Holland v Chile: World Cup 2014 – live! | Football | theguardian.com

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeep! It’s all over. The Netherlands have won 2-0 and will top Group B, while vanquished Chile will finish second. Arjen Robben was once again immense in this match, with his extraordinary turn of speed proving Chile’s undoing. When he has the ball at his feet, you know exactly what he’s going to do, but there’s very little you can do to stop him.

Let me breathe my own air

Let me choose my flying wings

Let me rest in the sky’s nest

I’m tired of impure words and hearts

I’m tired from the dance of colors in each face

I’m tired of looking backwards

through barred windows and shame

Let me be myself

Let me live as a human

That I am female should not matter

Ford to make cars with Heinz tomato skins?!

Ford to make cars with Heinz tomato skins?!

Heinz and Ford are exploring the idea of using tomato skins, a by-product in ketchup production, to make cars.

The concept is surprising, but Ford could make use of the by-product.  They could make the plastic parts for the cars with plastic that does not need petrol.

Heinz uses over 2 million tomatoes per year to make ketchup, this creates a lot of waste as the skin, pips and vines are not used.

Homeless in Germany given the boot | Germany | DW.DE | 23.06.2014

{Article, itself demonstrates social view of German homelessness – featured is a depressed former gambler and no discussion about range of reasons why so many are homeless and how they got that way.}

Germany’s umbrella organization for housing assistance (BAGW) says the number of people without a domicile in Germany has gone up dramatically over the last few years. In 2012, 284,000 people had nowhere to live – a rise of 15 percent compared to 2010. And BAGW expects that figure to rise again by a further 30 percent to 380,000 by 2016.

Fighting sexism – 30 years on — New Internationalist

I remember how 30 years ago, I raged, raved and ranted when I heard that a drunken husband had kicked his pregnant wife in the stomach, causing her to lose her baby. I waved an article at the group of women and asked them to form a vigilante team to beat up drunken men who entered the village, as women in Nagaland had done, according to a newspaper report I had read.  An old woman calmly said to me: ‘You are very young. But don’t say such (silly) things to our women. If a woman joins a mob to beat up her husband, how will she face him the next day? How will life go on?’

And so we continue. Thirty years later.

6 Books That Helped Me Recover From Depression –

“This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body”
