planned obsolescence and polluted

few days ago that a friend sent me this link .

This is an amazing story on the planned obsolescence , also called planned obsolescence, produced by Arte, definitely still fit on certain subjects, which highlights through various examples such as deliberately shortened lifespan of the bulbs.

Here a video in English about what its author, Annie Leonard, called "Designed for the Dump "(designed for the trash) where she dissects with humor and a very high accuracy aberrations, a corollary of the objects of our daily lives.

Repair is outdated

L 'planned obsolescence is a way of reducing the lifespan of a product sold on the market, using techniques advanced more or less raw. This practice can grow in some way, the customer to consume more. The planned obsolescence is neither more nor less than a waste of organized mass.

On this site, a report full

In Ghana

In the documentary, one part is dedicated to Ghana, which little by little, the indifference and silence becomes the dustbin of Western electronic waste, with adverse health and environmental consequences. Here a report made by France24, in 2009. A man fights, he is Mike Anane, Ghanaian journalist. He is interviewed in the 2 previous reports / documentaries. For more information or contact him is by here.

Mike Anane highlights pollution and the cynicism that is to send electronic waste in Ghana, as the country can not afford to treat them and especially do not products!

What an incredible hoax of sending products out of use in a country that do not use them and especially to a policy of repairing objects and especially under the guise of development in Africa ... This is actually starting to make solid waste containers with a few machines that can still be used ..

And if we revert to patterns of consumption more reasoned and reasonable? Because it does not necessarily have to be .... The dependency object is not the panacea to forge an identity and a cure for the consumerist social link ...

And as pointed out by economist Serge Latouche " if happiness depended on the level of consumption, we should be in bliss absolute (...) people are 20 times happier . "and indicate it is time to" develop wealth that are not depleted when consumed, such as friendship, know ... "

And to conclude with a quote from Gandhi:" The world is large enough to satisfy everyone's needs but there will always be too small to satisfy the greed of some .

It would therefore be to rethink the values for a cultural change and logic paradigm to leave the excess. I will come back in a few days with some small examples that we set up the end of the beach for ... sustainable development ...

New winter

Some years, I dreaded this time. The euphoria of the holidays has subsided. Winter is well established, and will continue for many weeks. We wake up with night, and it goes back to bed with her. For grades 2nd quarter is not over it already speaks to the direction in September. Then work the summer holidays still seem far away. It is gray, it's cold, we hide in our scarves ...


The best time to go out!
Defy the winter we would hole up before our bowl of Nesquik, e t warm together!
Or how to find, as always, a good excuse to poach ^ ^


Since the beginning of the year so I have found or brought great opportunities for outings.


Starting with a few new discoveries, WE and Overside clubs and erotic drama Chochotte. 3 great evenings, very different from each other, of course, but beautiful experimental ences, which confirms my taste for novelty, unpublished. For two evenings in a club I was accompanied by a partner met the previous month, very interested in the plurality masculinity in do, so we are left with this in mind, choosing the days suitable in each club. He wanted to see a woman in "big plurality," I think he was not disappointed!


But this attraction to novelty does not erase the pleasure of "secure values". Some lunches by candlelight, or for afternoon overflowing on the Moon at night. Taking advantage of school holidays to unwind with friends unloaded their children, and less pressing professional obligations in this period of leave. A new party with members Forum "Doctissimo. And lunch swinger at one of them to talk freely about the ibertinage, share our experiences and our tastes.


On a different note I arrive near the end of the opening of each "Playground" in Cries and Whispers, the sandstone of the wants and script ideas. May s I still have many things to discover out there and desires to put into practice.


Another radically different register, the valentine rose with single girlfriends (or most) of my dance classes. A Evening delirious, crying with laughter on all subjects, even the ass, mostly ass. And designer suits for cutting the male, "but you realize it took 12 minutes to respond to my sms yesterday, 12 MI-NU-TES!", But what a horrible cad rholalala this guy! for sure he was with another girl! have you done well to turn, he does not respect you! you're nothing to him! is in-to-le-ra-ble ! (Yes the average level of the ballerina's something ... I love these parties! ^ ^)


And then I stopped for several months the "initiations libertinism" too (de) con (-) come (e) s. .. I took a short cut to ensure everyone a nice evening, or at least save me a wasted evening. "Initiate" only people who already test their skills with a plural sexuality similar experience and / or recommended by a friend.
This couple who had already made a trio of home, and who wanted to discover a libertine club. Or that woman who
orgy for years, but only in private parties at the home of the organizer, who also wanted to discover a libertine club.
Furthermore we out together with my friend who had put us in relationship, a good way to get comfortable, and play with several possible configurations.
two excellent outings! Returns and very flattering.


But the big news of recent weeks is opening a sushi restaurant, 5 minutes from my house. AND the book home! This new orgasmic, along with the relocation of my sister, I p them therefore preferred to get my lover "lunch" (and especially the dessert again ^ ^) where my parents work. I always liked to receive, and the art of the table and the reception for dinner parties, there is a lot easier (but not simplistic!), usability No more Aturella. Deeply
the heyday for being taken advantage of the garden, I have no vis-à-vis, no window voyeur neighbor, what fun it without fear!
Unfortunately I dare not (yet?) Invite someone over to my house, since it is mostly with my parents. I stick to the appointment with my favorite lover. The little dance libertine several people it will be for later. But the house does not really lend themselves to this kind of activity, I rather think that we would rent a suitable place to mount this kind of evening.

Bits of Wood Sembene Ousmane in God

Ousmane Sembene

;

The novel was published In 1960, the year of the independence of most of francophone West African States.

It takes place in the colonial era. The 3rd work of Senegalese Sambène based on an old tradition in some African countries where superstition there are not people live, as it does not indicate the exact number of children one has, in order to avoid the evil spirits that shorten their lives.

They are known by the euphemism "the kindling of God," to ward off bad luck. So that women describe themselves together in the novel.
"Do not count us, please," said Seni rising precipitously, we are Bouts de Bois de Dieu, you we'd die. " (P. 301)

Inspired by a true

In this masterpiece African literature, the author draws on a true story: the railroad strike of 20,000 of the Dakar-Niger, held in Dakar and Bamako, in October 1947 to March 1948.

Sembene reveals the reasons that prompted the railroad to stop work for five months. They all spring from their position as African workers. They are disadvantaged compared with their European colleagues who have privileges beyond measure.

Their claims can be summarized in few words: increased salaries, allowances, annual vacation, pension, and right to create their own union.

These claims have been developed in Thies, "the city's rail". The railway line serving the cities Dakar, Thies, Bamako and Rufisque, which become the centers of rebellion.

Dakar is the administrative center. This is where important decisions are made. It is also the seat of colonial administration and trade unions. Pieces of wood supply in the light of God, a civilization in flux, torn between attraction and mistrust vis-à-vis the West.

Dedicated by the author to his "brothers union and all union members and their companions in this vast world " The sticks of God is a hymn to the brotherhood in workers' struggles and also a victory celebration of African solidarity over colonial oppression.

limits to fraternity

However novelist see also knows the flaws of this fraternity and this solidarity and there is no shortage to denounce local complicity that contribute to or maintain oppression.

He forcefully criticizes the transgressors of all kinds, especially certain religious leaders and some traders who play the game with just their personal interests over those of the community.

These sticks of God, we send messages of popular struggle, debate, threats of extremist excesses, always on standby, even in most cases nobles.
Sembene weaves a web whose son deliver this message: "Blessed is he who fights without hate."

Ousmane Sembene (more info here ) died in 2007 has directed a short film Borom Sarret first fiction film in Francophone Africa Sub-Saharan Africa, produced in 1963.


He has directed dozens of films among the best known: "e''Money,''''Xala, Ceddo'''''' Guelwaar ''and''

Thiaroye Camp''was filmed in 1987, which recounts the killing of Senegalese infantrymen in Thiaroye, a suburb of Dakar, on the morning of 1 December 1944 and finally "Moolade'' in 2004.

A game of taro? Fufu

Point card ... with leaves ...

scientific name is Colocasia taro, which is one of the most popular tuber in the humid tropics.

It can reach about one meter tall and produce edible tubers of about thirty centimeters long.

Taro leaves provide a large amount of vitamin A, necessary for good growth, eye health and disease prevention. They also contain vitamin C and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Vitamin C keeps the body tissues strong, helps the body absorb iron. Vitamin B2, or riboflavin also promotes growth and the view. Taro leaves contain interesting finally amounts of calcium and iron.

A "medical food" tradition.

Taro leaves should be picked fresh and farms.

leaves, as the tuber, can cause itching in the mouth if they are not properly prepared, due to the presence of calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate is not pleasant and it causes feelings of irritation and burns, as caused by mini glass particles. Therefore, some simple measures can avoid this and thus access to this tasty leaf.

For example, before cutting it into small pieces, I always soak before, it avoids the burning sensation of the fingers, then I boiled twice, throwing the first cooking water .

for ever and gnocchi fufu

Gastronomy Ghana, or at least the products used or derived therefrom, provides great opportunities for experimentation and transformation.

The encounter .. merger born out new dishes, I mentioned very recently through the site Patti.

Today the menu, a dish of Ghana: fufu.

Star National Food of the country, it varies by region. Over 6 years I have lived in Ghana, I met one Ghanaian who did not eat fufu is tell you the popularity of this dish.

Fufu is elastic and compact at a time. In some areas, it is appreciated very elastic, then it will increase the proportion of plantain. For the compact high, + + + cassava. Not too soft for the plantain, it is recommended to use the yam.

's all about balance.

In neighboring countries, it is called foutou, fu, fufu.

The three basic ingredients for our fufu are plantain, cassava (or cassava) and energy to transform the 2 previous paste.

dish slow sugar excellent for athletes and sports ranges. It is also quite common to meet men "Pileur" fufu bar in the shop (literally, bars where you swallow) that serve this dish, often unique for a very reasonable price.

First, we must peel the cassava (manioc) who have skin that looks like
rather to a bark as it is hard.
For plantains, the operation is easier.

f..

Then take her pestle, and his muscles dexterity because ... watch your fingers!

And pound, pound, pound, ancestral gesture and sound, so familiar from the drumstick, rising prices. Not an event without this dish. It must be said that the ingredients are cheap and grow in every corner of the land and it is invigorating! It takes the body! Like many Ghanaians are engaged in activities that require lots of energy, this dish of slow sugar is particularly suitable.

For financial reasons or by choice, some do with yams, as I pointed out one of my neighbors with a disdainful pouting lips hanging "Is't The Right One", this is not true. To which he added "Is To soft, it is too soft.

To accompany it, a bunch of sauce and soup are available.
With taro leaves (called here Nkutumré, kontomniré or cocoyam and leave again, poetically silver beet), it will be dressed with sauce Palava.

peanut sauce accompanies the soup with groundnuts (MAFF called Francophone countries) with chicken or fish, eggs sometimes.

The palm fruit ornamentation of a pretty red color and then called palm soup (very very long to prepare).

In view of rapid urbanization and its corollary, the rural exodus (about 50% of Ghana's population lives in cities), the food industry has adapted this dish if done in an apartment complex to imagine the coil downstairs neighbors if by chance you put yourself in pounding fufu in your apartment! Fufu dried powder is then offered for sale.

Based Ghanaian friends is a pretty good substitute. Soup seed (or seed sauce in Francophone countries) palm is also prepared in any tin can.

Fast food fufu and traditions ..

So to continue the transformation,

today culinary experimentation,

asked Professor Calculus in the kitchen ...

gnocchi Fufu ... Made in Busua Inn

For the base, make a fufu as described above and then divide it into long roll. Although wet your fingers because it sticks. Cut into small chunks, just like the gnocchi, it must have something in common.

This will be the form cons as cassava and potato flour vs. plantain as much use local products, Ghanaians to work, run the local economy, avoiding too much of this (unfortunately) famous carbon and trace discover the Ghanaian cuisine.

A little flour, fry in a skillet with butter (some of my roots are Norman) and serve with ... what you want.

nkutumré or taro leaves (also called cocoyam leave) cut

For my part, I made a tomato sauce Fresh leaves and tarot cards that I flavored with oregano and thyme (I give the recipe on request).
In this sauce, I cooked chicken, it could be fish.

Today I would like to share a site that sent me a (good) friend. This site Patti , a young woman raised in Ghana and lives in England for years.

One of his passions is the kitchen as a meeting, a mixture of influences, inspirations and ingredients.

Like what stirred the debate on multiculturalism in France - which leads me to coexistence as a mosaic - which I prefer the concept of interculturalism (see here a debate on the subject) whose revenues are Patti so alive and inspiring examples, can move both side of the table and stomach and then be incorporated ... as stated so clearly the title of his site "mix of culture and flavors, "a mix of culture and taste ...


ps: a small point, typing this post, the word multiculturalism is recognized by the program. interculturalism For it tells me an error .... this is normal, doctor?

open: Ketakor side stroll.

Ketakor Is A Fishermen Village On The tiny western coast of Ghana. It Seems Almost Forgotten By The rst of the World. To get there, you Have to Take the track to Cape3points for 25 miles and turn left Into the lane, after Ezile Bay Village .
The alternative is to park his car at Ezile Bay and take the beautiful coastal path overlooking the sea, in the shade of tall trees.

The inhabitants of this village are charming and always with warm hospitality, full of bright smiles with a relaxed relationship with time.
However, like many villages in the western region, life is rough. Access to water (forget flush toilet) is hard and electricity is still a promise, repeated many times.

Soon, we will work on projects to improve the life of this village. We'll keep you posted.

and Ketakor residents protect and nourish them,
it is possible to see them at dawn or evening at dusk.
The mona monkey has a very high social cohesion and is frequently
associated with other monkeys.

They live in groups of about 12 individuits. They are mostly active in morning and afternoon (or evening).

Monkeys mona like other monkeys, generally avoid serious conflict. Do you know why monkeys mones are unique from other apes? Because of their color that makes them significant distance.

We regularly have guests who visit the residents of Ketakor. We advise them to go first, say hello to the chief and leave 2 or 3 cedis to assist and encourage local initiatives to protect the environment and animals.





Ketakor away from the fury of the world offers the opportunity for quiet time and genuine encounters.
