Topic Page: Seine River (France)
River, N France; rises in Côte-d'Or dept., E France; flows NW through Paris and on into the English Channel near Le Havre; 482 mi. (776 km.) long; navigable for ab. 350 mi. (565 km.); spanned at its mouth by Pont de Normandie Bridge, longest cable-stayed bridge in world (main span 2808 ft. or 856 m.; completed 1994), connecting Le Havre and Honfleur.
French river rising on the Langres plateau in the département of Côte d'Or, 30 km/19 mi northwest of Dijon, and flowing 774 km/472 mi northwest through Paris and Rouen to join the English Channel at Le Havre. It is the third-longest, but economically the most important, river in the country.
Course After rising it flows through Champagne, past Troyes, and turns west and then south, past Nogent-sur-Seine, the Forest of Fontainebleau, and Melun, before arriving at Paris. It describes several large loops while flowing through the Ile-de-France, and continues, still in a generally northwesterly direction, past Elbeuf and Rouen, through Normandy to its estuary south of Cap de la Hève. Throughout the lower half of its course the river meanders considerably.
River use The Seine has numerous tributaries, which flow to it from the raised edges of the vast Paris basin. Among them are the Yonne, Aube, Marne, and Oise. Together the Seine and its tributaries carry more than half of the inland water traffic of France. The Seine rivers and canals are also linked with the Meuse, Escaut (Schelde), and Somme, with the waterways of Belgium, with the Sâone (and hence with the Rhône and the Mediterranean), with the Loire, and with the Rhine and the German waterways. Sea-going vessels use the Seine as far as Rouen, and barges travel as far as St-Mesnin (and then by canal to Bar); small sea-going vessels can travel as far as Paris. The cities of Paris, Rouen, and Le Havre owe much of their economic growth and prosperity to the Seine which carries the bulk of France's commercial water-way traffic. The lower reaches of the river require frequent dredging, and there is a strong bore, or tidal wave. The banks are dyked as far as Rouen.

five Straightforward Techniques to Conserve Funds When Preparing Your Outside Wedding
With the summer wedding season fast approaching and many couples searching for methods to reduce back on the value of their nuptials, outdoor weddings are enjoying resurgence in recognition. Not only does an outside occasion significantly decrease the volume invested on church and reception hall rental, but it also opens up a multitude of other expense cutting opportunities. With that in mind, we've compiled a record of 5 straightforward methods to conserve money when organizing your outdoor wedding.
1. Choose a month other than June. June is by far the most popular month for weddings, and with great cause the weather is usually beautiful. But June isn't the only calendar month with nice weather, and by deciding on an earlier spring date or a fall date, you can conserve a whole lot of income with various vendors. Many photographers, caterers, and rental suppliers will charge a premium for weddings for the duration of the active month of June, basically since demand is so high. If the date will function for you and your fiance, consider an April or October wedding ceremony instead.
2. Contemplate a morning wedding ceremony. Most weddings are held in the afternoon or evening, but there is no purpose you can not have a wedding in the morning. Morning weddings are frequently a fantastic way to reduce back on bills, for numerous motives. First, you can serve breakfast alternatively of dinner. This eliminates the need to have to be concerned about expensive appetizers and alcoholic drinks. Generally speaking, breakfast meals are significantly less high-priced anyway. Furthermore, you might be able to negotiate some reductions with your services companies, considering that morning weddings are not that common, and you may possibly also have an simpler time reserving the companies you want.
3. Pick a lower price outside venue like a friend or loved ones member's backyard. Whilst it is correct that outdoor weddings are generally less high-priced than indoor occasions, some outdoor venues can be pricey to rent. For illustration, if you had been hoping for a really well-liked state park with a scenic overlook, don't expect it to come low-cost. By holding your occasion in a smaller sized or much less formal outside room, not only can you conserve a great deal of money on the place, but it can also afford you much more versatility with decorating.
4. Plant some flowers! Assuming you have selected to hold the wedding in a area exactly where you have some flexibility and management, contemplate planting some flowers a few months before the event to minimize back on the florist's expense. Planting flowers is also a fantastic way to ensure that you are going to have specifically the assortment of colours and textures you want when your big day arrives.
five. Get decorations that can be employed in your new home after the wedding is in excess of. Outside weddings are typically decorated with things that can be reused later in the couple's new yard. For illustration, think about a massive wedding arbor or pergola as the backdrop for your photographs or the focal level exactly where you'll recite your vows. Garden trellises can also make a great backdrop, as can big urns of flowers or planter boxes. If you have the potential to set these things in location a month or two in advance, go ahead and do so and plant some climbing flowers and vines like morning glory or nasturtium that will grow up the structures before your event. When the wedding ceremony is over, the things can be employed to landscape your new home's yard, and more than the years, they will hold a very unique sentimental worth to you and your partner.
These are just a few of many methods you can save income on outside wedding preparing. With a small creativity and considering outside the box, you can strategy a gorgeous and memorable wedding with out breaking the financial institution.

From the White Guide Nordic 2018:
Meat District
- Address: Gabriel Hagerts gränd, 06100 Porvoo
- Phone: +358 (0)20 7705390
- Web: meatdistrict.fi
- Seats: 60
- Opening Hours: Mon–Fri 5–11 PM, Sat 2–11 PM
Fleshy fare
Let's make it clear right away: this is a place for meat lovers. After the walk over the cobblestone streets of Old Porvoo you step through the old wooden door on the corner of a building from the last century. Almost immediately you encounter the fridge with its large glass doors, behind which pieces of meat hang in a row. Some realise right away that they are in the wrong place, but they actually have vegetarian options here. If you sit in the room by the fridge, you also get to enjoy the open kitchen with its flaming grill and savvy cooks. And you won't be the only one. The locals, young and old alike, appreciate the progressive meat theme and the quality here is very high. Many of the cuts have been hanging for six weeks, with guaranteed tenderness as a result. But we start out gently with pieces of salami, chorizo and pata negra. The latter is very good, with a pronounced nutty flavour. But it is the beef tartare that really make us happy. The cow, of the Charolais breed, has grazed just twelve kilometres from the restaurant. Mini burgers are cooked to medium and topped with cheddar cheese. We wash all this down with a light pinot noir from Hungary. The main attraction on the smaller "Half In" menu (as opposed to the "All in" alternative) turns out to be sirloin, lightly grilled medium rare over an open fire. The standout among the condiments is the red wine sauce with marrow. Amazing! Naturally we sit on cowhide chairs. They're not very comfortable but certainly appropriate at this establishment. The wine list is packed with good bottles from the Old World...

After the hostel yesterday afternoon, we went back to that Tibetan market. It really is the best place in Xining (西宁) to hangout - even if you're not buying anything. I got a necklace, and helped the boys pick out jewlery. Then we had early dinner at a Muslim restaurant and hit up the bus station.
I asked about 5 people how long they thought our ride would be from Xining to the hot springs in Wenquan (温泉). Responses literally ranged from 3 hours to 15 hours. After some initial excitement (on my part) about a night bus, we ended up boarding a regular bus (bummer). Turns out the ride was actually 7 incredibly uneventful hours. I bet the scenery out the window would have been beyond beautiful, but it was dark the hole ride. We watched some horrible Chinese amateur plays for teh first few hours, and then this crazy movie called Chaos. Then I pretty much slept. The bus did have an hour break fro dinner around 9, although no one told the foreigners what was going on so we wasted a good deal of the break wondering where everyone disappeared to and worrying about leaving the bus.
Anyways, around 1:30 AM we pulled into Wenquan. Thank God there was one restaurant still open so we could ask for help finding a place to stay. Turns out there is a truck stop in town were we were able to stay for 25元 per night. 3 beds per room with 2 comforters and heated blankets. Absolutely necessary - it's freezing here! It's been snowing since we arrived, and all is mud and iciness/sleety rain.
Woke up this morning and went to the restaurant that saved us for breakfast. Delicious friend rice, and really really nice guy running it. Asked him where the hot springs were. Should have been more suspect when he told us the springs were free.
We followed his directions 200 meters past the last house in town (the town is approximately 400 meters long) and came upon a giant steaming pile of trash. We though, "oh, maybe the springs are BEHIND this trash pile!" Yet, behind that is just more steaming trash. Not a Turkish bath in sight. Turns out the residents here dump their trash in the hot springs, creating a primordial soup of interesting plastic bits. The water was warm, probably 80 degrees, but a bit stagnant with algae and trash. So, we decided to follow the stream a bit further down to where there was a rock structure that we were hoping might be some sort of outdoor bath.
It was, but for sheep. Of course you need to wash your sheep every day! We came upon a corral of sheep that a few men were desperately trying to herd into a hot spring bath to be bathed - I guess. We joined in the pushing and stick beating until all the sheep were through. Then we decided to wander down river a bit.
We hiked for a ways up into snowy mountains, and then Anna and I turned back while the boys continued their hike. On the way back we figured we'd check out the source of the hot spring and came upon a pool where a couple of little boys were having a bath. Their older brothers were sitting on cinderblocks with their feet dangling in. Anna and I followed suit and pulled up some cinderblocks and sat for a while. The water felt really nice at the time, although my feet haven't really warmed up since that hike.
Then we walked back to town and wandered into what looked like a pretty happening restaurant. It was pretty happening. We asked if we could sit and drink tea with them and pulled up a seat by the stove. Thus part of Qinghai it seems people are just really into chilling out, and they just sit around doing this for hours. So we sat and chatted with them - all Tibetan men, mid 30s, for hours until the boys came back. They especially enjoyed checking out the photos of Sudbury I have on my itouch, and were super excited to see my photo of the Dalai Lama (so glad I downloaded it for this trip, now).
Boys finally came back around 4, too late for an afternoon excursion which was disappointing. We went back to the room and rested/chatted over some Grape Wall wine (yes, it tasted like it sounds), and then went to dinner. Had some of the most amazing soup ever and saw lots of the friends Anna and I made this afternoon (like I said, Wenquan is small).

Catherine Zeta Jones' career was only beginning to take off when she starred as part of Steven Soderberg's stunning ensemble film about America's 'War on Drugs.' She stars as a pregnant, wealthy housewife, whose husband is arrested in front of her and her child. Initially, she cannot comprehend the charges until she learns her husband is a drug kingpin and she is also a source of interest with the DEA. Considering she wants to revert back to the life she once had, this challenges her morality with the realization that anything she does to protect her family is actually aiding an illegal drug operation. Once she makes a decision, she becomes ruthless in a determination to save her and her family's future.
Jones' performance was particularly stunning for the level of gritty realism she brought to the role. She perfectly captured the moral obstacle of whether to align herself with the authorities, who she is aware will strip her of the life she once cherished, or abandon her morality to support her husband to retain the lifestyle she has. Using this arc for her character, Catherine Zeta Jones provides one of the most profound character metamorphoses on film. Jones further establishes through her character's dilemma that her character truly believes her actions are in an effort to protect her family, opposed to serving her own interests. This allows for the viewer to speculate and debate as to whether she is desperate or a sociopath. Nonetheless, Jones arguably offers one of the most compelling characters within the drama genre of film.
Catherine Zeta Jones was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance, leading many to believe she would be nominated in the supporting actress category. Unfortunately, it would take another two years when Jones starred in Chicago to be recognized by the Academy and finally win the Oscar.

Now, none of us in the kidlitosphere are here to make money. But we do get review copies from publishers and authors--some of us more than others. We do pursue relationships with publishers and authors--again, some of us more than others. Certain books have been reviewed all over the kidlitosphere thanks mostly to incredibly energetic publicity.
Of course, we can and do post negative reviews. But as author Shannon Hale recently pointed out, even negative reviews are better than nothing, in terms of publicity.
There's a grey area there, one that we should probably try to define before somebody starts to define it for us. What are your thoughts?

There are a lot of intriguing if not outright bizarre fan theories involving movies, shows, books, and so forth floating around on the Internet. Browse the web long enough and you may happen to stumble across a few. There are theories that The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is set in Heaven, that Sid from the first Toy Story film became a garbage man to save toys by the time of the events in Toy Story 3, and that Breaking Bad is the sequel to Malcolm in the Middle. All it takes is for someone to notice one little detail or a series of details, and then a theory is spawned.
You probably watched a lot of cartoons growing up, cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory, Rugrats, Codename: Kids Next Door, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Fairly OddParents, and more. You grew to love these shows and most likely developed a nostalgic attachment to them whenever you think of them.
But have you considered that there could be more to them that you never noticed before? There is according to some fans, who have developed theories of their own about the true workings of the shows they grew up watching. And some of those theories are so crazy they might actually be true.
If you're curious (and ready to possibly have your childhood ruined), then check out this list of 15 crazy fan theories about kids' cartoons that will change how you see them.
15 Arnold's Grandparents Are Really His Parents And He Has A Disease
In the show Hey Arnold! the titular character is an orphan who lives in a boarding house run by his grandparents. However, there are some who believe that Arnold's grandparents are really his parents. And that Arnold's secret parentage relates to why his head is shaped like a football. The theory goes that due to major complications as a result of Arnold's mother having a pregnancy so late in life, Arnold was born with hydrocephalus, a condition in which an abnormal amount of fluid builds up in the brain, enlarging the skill. Which would make it a possible reason for why Arnold's head is shaped the way it is. But then why doesn't Arnold exhibit other symptoms of hydrocephalus?
14 The Magic School Bus Kids Grew Up To Be Planeteers
If you compare pictures of The Magic School Bus kids next to pictures of the Planeteers from Captain Planet, it's easy to see the visual similarities between the characters. That part of the theory isn't that crazy; what's crazy is how The Magic School Bus kids transformed into protectors of Earth. The theory holds that Mrs. Frizzle, who is actually Gaia, kidnapped a bunch of children and took them away to an island where she brainwashed them into thinking they were in school and she was their teacher. She had their memories erased and implanted them with the desire to help save the earth, so she could use them as pawns for her goal when they got older. The brainwashing wasn't successful for all of the kids in the case of the other Magic School Bus kids who didn't become Planeteers (Ralphie, Phoebe, etc). Anyways, after the kids had matured to her liking, Mrs. Frizzle/Gaia erased their memories once again and placed them into a sleeper cell until she awakened them years later and gave them power rings before sending them on environmental missions around the world.
13 Scooby-Doo Was Part Of A Soviet Government Experiment
Mystery, Inc. solved a lot of mysteries during their time together. But one mystery that went unexplained was why Scooby-Doo could talk and understand human speech. One Redditor has a theory for that. Apparently, Scooby-Doo was a part of a Soviet experiment during the Cold War and was being prepared to be sent off into space. During the 50s, dogs were used instead of humans for testing so human lives could be spared. The Redditor goes on to say that the scientists working on the experiment were trying to create a highly intelligent dog so he could relay back to them what he saw in space. However, a pitying researcher rescued Scooby-Doo and fled with him to the U.S. Maybe that's why the government kept thwarting the gang's plans: because they had an important commodity in their possession that knew confidential information.
12 Max And Ruby Are Dead
The afterlife sure looks like the real world, doesn't it? According to some Redditors, Max and Ruby takes place in the afterlife because the brother-sister pair is, well, dead. Believe it or not, some pregnant female rabbits will reabsorb their unborn litter, since rabbits have the ability to reabsorb soft fetal tissue. The theory is that Max and Ruby were two kits who died in the womb, which is why their parents never make appearances in the show: because they're still alive. The theory would also explain why Max and Ruby can see their grandmother; it's because she's dead and they joined her in the hereafter.
11 Cosmo And Wanda Are Allegories For Antidepressants
The Fairly OddParents is a pretty light and comedic show about a ten-year-old boy named Timmy and his two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, who grant him wishes to solve his problems. But one theorist doesn't buy into the total lightheartedness of the series. According to them, Timmy is actually depressed, and Cosmo and Wanda act as metaphors for antidepressants, Zoloft and Prozac respectively. When Timmy finds himself battling with problems in his life, such as his clueless parents, his abusive babysitter Vicky, and his dreadful teacher Mr. Crocker, his fairy godparents "materialize" and seek to aid him with his problems. They don't make his problems disappear necessarily, but they do try and help him through them.
10 Dora the Explorer Is A Training Program Inside The Portal Universe
It's clearly obvious that the format of Dora the Explorer is meant to represent a computer game. Dora talks directly to the audience by asking them various questions and waiting for them to choose an answer as if they were holding a computer mouse. Why exactly did the creators decide to do the show like this? Well, as stated by one Redditor, it's because Dora the Explorer is actually a training program inside the puzzle-platform video game series Portal. She is designed to teach test subjects that giving up is not an option and that some problems require unconventional solutions. Boots is a personification of the shock-absorbing boots subjects wear to get through tests, like many other characters. Swiper was created as an anti-theft feature to teach subjects about theft activity. The goal of Aperture Science, the company where the Portal games take place in, is to instruct employees on how to compete in the global economy. What better way than creating a program featuring a Hispanic girl and her monkey best friend who embark on quests while teaching the audience how to speak Spanish?
9 The Care Bears Is Voodoo In Disguise
The Care Bears is actually about Voodoo? It is according to one blogger. The name Care Bears is supposedly a play on Carefours, a district of Port au Prince which serves as the hub of the Voodoo world. The cloud city of Care-a-lot is supposedly the holy city of Lwa, or Loa, mysterious spirits of Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo. The Care Bears tell viewers to "share until you care", just like how the Lwa want to share the bodies of their worshippers, and the Care Bears want to be the friends of children, just like how the Lwa are described by their followers as "friendly spirits" or simply "friends." The blogger also points out how the insignias on the stomachs of the titular bears match up pretty closely with the symbols of the Voodoo gods, implying that the Care Bears are actually Voodoo gods in disguise as cute and fluffy bears.
8 The Rugrats Are Just A Figment Of Angelica's Imagination
Angelica largely serves as the main antagonist to the Rugrats crew, acting like a spoiled, manipulative brat who bullies the babies into giving into her demands. While she is perceived as their archenemy, she could very well be the victim of the show. A theory from Creepypasta claims that the Rugrats were all made up by Angelica to deal with traumatic experiences earlier in her life. Supposedly, Tommy, Angelica's cousin, was a stillborn baby, Chuckie died at birth along with his mother, and Phil and Lil are Angelica's odd imaginary reaction to the news of their mother having a stillborn baby. And during the Rugrats spin-off show All Grown Up, Angelica became hooked on drugs early into her teenage years and her vivid hallucinations returned.
7 Spongebob And The Rest Of The Residents Of Bikini Bottom Are Mutants
Spongebob Squarepants is a show about a talking sea sponge who lives in a pineapple on the ocean floor. His best friend is a sea star, his neighbor is a squid, and he works at the Krusty Krab restaurant which is owned by a crab. An entertaining show, but it can be pretty weird when you think about it. According to a theory posted on Reddit, the highly popular Nickelodeon cartoon is actually about nuclear testing. The reason why Spongebob and company look and behave the way they do is because they were exposed to radiation from atomic bombs that detonated near Bikini Bottom. You may think this theory is a bit of a stretch, but it's actually not that far-off. Bikini Bottom was officially confirmed to be located underneath Bikini Atoll, an atoll in the Marshall islands which served as a nuclear testing site between 1946-1958. According to theory, the explosions not only turned regular sea creatures into sentient freaks as seen in the show, but it also changed the landscape of the area, causing huge pineapples to grow out of the ground. And probably led to other genetic abnormalities—which would explain greatly why Mr. Krabs' daughter is a whale when he's a crab.
6 Doug Funnie Is Delusional
The residents of Bluffington all feature a variety of skin tones. Some are blue, some are green, some are purple, and so and so on. But Doug is clearly white, the only person in town who doesn't have an odd skin complexion. Many fans have debated this issue for years, trying to figure out why everyone in town is strangely-colored except for Doug. One theory is that Doug is delusional, and he sees different races as funny colors. Supposedly, we are seeing the world through Doug's eyes. As he describes people in his journal, he designates them colors as he remembers them. Doug is color blind when it comes to race and he associates them with colors for whatever crazy reason his eccentric mind comes up with. The bottom line is that Doug isn't your "average protagonist"; he has some serious underlying issues.
5 Ed, Edd And Eddy Are Dead
Actually, this theory doesn't just suggest that the titular characters are dead; it suggests that all of the children on the show are dead. The reason why everyone has an abnormal skin tone? They're dead. The reason why they have weird-colored tongues? They're dead. The children are all deceased and living in purgatory. There are no adults in the show; they're only mentioned. The theory also attempts to explain why the setting of the show is so difficult to pin down. One episode shows the kids using a typewriter when a computer was seen in another episode, and the kids seem to know what a cassette tape is, unlike many teens of the 2000s. It's because each one of the kids comes from a different era in history. The theory goes on to say that the Kanker sisters, who are constantly seen harassing the children, are demons who were placed in purgatory just to torment the kids.
4 Charlie Brown Is Dying Of Cancer
Ok, so Charlie Brown was never actually a television series. It produced countless television specials, but never a series. But this theory is so intriguing I added it to the list anyways. Ever wonder why Charlie Brown was bald? Well, as said by one theorist, it's because he was diagnosed with cancer and subsequently lost all of his hair. But he wasn't just diagnosed with cancer; he's dying from it. The theorist adds that Charlie's life is an unmitigated disaster and he's subconsciously channeling his grief into his dreams, which is why he complains so much. The theorist continues by claiming Charlie is really lying in a hospital bed and he is just grateful for the interactions he has with the imaginary kids in his head, even though they don't always treat him that well.
3 The Flintstones Live In A Post-Apocalyptic World
The Flintstones focuses in on the lives of a particular group of people living during the Stone Age era. Or are they living in the Stone Age era? According to one theory, the Flintstones lived in a world where technology like cars, telephones, and record players once existed, but after a destructive nuclear explosion changed the landscape of the world, the survivors were forced to rebuild with stone age objects. Those who were rich enough to escape this fate left Earth to live high-tech lives in space, like the Jetsons. After all, The Flintstones and The Jetsons, two Hanna-Barbara cartoons, aired at the same time. However, the theory fails to explain where Dino came from, or why everything is named after rocks and minerals.
2 Ash Is In A Coma
Maybe that's the reason why Ash doesn't really seem to age; he's stuck in a coma. A fan theory from Creepypasta says that Ash was struck by lightning early into the show and fell into a coma. The various characters in the show represent different parts of his consciousness or illnesses that his body is trying to fight against. If Ash were to discover he was in a coma, he would experience brain damage. However, he could survive this and escape his coma if he could succeed in "defeating" all the obstacles he encounters. This theory means the entire Pokemon show has taken place inside his head. Perhaps that's why the world Ash lives in is so incredibly crazy at times.
1 Gargamel Eats The Smurfs Because They Are An Addictive Hallucinogen
The main antagonist of The Smurfs in all incarnations, Gargamel's greatest goal in life is to capture the tiny blue creatures for various reasons. His motives differ depending on the episode or the media he appears in. Sometimes he wants to turn them into gold, sometimes he wants to eat them, and sometimes he wants to destroy them. But the show clearly states that he desires to do all three, made evident by a line in a song he sings that goes: "Then I'll toast a few and roast a few and use the rest for gold." Why Gargamel would want to eat Smurfs is anyone's guess. But one theorist suggests that Gargamel eats the Smurfs because their flesh is an addictive hallucinogen. The Smurfs eat the insides of mushrooms so they can take up residence inside the hollowed-out mushrooms. Contained in mushrooms is a chemical compound known as psilocybin, which is known to cause hallucinations. Gargamel is well-aware of this fact and wants to eat the Smurfs which are pure, concentrated psilocybin. Kinda dark if you think about it.

By Charles Kumolu
Mummy, Festus is likely to be among them,'' Promise Okorodion casually told her mother upon learning about the migrant shipwreck in the coast of Italy.
Seeing that her statement prompted a worried change on her mother's countenance, Promise added: '' Mummy, you are wasting your time over that senseless boy. It would even be good if he is one of them; that should at least be the reward for his stubbornness.''
''How dare you talk about your cousin in that manner. He is still one of us in spite of the choices he is making,'' Mrs. Grace Okorodion responded.
Irked by her mother's obvious sympathy for Festus whose whereabouts has been unknown since January 2015, Promise said: ''I don't really wish him dead, but I want him to have a bitter experience that will jolt him back to his senses.''
Not bothered by her daughter's indifference to what had become of Festus, she added thus: ''We will keep praying for his safety anywhere he is, even though I am not supportive of the path Festus has chosen.''
Going by his surname, Okorodion, one would think that 22-year-old Festus hails from Edo State, but his paternal state of origin remains unknown. Reason: His mother, who is an indigene of Uromi in Edo State had him before wedlock as a teenager.
After his birth Festus was left under the care of his maternal grandfather in Kaduna who cared less about him given the fact that he was a product of an illicit relationship. Since the child's mother was also indifferent to his upkeep, Festus was already an Alajamri (street urchin) in Kaduna at age 11.
Absence of enthusiasm
It was in this state that a relative who came visiting from Edo State in 2002 saw Festus and decided to take him back to his maternal home in one of the prominent communities in Esan North East Local Government Area of the state.
Upon arrival little Festus was received into Mrs. Okorodion's family as their son. He was promptly enrolled into a primary school which he never attended while in Kaduna. Since he was wholly accepted by his maternal relatives, Festus attended secondary school like any of the Okoriodion lads. Having completed his secondary education, efforts were made to secure admission for him at Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma or Federal Polytechnic Auchi; but
Festus was less interested about furthering his studies.
Due to this obvious lack of enthusiasm for further studies, Mrs. Okorodion suggested he learned a trade or vocational skills. None of these appealed to Festus. All that mattered to him was to travel to Europe by road.
Such choice did not sound surprising to the Okorodions given that travelling abroad is a common aspiration in their locality. However, the fact that other young persons in that household were in tertiary institutions made Festus' choice worrisome to the Okorodions.
Unknown to them, Festus had concluded plans to escape from home in order to realise his ambition. So while Mrs. Okorodion was away to Lagos for the Christmas holidays, Festus left home on January 15, 2015 without telling anyone. Till this moment, his whereabouts remain unknown. Inquiries from his friends, suggested that he may have travelled to Europe en route Libya.
Police station: Worried by the development, Mrs. Okorodion reported Festus disappearance to the Police. At the station, she noted that the Police also inferred that Festus may have travelled out in line with the craze in that part of Nigeria.
Notwithstanding, an agitated Mrs. Okorodion in a telephone conversation with Vanguard Features,VF, expressed the fear that she could be held responsible should anything happen to Festus.
''I am bothered because I know that my husband's family is likely to accuse me of sending the boy away. He left my restaurant with a huge amount of money and no one saw him again since that day. Please, I am hoping that you will inform us if he is listed as one of the Nigerians affected in the current migration crisis in Italy,'' she said.
Perilous journey to foreign countries
His case is not in isolation. Festus is one of the growing number of youths who daily embark on the perilous journey to foreign countries by road, especially from that part of the country.
Findings show that many youths in Edo and Delta states have become enamoured of travelling to Europe by road in search of the better life.
Though this has been the case for a long time, it has now become a fad to the extent that such movement is referred to as ''See Morocco, See Spain'' in the local parlance.
Some of the youths are jobless while others, like Festus, are driven by personal desire to make quick money given the perception among them that going to Europe is the quickest way to make money.
The news that some Nigerians were among the 12 migrants thrown overboard by Muslim co-travellers in the Mediterranean while sailing to Italy, attests to the alarming trend.
The International Organisation for Migration ,IOM, in a piece titled: Migrant Arrivals by Sea in Italy Top 170,000 in 2014 observed that Nigeria accounted for 9,000 migrants out of the 170,100 that arrived Italy by sea in 2014.
While most migrants from troubled spots in Africa make the dangerous sea trips as a result of crises in their countries, those from Nigeria often point at poverty which VF found not to be as pervasive as they claim.
It is believed that more than 70 percent of Nigerians live below the national poverty line.
But among countries in sub-Saharan Africa like Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, Gambia and Ghana where some of migrants hail from, Nigeria boasts of the highest GDP, which is $2,700.
Official figures
Official figures for 2013 released by the National Bureau of Statistics, put the country's GDP at $503bn (£307bn). The figure nearly doubled previous estimates and well ahead of South Africa at around $350bn.
Since this implies that the country is the largest economy in Africa following booming sectors like telecoms, banking and the Nollywood film industry, the frightening number of people embarking on the dangerous journey's to Europe, comes as a sharp contrast.
What is the attraction?
Faced with this situation, many are eager to know what could possibly be the attraction in these trips that are often made aboard poorly equipped vessels.
Mr. Elvis Osemokha, founder of Save Our Heritage Foundation, a Benin based non-governmental organisation that campaigns against human trafficking and dangerous migration to Europe, told VF, that poverty remains the remote cause. However, he argued that the level of poverty in the country does not call for such risky journeys to Europe.
Narrating the experience he has had with returnees and intending migrants, he explained thus: ''Migrants are of various categories. We are dealing with economic migrants in this circumstance. We all know that the living conditions in Nigeria are harsh. No one should deny the fact that the poverty rate in Nigeria is not alarming. Our people are poor and there are very poor people.''
Continuing, he said: ''In the course of my job, I found out that some who embarked on such journeys lived below poverty line. But the condition in Nigeria has not got to the level that will make our citizens embark on such trips of no return. So, for me the attraction is the hunger for better life. And I have seen that among some returnees that we have rehabilitated. Some told me that if conditions had been good in Nigeria, the choice of going to Europe by sea would not have been made.''
Premium on wealth acquisition
But a lecturer in the Department of Sociology in one of the private universities in the South-South, Dr. Jerome Onyenebadi, has a contrary or slightly different perception of what the attraction could be.
Onyenebadi sees the problem as a social crisis that comes at every stage of civilisation, noting that the world had often grappled with the challenges posed by migration.
''Things should be viewed with empirical lens. Without that understanding the underlying causes of a problem becomes difficult. There has never been a time when migration was not an issue because the society has perpetually been at war with itself. That is why I disagree that poverty is strictly responsible,'' he said, adding thus: ''My argument should not be construed to mean that living conditions in Nigeria are favourable. Rather these youths are pushed into embarking on such trips by so many factors prevalent in our society.''
Edo, Delta and South Eastern states
Onyenebadi said the reasons cut across social, economic, religious and cultural needs.
''We live in a society that places high premium on wealth acquisition. The churches preach materialism instead of salvation; you are only recognised in your community when you are wealthy, not minding the source of your wealth, while the entire societal fabric is materialist. In most cases, parents encourage their children to embark on such voyages even when they are aware of the risk. In this kind of society everyone wants to make money; that is why we are here today.''
He added thus: '' In 2014 the United Nations Development Programme said the richest tenth of Nigeria's population have an income 25 times more than the poorest tenth. That tells you the level of social inequality in this country. Vulnerable citizens are bound to make unthinkable choices under this circumstances.''
Also, peer influence, get-rich- quick syndrome and acute unemployment rate were further discovered as other reasons for such trips which have become common among indigenes of Edo, Delta and most South Eastern states
For instance, the propensity of travelling to Europe by any means is usually found in three out of every five unemployed youths from the aforementioned areas. Even some who are employed but not gainfully so also embark on this search for the proverbial golden fleece, VF gathered.
Now that these fatal journeys have assumed an epic proportion it is the wish of many that the Federal Government goes beyond adhoc responses and address the fundamental issues behind it.
''We expect the Federal Government to provide the social services that will create a better life for every Nigerian. That will help reduce the rate drastically among our people. We are also not relenting in our campaigns against fatal journeys, '' Osemokha told VF.
During a recent trip to Benin, VF came across car stickers with the warning message: ''Travelling to Europe by Road is Dangerous, Don't Dare It.'' The awareness campaign was found to be courtesy of NGOs like Osemokhas'.
On his part, Onyenebadi wants the government to in addition to performing its primary function as enshrined in section 14(2b) of the 1979 constitution, enter into workable bilateral agreements with transit countries so as to discourage the trend.
''In my humble submission, if our government performs the primary function of government as outlined in the Constitution which is ensuring security and welfare of the citizens, people will think less about going to Europe or anywhere. We have just elected General Muhammadu Buhari as president. To whom much is given, much is also expected in return. So, it is expected of him to make our living condition better than it is now,'' he added.
However, checks showed that government had not really folded its arms and watched the issues snowball into a crisis. For instance, government had, a few years ago, launched several initiatives with some countries in Africa to discourage this deadly passage to Europe. One of such countries, it was gathered, was Morocco which used to be the exit route to Spain before migrants discovered the Libyan route.
Blessing Mberu and Roland Pongou in their 2010 piece, Nigeria: Multiple Forms of Mobility in Africa's Demographic Giant, said government was also working working with IOM on the matter.
''The government is currently working with the International Organisation on Migration, IOM, to facilitate the voluntary return and reintegration of Nigerian migrants living illegally in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Ireland, the Netherlands and Italy. Government has also launched campaigns on the dangers of illegal migration and has supported linking the IOM programme to its poverty-eradication strategies,'' the duo stated.
On the global scale, the IOM had in its response to the latest migration crisis called the European Union to go beyond what it described as minimalist approach in the 10-Point Plan on Migration, announced a fortnight ago, which focuses primarily on stemming the arrival of migrants and refugees on its shores.
''As a paramount principle, the safety, protection needs, and human rights of all migrants and refugees should be at the forefront of the EU response. EU leaders must look beyond the present situation and work closely with transit and origin countries both to alleviate the immediate plight of migrants and refugees and address in a more comprehensive way the many factors that drive them to resort to such desperate journeys by sea. Enforcement alone will not solve the issue of irregular migration, but could increase the risks and abuse faced by migrants and refugees,'' the IOM said in a statement posted on it website on April 24, 2015.

Competition, Coordination and Diversity
From the Firm to Economic Integration
Pascal Salin
Chapter 16: The gap between Austrian economics and the mainstream
Pascal Salin
There is a strange problem in economics that deserves to be solved or at least to be addressed: the whole of modern economics lies on a common and single foundation, namely the subjective theory of value. However, from this same foundation, several diverging – or even opposite – theories have developed. Now, any scientific approach consists of starting from an assumption (or set of assumptions) and deducting consequences through a logical process of reasoning. If the reasoning is correct – which implies that no additional and more or less specific assumption is added surreptitiously – one might always obtain exactly the same conclusions. In physics, for instance, different theories stem from different assumptions. As an example, one may assume that the sun revolves around the earth or vice versa. But whenever an assumption has been generally adopted, the same consequences are deducted by anyone. Scientific evolution consists of drawing still unknown consequences from the initial set of assumptions or performing a scientific revolution by changing the initial assumptions.

Q: West Midlands Police confirmed that CCTV journalist Kong Linlin has been charged with common assault. What is your comment?
A: At a fringe event organized by Human Rights Committee of the UK Conservative Party in Birmingham not long ago, Chinese journalist Kong Linlin encountered obstruction and was manhandled by the organizer of the event when she was expressing her opinion, and detained by the police later on. After investigation, the UK police released Kong Linlin with no charges. The Chinese side has expressed grave concern to the UK side over the injustice done to the Chinese journalist.
Recently the UK police overturned its original decision and brought charges against Kong Linlin. This is both shocking and confusing. The British judicial authorities are urged to handle this case fairly and do justice to the journalist. We urge the UK side to take effective measures to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese journalists in the UK to their job.

New York Medicaid beneficiaries might be aware of the 21st Century Cures Act (CCA), which came into effect on Jan. 1. The law changes the wording of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which was written to exclude people with disabilities from creating their own special needs trusts without court approval because they were assumed not to be legally competent.
Using irrevocable trusts to protect assets
When New York residents have worked hard all of their lives to provide for their families, they want to ensure that they protect the assets that they have obtained. However, many residents who start the estate planning process still want to maintain some form of control over those assets while they are alive. One way to do this is through an irrevocable trust.
Finding the right trustee
Trusts can be an important part of estate planning that help benefactors take care of their heirs. However, the good intentions of a grantor sometimes turn disastrous when the wrong person serves as a trustee.
3 important issues to discuss with aging parents
Coming to terms with the fact that your parents are aging is hard. You might be uncomfortable thinking about it, and your parents might be uncomfortable talking about it. While there may be valid concerns, there are still benefits to discussing important end-of-life matters. By helping an aging parent plan now, you can save time, stress and money.
Trustee duties under an irrevocable life insurance trust
A New York resident who is appointed trustee of an irrevocable life insurance trust has a number of duties and responsibilities. Above all, a trustee has a fiduciary duty, and this means there is a legal obligation to administer the trust competently for the benefit of the beneficiaries. The trustee must also manage trust investments. This may involve assistance from life insurance producers or from companies that review policies' performances. Other duties including safeguarding original policies, confirming that the ILIT is the policy owner and beneficiary, and making sure communications with insurance companies go to the trustee.
DIY will vs. lawyer: Which will save you money?
As you help your parents with their estate plans, you are probably using the internet as your primary source of information. You will also find plenty of free or low-cost legal forms you can fill out, such as wills and advance health directives.
4 misconceptions about writing a will
While most people wait until they are older or retired to create a will, they should really do it a lot sooner. In an article published by the American Association of Retired Persons, nearly six out of 10 U.S. adults lack a will.
Advantages of trusts for charitable giving
New York residents who would like to give to charity and provide for their loved ones in their estate plan can do both with a charitable trust. There are two types of charitable trusts. With a charitable remainder trust, a person places assets in the trust and then chooses a time period for the trust to pay distributions. This might be for up to 20 years. It can also be for the lifetime of the beneficiary. After the term ends, the remainder of assets in the trust go to the charity. A charitable lead trust works in reverse in that it funds a charity for a certain period of time after which the remaining assets go to another beneficiary.

Recent reviews
Superb 9.0 From 249 reviews
First off, let me just say that the location of this hotel can't be beat. It's right next to the central train & bus stations (literally on the other corner of the square), and all the major sights are within walking distance. It's got a funky vibe, and is kept impeccably clean. The staff are super friendly and helpful; they checked us in a little early the first day, and stored our luggage on the day we checked out until our train left in the evening (they have a locked room for luggage storage, unlike some hotels which just keep it in a closet or even just in the front foyer). The restaurant is good too. Literally the ONLY issue we had was that housekeeping didn't re-stock the complimentary tea/coffee/etc, but since we were only there for two nights it wasn't a huge deal.
A good basic hotel with a very helpful staff on an excellent location. Very clean, nice street view.
Really nice boutique hotel. Great staff. Ambiance. Central and next to train station. Best hotel in the area
Great value for money, friendly staff, and great breakfast.
The room was thoughtfully designed and comfortable to live in. Location of this hotel was very good, near the Central station and ideal for travelling to other cities in Belgium.

An athlete, Sims was an early world champion on the snowboard. But first, he had to invent it. In 1963, he made a "ski board" in shop class while in the 7th grade in Haddonfield, N.J. His motive was to be able to continue skateboarding during the winter. "That's what led me to build the first snowboard," he said, "not being able to skateboard on an icy street. So after that, it was just 12 months a year of boarding, whether it be skateboarding, snowboarding or surfing." His 7th-grade effort didn't work very well, but he continued refining the design, and Sims Snowboards, founded in 1977, became a leading manufacturer, and promoted the sport by sponsoring athletes. "He was the catalyst for having half-pipe in snowboard competitions," said editor Pat Bridges of Snowboarder magazine. "He actually got freestyle competitions off the ground, and that was invaluable." You've probably seen Sims in action on his board: he was Roger Moore's stunt double in the snowboarding escape scene in the 1985 "007" film, A View to a Kill. Three years later, snowboarding became an Olympic sport. Sims suffered cardiac arrest, and died September 12. he was 61.

From autonomous agricultural machines to new plant production systems
Arable farming is losing more and more social acceptance. Problems are (a) increasing soil pressure because of heavy machines, (b) the use of plant protection as well as (c) environmental pollution resulting from nitrogen fertilization. At the same time, new developments in automation can help to reduce the mentioned problems in fully automated production systems. We analyze if autonomous agricultural machines enable more sustainable plant production systems.
Plant production systems basing on autonomous small machinery are competing with already existing arable farming systems and their further development to autonomous heavy machinery. We examine the chance of success of the three different systems.
We compare all three systems in view of their advantages and disadvantages in plant production, agricultural technology and economy. In order to identify the different possibilities we analyze each step of the production system for possible alternatives (that is with small autonomous machines) and for the impact of this step on the evaluation criteria.
The currently used reference system in arable farming is being defined on the base of a typical farm for a chosen location in Germany. To draft scenarios for production systems with autonomous heavy and small machinery we do literature reviews and expert discussions.

IGN Presents the History of BioWare
January 21, 2010 - BioWare is one of the most respected developers in the videogame industry. From Baldur's Gate to Mass Effect, BioWare has consistently dictated taste rather than react to it. Its pioneering sense has not just lead to admiration, but also to a catalog of million-plus sellers, which is precisely why publishing giant Electronic Arts scooped it up in an expensive 2007 acquisition. Thanks to its groundbreaking PC and console role-playing games, BioWare has both elevated the genre and established Canada as a world power in the gaming industry. With their biggest game – Mass Effect 2 -- now arriving, and their fifteenth anniversary just weeks away, it's safe to say that BioWare is just getting started.
