How To Make Own Dry Body Oil Spray

Banal everyday


For once (and after a long silence) I write on this page, starting from a personal and concrete. Yesterday I was in Milan, which I do not happen often anymore.
first leg, on the train that brought me to the railway station Garibaldi, I witnessed a scene of everyday racism. The conductor, a young boy and dry, with long strides through the carriage where I am, opens the door and stands in the compartment door opening. Standing there are two foreign students, one African and one South American. the controller intimate: "Ticket." The two do not have it. "Give me a document!" says doing more and more peremptory. The rejection of two young men, threatened to call the police and soon goes away angry. Back with three plain-clothes officers. I and another woman bewildered look and comment. Leave me incredulos the fact that no one has asked me a ticket. Neither me, nor to the other occupants of the carriage. Evidently, for that hard-working controller, immigrants can only be taken in chestnut. The three agents start
dall'africano. Obvious. To my great joy, when they ask a document, the boy exhibits an identity card! Tiè! Meanwhile, the train stops and the South American falls in a hurry. At the end of the three agents, who show so much more polite in the way of that diligent employee of Railways, shaking hands with the young African and go away. The controller mutters, "Sorry, guys ..."
Everything is done well. A penalty for the lack of ticket and go. But I am deeply struck by that scene. Moreover, I am angry with myself because the whole time I have sat there and dumb. After all, what happened with it? Perhaps nothing. But the manner and tone that the controller had an arrogance that is certainly not provided for by contract.
Arrival in Garibaldi and I go back to the subway. In the open space into which the railways, and metro pass, a police officer, two soldiers armed with light-hearted chat. I can not breathe. But we are a country under siege?
The military on the streets, far from giving me security, take me back to mind images of distant lands, the war in Congo, Palestine under siege ...
But whither are we going?
Arrive in S. Augustine. At the exit of the subway, a young woman with a headscarf is sitting on the ground and begging for alms. Incredulos remain. Never seen before.
Terminate the tasks that I had been brought there, back to the subway. A controller follows the turnstiles over a Roma woman and asks the ticket. E 'in order.
us?
I'm going back home, with the bitter consciousness of living in a country that is slowly slipping more and more towards intolerance. And we are watching.

Gta Vice City - Unhandled Exception (error)!

Dying


Here is the news that you would ever want to write, you do not want to ever read.
E 'occurred on the evening of June 12, Somalia: two boys executed because the world watched on TV. No, no, I mistyped. You got it. In Somalia today happens too.

Respiration Questions And Answers

Football Kick-off


And we got to June 11. After the usual opening ceremony, open the World Cup . For the first time in history, in Africa.
I did not think of employment, the undersigned being little or no attention to the phenomena Sports. Yet even now I realize that we are facing not only a historic event for the continent, but also an opportunity for the consequences that are difficult calculable.
Network, TV, radio already rages Waka Waka , the hymn of Shakira, with his pace and his movements Zulu. The ads were already adequate for all: a well-known soft drink (which I cite because it is between those who boycott for years) has produced a spot just fantastic, that I continue to cover (!), Not only for music and pictures, but also because I think it captures well the spirit of the continent, of joy inventiveness, creativity, Congo in what they call "if débrouiller, get away, fending for himself. And most of all dignity and pride.
Rai recently sent pictures of the inauguration, the commentators were talking study appeared in the background and images of children in South African townships. A reporter was sent to Soweto and shows the houses they lived in, years ago, Nelson Mandela (I visited in 2005) and Desmond Tutu (mythical last night!) Says that this is the only way to hano world where two Nobel prize winners lived. Meanwhile, last night aired the spot One goal, education for all ". And the image of Mandela dominates everything and everyone.
is: what years of activism and awareness campaigns have only had maybe maybe happen now, this month and lots of balloons. Never has the world been so political, in the broadest sense of the term and profound. And maybe (I hope not mistaken) will finally be the turning point for Africa and its image in the world: not only tragedies, not just poverty, but not only adventure tourism, safari fake, resorts that ignore the reality in which they occur. Perhaps, with the simplicity and supporters of the sport, you will be able to do justice to a continent that for the first time in the world for a month in a row, from character and not by appearance, by those who dictate the rules and not by those who suffered. Not much. Not solve the problems of the continent. But it is already a revolution. Africa has fallen on the field. It was time.
SIMAM Africa!

Free Full Movie Jenna Jameson

A Death Foretold


[carryover my article published today on the website of Nigrizia ]

He had disappeared the previous evening, and Wednesday, June 2, the Congolese police found him lifeless in his car in the western suburbs of Kinshasa, capital of Democratic Republic of Congo : Floribert Chebeya Bahizire, 47, human rights activist and president of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Voix des sans voix (Voice of the Voiceless), was killed. Of his driver Fidèle Bazana there has been no news.

difficult for now to reconstruct what happened. It's hard to tell if you will never get a legal truth sull'ennesimo political murder nell'Rd Congo. She was the wife in the evening first, to set an alarm had been in telephone contact with her husband until late afternoon, then nothing. He was on his way to the Inspectorate General of Police, where he had been convened the previous day and had an appointment at 17.30 with the Chief Inspector, General Numbi. With SMS, Chebeya later informed his wife that he was not received and that he would take a national teaching university. From there, nothing more. The man did not return phone calls most of his wife.

reactions
regret for the incident has been expressed by the Congolese authorities to the mouth of the Deputy Minister of Interior and Security, which also brought condolences the family on behalf of the Minister Adolphe Lumanu. Concern has been expressed by MONUC, the UN mission in Congo: Alan Doss, Special Representative of UN Secretary-General calls for serious and independent investigation.

shocked friends and fellow activists. In a statement to Radio Okapi, the President of the Friends of Nelson Mandela, Robert Ilunga, said: "We are approaching the elections and human rights defenders are in danger." Timothée Mbuya, president of the Asadho (Association africaine des droits de Défence de l'Homme) in Katanga, he questions the official version of the circumstances of the death of Chebeya and calls on NGOs to a protest march. According

Kobolongo Crispin, president of the NGO Action contre les Violations des droits des personnes vulnérables (Acvdp), "This despicable act continues to demonstrate the project to kill and intimidate human rights defenders and journalists." Kobolongo adds that in these cases, the Congolese are accustomed to investigations that never come to any concrete results. Another friend points out: "Today him, tomorrow I will. We are all on the black list. "

Chebeya And that was last seen inspectorate of police and was found the next day by the same police (who had arrested him several times in recent years) to someone is pointing the finger directly against the agents.

A memory
Personally, I met Floribert in January 2003 in Kinshasa. A match that daring in itself says a lot about how the activist lived and the risks they ran even then. How blessed are the peacemakers were closely following the developments in the Congo war, after a first action for peace, which was held in 2001 in Butembo and a second scheduled for 2002 in Kisangani, which had not been possible . A friend had thought of us meet the president of a small NGO that fought bravely for the defense of human rights: the Voix des sans voix.

That day gave us an appointment in an open place in the city center. There came a man who did not know, entertained us for a while ', making a number of questions, then told us to follow him. We entered a small shop. We followed the man into the back room and there we stopped in a windowless room with a table and some chairs. When he felt sufficiently reassured about us and our intentions, made a phone call. After a bit, 'came Floribert. Even then he was constantly threatened. He told us to stop and calm ways of continuing human rights violations committed by the authorities and the government of Joseph Kabila, whom he described with great hardness.

were moments when all the attention was pointed east, with the war. Floribert talked about what occurred in the capital, but also seeks to raise awareness among citizens on the fate of their countrymen in Kisangani, Bukavu, Goma. With particular strength with which we spoke of the systematic disappearing political opponents and activists and the climate of terror around the young Kabila. Was undergoing the process for the murder of Laurent Désiré Kabila (father Joseph) and many were the voices, and the background to the allegations that were told about the incident and hidden principals. To date, in fact, has not gone beyond the convictions for the perpetrators of the assassination, on which some also feed on many doubts.

At the end of our meeting, Chebeya went discreetly to an exit side, after having recommended to wait and not go out with him. Ten minutes later, another man accompanied us back to an exit of the store, through a maze of narrow streets, until we emerge again on one of the main streets of Kinshasa. So

Floribert Chebeya lived for years, hiding and constantly looking back, never bow to intimidation and still continue to denounce in particular the violations of press freedom, justice and prison rights. In Kinshasa in the years he had become perhaps the most representative voice of the defenders of basic freedoms.

His voice will rise to more complaints, allegations, defending. Sometimes it seemed almost biased: it was part of a man, of course. Was on the side of the weakest.

63125 Public Racquetball Courts

not only GM's global

Today the threat of Al Qaeda on the next World Cup. A few days ago, ' murder of the leader of the movement of Afrikaners ...
a strange country, South Africa, full of contradictions: to spearhead a heavily affected continent, a symbol of hope for what has been achieved after years of untold hardships and struggles, but the ashes still brooding hatred. I was there in 2005, few, intense days. A glimpse of its many facets. From the township with museums dedicated to the liberation struggle of blacks to modern shantytowns in which they are marginalized by the current immigrant neighbors were poor. From eyewitness accounts of the struggle of a time which is not far but it seems another era, white people reduced to begging at traffic lights. From the large, old Mandela in what is now the new president, Jacob Zuma, who five years ago was under investigation for rape.
But there is an episode that explains what all over South Africa today: we were a group of young journalists, on a trip organized by Nigrizia. Every day, a minibus driver with a cute blonde he took us to visit the most significant of Johannesburg and Pretoria. The two cities are connected by a highway, a few miles, as they are very close. That morning we rode quietly, talking among ourselves, on that highway. At one point, a 'knock' on the driver side and immediately starts running. More and more. We look at each other. He runs like a madman, someone tries timidly to ask him to slow down. None. It 's like mad. Chasing the van like a fury that has buffered. More than a collision, a small bump. The driver, always so kind, it seems another, beside himself. While running madly, call the police, seeking their intervention to stop the van. We are terrified, stuck to the seats, praying that the carcass of van shall not destroy it under our feet. The mad rush stops only upon arrival at the exit. Li has achieved. They are firm, have approached. We also draw near, the driver from the dashboard take a gun. We are incredulous and more amazed. Fortunately, at the time police arrived, at least four or five, which involved armed and determined, and regain control of the situation.
On that battered van, two workers were blacks. From as far as we understand, have no insurance and so they tried to escape. The police determine the subject matter and soothes the soul. The driver goes back to the van and apologized with a smile ...
We remain stunned for a while yet 'in disbelief at the ease with which he now pretends to nothing. And with the certainty - in leather - that the mad rush there would have been if the steering wheel of the van there were two blacks. Or if our driver had not been reddish-blond, with a mustache and blue eyes and had not spoken to Afrikaners.

Non Toxic Glue For Bird




The decision is very serious: The European Commission today gave the green light for GM potato .
Why serious? Explains it well Percy Schmeiser, who interviewed just a year ago in Milan. 78 year old Canadian, a symbol of the farmers who have rebelled against Monsanto and its unorthodox methods to force genetically modified seeds.
His story is one of thousands of small and medium farmers in the north as in the South, forced to accept the empire of a few multinational corporations without any benefit.
Beyond the potential health risks (studies on are still in progress), what alarms me most in the spread of genetically modified seeds is precisely the slavery that they cause and which is likely to bend mostly poor farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
To understand better, here is the story of the couple Schmeiser, as published in "Green News" March 20, 2009.

Do not repeat our mistakes
"I and my wife Louise have spent fifty years to select a seed rape suited to our region, in western Canada. But a bad day we received a complaint from Monsanto, which accused it of patent infringement. We understood that it was over half a century of work in smoke. " Who speaks and Percy Schmeiser, a farmer 78 year-old, famous worldwide for his fight against the colossus of GMOs. It's not just the elderly: a view, with that gentle, do not expect the fighting spirit that took him ten years around the world to launch
warnings about the consequences of the use of genetically modified seeds. In Italy came a few days ago, at the invitation of the society of biological Ecor NaturaSì. And his story is unbelievable. In 1996, Canada allows the introduction of four GM crops: corn, canola, soybeans and cotton. In '99, Monsanto's complaint for the first time Schmeiser. Percy, who was Mayor and also a member of provincial parliament, has not
escape and was sentenced to pay 170 thousand dollars (more than 300 thousand in legal costs): no matter how the genetically modified seeds have reached on its soil, even if with the wind, if there is patent infringement, and in addition you must pay all
harvest becomes the property of Monsanto.
Not satisfied, the corporation will complaint again requesting that Schmeiser pay his legal costs: one million dollars. The time
Court says no, because the corporation had made false statements in court. A year ago, the land of the two spouses is again contaminated. Schmeiser's case to make
Monsanto admits that this time their responsibilities and with a court settlement agrees to pay the costs of land reclamation. After ten years of struggle, a success.
"It was a victory not only for ourselves but for all the peasants of the world - says Percy -. We have created a precedent now the farmers know they have the right to ask
reclaiming their land. " The story does not end with their personal story: Percy Schmeiser complaint, thirteen years after the introduction of GMOs in Canada today, there are no more seeds.
The contamination has spread to plants of the same family and has even reached the honey. Even the agricultural economy has gone to hell, many foreign countries do not accept to buy their products. A real disaster. Not by chance the other required approvals for GM crops, rice, wheat, alfalfa and flax, have not been given. It is understood that the coexistence of GM and conventional seeds
is not possible. In the face of the promises made when they were allowed genetically modified organisms, which had "cost less,
to use less pesticides and produce more nutritious crops," it is noted that none of this is true: poor harvests of nutrients and pesticides increasingly strong and therefore the costs are soaring. Finally, the complaint of Percy is the ruthless methods of the multinational: "With advertising, Monsanto calls on farmers to report neighbors who could make use of GM crops without a license in exchange for promising
a leather jacket. In this way, each is wary and suspicious of their colleagues. When you buy from them, they sign a contract
in which we will not allow any case to Monsanto and not talk to the media in case of problems. Refer also to real letters of extortion.
we can write: "We believe that you cultivate GM soya without permission: If you want to avoid because you send us 100 thousand dollars."
The new danger is that today the multinational seed companies try to buy organic even around the world. In Canada it is increasingly difficult to find. "
Percy concludes with a warning: "As a grandmother I do not want to leave my grandchildren a legacy of land, air and water saturated with poisons. In '96 we were in Canada
unaware of the consequences of our choice. But now you do not. For this round the world saying: do not make our mistake. "

Skate Sharpening Craigslist.com

among us today, without us



It may not be an actual strike. Maybe the numbers will not be stratospheric. The short time elapsed between the facts of Rosarno - why trigger - and the date of today certainly has not helped. Meanwhile, for the first time in Italy migrants come together to make their voices heard. In a still imperfect, but it is an important beginning, very important.
The first step of awareness, for those who live in our country and finally raises his head, but also for the Italians who are forced to take note that Italy's present and future can not ignore the presence of foreign nationals.
And as I write I feel that some factories are in Brescia were forced to close due to the high number of migrant workers who have adhered to "A day without us."

Meanwhile, a few days ago was born in Turin to ANSI, the National Association of Intercultural Press, which, under the hat of FNSI (the Federation's Press), aims to aggregate and give voice and visibility to many journalists foreign origin working in our country. One aim, to "promote intercultural exchanges, promote within the category of technical and professional updating on immigration issues, contribute to the development and implementation of policies and practices for the promotion of cultural diversity within the media. "ANSI will also be open to Italian journalists sensitive to these issues.
Another small sign of the irreversible direction taken by the story.

Large Amount Of Discharge 5 Dpo

Avatar


While the cinema across the world are full of people who rushed to see Avatar, the latest jewel of technology James Cameron, someone calls right in the Canadian film: the story of Avatar does exist, and us.
is the Dongria Kondh tribe, which lives in the state of Orissa in India and is fighting to defend their land from a mining company determined to destroy their sacred mountain.

Dongria live in the hills of Niyamgiri. The company Vedanta Resources, one of 100 companies most highly capitalized listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE-100), is determined to extract bauxite (aluminum ore) from the rich ore found in their sacred mountain. The Vedanta is majority owner of the Indian billionaire Anil Agarwal.

Dongria Kondh and other groups living in the area are opposing the Vedanta and are determined to prevent Niyamgiri is transformed into an industrial wasteland. Kondh other groups are already suffering from a bauxite refinery built and run by the Vedanta on the slopes of the hills.

The facts are reported by Survival International, whose managing director Stephen Corry said: "Just like Na'vi describe Forest Pandora as the 'them all', similarly, for Dongria life and the earth have always been deeply intertwined. Like that of Na'vi, life Dongria Kondh is in danger because their lands are ready to be transformed into a mining site by Vedanta Resources, who will stop at nothing to achieve its objectives. The mine will destroy the forests from which the Dongria Kond and will depend on spare the lives of thousands of other Kondh residing in the area. "

For this reason, after a year of stress, the Anglican Church has announced its decision to disinvest by Vedanta Resources, "The Vedanta did not show the level respect for human rights and local communities that we expected and we fear they will not do so in the future. [...] Keep in Vedanta investment would be inconsistent with the ethical investment policy of the Church. "
