Millionaire gives away fortune which made him miserable

By Henry Samuel

Tuesday February 09 2010

Austrian millionaire Karl Rabeder is giving away every penny of his €3.4m fortune after realising his riches were making him unhappy.

Mr Rabeder, 47, a businessman from Telfs is in the process of selling his luxury 3,455 sq ft villa with lake, sauna and spectacular mountain views over the Alps, valued at £1.6m.

Also for sale is his beautiful old stone farmhouse in Provence with its 17 hectares overlooking the arrière-pays, on the market for €613,000. Already gone is his collection of six gliders valued at €400,000, and a luxury Audi A8, worth around €50,000.

Mr Rabeder has also sold the interior furnishings and accessories business – from vases to artificial flowers – that made his fortune.

"My idea is to have nothing left. Absolutely nothing," he said. "Money is counterproductive – it prevents happiness to come."

Instead, he will move out of his luxury Alpine retreat into a small wooden hut in the mountains or a simple bedsit in Innsbruck.

His entire proceeds are going to charities he set up in Central and Latin America, but he will not even take a salary from these.

"For a long time I believed that more wealth and luxury automatically meant more happiness," he said. "I come from a very poor family where the rules were to work more to achieve more material things, and I applied this for many years," said Mr Rabeder.

But over time, he had another, conflicting feeling.

"More and more I heard the words: 'Stop what you are doing now – all this luxury and consumerism – and start your real life'," he said. "I had the feeling I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need.

I have the feeling that there are lot of people doing the same thing."

However, for many years he said he was simply not "brave" enough to give up all the trappings of his comfortable existence.

The tipping point came while he was on a three-week holiday with his wife to islands of Hawaii.

"It was the biggest shock in my life, when I realised how horrible, soulless and without feeling the five star lifestyle is," he said. "In those three weeks, we spent all the money you could possibly spend. But in all that time, we had the feeling we hadn't met a single real person – that we were all just actors. The staff played the role of being friendly and the guests played the role of being important and nobody was real."

He had similar feelings of guilt while on gliding trips in South America and Africa. "I increasingly got the sensation that there is a connection between our wealth and their poverty," he said.

Suddenly, he realised that "if I don't do it now I won't do it for the rest of my life".

Mr Rabeder decided to raffle his Alpine home, selling 21,999 lottery tickets priced at just €100 each. The Provence house in the village of Cruis is on sale at the local estate agent.

All the money will go into his microcredit charity, which offers small loans to Latin America and builds development aid strategies to self-employed people in El Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina and Chile.

Since selling his belongings, Mr Rabeder said he felt "free, the opposite of heavy".

But he said he did not judge those who chose to keep their wealth. "I do not have the right to give any other person advice. I was just listening to the voice of my heart and soul."

LARA MARLOWE in Washington

TWO IRISHMEN are recovering from gunshot wounds in a New York hospital after being shot by a security guard in a dispute over smoking at a bowling alley.

Gerard Hourigan from Limerick and Justin Donaghy from Navan, both age 29, were smoking indoors in a bowling alley in Queens at about 1.45am on Saturday when Michael Iavecchio (54), the bowling alley's security guard, told them to leave.

Mr Iavecchio then escorted them outside and a fight ensued. The guard, a retired policeman, pulled out his .380 calibre Ruger semi-automatic pistol and shot Mr Hourigan on the right side of the torso and Mr Donaghy in the stomach.

"This has been an enormous trauma," said a young American woman who identified herself as Mr Hourigan's wife. She was reached by telephone at the Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, where the two men are recovering.

A police spokeswoman said the Irishmen will be arrested and arraigned by a local judge on charges of menacing as soon as they are released from hospital. She said their punishment will be up to the court. Their lives are not in danger.

"They're charged with a misdemeanour, not a crime," said James Patrick Delaney, the Irishmen's lawyer. "They had no weapon and they didn't cause any injury. They both have clean records in Ireland and the US. They are both married to American girls. They're hard-working and they're both here legally. Their families have come over from Ireland since the incident." Mr Delaney says he owns pubs in New York and Dublin and that smoking "is not an issue. I've never seen anybody get in a fight about it." The AMF 34th Avenue Lanes bowling alley in Jackson Heights, Queens, is described by the New York Times as being located on "a desolate commercial strip just south of Northern Boulevard". It has 35 lanes, billiard tables and a snack bar and was described in the New York Daily News as "family-oriented".

Mr Iavecchio was a policeman for 18 years before retiring in 1999. He had an unrestricted licence to carry a concealed weapon. His last posting was in the prison ward of the Kings County Hospital Centre. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault. The police spokeswoman said Mr Iavecchio was detained by police who went to the scene of the shooting, but she did not know if he was still being held.

The altercation between Mr Iavecchio and the two Irishmen was recorded by a surveillance camera.

Wondering if anyone knows anything about these "establishments"?
From what I can tell they sell "alternatives" to illegal drugs etc.
Reason I ask is that they've opened up a shop in my village and there are obvious concerns around but I was looking for any further info anyone might have on them.

I've googled etc and there is limited enough info out there

Cheers in advance

Trinity College gets first set of GAA goalposts

Friday, January 15, 2010 - 08:21 AM

History has been made at Dublin's Trinity College with the instillation of a set of GAA goalposts at College Park allowing Gaelic games to be played on the city centre campus for the first time in its 418-year history.

GAA members in the college have relied on the generosity of the Clanna Gael Fontenoy and Parnells GAA clubs in recent years for training facilities.

Trinity GAA Officer Eoin Vaughan said: "It's brilliant news for the college to have a set of goalposts in place to play Gaelic games in our city centre campus."

"GAA has always had an important part to play in college life, and anything we can do to make life easier for students by having a GAA facility on campus is a welcome bonus.

"We have 400 students involved in gaelic games in the college at the moment, and hopefully the addition of this training facility will boost us in our quest for success this year."

In 1879 the first meeting of the Irish Hurling union was held in House 17 of Botany Bay in Trinity College. Edward Carson played in a game in 1877.

The GAA did not take root in Trinity until the 1950s. The GAA's strong association with the Catholic Church, its ban of foreign games and the Catholic church barring their members attending college, all inhibited the development of Gaelic games.

The name most associated with the foundation of GAA in Trinity is Colm Kennelly who went on to become a Kerry All- Ireland star in 1953 and 1954.

The recent arrival of GAA goalposts for use in College park is further evidence of the growth of Gaelic games within the college.

The college handballers won All Ireland honours in the 40 by 20 intervarsities in Tralee recently and the ladies gaelic footballers have qualified for the final of their division of the league.

The men's footballers are training hard for the Trench cup under Dublin selector Brian Talty.

The Trinity hurlers who have been boosted by the inclusion of six Kilkenny men are hoping that former All Ireland medal winner with Clare Stephen McNamara will guide them to Ryan cup weekend

Former Aussie Rules star Colm Begley has stunned his home club Stradbally by requesting a transfer to Dublin outfit Parnells.

The ex-Brisbane Lions and St. Kilda player, who has represented Ireland in the International Rules series, was expected to be a key figure for the Laois club this year, but it appears he has his sights set on a move to Parnells, where he would link up with fellow Laoismen Colm Parkinson and Darren Rooney.

Begley, who returned home last autumn after five years in the AFL and has since joined up with the Laois football squad, is set to be based in the city. Neither the Leinster Council nor Laois county board had received Begley's transfer form as of last night, but O'Moore County secretary Niall Handy admitted he expects the paperwork in the coming days.

He told the Irish Sun: "It hasn't been submitted, but we believe it's coming. As far as I know, it's club only."

Handy, who himself is a Stradbally man, admitted that more big names could follow Parkinson, Rooney and Begley to the northside club, which recently received planning permission to build a EUR30 million facility in Coolock.

"It is a loss to Laois. It's the third one and there are rumours of more."

Parnells chairman Frank Gleeson has refused to be drawn on the matter, only saying: "We are constantly linked with Laois players because we already have two Laois players at the club.

Given the recernt number of people heading down under thought this might be interesting

Bouncer gets seven years for sex assault

By Anne Lucey

Thursday December 17 2009

A judge who sentenced a bouncer to seven years in jail for sexually assaulting a young woman strongly criticised a character witness statement by a parish priest who said the man had "always had the height of respect for women".

Fr Sean Sheehy, parish priest of Castlegregory, Co Kerry, told the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee he had known Danny Foley (35) since he was a teenager and said there was "not an abusive bone in his body".

However, Judge Donagh McDonagh said Foley's actions on the night of the sex assault "gave the lie" to Fr Sheehy's character statement.

The courtroom also witnessed extraordinary scenes as 50 people, mostly middle-aged and elderly men, queued past the press box to shake the hand of the convicted man and hug him after he was brought from the cell to the dock.

The bouncer was handed the seven-year sentence for the sexual assault of a woman whom gardai on patrol found semi-conscious alongside a skip in the town centre car park in Listowel in the early hours of June 15, 2008, with the man "crouching over her".

She was naked from the waist down, and her jeans and underwear had been removed. The woman had extensive bruises and scratching throughout her body, the trial of Foley heard earlier this month. There was no clinical evidence of sexual assault.

Foley, of Meen, Listowel, had denied the charge. He told gardai he had "found your wan" after he had gone to relieve himself near the skip at 3.50am.

However, CCTV footage showed him carrying the woman to the skip area. It also emerged he had met her earlier in a nightclub and she had become ill and quickly incapacitated after he bought her a black Russian drink. He had insisted on walking her home, against her wishes.

The victim's recollection was hazy and she blacked out but she remembered trying to prevent him from removing her clothing.

Two weeks ago, a jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict.

Judge McDonagh described the woman's victim impact statement as one of "remarkable dignity".

He said the convicted man's "revolting " assertions and the "odious" language he used to describe his victim and his allegations about mutual sexual acts on the night, were designed "to add insult to injury" and "to demean and denigrate her further in the eyes of the jury and the public".

In her impact statement, the victim spoke of being "judged" in north Kerry for pursing her case. "Even though my name has never been mentioned in the press, Listowel is not a big town and everyone knows it's me. I feel as if people are judging me the whole time.

"I've been asked by people I know if I am sorry for bringing Dan Foley to court. I am not sorry for it. All I did was tell the truth," she said in a frail voice.

She had become suicidal after the incident but was now attending counselling.

Yesterday handing down sentence Judge McDonagh said Foley had told lie after lie and sentenced him to seven years, suspending the final two and ordering he be placed on the sex offenders' register for life.

I couldn't believe this when I read it--

FATHER-of-three Alan O'Neill remortgaged his home and ploughed his pension, personal savings and money set aside for his children's education into the Dubai scheme.

The ice salesman, from Ballycullen in south Dublin, travelled to Dubai before committing his money. He liked what he saw and hoped the investment would yield cash for his family's future. But now he has no idea where the €440,000 he put into the scheme four years ago is, or what it has been used for.

"I read about it in the papers and it sounded interesting," he said. "I went over and I was just sold on the Larionova idea and the concept.

"I've invested in four different properties with Larionovo. The first one was International City, which is now completed and I still don't have deeds or keys for it. I've seen the end product, the site. I've bought in Sports City -- Westgate is 60pc paid, again through Larionovo and Profile. The third property I bought was Snowdome through Larionovo and Profile and 32 group, which is 50pc paid.

"I've a €10,000 deposit paid on another one -- the Waterfront -- to Larionovo. I have no idea where that has gone."

He returned to Dubai again last year to see what progress had been made on the developments.

"I was over there twice last year and they were just up to sub-floor level. There were no problems at the start and all the indications were fantastic until Larionovo disappeared overnight.

"The last contact I had was around nine or 10 months ago and I've been trying to email them and had people email on my behalf but there's been no joy.

"I'm planning to go over there in December to find out for myself. I don't think it will be completed. I'd like my money back at the moment because I really need the cash at home."

Younger wife' for marital bliss

The secret to a happy marriage for men is choosing a wife who is smarter and at least five years younger than you, say UK experts.

These pairings are more likely to go the distance, particularly if neither has been divorced in the past, according to the Bath University team.

The findings predict a happy future for pop star Beyonce Knowles, 28, and rapper husband Jay-Z, 39.

The work is published in the European Journal of Operational Research.

The researchers studied interviews of more than 1,500 couples who were married or in a serious relationship.

Five years later, they followed up 1,000 of the couples to see which had lasted.

For better or worse

They found that if the wife was five or more years older than her husband, they were more than three times as likely to divorce than if they were the same age.

If the age gap is reversed, and the man is older than the woman, the odds of marital bliss are higher.

Add in a better education for the woman - Beyonce has her high school diploma, unlike husband Jay-Z - and the chances of lasting happiness improve further.

Those who have never divorced fare better too. But couples in which one member has been through a divorce in the past are less stable than those in which both members are divorcees.

Dr Emmanuel Fragniere and colleagues do say that men and women choose partners "on the basis of love, physical attraction, similarity of taste, beliefs and attitudes, and shared values."

But they say that using "objective factors" such as age, education and cultural origin "may help reduce divorce".

Had a good giggle at this

ATTENTION:Mr Neville Green, General Manager—National Parts

DearSir,

I would like to bring to your attention some serious faults in Nissan Motor Co in regard to parts availability, lead times and pricing. Currently we have a Nissan W40 Civilian bus that we cannot use to transport staff to and from the mine. The reason this bus is not operational is not labour or condition related, it is because of a denial on the part of yourself and Nissan Motor Co to adequately supply your clientele with parts. I give you the example of the following items:
ITEM   PART NUMBER   QUANTITY BEGGED FOR
Nut   NI-40208-00221   10
Washer   NI-40208-82100   10
Seal-Oil   NI-48252-32100   2
Wheel Rim   NI-40800-99071   2
Drum Brake   NI-40206-T8100   2
Hub Bolt   NI-40222-J5625   10
Brake Shoes   NI-43060-T9627   1
Nut   NI-40224-J5610   10
Nut   NI-48226-J5610   10

Of these items I tried to purchase, only 3 are available in W.A. It stretches the bounds of credulity that items such as wheel nuts (a consumable in most of the known world) are available with a lead time of 4 days-ex east. What resoundingly snaps the bounds of credulity clean in half is that items such as brake shoes are ex Japan (6 weeks). I cannot deny the effectiveness of these components, they not only slow the bus down, they have the ability to stop

it stone f**king dead for 6 weeks! I didn't even bother enquiring availability on such complicated parts such as washers etc. — the only washers in stock would be — Washer? Wind f**k out of this customer and tell him it's ex east.

On the rare occasion we have been delivered parts within an acceptable time period, they have been entirely wrong. It is not that the wrong parts are ordered, it is that some of your parts interpreters are so green I couldn't set them on fire with petrol.

These are not isolated incidents, they occur every time we try to purchase parts, from $10.00 hoses, at $109.40 each, through to internal gearbox components that are second only to thermonuclear warheads in their capacity to annihlate all that surrounds them.

It is astounding that in this day of interstate air and road transport at least 6 times a day, you peanuts take 4 days to get a part across the country. May I suggest you stop freighting the parts with Nissan transport vehicles as the 3 week delay in Nissan's 24 hr roadside assist is becoming too much for us to bear.

I could elaborate on the complete frustration I feel from trying to keep the bus on the road safely. Suffice to say the bus driver now has a firm belief in the afterlife and we haven't ruled out danger money for the position.

Please don't get me wrong, I could handle the first 35 times of being fucked around, (the apologetic kiss from customer support was always welcome). Now that you've turned it into a bizarre form of sado-masochism complete with scratching and biting, I feel I have to complain...

I look forward to discussing every single frustrating event of the past 8 months with you.

I SINCERELY HOPE YOU c***ts NEVER BUILD PLANES

Yours in utter amazement,

Jarrod Byrne

Folks

Looking for a bit of help. If anyone here has a contact or knowledge of Irish Labour Law - Republic - can they PM me please

Would be interested in people's opinion of this which is due to be passed in the Dail this week. Interesting letter in today's Times from some legal eagles

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill
Madam, – We the undersigned are lawyers whose practices include the area of criminal law. Many of us both prosecute and defend.
We see at first hand the effect of crime, particularly violent crime on individuals and communities in our society and we also have a close up view of the criminal justice system with its strengths and its frailties.
We are extremely concerned then about the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009 which, it appears, is likely to become law this week.
It has been introduced without any research to support its desirability and without canvassing expert opinion or inviting contribution from interested parties on the issues.
It appears now that it will be passed without proper debate in the Dáil because such debate has been guillotined by the Government.
It is quite simply astounding that we as a society would jettison ancient rights and rules of evidence in such a manner and seemingly without regard to the effect such impetuous legislating might ultimately have on the respect for the rule of law in this country.
While there are many aspects of the Bill that cause real and serious concern the most pressing are as follows: The abolition of jury trial for a range of new offences; the use of opinion evidence from any garda as to the existence of a criminal organisation; the failure to require that the garda opinion evidence be corroborated; the provision for secret hearings to extend detentions without the presence of the suspect or their lawyer.
Jurors who give up their time, as is both their right and duty, often come away with a deep appreciation of the process that must be applied in ensuring a fair trial for all and a realisation of the magnitude of the decision which has been entrusted to them.The right to trial by jury is enshrined in our Constitution, only to be taken away where it is determined that the ordinary courts are inadequate to secure the effective administration of justice, and the preservation of public peace and order.Are we as a nation at greater threat from "ordinary" criminals than other countries are from organised international terrorism? The US will allow jury trial of those within its territorial borders. In the UK they try "terrorist" offences in jury courts.
Recent legislation in the UK has allowed for rare non-jury trials but it at least requires a hearing before such an order can be made. If this legislation is passed, all these new offences will go to the Special Criminal Court unless the DPP directs otherwise.The United Nations Human Rights Committee has already condemned the inequality of similar provisions as it applies to existing offences but now it is proposed that we widen the net of those accused who are to be denied the right to a jury trial.Opinion evidence from a Garda must be understood as simply that – an opinion. No basis for such an opinion would be required by this Bill. No corroboration is required.

A Garda on the beat – who may base it on a person's previous convictions or from evidence upon which he/she will claim privilege and therefore not have to divulge where it came from – will be able to give an opinion which could result in conviction and sentence for a serious crime.The Constitution will surely not permit this, but even if it does, Ireland is likely to find itself shamed before the international community when the European Court of Human Rights or the United Nations Human Rights Committee are, inevitably, called upon to rule on the issue.
When seeking extensions of detention for the purpose of investigation the hearings may be heard in secret and not just in the absence of the person in detention and his/her lawyer but without even the judge's clerk or prosecution lawyer if deemed appropriate.Secret hearings should be anathema to a system based on the rule of law. From the manner in which detention hearings are currently conducted, there is nothing to suggest that investigations would be compromised.In the main the court hears generalised evidence about the necessity for further time to carry out interrogations, forensic testing or assessment of evidence.
Finally we would draw attention to the fact that many of the issues that have been raised by the Government in promoting this Bill have already been addressed in previous legislation.
For example, the intimidation of witnesses is met by both the use of out of court statements as evidence and the use of covert surveillance.
Out of court statements have already been used before the courts and have resulted in successful prosecutions and the latter provisions regarding covert surveillance have to be given the opportunity to work before we rush headlong into unknown territory.
We the undersigned urge the Government to withdraw this Bill and instead provide for a short consultative period during which reasoned debate can be heard. – Yours, etc,

Davoren to miss rest of Dubs' championship campaign

Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 02:53 PM

Mark Davoren will miss the rest of Dublin's championship campaign.

A scan result today has confirmed the Kilmacud Crokes star has torn his cruciate ligament.

Davoren was stretchered of the pitch at Croke Park on Sunday after twisting his knee in the Dubs' win over Meath.

That's a pity as he looked promising enough on Sunday
