The White Masai

My Exotic Tale of Love and Adventure

By: Corinne Hofmann

The runaway international bestseller is now an American must-read for lovers of adventure, travel writing, and romance. Corinne Hofmann tells how she falls in love with an African warrior while on holiday in Kenya. After overcoming severe obstacles, she moves into a tiny hut with him and his mother, and spends four years in his Kenyan village. Slowly but surely, the dream starts to crumble, and she hatches a plan to return home with her daughter, a baby born of the seemingly indestructible love between a white European woman and a Masai. Compulsively readable, The White Masai is at once a hopelessly romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn, and a fine piece of meticulously observed social anthropology.

EU State Aid Control of Infrastructure Funding

By: Corinne Ruechardt

The elements of infrastructure – roads, transportation, electricity, water, communications, schools, hospitals – are so ingrained in the fabric of daily life that few people give a second thought to who provides them, and how. Yet, they are controlled by an extensive and complex regulatory system. Moreover, the EU’s State aid modernization plan has made infrastructure a crucial aspect of competition law. How did EU State aid law turn into regulation on whether a city can build a new airport, or how it may operate a school? And what do the rules actually mean for infrastructure funding? These are the questions this book, the first comprehensive guide to EU State aid law in this key sector and a major contribution to the debate on the topic, seeks to answer. In its thorough review of the legal literature as well as relevant legislation and case law, this book covers such aspects of the infrastructure-State aid nexus as the following: – role of infrastructure in competition law; – infrastructure funding as aid and its compatibility with the internal market; – impact on land development and other ongoing activities; – sector-specific impact of State aid regulation on the design of infrastructure projects; – risk management; and – newer infrastructure sectors such as sports and cultural and healthcare projects. At many points in the presentation, the case-by-case analysis provides individual appraisals. In addition to focusing on the complex rules and how they have been interpreted in the decisional practice of the Commission and in the EU case law, this book provides deeply informed proposals for reform. This is a key work in a field of EU law that has developed and changed dramatically in recent years. It is sure to be of immeasurable value to practitioners and jurists in State aid law, competition law, and public procurement, as well as market actors (aid beneficiaries and competitors), policymakers, government officials, and business persons in these fields.

Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease

Chapter 24. Animal Models and Methods to Study the Relationships Between Brain and Tissues in Metabolic Regulation

By: Luc Penicaud,Alexandre Benani,Frédérique Datiche,Xavier Fioramonti,Corinne Leloup,Fabienne Lienard

The constant increase in the number of obese and diabetic patients, which has become a concern of public health, is the consequence of dysregulations in energy homeostasis. Communications between the brain and peripheral tissues play a critical role in this regulation. Studying the brain-periphery axis has become a critical field of research. This chapter lists a panel of concepts, approaches, tools and techniques scientists possess to study the brain-periphery axis in the regulation of energy homeostasis. We focused on techniques used in vivo to stimulate the brain such as the stereotaxy, electrical stimulation, vascular surgery and optogenetic. We described tools and approaches used to study in vivo and in vitro response of neural cells to metabolic stimuli such as electrophysiology, cellular imaging, microdialysis and c-fos mapping. Finally, approaches used to study peripheral behavioral and metabolic responses such as food intake and body weight monitoring and glucose clamps are presented.

Reunion in Barsaloi

By: Corinne Hofmann

Fourteen years after fleeing Kenya with her baby daughter, Corinne returned in the summer of 2004 to meet Lketinga and his family again in their village, Barsaloi. Nervous as she was, and uncertain as to how he would react on seeing her again, she found to her relief that she was welcomed unreservedly by all those who remembered her - by Lketinga, who still thought of her as his 'wife number one', by his brother, James, now a schoolteacher and especially by Lketinga's mother, who had looked after Corinne with such care all those years before. Corinne Hofmann revisits an area of a country which she cares about passionately, describing in her immensely readable style the changes she saw after her time away, and once again bringing to life the atmosphere and characters in the Masai village.
