ROME, July 7 (Reuters) - World food prices rose for the fifth month in a row in June, led by a surge in the sugar price and increases for most other food commodities, the United Nations food agency said on Thursday.
The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) food price index, which measures monthly changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat and sugar, averaged 163.4 points in June against a revised 156.7 points the month before.
The index was only one percent below June last year, and the 4.2 percent gain from May was its biggest monthly increase in the past four years, FAO said. (Reporting by Isla Binnie; editing by Francesca Landini)
6 escape death by fire, as landlord’s okada explodes On July 7, 20168:00 amIn NewsComments By Elizabeth Uwandu A family of six, including a one-week-old baby, escaped death by the whiskers after their building in Okokomaiko area of Lagos went up in flames at the early hours of Tuesday. The fire was said to have been caused by an explosion from a motorbike that was parked inside the building. A woman, identified as Mrs Oyinkansola, who was preparing a meal, allegedly positioned her cooking stove and a kerosene lantern, otherwise known as atukpa, close to the motorcycle, leading to the explosion. It took the efforts of neighbours, who broke down the doors to the house for the trapped tenants to escape, with some of them rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, the landlord of the building and owner of the burnt motorbike, Mr. Ishola Lukman, blamed Oyinkansola for the fire incident, noting that she had been warned several times not to cook in the veranda. His words: “She purposely set my new bike on fire when she decided to put her lantern very close to it. If she had cooked by the side of her apartment the bike would not have burnt. I have been parking my bikes at that same spot for long. “This particular one is new and it is the third I have bought. The fire would have been massive, but for the decking and swift response of neighbours who came to our rescue.” YOU MAY LIKE Abia Gov Crisis: Ikpeazu’s motion for stay of execution suffers setback - Va… Nigerian migrant beaten to death in racist attack - Vanguard News Fayose threatened former President Goodluck Jonathan that ... - Aluko - Va… AFEMAI leaders fault Ikimi on Oshiomhole - Vanguard News Alleged Purchase of PVCs: Obaseki campaign slams Ogienwonyi - Vangu… Shooting of DPO: Police arrest 12 suspects, including four Catholic priests… Aide to former president jailed for life - Vanguard News My cousins, Obaseki, Ize-Iyamu don't mean well — Pedro Obaseki - Vanguard News Start in the stone age and journey to future.

The whole financial world is a pyramid! How is the financial world organized? It is a pyramid. The Fed the U.S. Federal Reserve System is at the top of it. The Fed creates dollars. How much? As much as they want! Of course, Fed adhere to some of their own internal rules and regulations; they try, for example, not to create too many dollars to prevent complete devaluation of the currency, and etc. But in principle the Fed can create as many dollars as they want. At least, there are no any external limitations for that. Absolutely! The U.S. Fed is guided solely by the reasons of expediency. The lower levels of this global pyramid are the central banks of different countries; all other local national banks are situated on even lower levels. (Of course, all of this is slightly simplified, but in general everything reflects an overall picture). Actually, why do we need banks? Speaking figuratively, banks play the role of blood vessels in the social organism. Through these vessels the mone
