EXPERIENCE: Deep peace, calm, confidence, comfort + contentment; power + assuredness during occasions of high-stress. Like our knitting, peace is one thing we've to work at, to style with all our would possibly. After some time, observe how your outer world adjustments, as your inside world is reworked. Bottom line now we have decisions in every second to act from a spot of inside peace, or trigger ourselves and others turmoil, pain and struggling. It seems, in moments of peace during meditation, we are actually encountering a completely new self that has no need for non-peace. Lastly, you will come to this—deep inner peace inside you that endures, no matter what challenges life brings. Quite often, it is believed that to achieve inside peace, the external image should really feel complete. Then we can radiate that peace to others, bringing calmness and wisdom to tense conditions, and in so doing be lights on the earth (Matthew 5:14; Philippians 2:14-15).
There is numerous unfavorable energy and craziness on this world, but we are able to all be taught to live with inside peace. As serenity and unconditional love fill your heart, you'll settle for that you simply cannot return, and won't relinquish what you will have now discovered, that peace that you simply appear to have been looking for your entire life. Whenever you discover peace inside your self, you become the kind of person who can reside at peace with others.
As rivers circulate into the ocean however cannot make the vast ocean overflow, so movement the streams of the sense-world into the ocean of peace that's the sage. Peace needs to be within the heart of every human being as a result of that is the place it belongs. All we did was unfold drama and created damaging vitality and interior conflict that polluted our inner space. Creating area for solitude is one of the most vital routes to finding inner peace. What makes this tougher is that we need to have a certain quantity of interior peace to see the world and all that takes place as a perfect state of things. In this relinquishment of inside manipulation, it's possible you'll discover that there is no private thinker of thoughts, no personal producer of emotion, no private sufferer of ache, and no personal enjoyer of delight. I favored your remark that inner peace comes from a state of being slightly than doing.
Everybody needs more peace, more happiness, less stress and to be much less affected by drama and negative power. While its all the time okay to share with others if that feels peaceful and liberating to you, by no means really feel obligated to talk about your issues or journey except you need to. Let no one intrude along with your interior wants. Maybe the important thing to feeling actual peace is having the ability to accept what is Acceptance merely means recognizing your ego's voice and rejecting it. Realizing that the one particular person we will change is ourselves permits us to do this. The central hub of this revolution is a painfully fashionable patch of Decrease Manhattan the place a meditation studio now offers lessons through which pupils explore their own minds without help from an teacher in vibrant cotton trousers. It instantly changes your perspective on all the things, giving your life a special tempo and which means. Think about the state of our internal house, while we are going about our day, unaware of the polluting in-coming ideas.
Explains Shriram Sarvotham, senior Sri Sri Yoga teacher, We can't straight power or demand peace of thoughts but we are able to prepare the thoughts to change into nonetheless." A nonetheless and centered thoughts is a powerhouse of enthusiasm, it's the place creativity dawns.
Believing we're loved comes with realizing who we are, not judging ourselves or others for errors we make, and from each day meditation by which we feel the unconditional love of one thing larger than ourselves. I feel like this submit was meant ESPECIALLY for me. I smile on the surface, and i've been instructed that I am simply the sweetest particular person, but in some way, that inside peace continues to elude me, because of the damaging ideas. Inside peace drives external perfection, and exterior perfection drives extra interior peace. Inner Peace started as Interior Peace Day, a global celebration of 21 March as the World Day for Inner Peace.
All of us have a limitless ocean of joy within us. Love is present at the very core of our being. Peace is nice but we must always not let down our guard all the identical as others may be simply biting their time and ready for the right second to strike with their nukes or what have you, however no worries I'm certain that in the not too distant future that we will all be capable to manage the whole lot and not have to worry about such things.
Although it might appear to be a straightforward process to be still or be in silence, the reality is far from it. Because of this as I acknowledged within the introduction, attaining and living with inside peace is just not some simple or boring process. We are a group of yoga lecturers and psychotherapists, former frontline professionals, social employees and media palms, who want to help others experience the wellbeing, peace and inside clarity that an built-in yoga practice brings.
Attachment to, or a robust identification with something brings internal turmoil, nervousness or pain, for we live from a state of worry for self or others. Tools for Inner Peace provides yoga for refugees and restorative retreats for peacemakers. How far we are keen to go, all will depend on how a lot inner peace we wish to have.
Easy Pose is the basic seat for meditation, and meditation is a coaching of the mind. Your worries will drive away inner peace; focus on the positive in life to remain peaceable and in management. Don't lose your internal peace for anything in any respect, even if your whole world seems upset.

Highways and Roadways in T&T Thread.
Author Topic: Highways and Roadways in T&T Thread. (Read 4205 times)
We can complete $7.4bn highway.
By Radhica Sookraj (Guardian)
OAS assures Govt
Although its parent company filed for bankruptcy protection two weeks ago, Brazilian construction firm OAS Construtora has told the T&T Government it is in good financial condition and will be able to complete the $7.4 billion Solomon Hochoy Highway Extension by May 2016.
An OAS team, including country superintendent Rodrigo Ventura and several board directors, met with Works Minister Dr Suruj Rambachan and National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco) chairman Dr Carson Charles on Monday to discuss concerns about the project.
Charles later told reporters that contrary to claims made by Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley, he had no information that OAS was withholding payments to local contractors.
"If this is happening, we have received no reports. I will have to find out whether this is so," Charles said.
He said that dozens of local contractors and suppliers were also providing goods and services to OAS, the main contractor on the billion-dollar highway project. Charles said OAS directors from Brazil flew to T&T last week to discuss the project.
"Despite constraints in Brazil, that is not preventing the company from doing work here. We understand that OAS's parent company filed for bankruptcy protection, which is a provision whereby the court gives them protection to pay off their debts in an orderly fashion by selling assets. The protection order gives them time to satisfy all their creditors," Charles said.
"OAS chairman and members of the board have informed us of how they plan to complete the work. The plan seems feasible and we are satisfied.
"We continue to pay them for such works they have undertaken. We took a loan so we have the money. OAS operations in Trinidad are continuing because our payments are up to date."
Charles said OAS would give weekly updates to Nidco and the ministry on the progress of the highway construction.
"If you go on the site you will see works are still going on. They are busy working on the segment from St Mary's Junction to Grant Road," Charles said.
He said once the road was inspected and passed it would be opened later this month.
Rambachan said he asked OAS officials to ensure that all local contractors were paid and they assured him the company was making timely payments. He said if any contractor was having problems with payments they should make a report to Nidco, the supervisory agency.
Local contractors, including Kalco Limited, said yesterday that they were being paid on time.
"We are not sure if suppliers and other contractors are being affected," a Kalco official said.
Sources told the T&T Guardian there had been delays in the past with payment of fees to some contractors, including Ansad Services Limited. A source at Namalco Construction Services also said the company ended its relationship with OAS in 2012 because of problems with payment of fees.
Rowley warning
At a political meeting last week, Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley had warned that the highway project was in trouble because Brazilian company OAS Grupo, OAS Construtora's parent company, was in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings due to the corruption scandal it was currently embroiled in.
"Right now I could tell you that the accounts office there is without any local input. Only Brazilians inside there operating with a satellite to a bankrupt company in Brazil and of course, the local contractors who have been working for them are now in great danger because they are not being paid and they are hoping that this will remain silent until after election."
Earlier this month, Grupo OAS sought bankruptcy protection following a corruption scandal involving one of its biggest customers, state-owned energy company Petrobras. The company filed for court protection to renegotiate its debts with creditors and suppliers because its access to finance has been severely restricted since the end of last year.
OAS executives, along with officials from some of Brazil's largest construction firms, have been charged with money laundering, corruption and criminal conspiracy in an alleged kickback and bribe scandal at Petrobras.

I believe in the stars in the dark night.
Re: We can complete $7.4bn highway.
This is a stupid move. Most contracts will allow the client to terminate the contract when the contractor files for bankruptcy.
The quality of the product will start to deteriorate as the contractor tries to maximise on margins eventually leaving a mess that the client will have no recourse from. No liquidated damages will be applicable if they are legally bankrupt.
They should rethink this and break the project up into packages and go back out to tender.

Re: Highways and Roadways in T&T Thread.
KAMLA: Causeway for Chaguaramas
By Joel Julien (Express).
IF the People's Partnership is re-elected into office for a second successive term after this year's general election, a roadway will be constructed over the water from Port of Spain to Chaguaramas, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has announced.
Persad-Bissessar made the announcement as she delivered the feature address at the United National Congress (UNC) Monday Night Forum held at the Fyzabad Secondary School last night.
Persad-Bissessar said Planning Minister Dr Bhoe Tewarie has been working on the construction of the Chaguaramas Boardwalk, which she labelled as "one of the most inspiring" projects for Trinidad and Tobago.
"Our Cabinet has already agreed we will partner with the Canadian government to look into the feasibility of building a causeway from Port of Spain right down to Chaguaramas," Persad-Bissessar said.
"We will look at the causeway, we will build it...you know I was in Panama recently and I saw the causeway running across the water skipping all the major traffic and just getting from place to place with cut-off points along the way.
"We will, with your help, in our second term build the first-ever causeway in Trinidad and Tobago in the North-West peninsula," she stated.
In addition to the causeway, Persad-Bissessar said the construction of the highway from Point Fortin to San Fernando will continue and another highway will be constucted from San Fernando to Mayaro.
"I give you the assurance tonight that the Partnership Government post-election 2015, should we form the Government, we will build the San Fernando to Mayaro highway in that term," Persad-Bissessar said.
On Wednesday, Persad-Bissessar will be celebrating her 63rd birthday.
On that day, chief executive officer of Royal Dutch Shell Ben Van Beurden is scheduled to arrive in Trinidad.
It is Van Beurden's first visit to the Western Hemisphere since the anouncement of a US$70 billion merger between Shell and British Gas two weeks ago.
Persad-Bissessar said the expected arrival of Van Beurden was evidence that there is no truth to claims that this country is facing an "energy crisis".
"In less than 12 hours of that announcement (of the merger) a letter was delivered to me from the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, Ben Van Beurden, in which he said that Shell is committed to partnering and investing in Trinidad and Tobago," Persad-Bissessar told the crowd in Fyzabad.
"So what crisis? What crisis in the energy sector? When it is Royal Dutch Shell will be coming into our energy sector, will be investing. And remember he is one of the most powerful CEOs in the world. He wrote to us and said he was committed to partnering and investing in Trinidad and Tobago."
Persad-Bissessar said in addition to the arrival of Van Beurden, a US$1 billion investment will be made in this country following a contract between the Energy Ministry, National Gas Company (NGC) and Mitsubishi, to be established in La Brea.
"Again, where is the crisis, where you have such a large company signing to make an investment of over $6 billion in Trinidad and Tobago. And guess what, for you here tonight in Fyzabad, all of you in the South-West peninsula, that project is going to be in the La Brea Industrial Estate," she said.
Persad-Bissessar said this will equate to 2,000 construction jobs.
Rapid Rail more important!

Rotato, explain what you meant by "only make 24.2 mill for 2014"
The PM is not thinking. A roadway over the water from POS to Chaguaramas will not help ease traffic. Traffic will remain the same! One of the benefits of the rapid rail will help ease traffic as less people will feel the need to use their vehicles on the road. T&T has more than 700, 000 vehicles on the road at the moment.
I support the rapid rail. Once the rapid rail is implemented as another avenue for transportation there will be less cars on the road and less traffic.
« Last Edit: April 21, 2015, 10:55:35 AM by Sando prince »
less cars on the road and less traffic.
At least at the peak hours. But I see taxi drivers and the car dealers who import cars as the major stumbling blocks to RR.
PNM's proposal to alleviate our daily transportation woes. I support this.
https://www.youtube.com/v/S9KECyunSuU&feature=youtu.be
Another route is needed out of Chaguaramas. A few weeks ago...I spent 6 hours in stand still traffic for little to no reason. But I think I've heard this causeway plan before.....
There is no way the rate of building roads would keep pace with the rate at which cars come on the roads. Some years ago in school I read a study on Singapore's traffic management plan. The guiding principle was that you make public transportation convenient and readily available at all times while making having or driving your own car inconvenient.
So while the "causeway" would be a good idea, especially with that outlay needed to build it, I'd be in favor of it being a route that has a toll applied to it. One can encourage a park and ride system as well, but just building it wouldnt be as effective as it could be.
The rapid rail is a good idea in principle but the question is what happens to the maxis and taxis that ply the existing routes. Are the rails going to follow existing routes? I'd especially see this being applicable along the East West Corridor and Sando/POS. And probably in tandem with an expanded water taxi to Sando from Point Fortin.
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians who acknowledge Jesus ;with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.
It is obvious that taxi will have to adjust with the RR. They will, hopefully, be the feeder service to the trains. All these cars will not be heading to town to drop off people. POS is a bottleneck. Both the causeway and RR are some expensive projects., though. I see the RR are being able to serve the EW and NS corridors. Sando, Central, Grande, Arima, the Piarco airport. The causeway wil serve just that small area in the north west peninsula. I am not against it, but nationwide public transport is badly needed.

Many countries automatically increase tax on petrol (gas) each year in their budget. This creates a culture of only using cars when necessary. People learn to car pool and there is an increased demand for public transport.
In T&T, part of the cost of Rapid Rail could be recovered through reducing the gas subsidy. Incentives for newer maxis could be introduced and regulations introduced to test cars roadworthyness each year, to remove old, unsafe vehicles from the roads. Only licensed taxis should be allowed, painted in distinctive colours like maxis or New York or London cabs. (Yes, I know many people rely on this income, but many unlicensed "taxis" are not particularly safe.)
It would take some tough measures to reduce the number of cars on our roads, but unless we do something soon, we will face constant gridlock.
We MUST have a rail system and PTSC must be run as a business instead of a government charity. If you owned a bus company and the T&T national team were playing at Ato Boldon, first thing you would do would be to announce shuttles from Couva & Chaguanas to and from the game. PTSC are not in the business of business!!
mr greggle71
semi match fit
I drive from Arima to Port of Spain everyday and i work downtown, if there is a reliable train service available I will probably go from 5 to 1 day a week driving once the weather is good.
Longer lifespan for my car, i won't hesitate to buy property further east or south given the ease of commute.
This cannot come fast enough.

This has to be a real gradual thing (removing the subsidy). I remember the last time diesel was increased by 10% everything in Trinidad went up by 10 to 15%.
The distributers and manufacturers claimed a knock on effect from an increased cost in transport and passed it on to the public.
Now we have a little more competition in the marklet place but there are still big commodity controllers.
Trini1
It clearly cost them a great deal with the feasibility study so I know the present government is not going to go down that route but then again the opposition is saying that they will go forward with it if they regain power etc... but I don't see much else they can do other than to build a rail system to alleviate the congestion that is presently being experienced on the E/W corridor.
The PBR is jam packed so I'm not sure if buying more CNG buses is going to help if that's the option they are proposing.
Just my 2cents... If rapid rail was too costly then look into a light rail or possibly a light to medium capacity at grade metro system. For the metro it could be elevated at points along the route where it would be costly to acquire land.
Focus should be placed on the the EW corridor then MAYBE in the future the N/S. For now they can make do with the water taxi system as their alternative mode of transportation. If another pier is put up in central then buses and maxi's could feed passengers to those the terminals in south, central and town.
It's all about improving the flow of traffic/people along the entire corridor. Upgrading the CRH to a full grade separated freeway is all well and good and I applaud it but building more roads will not solve the problem either. There needs to be an increase in the use of a safe and efficient public transit system. That option must be available to the people if there is to be a decrease in car ridership.
I've seen mentioned in a newspaper a comparison by minister Cadiz with New York which is outrageous. A better comparison would be with Lausanne, Switzerland which has a population of ~ 300,000 and has a metro system or Rennes, France. Still a tricky comparison but much better in terms of scale. I believe the E/W has a population of ~ 600,000-700,000 so that's a good amount of people and if we could get at least 50% train ridership that could make a difference.
Buses could be used both on the PBR and separately to shuttle passengers to nearby stations in local communities.

Lol Deeks I sorta like transportation too much.
I see that. I myself have this love for trains. I live part of by boyhood in St.Joseph, Tunapuna and Five Rivers. I talking about the 60s. So we used the train on the EW corridor regularly. People used to take the train for granted. Lots of people did not used to pay. As this was more a communter rail than metro, people used to dodge the ticket guards to avoid paying. The TTR was losing money big time. But the rail service was already winding down while the Brits were still at home. Road transport was increasing. I was also told that the businesses that controlled the vehicular mode of transportation encouraged the then PNM govt to ditch the rail for bus and taxsi. Neal and Massey and Amalgamated were the big assembly plants. It created employment for plenty mechanics, welders, painters, upholsterers, electricians. I worked at PTSC assembley plant tool room, before coming up to the states. Then came Trinity motors and Amars motor empire. Cars, Cars, cars. That is how it ended up like this.

That's that history right there. Really like to hear about that man. Just wonder what things would be like had the trains remained. I've looked at some of the videos on YouTube I didn't dream of being born yet lol.
That's one of the reasons I'm hoping PNM comes into power- to see if they keep to their word and build this thing. My only hope is that they continue building the highway down south.
we had a train system and pnm took it away, so this is no new idea, the question is will they ever do it and talk is cheap...
if PP gets re elected they should build it or if the baliser boys and girls return, because the nation needs it and individual praise or praise for a certain party is not important, the citizens needed this a while ago...

The $400 million Curepe Interchange project is expected to start within the next 30 days, with Nidco choosing to jointly award the contract for the project to the two top bidders following a public falling out over the tendering process late last year.
Former junior minister in the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure Stacy Roopnarine had fallen out with her boss Dr Suruj Rambachan, after it was revealed then that local contractor, Lutchmeesingh Transport Company had been selected for the job though it ranked second in the tender screening process. It was revealed that first-ranked bidder Vinci Construction lost out because of its high costing for the mega-job.
The Sunday Guardian has since learned that though Lutchmeesingh was selected, Nidco-based engineers objected on the basis that the company's tender contained several shortcomings.
However, in fresh developments, Nidco has decided to award the project jointly to the two top bidders. "We are currently in negotiations with the first and second bidder," Nidco chairman Dr Carson Charles confirmed.
There is no word as to what prompted these fresh negotiations or who made the call to have the job shared between the two top-ranked bidders, but Charles confirmed that the project would be offered to both contractors, after months of the project being on hold and talks of quashing the bid and restarting the tender process.
Back in November, it was reported that the two top bidders had been rejected on the basis of price and expertise, respectively. Charles confirmed to the Sunday Guardian that Nidco's engineering team had found that several major items were not catered for in the tender submitted by Lutchmeesingh, leading to Nidco overturning that company's selection for the project previously.
Nidco had been reported then as weighing additional options to get the job done.
The tenure of Nidco's board ended in December 2014 and left the future of the Curepe Interchange in limbo. Charles had said then that he expected the project to be finalised and awarded by January 2015 but, almost six months later, the project remained stalled.
"We could not come to an agreement with Vinci Construction based on the cost of its tender and with Lutchmeesingh, the negotiation committee was not convinced that they had the ability to complete the job," Charles said.
"Quite frankly, there were three contractors selected and we were not satisfied with any."
Despite Charles' misgivings, the project is expected to come before the Nidco executive within the next month and awarded soon after.
"We are seeking to work out a solution so that we can use the specific expertise from both companies," Charles said.
The project is expected to be completed 18 months after it begins.
Key among the projects to be completed at a rapid rate is the now 50 per cent completed billion-dollar highway to Point Fortin. The Sunday Guardian has learned that Nidco is now in talks with all major road contractors, including Junior Sammy, Seereram Brothers and Lutchmeesingh, for them to work as a unit to complete the road works in conjunction with Brazil-based OAS Construction, which controls the project.
"So much is going on at Nidco," Charles said.
"We are currently in talks with the major contractors in the country to sub-contract the work on the Point Fortin highway and complete that project by next year," he said.
He said that Rambachan was expected to open a bridge in Claxton Bay today and has plans for another 20 bridges within the next few months.
Nidco has also started work on landslips around the country and has been given a five-year mandate to work on some 600 landslips, as well as several drainage projects under the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources.
Charles said another big project—the Diego Martin Interchange—was expected to be tabled soon.
"That project is currently at the design stage and is with the consultant," Charles said.
Charles said Nidco was also at the execution stage of the Port-of-Spain flood alleviation project which has been funded by the Inter-American Development Bank for well over half-a-billion dollars.

"'Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the desert, O house of Israel? You have lifted up the shrine of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.
"Our forefathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the desert. It had been made as God directed Moses, according tot he pattern he had seen. Having received the tabernacle, our fathers under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David, who enjoyed God's favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. But it was Solomon who built the house for him.
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he said this, he fell asleep. And Saul was there, giving approval to his death.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them. The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those seeking their destruction. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them. And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them. Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful.
The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them. In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. They also killed Parshadatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha, the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman. The Jews in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they put to death in Susa three hundred men, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were in the king's provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of them but did not lay their hands on the plunder. This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy.
I have to ask….Does anyone know what that bush is in the picture? I passed by it on the street and had to stop because the flowers were so fragrant.
I'm not sure of what they are, but they remind me of Oleanders (wikipedia: "Nerium oleander").
I don't even know how I know that. They look familiar to me. I think one of the homes I used to live in as a kid had them… my mother was big time into gardening, and she was always planting bushes, flowers, etc.
I did a quick Google Image search under the word "Oleander," and I found several photos that look quite a bit like your white flower photo at the top.
According to Google Image search for Oleander, they come in white, pink, and red colors.
I might be totally wrong about this, because I don't know much about flowers… which seems ironic, considering the fake screen name (Daisy) I've chosen to use on blogs, ha.
Anyway, I might be wrong about them being oleanders – but they look close to oleanders (IMO), whatever they are.You might want to Google Image them for yourself to compare and see.
Thanks for checking, Daisy! I'll have to look and may even consider if we have a good spot to plant one. They were lovely flowers.

What is Jamie Oliver's net worth, when did he marry his wife Jools and who are their kids?
JAMIE Oliver has been on a one-man mission to tackle childhood obesity with his quick, easy and healthy recipes.
Here's everything you need to know about the TV chef and his family.
Jamie Oliver, 43, is a celebrity chef and restaurateur from Clavering, Essex.
He left school at 16 to go and study at Westminster Catering College and later worked at the River Cafe in London.
In 1997 he featured in a documentary about the restaurant and as a result was given his own show The Naked Chef which ran for three series.
Jamie's profile grew and he launched his own recipe magazine, cooked at 10 Downing Street and became the face of Sainsbury's.
His innovative show Jamie's Kitchen was launched in 2002 and followed 15 disadvantaged youngsters as Jamie attempted to train them as chefs for his restaurant Fifteen.
In 2003 Jamie was awarded an MBE for his services to the hospitality industry.
In December 2018 he was slammed for agreeing to a £5million business deal with oil giant Shell after campaigning on climate change.
What's Jamie Oliver's childhood obesity campaign?
Jamie has been a long-term campaigner against childhood obesity.
In 2005 he introduced healthy low budget meals to schools on the Channel 4 documentary Jamie's School Dinners.
The result was that he got turkey twizzlers banned and launched the nationwide Feed Me Better campaign.
In 2018 he attended a hearing in the House of Commons with fellow chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
He urged MPs to introduce a tax on sugary milkshakes as well as putting a stop to cartoon characters promoting junk food.
He said: "I think Tony the Tiger feels pretty sorry for peddling unhealthy breakfasts for a long time. But I don't want to make him redundant. I want to promote him.
"If he wants to promote porridge, I'm all in."
Why was Jamie accused of 'cultural appropriation'?
On August 18, 2018 Jamie was accused of cultural appropriation by a Labour MP and social media users for his latest product - "punchy jerk rice".
Jamie responded to the backlash, telling Hello! magazine: "I've never written an authentic recipe in my life", adding "authenticity" is a word that should be used "very carefully as most of the things we love... are not what we think they are".
He also told Sky News: "I've worked with flavours and spices from all over the world my whole career, learning and drawing inspiration from different countries and cultures to give a fresh twist to the food we eat every day.
What TV shows has Jamie Oliver been on?
How many children does Jamie have and when did he marry Jools?
Jamie married his long-term love and ex-model Juliette "Jools" Norton in July 2000.
The couple have five children together and are known for the imaginative names they give their babies.
They are Poppy Honey Rosie, 16, Daisy Boo Pamela, 15, Petal Blossom Rainbow, nine, Buddy Bear Maurice, eight and two-year-old River Rocket.
The pair is planning to renew their vows as they approach their 20th year anniversary.
What is Jamie Oliver's net worth?
Jamie Oliver's net worth is reportedly over £240 million.
As well as his TV income, he has published several books and owns the chain Jamie's Italian restaurants.
Recently, the restaurant chain had to close 12 of its 35 locations as Jamie's Italian continues to struggle for cash.
Speaking to Mail On Sunday, Jamie explained that he has no more money to put into the business to keep it afloat after investing nearly £13 million of his own money.
He said: "I haven't got any more [money]. There's a point where I can't put the other side of the business at risk as well and the people who work there."
Jamie lives with his family in a £10 million property in Hampstead and a country house in his native Essex.
He had previously featured on the Sunday Times' Rich list but in 2018 he fell off the wealth list of Brits.
