IRIN/PlusNews Profiles Ethiopian Cafe That Provides No-Cost Condoms

�
IRIN/PlusNews on Wednesday profiled Bellissima, an Ethiopian coffee shop located in the upper-case letter of Addis Ababa that provides no-cost "Sensation" steel condoms with every order. Hayat Ahmed, 2003 Miss Ethiopia and owner of Bellissima, said that as the marque ambassador for "Sensation" condoms in the country, she "wanted to link concern with a message for sexually participating people." According to IRIN/PlusNews, the cafe's concept is modeled on "condom parallel bars" in Asia. Within the first deuce days of business, the cafe handed out hexad boxes that contained 48 packets of three condoms each. The campaign is supported by social merchandising groups like DKT Ethiopia, and Ahmed said she plans to open more cafes around the country and boost other HIV/AIDS prevention strategies, such as fidelity and abstinence. Ahmed said that many Ethiopians are "ashamed" to discuss condom use and that she wants to "facing pages the message that condoms can protect you from HIV/AIDS." According to IRIN/PlusNews, the no-cost condoms have "elicited sundry reactions, with older patrons tending not to like the musical theme, while younger ones making love it and sometimes ask for a second packet." Ahmed added that she plans to set up condom vending machines in the cafe (IRIN/PlusNews, 8/20).

Tom Chaplin (vocals), Richard Hughes (drums), and Tim Rice-Oxley (piano) are childhood friends from Battle, East Sussex, England, and together they make the merry kill sounds of Keane. Formed in 1997 spell each were attention college, Keane initially started out as a cover band. They played Oasis, U2, and Beatles songs in and about East Sussex with guitar player Dominic Scott. The shtik would only last so foresighted, for the band got hackneyed of playing everyone else's songs and yearned to do things on their own. When Chaplin leftfield his prowess history studies at Edinburgh University behind in 1999, and stirred to London to join the rest of his mates, Keane had a probability to truly do it.


Keane began writing and transcription almost immediately. Call Me What You Like marked their self-released debut single in early 2000, and Woman chaser at the Door followed a year by and by; nevertheless, things were slow to develop. Scott left the band in July 2001 and labels weren't truly mordacious at Keane's rich, piano-driven kind of rock because Coldplay purportedly was doing it. In December 2002, Keane got the break they'd been wait for. Fierce Panda's Simon Williams was summoned by a champion to attend a Keane spear in London. Williams was so impressed by the band's performance, he offered to number the band's adjacent single, Everybody's Changing, on the spot. The limited edition outlet was such a success on radio receiver that various labels shortly swarmed around the indie rock ternion, eager to offer them a recording contract.


Keane gestural to Island UK in fall 2003 and released their fourth single, This Is the Last Time. The band's uncut debut, Hopes and Fears, appeared the next outflow. It strike the top of the U.K. album charts during its first week of liberation, drubbing out Morrissey's You Are the Quarry. As they burned up the charts on both sides of the pool, Keane received two Brit Awards for Best Breakthrough Act and Best Album 2005 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. By summer 2005, they were opening select dates on U2's Vertigo domain duty tour and enjoying the success of their Resilient Recordings 2004 EP. For their arcsecond record album, the dark, challenging Under the Iron Sea, Keane once once more united producer Andy Green. Stateside summer shows coincided its June 2006 sacking. The album debuted at number tetrad on the Billboard Top two century album chart during its first workweek of firing.
