Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
Militant Website, via Associated Press
Sunni militants led by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, declared a caliphate that stretches across eastern Syria and much of northern and western Iraq. It also demanded that all Muslims swear allegiance to its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
ISIS, which calls itself Islamic State, has seized the world's attention — most recently with the beheading of American journalists James Foley and Steven J. Sotloff – and increased pressure on President Obama to respond.
Its brutal tactics alienated it from the Syrian rebel movement, and it was officially disowned by Al Qaeda in February. For the moment, Al Qaeda has lost ground, but the question remains: Will this new group endure?

Smelter Acquisition,
Wayzata Investment Partners,
Chapter 11,
CHICAGO Bankrupt aluminum producer Ormet Corp. says it could be forced to liquidate if its sale to an entity owned by private investment firm Wayzata (Minn.) Investment Partners LLC is not approved. Since Ormet filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Feb. 25, energy costs have risen and market conditions have worsened, an attorney representing the company said in court documents filed May 17 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. That means the Hannibal, Ohio-based company could face significant liquidity issues as early as mid- or late July 2013, they said. Ormet lost more than $41.8 million from January to April 2013, according to court documents filed in Delaware bankruptcy court May 20. The aluminum producer last generated positive cash flow from operating activities in the first month of the year. Since then, the company has seen losses balloon from approximately $12.6 million in the month of February to nearly $17.4 million in April, according to the May 20 court documents. ....

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) --They won't be "kicking the can down the road" at the Kalamazoo County Board. Newly reelected Board Chair Dave Maturen has taken a standard 16-ounce tin can, slapped a County Logo on it and plans to perch on his desk at every meeting as a reminder.
"Kicking the Can" is one of those phrases that Lake Superior State would like to ban, which has just become more overused now that Congress has voted to put off the debate on budget cuts for two months.
The new 11-member Kalamazoo County Commission met for the first time last night to get organized for the new year and their new terms in office.
Vice Chair David Buskirk was also reelected to serve another year. Buskirk says State and Federal officials could also learn how democrats and republicans can work together by observing their board. Maturen is a republican and Buskirk is a Democrat.

CHICAGO, IL - JUNE 10: The Groupon logo is engraved in a glass office partition in the company's international headquarters on June 10, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. Groupon, a local e-commerce marketplace that connects merchants and consumers by offering goods and services at a discount, announced June 2 that it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock. The company, launched in Chicago in November 2008 now markets products and services in 43 countries around the world. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
Well, you can say this much about Groupon: Regardless of what's going on with its stock the company isn't interested in maintaining the status quo. Although its rapid expansion might be the cause of many of the company's problems, the word bubbling up over the weekend is that Groupon is gearing up to launch in Thailand -- the preferred vacation spot for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel -- next year.
The Next Web -- home to our very own Inc. Well contributor Alex Wilhelm -- did some excellent sleuthing and unearthed these listings on Thai Groupon Ltd.'s job board for copywriter/content developers and account executives and also speculated that "if Groupon's hiring is indeed that advanced, then the service may roll out in early 2012."
Finally, two more Wall Street analysts have rendered their opinions on Groupon, and their judgments are par for the course: One's for it, the other's against it. Exciting stuff. Seriously, though, the most interesting stuff on Castle Groupon seems to be coming on anywhere but the analysis -- its IPO has gone from a fantasy to a reality to a thing of the past. Groupon's charting a course for the future, and that's what's more interesting at the moment.

The Word: Lindsay Lohan will definitely not be in Ben Affleck's movie
Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab. She looks healthy. She's got a spring in her step. Time for her to resume being a movie star, right? Well, maybe.
Rumors surfaced recently that Lohan was being considered for a role in Ben Affleck's upcoming film "Live By Night." However, a source on the production denies that the role has been cast — and says there's no way Lohan will land it.
"It's not true," the source told Us Weekly. "First off, no one has been cast. [Lohan] will not be cast in any role in the movie. She is not being considered for any role in the movie. She won't be in the movie."
Man, how many ways can one anonymous source say "no"? It's like a reverse Bloody Mary. Deny her 50 times or she will appear.
The troubled star finished her court-ordered 90-day stay in rehab this week, and rumor has it that this time it just might stick. Sources close to Lindsay told TMZ they're "shocked" at the change in her attitude, adding, "It's like invasion of the body snatchers. She's a different person."
Whoever snatched Lindsay's body is taking good care of it: She's reportedly requested a three- to four-day stay in a sober living facility after her exit from rehab. After that, sources say she plans to move back to New York, and that while scared of the temptations here, she's ready to face them. She can come hang at my place if she gets tempted. I'm working my way through "The Wire."

Thank you Kay !!
Natalie...Ikr, drives me a little batty !
Results are in...beta is still going up. Last Friday it was 1273 and today it is 2738. They scheduled another u/s and beta for Monday. I'm posting my vent about this in the loss forum if you care to read the ravings of a crazy woman .
Had a huge scare this afternoon. I was on my lunch break at work and texted my friend who was watching DS today (nanny asked for the day off) to check in on DS. She said he was doing fine and slowly eating his lunch, as were her two kids. Fifteen minutes later she texts me again and asks how much I usually feed DS since he just threw up everywhere. I called her immediately and asked what he had for lunch. She fed him a peanut butter and honey sandwich, and DS is allergic to peanuts. Now, she has been around DS a million times and knows he has this allergy, but I didn't remind her today of it. She just forgot about it when she fed the kids. His allergy was not severe enough to require an epipen but she had to give him Benadryl from his bag. I rushed out of work and drove like a crazy person to her house. DS was acting completely normal but sounded weird. I called the pedi and he made me bring him in right away. They checked his oxygenation, and it was fine and his heart rate was fine, so no ER trip for us. We now have to carry an epipen because he had such a strong reaction today.
I've never been so scared in my life. So thankful that my little boy is okay!
OMG, Jen. So glad your DS is ok! Peanut allergies are serious, and scary! I bet your friend felt awful. What a stressful day! Cuddle your little one extra close tonight.
Rachel...awwww!!!! That is so fun! Praying the clomid side effects go mia today so you can totally enjoy Ava's special day (((hugs)))!!!
My levels are going up because I either have an ectopic (less likely) or blighted ovum where the baby stopped developing early on but the gestational sac continues to grow. They just want to make sure there's nothing in my tubes before doing anything (even though I had a gestational sac in utero they couldn't see my left tube and ovary because of the position of my uterus so they want to be certain).
I'm feeling much better about everything today...deciding to enjoy my weekend .
Kelly, I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you get answers soon!
AFM, DS seems to be doing fine this morning. DH took him to kiddie soccer and then we're leaving for a wedding and spending the night at my aunt's for Mother's Day tomorrow. We're going with the whole family (including my parents and grandma) up to a winery & vineyard in the footballs for Mother's Day brunch. It's located in an old gold mining town we used to visit as a kid. I haven't been there in years but I'm looking forward to it. Too bad I can't have any wine since I'm in the 2WW. Oh well, going to enjoy the scenery, food, and company
Jen...I'm so glad to hear ds is doing better today!! I hope you have a fantastic time this weekend with all of your activities!!!
Rach...I love it!!! It's too cute...so creative! I love that book too .
Dh and I are getting the supplies to landscape today or tomorrow..eek, so excited to liven up the front of our house!
That's so cute Rach!!
Mariah (35) and DH (40) BFP 8/12/13! Baby Kayla is here! Praying for all the APA girls .
Gator I am glad everything is okay with him. That sounds terrifying!.
Mariah (35) and DH (40) BFP 8/12/13! Baby Kayla is here! Praying for all the APA girls .
Thanks Mariah ! I think my numbers are way too low to get my hopes up though...should be triple what they are now just to make it to the low end of the normal range for 8wks .
My temp is way down today...yay ! I'm leaving here tomorrow at 8:30am for my u/s and beta...hoping for closure so we can move forward.
Kelly, sorry this has been going to roughly for you, hope everything goes well today. My thoughts are with you.
Jen, that its super scary!! Glad your ds us okay!
Afm: not feeling great today, my allergies are driving me nuts as well as yesterday I had a horrible headache that i couldn't shake, ended up taking 1 Advil because nothing else had worked. Although, I feel rather guilty about it because I know ibuprofen is a no no for TTCers.
My tummy is still kind of upset but not bad like it was, I think it's stress related. Ugh.
Hope you ladies are doing well
Ok here it is...silk dress to flowy top refashion. It was...intense. The silk was so thin but there were two layer with the lining. I had a zipper to deal with and wound up redoing the side panel about 3 times, but I'm pretty happy with it. The front could be shortened but I'm going to leave it for now...
Thinking about making a scarf out of the bottom half.
So in trying to decide if I should count what I had this week as a period... It was barely a day... I spotted once and used 1 tampon... I'm normally a 5 to 7 day with a moderate amount of bleeding...
Would you call it your period?
Fingers crossed for you this cycle Rach
Jessie--I don't think I would either, ask your doc if they want you to go ahead and do the provera.
Rach--LOL, that is the way it goes right! :fingercrossed: that you have will have that kind of luck
AFM--I've had sustained high temps the last 3-4 (didn't temp yesterday) days. So I'm just wondering what this week will look like in my chart. Will it stay up, will it go back down? Will it mean something, will it be a blip?
Jen-I'm soo glad your son is doing better!
Jessie- I hope your body will start cooperating with you I know it must be frustrating!
Geneari- that's pretty!
Rach- I hope you get your BFP!
Butane- hope your allergies are better today!! I know the feeling cuz I have terrible allergies and have a hard time finding meds that work and way harder to during the TWW
Ember...ack, allergies are so crummy ! I hope they ease up soon or you're able to find some relief (((hugs)))!
Natalie...looooove the shirt!! It turned out wonderfully! I hope your chart is indicating a turn for the better!!!
Jessie...ugh, so sorry your body isn't cooperating ...so frustrating (((hugs)))! I hope you get a *definite* af soon.
Rach...lol, I hope the new clothes "jinx" you into pg this cycle !!!
Afm...u/s showed no gestational sac anywhere but I haven't had any significant cramps, haven't passed any tissue, and my cervix is closed so it all comes down to the numbers. The dr said she expects them to have decreased since she didn't see anything on the u/s but if they haven't then "that's another issue". I didn't ask what that meant because I'm sure they'll tell me if it happens. So back to waiting for at least a few more hours.
Edit: taking the opks out, it gave me broken CH on Thursday like you said. I put them back in temporarily while I consider whether to keep them or not.

Kelly- praying for you!! I'm sure this waiting must be hard and aggravating! ((Hugs)) also I know it's probly crazy of me not to know but what does "afm" mean? Lol :-/
Anyway I have been looking up things today and I am really wondering if I may have kinda low progesterone 😕 so I'm considering getting OTC natural progesterone cream cuz I can't afford to get tested by a dr right now

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. envoy for Syria says he doesn't expect a political solution to emerge anytime soon for the country's civil war.
Lakhdar Brahimi (LAHK'-dar bra-HEE'-mee) spoke in Geneva, where he spent the day at the U.N.'s European headquarters, meeting with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and his Russian counterpart.
The five hours of talks ended without any apparent deal. It was Brahimi's second meeting in two months with the U.S. and Russian officials, who each left without making any public comments.
Russia has joined China in blocking several Security Council resolutions aimed at putting pressure on Syria's Bashar Assad. But recently, top Russian officials have signaled that they are resigned to seeing Assad eventually lose power.
Brahimi says he and the U.S. and Russian diplomats "all stressed the need for a speedy end to the bloodshed."

Netflix's worst nightmare comes true
Amazon has signed a content deal significant enough to challenge Netflix for subscribers. And that's not even the worst of it.
By Richard Saintvilus
I'm now midway through watching the second season of "The Office." In two days, I've been able to watch almost two years of shows.
This would not have been possible had it not been for streaming movie giant Netflix (NFLX). The ease with which the service makes television shows that were old new again is certainly Netflix's best quality to the consumer.
For investors, however, the question is how much worse things can get.
Retail and tech giant Amazon (AMZN) has just signed a content deal significant enough to challenge Netflix for subscribers. Yet that's not even the worst of it.
The deal, announced last week, is with premium TV joint venture Epix, bringing content to Amazon's Prime Instant Video streaming service. Though the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is said the partnership will bring popular hit movie titles such as "Hunger Games," "Thor" and "Iron Man 2" to Amazon's streaming offerings.
What this means is exactly what many Netflix investors had feared would have occurred -- no more exclusivity.
What was once originally a five-year deal, of which two were exclusive, has lapsed. Now enters Amazon.
But what is Netflix thinking? This continues the streak of yet another misstep for the struggling movie giant, which has seen its stock price erode during the course of the year. Several weeks ago, as the stock traded just above $80 per share, I asked whether the company can stay afloat and survive the unrelenting assaults from Amazon, cable giant Time Warner (TWX) and Coinstar (CSTR) (Redbox).
While it may have been able to avoid death by those three, the story changes when one considers Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) have TV and potentially movie plans of their own. What are the odds that Netflix will survive a living room revolution unlike anything the market as ever seen?
I still maintain that a takeover is its best option. Outside of that, there is no chance Netflix will survive.
By having allowed Amazon to forge a deal with Epix, does Netflix truly appreciate the dire situation it's in? It is as if it no longer values its streaming content -- the same reason it opted to ignore its once-popular DVD model. Now it does not appear to want to protect that decision.
Even worse, during its second-quarter earnings report, Netflix said that although it expects to remain profitable in the third quarter, it is forecasting a loss for the fourth quarter due to international market expansion.
So essentially, the company has, for all intents and purposes, killed off its DVD business, allowing Amazon to chip away at its streaming division by losing exclusivity, but somehow thinks international expansion in Latin America and continental Europe is worth a fourth-quarter loss.
It would stand to reason that a change in focus would be the wise decision until Europe gets its act together. At least that would be the option for a smart management team. However, no one has ever accused Netflix of having one.
I would stay away from the shares until things get more clear in terms of the company's strategic direction. Until then, there is only one direction the stock will go and that is down -- affirming that things can indeed get worse.
More from TheStreet.com
The problem is availability of movies and some have started to complain about delays in DVD's for popular titles from Netflix. For me Netflix business model is broken. Unless all you care about is watching reruns what else does Netflix streaming provide? I would have much rather have Netflix raise streaming only service to a higher level by increasing rates a bit and offering more recent titles. Yet Netflix raised DVD rates which everyone knows is a dying service anyway.
I think Netflix also lost a lot of people when Starz dropped Netflix too. Red box for me is certainly not the answer but it is for some and their are people who simply cannot afford broadband cable. When you consider streaming you have to include that cost. Amazon is doing what Wal Mart did to retail. Offer several services and products all in one place and give discounts. The Amazon Prime program is something that works for people. Eventually Netflix will get bought out but probably by a satellite or cable provider. Oh the irony of that.
I don't even watch cable anymore due to the lack of quality programming. If I want to watch something, it's usually going to be on Netflix. I imagine there are quite a few people who do the same, so I think Netflix will continue to survive for many years and will probably outlive their competitor's attemps to steal their customers.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Once you figure in the 'fuel cost' of driving to the Redbox kiosk....then adding the 'return' fuel cost (if that is you make it the following day, thus not incurring 'late fees')...kinda makes the overall costs for Redbox movies quite a bit more than walking out to your mailbox and getting your Netflix disc... Duh! Not to mention, a few times when I did drive to a Redbox Kiosk....they didn't have the movie I wanted.
I agree with 'anthony s' on this one...whoever wrote this column....probably has stock in one of Netflix's competitors...or even more likely, Amazon.
I've been with Netflix from the beginning and love it. What I don't quite understand is the hate - why does most of America love to see people/companies fail?
Even with T-Useless, Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T seemingly having a strangle hold on the cellphone market I see competetors starting up all over my city, such as BoostMobile.
There's room for everyone. IT'S called Capitalism.
Hell, if AOL is still around and Facebook can show it's face with its current stock price - there's hope for any company.
Are you really this stupid? I personally have three premium streaming services. Netflix has movies that Amazon doesn't have. Amazon has movies that Hulu doesnt have. All three of my streaming services cost less than a cable or satelite bill multiplied by two. Did Showtime put HBO out of Business? How Stupid is this fool anyway?
I suppose this is just a sign of the ignorance of people in general. Most actually believe that when a company has an operating cost increase, they simply cut their bottom line and obsorb the cost. This is not and has never been the case. Take a basic economics course and you will find that increased operational costs are almost always passed along to the consumer.
Amazon prime isn't the same as Netflix. Clearly I chose to have both and I see the differences.
1. Amazon charges for shows that are free on Netflix in some cases.
2 Amazon does offer a variety of show that netflix doesn't have, but Netflix has stuff Amazon doesn't have too for free viewing.
3.Amazon is $80 and Netflix is $96 yearly, which to me is a close price match.
I use Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. I like Amazon Prime because free two shipping and free Kindle books. The video is just a benefit add to me because I use Hulu thru my computer for free and Netflix on the computer and TV. I can simply plug my laptop into my TV and watch hulu for free on there as well.
There is also Crackle and many other options out on the web, so I don't miss the cable. I'll stay with Netflix for now it beats having a 70+ dollar a month cable bill for TV. Tme Warner isn't a threat yet, but they could be a good challenger if they decided to come on in the TV streaming business.

LOVE it! These are super adorable. Cutest bubble idea I think I've ever seen, and I'm very happy with them. I do not know if they're easy to open and reclose, as I haven't used them yet, but I'm sure it'll be fine for it's purpose. June 13, 2014
VERY CUTE These are very cute and different & everyone loved them :) February 25, 2014
Great conversation piece with great detail We were looking for different things to use for our wedding. The regular, plain old bubbles wouldn't cut it. I was so excited about the quality of the container. They didn't look like cheap bubbles, and the kids absolutely LOVED them. I was surprised at the fine details on the bottles. They're really cute, and they actually look like the picture. May 18, 2012

Why can't i buy issue 24 here or on itunes? It's hardly new and it's stopping me catching up. I also can't buy issue 11 of GUardiAns of the galaxy. What the hell?!
I've read the first comic of this, and I feel like I'm going to love this!
I love this series!
Ok is it just me or is it impossible to find the new Cyclops series on this website anymore? I've searched under every variation of the name I can think of and can't find even issues #1 and #2, let alone the release date for #3.
when are you guys goin to come out with a new x-men series for tv like you did with avengers and spiderman ?????? i still love to watch the old series to this day!!!
Why can't I read #19-26?
What's going on with jumping from issue 15 to 18? Are those going to be added later or somethin?
Good Morning and Merry Whatever Holiday you follow...
The Marvel Unlimited subscription skipped over All-New X-Men #12.
We go from #11 to #13 and I was very much looking forward to #12. Can this be fixed please? Is there a "contact us" link somewhere on this page that I am missing?
Why did they dump the classic uniforms? On the plus side, now almost every hero has mandarin collars, knee/elbow/shoulder pads, and lots of piping and seams. I guess the artists find the simple suits too boring.
@monke04 Because new issues are not automatically added to Marvel Unlimited. Issues seems to be added to Marvel Unlimited about half a year after the publication date. I checked four issues (of this series) and the number of days it took for it to be available on Marvel Unlimited were 173, 173, 180 and 180.
You will see a small U in the corner of those magazines that are available, and you can also filter Marvel Unlimited issues on the top of the page to browse issues.
@lespaulphoenix issues 16 & 17 can be read in the Battle of the Atom story line event
I mean are issues 16 and 17 going to be added later?
My bad... If you need it, can contact web admin here: http://marvel.com/help/category/17/topic/32
@bbrewe01 I think their trying to push the Ultimate style into the main universe.
Thank you!

A man is arrested after allegedly being found inside a business that was not open at the time. Around 6:30 Tuesday morning, El Paso County Sheriff's Deputies went to the business on the 12900 block of Alameda Ave. Deputies say an employee heard noises in the rear of the business and had seen Gabriel Hernandez inside the store before business hours.
According to Hernandez, he used the restroom at the business before and fell asleep and didn't realize he was locked in until the following morning. Hernandez stated he also did not want to go home. Hernandez was also found in possession of marijuana less than two ounces.

-- Robert Preidt
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have
identified a gene mutation that may offer a target for new
treatments for a type of lymphoma.
The team found that a mutation of the MYD88 gene is one of the
most frequent genetic abnormalities in patients with this cancer,
known as large B cell lymphoma.
The MYD88 gene encodes a protein that is crucial for normal
immune response to invading microorganisms. The mutation identified
in this study can cause uncontrolled cellular signaling, resulting
in the survival of malignant cells.
A subgroup of the large B cell lymphoma that has a dismally low
cure rate -- known as the activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype --
appears particularly susceptible to the gene.
Lymphoma is a cancer of the blood that starts in white blood
cells. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma, in turn, is a type of
non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in which white blood cells known as
lymphocytes multiply out of control. There are three subtypes of
diffuse large cell lymphoma: Patients with the ABC form have the
lowest rate of three-year survival, with only 40 percent reaching
that milestone.
The researchers, led by scientists at the U.S. National Cancer
Institute (NCI), found that the mutant form of MYD88 allowed the
ABC lymphoma cells to survive but the non-mutated version did
One more piece of the puzzle was unraveled through another
cell-signalling protein called IRAK4. The researchers found it
functioned as an enzyme to modify a substance called IRAK1, which
was required for the mutant MYD88 protein to promote lymphoma cell
"We believe the results of this study may provide a method to identify patients with the [ABC subtype] whose tumors may depend upon MYD88 signaling," study author Louis M. Staudt, of NCI's Center for Cancer Research, said in an NCI news release.
These patients, he said, may thus benefit from therapies
targeting "regulatory pathways that sustain the survival of these
lymphoma cells."
The study appears online Dec. 22 in the journal

MFA Audition Preparation
For MFA Acting Auditions:
Acting is rooted in several fundamental principles that provide for emotional truth on the stage. We seek actors who can truly listen to their partners and be alive and "in the moment" on stage. Because it is difficult to tell from a monologue whether an actor possesses these qualities, we prefer to see the actor in both a contemporary scene and a classical monologue.
If, due to extraordinary circumstances, you are unable to audition at one of our initial audition dates, we accept videotaped auditions. However, we strongly recommend auditioning in person. Video auditions must follow the stated guidelines exactly. Please contact our Office of Admission to request a video audition and video guidelines.

Tuli was amazing, one of the most magical places I have ever been to. Stuart was terrific and I learnt so much there. A big thank you to all.
All of us who work in some of the finest zoological parks and institutions still yearn to experience the splendor and glory of our charges in the wild. My adventure with African Conservation Experience was everything I had hoped it would be and more. In retrospect, I would have paid three times the fee asked of me. I felt the conservation knowledge and life experiences I received working alongside professionals in the field were priceless.
career breaks & volunteer holidays
Volunteering can be an excellent opportunity for a career break abroad or a very different holiday - it allows you to experience a completely different way of life while applying your skills to a worthwhile cause.
"I loved my time in South Africa! First hand experience of working on a game reserve - from darting animals to clearing swathes of bush by hand - was great! The experiences provided exactly the invigorating contrast to regular office/desk-based life that I was looking for, and a great insight to conservation work... I certainly haven't rushed back to quit my job, pack up and ship out, but it's been a great step back from day to day life and a chance to take stock of my objectives and priorities. I'd recommend a career break to anyone who gets the chance - but you may find 3 months isn't enough!" Pippa Goodman
What is a Career Break or Sabbatical?
A career break or sabbatical lets you take an extended leave from work - usually 2-6 months - with the option of returning to your previous position at the end of it. Some employers offer a career break or sabbatical scheme as a general perk to employees, or as a way of dealing with a situation of being temporarily overstaffed. Other employers offer it on the condition that employees use the sabbatical to gain new skills and further personal development. If your employer does not yet offer a career break or sabbatical scheme, it is always worthwhile suggesting it!
Why volunteer during a career break?
Many people opt to take a career break to get a fresh perspective on things and volunteering abroad can open your eyes to a completely different way of life. Compared to just taking a two week holiday, a sabbatical affords you the time to experience a country "from the inside". Volunteering lets you do just that by becoming directly involved, working alongside local people and making a valuable contribution. Volunteering in your career break can present you with rewarding challenges, as you adapt to a new environment and learn skills you would never have imagined.
Which projects are suitable?
African Conservation Experience work with a range of different projects amd most of them are good options for a career break abroad or a volunteer holiday. What it really comes down to is what you are looking for. If you are just looking for a "holiday with a difference" rather than an extended volunteering experience, you could sign up for a two week Game Ranger Guide Course or Wildlife Tracking Course. The courses are also an excellent way to start an extended experience at one of the other projects - they'll give you a fantastic foundation knowledge which will enrich your further experience.
For longer volunteering breaks, you could join any of the wildlife management, wildlife care & rehabilitation or marine conservation projects. The projects all vary in their set up and living conditions - some of them can be quite rough and basic. If this is an important consideration for you, chat to one of our team about what your needs and expectations are and we'll advise you on which project we think would suit you best.

Is that genuinely the album title?
Written by IronAngel on 19.10.2013 at 23:03
The album title may not be that clever or tasteful, but I do get the point. They want to underscore that this is the state of the band today, the 2013 version of Turisas. It's not very good, but I don't think it's terrible. The album is, though.

Shits so modern #Turisas2013 #VARANGIANswag #NoGoodStory
Written by WinterMadness on 04.11.2013 at 18:10
I think the title Turisas2013 is a satire on how important issues of today are reduced to sound bytes and hashtags. They' know that no matter what they call the album, and no matter how deep the title is, the record company and people are just going to promote it with something trite like #Turisas2013, so they cut out the middle-man.
Every new release from a band pisses off a few fans. Everyone has a point where a band isn't "tr00" enough for them.
In my opinion, while this album may not quite be "battle metal" anymore, it's still 100% Turisas.
There are folk metal fans and there are Turisas fans; the former group will bitch and moan and move on to the safer, more predictable waters of bands who put out the same album every 2 years, while the latter group excitedly awaits what Turisas has in store next.
I love folk metal, and I love Turisas. Just because those two things aren't found in the same band anymore doesn't mean I'm going to stop listening to them.
