Havan or Homa (ritual)
There are revelations given to our ancient sages after several years of prayers and austerities. The foremost among our ancient rituals is the ritual of Havan. Almost every ancient culture in this world has the fire as an integral part of worship.
Havanam (also Havana, Havan) is the term for a sacred purifying ritual (yajna) in Hinduism that involves a fire ceremony. It is a ritual of sacrifice made to the fire god Agni. After lighting a Havan Kund (sacrificial fire), objects such as fruits, honey, or wooden goods are put into the sacred fire. If there are any spirits that are evil around you or even inside you they get burned off in the sacred fire. It is believed that this sacrifice will bring health, happiness, luck and prosperity.via wiki

Primary Contributions (2)
the kinds of activities engaged in by sizable but loosely organized groups of people. Episodes of collective behaviour tend to be quite spontaneous, resulting from an experience shared by the members of the group that engenders a sense of common interest and identity. The informality of the group's structure is the main source of the frequent unpredictability of collective behaviour. Included in collective behaviour are the activities of people in crowds, panics, fads, fashions, crazes, publics, cults, and followings as well as more organized phenomena, such as reform and revolutionary social movements. Because it emphasizes groups, the study of collective behaviour is different from the study of individual behaviour, although inquiries into the motivations and attitudes of the individuals in these groupings are often carried out. Collective behaviour resembles organized group behaviour in that it consists of people acting together; but it is more spontaneous—and consequently more...

East London singer-songwriter John Parry has announced the release of his self-produced EP, 'Enough', out March 4th. 'Enough' marks the debut release from the 18-year-old former winner of the XLP Arts Showcase.
The EP is preceded by the supremely moody lead single and title track 'Enough' and will feature three other newly penned songs. It is pervaded by Parry's personality and nerve: unafraid to tell his uncensored story. 'Do' with its broodingly infectious 'All I Wanna Do Is Her' refrain for example. The songs are inspired by real-life experiences and his blunt lyrics provocatively convey the messages of a young man exploring life, love, relationships and his surroundings.

'A new breed of wealth has been created in recent times'
With stock markets recently experiencing their worst turbulence since mid-recession, it's an interesting time to sit down for lunch with a wealth manager like Jonathan Dobbin
The developments in China last month had a "stomach churning" effect on markets, he tells me. And even a holiday overseas can be interrupted by the need to advise clients if there's a crisis in the markets. Jonathan has to follow the international news agenda closely to assuage concerns clients might have. But calm may have been restored - just. He says: "There is data suggesting both European and US economics are on improving trajectories". And China's difficulties may ultimately prove not to be the definitive influencing factor. "We still see the ongoing economic upswing in the US economy as trumping China's wobbles in the prospects for global economic growth."
The Wealth and Investment Management arm of Barclays, which Jonathan now leads, was established in Belfast in 2008, just as US investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 1 bankruptcy. Jonathan remained resident in Scotland for the first few years and travelled four days a week to Belfast. "I think I gained 10 years when I stopped commuting four days a week," he jokes.
Fittingly for dining in a sister restaurant of Mourne Seafood Bar, we both opt for seafood - scallop linguine for Jonathan, and hake with wild rice and beetroot for me.
The events of 2008 were followed by years of tumult, but Jonathan reveals that the great wealth held by his client base - usually individuals with a worth of more than £30m in investable wealth - does insulate them against a recession.
Inevitably, the identity of his clients is a closely-guarded secret. But he says advising people on what to do with their money is a privileged role, and that he gains many great insights into the life-cycle of entrepreneurship. And a firm like Barclays will be on hand to advise business people about to land even greater sums as a result of a sale of their company. He says there has been "huge growth" in clients since it was established in 2008, with the firm gaining mainly through word of mouth.
And he thinks there is a strong culture of entrepreneurialism here. "We've had shipbuilding here, linen works, and we've had some of the largest manufacturing bases here, and I think that's ingrained business success in society. We've lots of very successful owner-managed businesses, and much old wealth which has been around for a long time. And we now have a new breed of wealth that's been created relatively recently."
Even though the conventional understanding of the property market is bound up in the torrid events of the crash, most very wealthy people here have still retained their property fortunes, he explains.
The firm often comes on board to advise on what to do with one's wealth in the future. Succession planning is important, and some company owners may find the next generation is not interested in the family business.
Jonathan modestly explains that he "fell into" wealth management after a degree in business and Spanish in Scotland, where he stayed for nearly 20 years before moving back home with his Scottish wife and two children. His first job was with National Australia Bank before moving to Greig Middleton stockbrokers in Scotland, which was ultimately absorbed into Barclays.
Seizing on the Spanish side of his degree, I ask if an interest in foreign languages reveals anything about him. He is an intrepid traveller, and enjoyed a recent holiday in Malaysia - punctuated by closely following the outcome of the Greek elections for its potential impact on client portfolios. He's also been to India, Vietnam, Asia, New Zealand and Africa, among others.
It's clear he enjoys following the news agenda for its impact on clients, but he stresses it's the long view that matters. "We spend much of our time advising clients to focus on the long term, where the investment debate is less cluttered and, if history is an accurate guide, the returns to a diversified portfolio are a little more assured."
The mantra often repeated by our colleagues in behavioural finance is that "it's not about timing the market, it's time in the market".

Guitar Anyone?
So which do you guys play? I'm curious to see the responses. As for me, I do all three.
I do none of those. Plus I've never heard of any of those except for Guitar Hero, which I want to start getting into soon. It seems pretty fun.
hm, I play the real stuff - our racedriver called Kenny Brack once told; to play guitar live is the same kick as driving a race car... I'm not sure since I've not beeing driving racecars at that speed . But I sure can tell you that playing guitargames is not as fun!
I started by playing Guitar Hero, and for some reason, playing Rock Band with friends, motivated us to start an actual band, as we all basically play instruments. so I guess you could say I play all three.
Havent played the games though, so cant judge them. The real thing is nice as well ;D

Finally...Winter's first storm of the season arrives.
An upper level storm system will strengthen as it tracks across the region today, producing accumulating snow, a stout wind and slowly falling temperatures.
Snow is expected to begin prior to sunrise west of the Illinois River and spread east, reaching the Indiana-border by noontime. The snow will continue into tonight, with accumulations ranging from an inch or two south of I-70 to 3 to 5 inches near the Kankakee River.In addition to the falling snow, a west to northwest wind of 20 to 30 mph will gust in excess of 40 mph at times, creating blowing and drifting snow.
Of concern, snow initially falling on unfrozen ground could cause initial melting forming a thin layer of ice before the snow begins to accumulate.

Organiser of Police Cells Museum
We are in our ninth year of running paranormal events. We aim to achieve the highest level of spirit communication and to give you a fun and enjoyable evening you wont forget. Professionally run and fully insured.
Paranation have limited places and invite you to join us for an evening of paranormal investigating at Brighton Old Police Cells Museum, Brighton, dating back to the 1830's. Original prisoner graffiti adorns the cell walls and there has been a long standing history of hauntings. You will have full access to both cell blocks downstairs, together with the sub-basement area. A location that takes on a sinister feel after dark, join us as we investigate this eerie location.
The location housed the Brighton Borough main police station from 1830 to 1967. The Museum is situated below the Town Hall. The Town Hall was built in 1832 on the ground which in the 13th century was the market garden tended by monks, forming part of St Bartholomews Priory. The venue is now a museum which houses a unique collection of trunchions and tipstaves, one of the largest in the country. The collection was made by Alderman Caffyn and is on permanent loan to the museum from the Sussex police authority.
A truly spine chilling location and we can't begin to list the many accounts of activity we have witnessed here. Here are just a few: • Reported to be predominantly haunted by a Chief Constable murdered by a prisoner in 1844• One cell is claimed to be particularly haunted • Troubled souls that were incarcerated in the cells and detention areas, most likely to have been abused by early policing methods • The spectral figure of a man clad in dark attire has been seen down in the cellars • The apparition of a man in a long dark coat and top hat appear from the area of the old cells in the 1980's• Ghostly monks butchered by the French in 1514 are also said to reside in the basement • The spectre of a repulsive hag-like figure wearing a long flowing gown has also been seen • We may also come across chattering of old councillors who have been chatting away there for the best part of two centuries • Charles Dickens also gave readings to packed audiences here.

Kai Ryssdal: As the FDIC works its way toward boosting federal insurance coverage for private bank deposits, it's worth taking a look for a second at those banks. So far, regulators clearly seem to think bigger is better. Yesterday, it was Citigroup swallowing up Wachovia. Last week, Washington Mutual's deposits were bought by JPMorgan. Two weeks ago, the already enormous Bank of America became even bigger with its purchase of Merrill Lynch. The end result is a lot more of your money in a lot fewer hands.
From New York, Marketplace's Jeremy Hobson reports on what that means for those banks and what it's gonna mean for you.
Jeremy Hobson: All this bank consolidation may be scary, but banking analyst Bart Narter says it beats the alternative.
Bart Narter: A super bank is much better than a bank that's in business and a bank that's out of business. So it's far better to have a JPMorgan Chase Wamu than it is to have JPMorgan Chase and WaMu close down.
In that case and the others the big plus for the buyers is a vast customer base and all their deposits, says independent banking analyst Nancy Bush.
Nancy Bush: Consumer deposits are the most dependable funding agent that a bank can have.
Consumers get access to more branches and ATMS, but Travis Plunkett of the Consumer Federation of America says consolidation means customers will also be earning lower interest rates on their savings, among other annoying side effects.
Travis Plunkett: They will pay more in the way of banking fees, they will pay more for certain products like credit cards and overall will not have the kind of alternatives that they have had in the past.
They might be happy to make those sacrifices in return for a feeling of security. In mid-town Manhattan, Jerry McVeigh has just finished an ATM transaction at Bank of America. He says, amidst all the turmoil in the banking system, he feels safe with one of the big guys.
Jerry McVeigh: You know it will go down only if the whole country will go down, because it basically represents the whole country.
McVeigh might be right. Now that his bank has gobbled up Merrill Lynch, just as Citigroup and JPMorgan are bigger today than they were last month, these behemoths may now be simply too big to fail.
In New York, I'm Jeremy Hobson for Marketplace.

We are arriving at airport in santiago de compostela and are travelling to vigo for a 2 week holiday. Is there a train or a bus to Vigo. Any suggestions for our stay to be wonderful. We are from Australia
I took the bus from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, Portugal last summer and it went through Vigo. The place looked beautiful and I was sorry I wasn't getting off there to spend a few days.
From Santiago to Vigo:
Trains: Rua do Hòrreo (2 hours, Monday to Friday 17 per day, 6:15 am-9:37 pm, Euros 5.55-7.70) via Pontevedra (1-1 1/2 hr, Euros 3.75-5.05).
Buses: Estaciòn Central de Autobuses, R. de Rodriguez, 20-minute walk from downtown. (2 hours; Monday to Friday hourly 9 am-10 pm, Saturday hourly 9 am-1 pm and 5-9 pm, Sunday 9 per day 10 am-9 pm; Euros 8) via Pontevedra (1 1/2 hour, Euros 5.15).
Public Transportation: Local buses : Bus # 6 to train station. Bus # 5 to bus station.
I didn't stay in Vigo so I can only pass on a few "Thumbs Up" from my guidebook Let's Go Spain.
Restaurante Lamari, Pl. de la Piedra. Fresh seafood
Groceries, Supermercado Froiz, R. do Uruguai, 14, Monday to Saturday
Pulperìas (octopus stands) around As Avenidas boardwalk, near Casco Antiguo (try the Pulpa, it's fantastic in the area!)
Nightlife: Black Ball, R. Churruca, 8. Throw-back into psychedelic.
English-language booksotre: Casa del Libro, C. Velàsquez Moreno, 27, downhill off Calle Principe.
Day trips: Islas Cìes (Illas Cìes) 14 kms by ferry, 4 minutes. Book early in the morning.
Train to Ribadavia, 1 hour. This town is famous for its Jewish history, good wines and intl theater fest in mid-July.
Cangas, quiet coastal town, ferry 20 minutes.
Enjoy your holiday! Suerte!
I think the timetable will depend on the day on which you are travelling. (like sundays or public holidays there will be less services)
I would suggsts you look these up on either (for buses)
and (for the trains)
Thankyou so much. We are going to travel south through Portugal(with a car) for the following 3 weeks after the rest in Vigo. Any hints on where best to visit would be appreciated.
Thankyou Alza. We will be travelling south with a car through Portugal from here for 2 weeks. Any hints would be appreciated.
Where do you pick your car up and where do you drop it off?
Do you have 2 or 3 weeks?
What are your interests?
First look through the following website:
I understand that you're picking up a rental car in Vigo and going to Portugal from there, for 2 weeks.
I did that by bus after walking the Camino to Santiago. Have lots of notes, collected information (there's a Camino from Porto to Santiago, crossing into Spain at Tuy (or Tui.) You might be doing this route in reverse, coming from Vigo towards Porto.
If I had had a car, I would have explored the North better, following the GREEN roads on maps (pleasant itineraries), then gone to Lisbon (no need for a car there.) But I was tired after walking through Spain a month and took 5 days to recover in Porto, then in Oeiras, near Lisbon.
PORTO: I stayed outside centre by mistake, but it turned out to be the best place to relax, steps from the shore of the Douro, going towards the ocean. Beautiful promenade, relaxed people and lots of fresh air and beaches. Cafés both traditional and modern, stylish stores, much more peaceful than in town.
After siesta (it was terribly hot), I'd go in town and it was great. Very lively.
Porto would be the base to explore the North. I'll email you names of a few highlights that can be done within 10 days (or skip some to save days) and you could still reach Lisbon & spend a few days there & around with your 2 weeks.
I need to get my notes out, see you later.
The cheapest way for you is to take the airport bus just outside the terminal and get off at either the bus station stop or at the railway station stop.I prefer the train-just check and see which connection is better for you1
Other wise take a taxi to the train or bus station.
Try to find some time to visit Santiago!
Thankyou again for your reply. We are going to pick up the car from Santiago airport and drive to Vigo. We will have the car the whole time now. We are interested in taking trips to villages and understanding the lifestyle of the locals. We love small and large markets, seafood, music and generally walking to beautiful places. We travelled through Morocco this way also. We love to drive so thats not a problem. We stay for 2 weeks at Vigo and then hope to plan the rest of our trip (3 weeks) from there. Travelling south or north whichever we feel will be the nicest. We prefer little towns to big cities.
Any ideas will be most welcome. I am new to this site and am still finding my way around answering back.
Oh dear if you love small villages then Vigo is not going to be fore you…It is the largest and most industrial city in Galicia. It could be a good base but getting in an out by car is going to be quite complicated at times.
For all the tourist information about Galicia look through the official website which is www.turgalicia.es
Here you will find something that will tick all of the boxes for you.
Enjoy green Spain.
Thankyou for letting me know about the car in Vigo. We will have sat nav so it may help!! We really wanted the 2 weeks to unwind before the rest of the trip and were hoping to do daily trips from Vigo to surrounding areas. Any suggestions. We are hoping to access smaller villages for the rest of the three weeks making our way back to Madrida via Portugal, to fly back to Australia. Thats where I was hoping for some information regarding liitle villages etc B and B's. Thankyou so much for helping.
Wow thankyou for all the information. We are going through our travel guide book slowly. Im getting a little excited as the time gets closer. Is the language barrier a BIG problem? Are there any particular Easter Village Fairs near Vigo worth visiting?
For B&Bs read through the Turgalicia website...B&Bs do not exist in towns and cities in Spain you have to sleep in Hotels or hostels.
Never heard of any Easter Fairs in Galicia but then it is a huge chunk of land so I may have missed out on that one.
English is not so commonly spoken in this part of Spain. So have a good phrase book handy if you do not have any Spanish.
wowwww, two weeks in Galicia!! A really nice thing to do is enjoy the coast, I spent some days in two different years just going from Ribadeo(LUGO) to LA Guarda (Pontevedra). Public transport is not really good, but if you rent a car or find a nice person who likes to travel and show the country (I found her!!) it's the best thing to do. I enjoyed: Cies Islands in summer (it's a paradise), the highest cliffs of Europe (near Ferrol, Coruna), Cape Finisterre, "end of the world" (the western most point of Galicia), Santiago (of course!!), Rias Baixas y Altas (completely different), Coruna city (I had a really good guide, the girl who showed me Galicia)... Enjoy a lot and enjoy the people!!!
Gracias y obrigado for your reply to transit to Vigo from Santiago Compostela. I am walking Madrid-Sahagun - Santiago Compostela on my second Camino in 10 years -- and 10 years older!
I have a good chunk of time walk The Way (April 27 - June 13) and thought, well, heck, Portugal is just around the corner and it's the one European country I have never visited nor lived in!
After your advice -- and, in this moment, highly optimistic about my level of fitness after 30+ days on Camino -- I could walk from Vigo back to Santiago Compostela. Then, too, there is this pull to Lisboa ... always fascinated me!
Well, I reckon it is down to how may Euros I have left as the US dollar is getting quite a beating.
Knowing I have the travel option you provided in rich detail is encouraging. And who knows who, what, when, why and where on and post-Camino? St James may have something altogether different in mind for me!

An important figure of modernism in the 1930s, and the principal protagonist of organic design in the 1950s, Charlotte Perriand was a true 20th century pioneer. Although her name has long been inseparable from that of Le Corbusier, in this volume Perriand is shown in a new light, as the vital energy and rigorous, natural forms of her furniture and integrated spaces are examined. A fascinating portrait of a free-spirited woman whose accomplishments continue to embellish our everyday life.
Art critic and design historian Elisabeth Vedrenne has written for numerous magazines including Decoration Internationale and Elle Decoration.

How does this work?
Just shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or via my contact page, and let me know that you're interested in booking a session! I'll get back to you as quickly as possible, and we'll set up a time to have a chat about what you have in mind for your photos. I want to hear about your family, what you're looking for in a photographer, and about the type of photos you envision for your session. We'll also talk scheduling, locations, and anything and everything else you'd like to discuss. To reserve your session, I will send you an invoice for the portrait session fee, which reserves your session time. Within two to three weeks of your shoot, I will send you a link to your online proofing gallery of edited photos from your session, and all ordering can be done from there! I'm happy to answer any and all questions during the process as well.
Can my kids bring toys to the shoot?
Absolutely! Whatever they're comfortable with is just fine with me. It makes the photos even more personal to have a favorite toy appear. Same goes for costumes... if your daughter adores tutus or your son hasn't taken off his Superman cape in weeks? Get those in the photos! They'll be a great reminders of your kids' favorites whenever you look at your photos in the future. This is another reason that I love to do sessions in people's homes... it's such a tangible reminder of how your life is at exactly this moment. Toys on the floor? Of course! Shoes everywhere? Sure. This is how life is, so why not remember it this way?
Where should we take the pictures?
I love shooting outdoors all around Austin, including various parks (Mayfield Park and Laguna Gloria are favorites, as are the Capitol grounds); for portraits, my favorite location is actually your home. Kids are most comfortable there; they can truly let go and be themselves in their home. Please visit my "families and lifestyle" gallery to see photos that have taken place in people's homes... I'd love to capture your family members in their happiest place.
I'm interested in talking weddings!
Woooo! Me, too! Wedding talk is a little different than portrait session talk, for sure; once you send me an inquiry via my contact site, I'll email back so we can set a time to meet up for coffee/a walk/a cocktail. I want to hear about what you're planning for your wedding, and you want to make sure that I'm someone that you're comfortable with on your wedding day! Aside from your significant other, the person who is with you the most on your wedding day is your photographer, so it's always a good idea to make sure that we're on the same page and that we know we'll have a great time together on your wedding day. My goal for your wedding day is for you to not worry about a thing, and to know that your wedding day is being captured with love, care, and responsibility. Once we determine that we're a great fit (because of course we are!), I'll send over a questionnaire about your wedding, as well as a contract. Once I have received your signed contract (I then sign it and return it to you so we both have a copy) and your deposit to book the date, it's on my calendar.

• Friday Lunchtime arrival – Sunday post-breakfast departure
Creative Solution
We designed the entire festival-goer experience, produced cad plans of the three fields and mapped-out where each element would be positione. Essentially field one was the festival field, featuring the main stage, stretch hospitality marquee, street food catering vans, dodgems, children's area, country pursuits, motorised sports and sports field. Field two housed 70 bell tents at the bottom of the field, a retail village, a craft beer and ale tent, ferret racing, pig racing, inflatable games and a second children's area. Field three was the main bell tent village housing 200 bell tents, showers and toilets. As beautiful as the venue was, the access into the location posed one of the greatest challenges. We looked at varying access points closer to the festival site, and there were possibilities of access through a farmers farm (he said no), then coming in a side entrance which was only about 250 metres from the festival site but there was a resident who refused access this way, so the only way to get all the production into the venue was down the 1 mile driveway.
Impact and Effectiveness
The impact of the event achieved and perhaps even surpassed our expectations – more importantly the Baringa Team set out to achieve, it blew the attendees away and reinforced to them and their families the difference between Baringa and its competitors and why they choose to work there.
The idea of Baringafest initially came from the Senior Partner group who wanted to do something truly extraordinary to commemorate our 15th anniversary and this event delivered everything we wanted to achieve and then some. To have 400 employees, representing more than 90% of the firm, with their families including more than 200 children in a field for a weekend was a risk for us but, it's a key part of Baringa's culture to build an inclusive, family feel and we felt this would be a great way to deliver this. Achieving this brings a number of key benefits to the firm and our clients as it helps our people develop wider, deeper relationships with their colleagues which in turn improves how they collaborate as a team in delivery. In an industry that often demands long hours and travel, it's important that to recognise that work is only one part of everyone's lives. Including families is not only an opportunity to say thank you for their support, but also help them feel engaged in the firm and it's values. All this helps employee engagement, retention and recruitment.

Drvengrad, meaning Wooden Town, also known as Küstendorf and Mećavnik, is a traditional village that the Serbian film director Emir Kusturica built for his film Life is a Miracle.
It is located in the Zlatibor District near the city of Uzice, two hundred kilometers southwest of Serbia's capital, Belgrade. Drvengrad is also known as Küstendorf, as a word play on German "dorf" (village) and Kusturica's nickname, "Kusta". Kusturica has also been known to call it Mećavnik, which is the name of the neighbouring village.
Drvengrad has a library, named the Ivo Andrić Library; an artist gallery named Macola in honor of sculptor Dragan Jovićević (it was previously known as Anika, after a character from Ivo Andrić's prose); Cinema Stanley Kubrik; a main house which houses a cinema-hall in the cellar, a living room, a guest room, a closed yard, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a sauna and private rooms for the Kusturica family; a sports hall; a restaurant; a cake shop, as well as a souvenir shop; and finally, a Church dedicated to St. Sava.

Code from the Past: a tiny real time raytracer from 2000
Back in 2000, I was intrigued by the various demos that I saw which attempted to implement real time raytracing. I wondered just what could be done with the computers I had on hand, without using any real tricks, but just a straightforward implementation of ray/sphere and ray/patch intersection. As I recall, I got two or three frames a second back then. I dusted off this code, and recompiled it for my MacBook (it uses OpenGL/GLUT, so it should be reasonably portable) and now it actually runs pretty reasonably. The code isn't completely horrific, and might be of some use to someone as an example. It's not clever, just straightforward and relatively easy to understand.
RTRT3, a tiny realtime raytracer
Addendum: I recompiled this on some of our spiffy machines at work, and immediately encountered a bug: there is nothing really to prevent infinite recursion. It's possible (especially when the sphere and plane are touching) for a ray to get "stuck" between the sphere and plane. The simplest cure is to just keep track of how deep the recursion is by passing a "level" variable down through the intersect routines, and return FALSE for any intersection which is "too deep" (say, beyond six reflections deep). When modified thusly, I get about 96 FPS on my current HP desktop machine, running on one core. It has 12, incidently.
Comment from DTL
Time 4/13/2011 at 3:48 am
I couldn't compile this on my OSX install with your makefile, so this is what I had to do:
Change the #include to #include in rtrt3.c
and compile and link with: gcc -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL -framework Cocoa -lm rtrt3.c -o rt3rt3
Then it works – might have a fiddle with the code and see how I can break it…

Caritas - Diffa - Niger
Babaye Abdou, 18 years old takes part in a Cartias community activity program for teenage boys and men collecting rubbish in the town of Diffa, Niger on February 12, 2016. 65 men without other means of employment engage in the program collecting rubbish in the streets of various neighbourhoods of Diffa. They participate 10 times per month and are paid 1300 francs (approx. $2) each time. Seen as vulnerable group, especially young men between the age of 14-35 who are susceptible to joining Boko Haram because of no means of earning an income in Diffa, the purpose of the program is the give these men some means of earning money. Many youth after school in the past purchased motorbikes and worked as taxi drivers in the city. With the military banning this in late 2015 because of the frequency of attacks by Boko Haram on motorbikes, approximately 600 who worked in this profession are without jobs. The Caritas staff leading the program undertake awareness campaigns teaching young men about all the damaging effects of the current crisis in the region triggered by Boko Haram.
'I heard about the program in my neighbourhood through friends of mine that were involved and they introduced me to the organisers. It's the first time I have participated and I needed the work. Before I had a job making bricks but with an injury I can't do that anymore so this gives me some income.'

Tomi Taylor kills time at laundromat with a hot blowjob
Duration: 3min 29sec Views: 5 229 Submitted: 2 years ago Submitted by:
Description: I ran into a beautiful girl at the laundromat the other night and I had this feeling that I knew her from somewhere but I couldnt put my finger on it. I kept guessing and she was telling me I was wrong. Eventually she gave me a hint by taking off her clothes! I immediately knew who she was from the porn that I watch. She showed off her amazing curves and soaped up her ass to make it nice and shiny. Thats when another person I knew from porn came in - Tommy Gunn! Them two immediately when at it, he licked her pussy and Tomi returned the favor by deepthroating his thick rod! She got bent over and got pounded into and then they got on top of the machines and fucked until Tommy dropped his load all over her perfectly round ass!

A little bit more, rule 240
Buffalo Travel Blog› entry 11 of 17 › view all entries
June 25th, 2007 – by: chivato
Okay.. so I was heading into seattle this past weekend where I had some affair to settle out and ended up flying northwest airlines (ugh). Under normal circumstances, this would make me unhappy but this would be 6 flight endeavor for a 3 day trip.. not my idea of fun. Anyway, when I got to the airport for my return flight(s) (thank god I got there insanely early) it turned out that my opening flight was cancelled due to a lack of crew. Since this wasn't some sort of "act of god", I broke out the whole rule 240 info and was able to be placed on a convenient flight of my choosing. Granted, there is a caveot. The airline that you'd be transferred to, does not have to accept you as a passenger. So, while I was going through the whole ordeal of flying out roughly when I was supposed to (overnights blow, but they're better than paying for a hotel room for a night when you anticipated not having to) I ended up having to do another iteration of the "go to northwest, go to another airline, go back to northwest, etc". In all, I had to chat with northwest's ticket agents 3x as they didn't really have their shit together.
Anyway, it always helps to have your information handy, seriously, since its pretty likely that you'll be dealing with people who don't.

Posts Tagged 'Relationship to Food'
Love Your FoodJuly 21st, 2016 at 5:12 pm by timigustafson
When nutrition professionals talk about "befriending food," they usually do so in the context of eating disorders. They point out the importance of not seeing "food as the enemy," as one well-known author put it, or "making peace with food," as others have counseled. For me – also a nutrition expert – it's a much simpler proposition. Loving food is to understand what it does, how it nourishes us, and also to appreciate what it takes to make good food available.
Food, especially 'real' food, is a wonderful thing. It should never be taken for granted, wasted, or disregarded for all the benefits it provides. "Let food be your medicine," the Greek physician Hippocrates famously said. Indeed, food can keep us healthy and help us fight and overcome disease.
Unfortunately, it's no secret that most people are alienated from their food supply. Few of us know, or care to know, where our food comes from, how it is processed or prepared, and how we benefit from it. Yes, we have more nutritional information than ever given to us, but such data are oftentimes either confusing or outright misleading.
To understand the true value of food is to understand what the body requires to fully function. I know, it sounds corny when health counselors sometimes advise their clients to 'listen' to their body, but it does make sense. The body does make its needs known if we pay attention.
Just ask yourself how you feel after eating a big meal? Probably sluggish. After too much fat intake? Sick. After a highly nutritious boost? Energized – right? Your body lets you know right away what you have done to it.
Our relationship with food is tricky. Even if it's dysfunctional, we cannot put an end to it, unlike with alcohol or drug use. We can't live without food. It's essential to our existence.
But when the way we eat makes us sick and causes us diseases like obesity, diabetes or heart disease, we need to recalibrate and develop a different approach to how we handle the presence of food in our lives.
Throughout my years as a dietitian and health counselor, I have seen many clients with an antagonistic attitude towards food, while still exhibiting addictive behavior they seemingly could not overcome. Yes, there is such a thing as a love-hate relationship with food. They couldn't enjoy eating, and they couldn't resist it either.
What is the answer to such a dilemma? Learn to love your food, I would say. Because it reflects how you love yourself, and the way you live your life.
How we relate to food translates and broadcasts how we feel about our very existence, says Pilar Gerasimo, a founding editor of the health magazine Experience Life.
"Whether we eat consciously or unconsciously, strategically or randomly, pleasurably or dutifully, with voracious hunger or ho-hum disinterest, we can always see in our relationship with food something true and essential about the way we experience other aspects of our lives," she says.
In other words, we not only are what we eat, we also choose who we want to be in our relationship with food.
So what does a healthy relationship with food look like in terms of everyday living?
People with a healthy relationship to food eat mindfully, says Sarah Klein, a wellness coach and contributing editor at Huffington Post. Their approach to food is based on moderation, good timing, and planning ahead. They enjoy their food and appreciate its value. They don't get seduced by fads and trends. And they don't let diet concerns interfere with their daily routines. In sum, their relationship with food is constructive and empowering, instead of destructive and dysfunctional.

Our Estranged Relationship with FoodAugust 30th, 2014 at 7:37 pm by timigustafson
Americans feel less assured about the quality of their food than they used to. In a recent survey by Consumer Reports magazine, over 90 percent of respondents said they wanted to know more about what they were eating and would welcome detailed information about food production, including country of origin and genetic modifications.
At the same time, the vast majority of consumers buys its food supply from places that offer convenience and low prices. Those are not organic grocery stores or local farmers markets. One study on changing consumer trends listed Walmart and Target as the new top destinations for food shoppers. Despite the hype in recent years over locally grown fare, farmers markets only came in seventh.
"Its not the places selling organic quinoa and Swiss chard that are getting the grocery business, it's big box stores, convenience stores, and even pharmacies," says Anna Brones, a food writer and founder of Foodie Underground.
And it's not just people on a limited budget who frequent these places. As it turns out, even wealthy people buy their groceries increasingly from non-grocers, according to a report published by Forbes.
What this means is that not only traditional retail categories are more and more blurring, but that food itself is no longer considered and treated as something different from all the other commodities we avail ourselves of.
We don't think much about where our food comes from and how it gets to our tables, or what has to happen so that our supermarkets' produce and meat sections can be filled, says Harvey Blatt, a professor of geology and author of "America's Environmental Report Card" (MIT Press). In most people's minds, edibles just miraculously appear on shelves. But the fact that our food consumption has become so far removed from agriculture has serious consequences, he warns.
For decades, the American food industry has fought tooth and nails to keep the mechanics of modern food production hidden from the public. Meanwhile, consumers have developed a blissful ignorance of what exactly goes into their meals, whether it's packaged items from the supermarket or burgers from the fast food chain, writes Rachel Kalisher, a Florida-based food columnist.
Although there are many reports and documentaries shedding light on the darker side of mass food production, it doesn't seem to dissuade enough people from buying these products. Consequently, the respective industries are not motivated to offer better solutions to feeding a growing world population, Kalisher explains.
Still, she says, not all has to be lost. Consumers have more control than they think. Mindless eating habits and ignorance about food quality is not something we should be willing to live with indefinitely.
Healthy eating is not just a matter of money, although rising food prices are becoming an ever-greater concern. Equally or perhaps more important is education. Here, the damage of much neglect has to be undone.
Especially children and adolescents in America today are perfectly clueless about food, laments Jamie Oliver, celebrity chef and self-appointed crusader for health education in schools. There are virtually no classes in nutrition taught anywhere in the country, and less than 25 percent of high school students receive even a minimum of information about consumer science, formerly known as home economics.
Learning the basics of how food is produced and which foods provide essential nutrients especially young bodies need to grow and function properly should be the first goal for schools and parents to aim for, according to the Jamie Oliver's Food Foundation, which organizes initiatives and programs that teach children the importance of healthy eating early in life.
Reconnecting with our most fundamental needs such as food may be hard, considering how much we have become estranged, however by supporting and guiding the next generation, we may have a chance to start over.

Competition: Timab appeals against General Court judgment in animal feed phosphates cartel
On 28 September 2015, details of an appeal by Timab Industries ("Timab"), and its parent company Cie financière et de participations Roullier ("CFPR"), against a General Court ("GC") judgment were published. The GC's judgment dismissed their action, challenging the Commission's decision to fine Timab and CFPR for their role in facilitating the animal feed phosphates cartel. When the Commission informed the parties of the range of fines it intended to set, Timab discontinued the settlement procedure. It became the only party to the Commission's standard administrative procedure and, together with CFPR, received a fine of nearly EUR 60 million.
Timab and CFPR claim that the GC erred in law; breached various legal principles, such as the burden of proof, rights of the defense and the right not to self-incriminate; and misconstrued its unlimited jurisdiction in reviewing the fine on the parties and the duration of their involvement in the cartel. In addition, Timab and CFPR claim that the GC proceedings were unreasonably long.

Merger control: Commission opens in-depth investigation into proposed acquisition of Office Depot by Staples
On 25 September 2015, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation (so-called "Phase II") into the proposed acquisition of Office Depot by Staples. Staples and Office Depot, both of the US, are active in the distribution of office products via a number of sales channels, including wholesale, retail, direct sales (online and via catalog), and national or international supply contracts. Their customers include companies in the private sector and public administrations.
The Commission's initial investigation showed that Staples and Office Depot, together with their largest European competitor Lyreco, are the main suppliers of office products to business customers through international contracts in the European Economic Area. The remaining smaller competitors have a more limited geographic presence and may not be able to exercise a sufficient competitive constraint on the merged entity. According to the Commission, the transaction could eliminate an important competitor and reduce the choice of suitable suppliers in already concentrated markets, which could lead to price increases. The Commission's initial investigation also indicated possible competition concerns in the market for the supply of office products to business customers through national contracts in the Netherlands and Sweden. Especially regarding Sweden, the Commission noted that the merging parties appear to have no significant competitors who offer a wide portfolio of products.
The Commission now has 90 working days, until 10 February 2016, to investigate the proposed acquisition and determine whether these initial concerns are confirmed or not. The opening of an in-depth inquiry does not prejudge the result of the investigation. Source: Commission Press Release 25/9/2015
State aid: Commission opens in-depth state aid investigation into exemptions from Irish air travel tax
On 28 September 2015, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation into an exemption granted by Ireland to certain airlines relieving them from paying air travel tax for transfer and transit passengers. This follows a General Court ("GC") judgment of November 2014, which annulled the Commission's 2011 decision finding that not applying the air travel tax to transit and transfer passengers did not constitute state aid.
The Commission concluded in 2011, without opening an in-depth state aid investigation, that the disputed measure was not selective. However, the GC concluded that the Commission's preliminary investigation and analysis of the issue of selectivity was incomplete and insufficient. The GC held that the Commission should have initiated a formal investigation procedure to verify whether the disputed measure was selective and to allow interested third parties to submit their observations and comments.
The Commission states that it will now investigate whether the air travel tax exemption provides certain companies with a selective advantage, within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU"). The Commission will particularly examine whether the exemption avoids levying the tax twice on the same journey, and whether exempting transfer flights only when they were booked in a single-booking discriminates against airlines that do not apply a single-booking policy.

In addition, kindly note the following merger control decisions by the Commission which are published on the website of the Commission's Directorate-General for Competition:
- Commission approves joint venture by Interseroh and Impaso for sale of used electronic equipment
- Commission approves acquisition of Chime by Providence
- Commission approves acquisition of controlling stake in HASCO's Chinese automotive casting components activities by KSPG
