In Gaza zoo, stuffed animals join live ones
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip There is an afterlife for animals at the Khan Younis zoo in the impoverished Gaza Strip.
Animals who die in the dilapidated park return to be displayed as stuffed creatures, giving visitors the unusual zoo experience of petting a lion, tiger or crocodile. But because taxidermy in the largely isolated Palestinian territory is not advanced and expertise and materials are in short supply, the experience can be grim.
Flies swarm around some of the 10 animals that have been embalmed so far. The makeshift cages housing the exhibits - fashioned from fencing salvaged from Jewish settlements that Israel dismantled in 2005 - are littered with empty soda cans and other trash.
An emaciated-looking stuffed lion, its coat patchy and mangy, lies on an exhibit cobbled together from crates and shipping pallets. A monkey had missing limbs. A porcupine had a hole in its head.
The zoo's 65 live animals, which include ostriches, monkeys, turtles, deer, a llama, a lion and a tiger, don't fare much better. During a recent visit, children poked chocolate, potato chips and bread through the wire. There's no zookeeper on the premises. Gaza has no government body that oversees zoos, and medical treatment is done by consulting over the phone with zoo veterinarians in Egypt.
Still, the zoo is one of the few places of entertainment here in Khan Younis, a city of 200,000 people at the southern end of the Gaza Strip. It's one of five zoos in the Gaza Strip, a densely populated coastal enclave of 1.7 million people ruled by Islamic Hamas militants.
Owner Mohammed Awaida said he opened the "South Forest Park" in 2007, only to lose a number of animals during Israel's military offensive against Hamas that began in December 2008. During the three-week offensive, launched in response to rocket attacks on Israel, Awaida said he could not reach the zoo, and many animals died of neglect and starvation.
"The idea to mummify animals started after the Gaza war because a number of animals like the lion, the tiger, monkeys and crocodiles died," he said. "So we asked around and we learned from the Web how to start."
Formaldehyde and sawdust provided the basic tools, though Awaida acknowledges he is no expert.
Gaza's zoos are used to resorting to odd ways to get by amid the territory's multiple woes. In 2009, a zoo in Gaza City exhibited white donkeys painted with black stripes to look like zebras because it was too expensive to replace two zebras who were neglected during the Israeli offensive.
Since Hamas violently took control of Gaza in 2007, Israel has blocked Gaza's ports, waters and all but one border crossing into Israel. Egypt has also restricted movement through its border crossing, meaning new animals must be smuggled at great expense through an elaborate network of underground tunnels on the Gazan-Egyptian border.
Awaida said all of his animals except the birds came through the tunnels.
Preserving dead zoo animals is not new to Palestinians.
In the West Bank city of Qalqilya, zoo veterinarian Sami Khader turned to taxidermy nine years ago when a giraffe named Brownie died during the second Palestinian uprising against Israel.

On November 30 the seventh Antarctic Ice Marathon will take place at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains. This year is also the 100 year anniversary of man reaching the South Pole.
To mark the occasion, we spoke to Tristan Miller, who spent the whole of 2010 following the marathon circuit. He ran a race every week in a different country. So that's 52 marathons in 52 weeks, 42 countries on 7 continents. Exhausted yet?
The Antarctic Ice Marathon was his 51st marathon, and here he tells us his story:
I'll never forget those first steps off the plane. The cold nabs you before the view does. Even with every layer on, it cuts right through and reminds you that Kansas is a long way off.
We were trucked to our "hotel", away from the wind and into a protected depression in the landscape. The hotel is actually a small tent city that surrounds some semi-permanent structures. We were told that you need to wee in the urinal and poo in the toilet separately. It took a while to get the idea, but apart from that it felt like a modern Inuit village.
It begins
There were 36 runners in my group. The race would cover a 25km circuit, followed by a 17.2km loop largely using the same track. We became acclimatised over a couple of days, but the sun just kept running its own track around our heads, never setting in summer. Sleep happened, but it felt like a nap and the tents became sweat boxes with the constant rays.
When race time came, I really felt like I'd entered a different reality. I mean, who the hell goes to Antarctica in the first place? Then, who the hell runs marathon in Antarctica? We were all whooping for the cameras as we took off, runners from all over the world realising their own dream.
Everyone ran with vigour, but a few short kilometres in and I was wheezing through my face mask. The air is pretty thin at the poles. I couldn't breathe, so started pulling my face mask down every few minutes to get some air into my lungs. But the air is so cold that it dries your throat and your chest starts to sting, so back on with the mask. Hmmm… difficult.
It's weird though, it seemed to me that the first 10kms went pretty smoothly. I was running with other people, we were all breathing hard and trying to find some rhythm on the ice, but you could feel the general excitement. Then it all just went wrong.
Trouble ahead
I couldn't breathe, my running became a trudge, I was overheating, then freezing, depending on my angle. I stopped at the aid station sleds, but don't remember anything apart from swallowing some warm liquid. I kept pushing and even passed a couple of people, wondering how I'd gotten so tired so quickly.
I completed my first loop, but this time I was running alone and started to really look at where I was. Within a kilometre I couldn't see the Station anymore, but the hills in front of me seemed to be slowly drifting further away. I saw the speck of another runner and just kept charging forward, counting off the little orange marker flags that appeared every 50 metres.
What was previously a race, became a solitary journey, surveying the only true wilderness I am ever likely to experience. It's more ice, more white, more rocks. There's no cities, no forest, no people.. There aren't any penguins or birds. There's only ice and cold and probable death. Life is tenuous here, but the views and the idea of Antarctica provokes adulation above the fear. It's the most beautiful, heart quickening place on the planet. You just can't stay too long to admire it.
The end is near
I kept running. The last few kilometres felt as though they would never end, though a small part of me wished they wouldn't. This was the pinnacle of my year away and perhaps my life. My perspective on the world had been shattered and I realised that most people would never understand the peace that Antarctica provides. I was disconnected from everything, pulling each ragged breath just to stay moving, struggling to follow a steady line home. I would probably never see this landscape again, but it's power was seared on my memory for life.
We celebrated at the finish line for a number of hours as each runner came home. The Union Station food is ridiculously good and we chowed down on lasagne and vegetables, drinking whatever looked like alcohol to cherish the experience we'd just had. Brett, a mad South African doctor, suggested a topless run. I ripped my top off, donned a Mexican wrestling mask and a wild, frosty sprint ensued. Of course I was the only one to fall flat on my face!
Would I go back? Absolutely. It's like seeing the gateway to a world of wonder, you just want more. Everyone deserves a least one grand adventure in their lifetime. If you're not sure where you'd go, then Antarctica is your answer.

Come Dine With Me For Kambia
18 November 2014
EBOLA UPDATE (as at 13 December, 2014)
There have been 96 confirmed cases of Ebola identified and 33 confirmed deaths from Ebola in Kambia District between 23 May - 13 December, 2014. In addition, there have also been 6 suspected and 9 probably deaths from Ebola in the District.
For further details about Ebola in Sierra Leone, see the Ministry of Health's dedicated webpage here.
The Kambia District Hospital remains open, but is running a limited health service. In October and November, 85% of the Kambia health staff were in quarantine.
We are in regular communication with our local project team at our Base in Kambia Town. Moses, Charles, Abass and Morlai are all currently safe and well.
The Kambia Appeal Trustees took the unanimous decision to withdraw our Long-Term Volunteer team in May. This was an extremely difficult decision for us to make, but being a small organisation, we believed that we could not provide the necessary logistical support to our volunteers if they were to contract the Ebola virus. Our grant programmes are now currently on hold until there is a clearer picture of how we can assist Kambia once the outbreak is declared over.
In the meantime, we are raising funds to support the work of the Kambia District Health Management Team. This includes funds to assist the outreach work of Community Health Workers undertaking house-to-house visits to promote good health practices and to protect families from Ebola.
Please consider making a donation to support this vital work via the online facilities below.
Become a monthly Kambia Fund supporter
Making a regular donation gives Kambia the foundation for a brighter, healthier future, and helps us plan our on-going support more effectively. Your support will enabled us to commit to long-term health projects that benefit and strengthen the whole community in Kambia.

It is here that we can find common ground with them. Many of us who love science would probably agree that one of its functions is to enable us to feel "at home in the cosmos", as theoretical biologist Stuart Kauffman of the University of Vermont in Burlington famously put it. Outsider physicists don't feel at home in a universe described by the tensor equations of general relativity or the gauge symmetries of string theory. They feel alienated by it.
While we may not agree with the answers outsiders give, none of us should be sanguine when some of the greatest fruits of science are unavailable to most of humankind.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources could raise a number of fees and make additional cuts as it tries to avoid a future shortfall in its special funds.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources could raise a number of fees and make additional cuts as it tries to avoid a future shortfall in its special funds.
DNR already faces a 13.5 percent cut in its overall spending in Gov. Pat Quinn's proposed budget for next year, and the department has cut a number of programs, including its Outdoor Illinois magazine.
Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley, and DNR director Marc Miller testified before a House committee Thursday that the agency will burn through its reserves and special funds this fiscal year.
Mautino and Miller said one approach DNR will take is to not follow a number of mandates. For instance, if the department eliminates meeting requirements for the Illinois Geographic Information Council and changes how it reports, Mautino said DNR will save about $200,000 a year.
"The next piece will be more difficult, and that will be fees that will allow for improvements, maintenance at our fisheries, our lands, those programs that protect air and water," Mautino said.
Rep. John Cavaletto, R-Salem, expressed concern that an increase in fees, combined with a proposal to charge admission to state parks, would be a "double whammy" for hunters and fishermen. Mautino is a co-sponsor of House Bill 5789, which would authorize state park entry fees. That bill is awaiting a House vote.
Miller said a lot of options are available.
However, both Miller and Mautino said time is a factor, because higher fees would have to be collected over a full year if they are to reduce DNR's expected shortfall.

2006 BMW 530i Q&A
2006 BMW 530i Question: Oil changed ,cannot reset service warning
Changed oil, cannot reset service warning - Visitor
Answer 1
This is for Push Button Start E60 models only Put the key in ignition. Leave the car in gear and push the "Push to Start Button" but only press it 1 time. Don't worry, car will not start. This is called position 15. All dash lights will light. Now push and hold the Odometer reset button. It will initially light up a warning triangle, continue to hold until the Oil can symbol lights up. The oil lamp should be the first to illuminate. For the oil reset, when the oil can illuminates, let go, then press and hold. After about 3 seconds a message saying "Reset?" will appear. When it does, let go of the button and press it again until the mileage indicator resets itself. That should do the trick, if for some reason you try this and doesn't work then I recommend taking it into a certified BMW shop/dealer and have them reset it for you. They shouldn't charge for a simple reset. - Cory Langner

3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Equally depressing, side-splitting and enraging, "The Queen of Versailles" is a documentary that shows what can go wrong when the "nouveau riche" try to be something they're not. It's a damning indictment of the more base facets of humanity that are regularly celebrated on reality TV shows where the rich, famous and clueless become media darlings and the envy of the great unwashed masses.
Starting out as an orange farmer, Floridian David Siegel pilfered a concept from a prospective business associate in the '70s and gobbled it up whole hog. He took the vacation timeshare concept and parlayed it into an empire. At its peak, Siegel's Westgate Resorts operated dozens of timeshare properties in the U.S. with more than $1 billion in annual earnings. Along the way, Siegel amassed many high-profile "friends" in the political, sports, financial and entertainment arenas, two ex-wives, a gargantuan ego and a garish mansion. Then came third wife Jackie.
A former beauty pageant winner from upstate New York, Jackie was a woman destined to become some vein rich guy's trophy wife. Born into a lower middle-class family but smart and savvy enough to land a job as a high-tech programmer, Jackie married then quickly divorced an abusive husband and parlayed her Barbie-Doll looks by wedging herself into high-end social circles that included men like David.
On screen, Jackie feigns that she played hard-to-get regarding David's advances, but it's clear she was aiming for a huge sugar daddy and she hit the mother lode. Some 30-odd years her senior, David fit the bill perfectly and the textbook May-December romance was launched.
Seven children (eight if you count a niece that Jackie -- as she puts it -- inherited), lots of Botox and breast augmentation surgeries later, the Siegel family was outgrowing their spread and needed an upgrade. Banking on a highly speculative future income via the timeshare business through a financial system that was giving money away to anyone who could fog a mirror, the Siegels started building their dream home (based on a palace in Versailles, France). It took up more than 90,000 square feet and would, when finished, be the largest single-family home in America.
Over the two years of filming, director Lauren Greenfield's project went from a chronicle of embarrassing excess and became a cringe-inducing riches-to-rags tale. The Siegels -- like a great many self-absorbed, freshly-minted celebrities -- relished the "dig me" aspect of starring in their own feature film and as such completely let their guard down; at least for a while.
In the opening scenes, Greenfield's camera pans the walls where images of the couple and their children have been augmented into paintings of royalty. The bright and bouncy Jackie -- always dressed as if she's going to an audition at a strip club -- chirps on endlessly about what's going into the new home. There will be two tennis courts, a baseball field, two bowling alleys, two health clubs, three swimming pools, a movie theater, a $250,000 stained-glass sky window and 10 -- that's right, 10 -- kitchens.
For his part, David rambles on about his political connections and states that he and he alone was responsible for George W. Bush's victory in the 2000 presidential election. When Greenfield presses him for details, he slowly demurs stating that that wouldn't be a good idea because it was "probably illegal." When asked why he's building such a huge home, he responds coolly with "because I can." Folks, you can't make this stuff up; it's priceless.
Going into further detail on what happens in the wake of the 2008 recession would be patently unfair to any interested viewers but it gets way ugly. No one should relish in the downfall of another person and thanks to Greenfield's emotionless, perfectly-balanced presentation, we actually feel somewhat bad but can't help but chortling repeatedly at how the Siegels mishandle their tumultuous economic spiral. It's a slow-motion train-wreck of epic proportions and try as you might, it will be impossible for you to look away for a second. (Magnolia)

Pilbara, Perth year nine students get a taste of Uni fun
Related areas
Plastering 'broken' fingers, kung fu, investing in property and shares, building a water filter and having a go at calligraphy are just some of the activities more than 550 year nine students are enjoying at The University of Western Australia this week.
From Perth and the Pilbara, the students from Aspire UWA's metropolitan partner schools, are also in the sixth annual Race Around Campus, an opportunity for them to explore the grounds, participate in hands-on action across a number of disciplines and engage in some friendly rivalry.
Of the seven activities running each day, three are run by student organisations, with student volunteers helping with the other activities. Aspire UWA's student ambassadors - current uni students - will accompany the groups as the make their way around campus, and share their stories of what life at UWA is like.
This year, regional students are taking part in Race Around Campus for the first time. Fifty-seven students from the six Pilbara secondary schools, in Perth for a three day camp, will join their metropolitan counterparts for one day of Race Around Campus. The Pilbara students will also climb Winthrop Tower, participate in a physics workshop and take part in a dance workshop run by the Ochre Contemporary Dance Company - company in residence in the UWA cultural precinct. To really experience uni life, the year nines are staying at Trinity College and will have lunch at University Hall.
Off campus, the students will visit Scitech, have some free time at shopping, and what is sure to be one of the highlights of the camp, an evening river cruise on the Swan River.
The Perth schools involved in Race around Campus are: Aranmore Catholic College, Balga Senior High School, Ballajura Community College, Belmont City College, Eastern Hills Senior High School, Ellenbrook Secondary College, Gilmore College, Girrawheen Senior High School, Governor Stirling Senior High School, Hamilton Senior High School, John Wollaston Anglican Community School, La Salle College, Lockridge Senior High School, Lumen Christi College, Mercy College, Mirrabooka Senior High School, Morley Senior High School, Swan View Senior High School.
The six Pilbara schools on camp are: Hedland Senior High School, Karratha Senior High School, Newman Senior High School, Roebourne District High School, St Luke's College, Tom Price Senior High School.
Aspire UWA encourages students to consider university as an option and to see the benefits and opportunities life can offer when you go to university. The Aspire UWA program is funded through the Australian Government, Department of Education, and in-kind support from The University.

The Federation of Farmers' Associations of Delta Districts has expressed "serious disappointment" over the Tamil Nadu budget.
Aarupathi P.Kalyanam, State general secretary of the federation, told The Hindu that six lakh farmers who have been left out by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in her announcement of compensation for delta farmers had been hoping to get some relief in the budget. Though the State government did mention these six lakh farmers in its submission to the Supreme Court as suffering serious loss due to drought, it did not bother to provide them anything. Adding insult to injury, while it initially said that the compensation announced was for 1.75 lakh farmers, the budget says the same amount is being distributed for 3.21 lakh agriculturists. "Thus there is nothing in the budget to mitigate the misery of the drought-affected farmers," he said. If the State government were to fail to come out with any relief announcements, it might trigger suicides once again in the delta region, he said.
Mr. Kalyanam said it had been the demand of farmers that agriculture should be allocated 20 per cent of the total budget. Of this, 10 per cent could be used for farmers' welfare and the rest for production. But hardly five percent has been earmarked in the current budget.
Above all, even the National Commission for Agriculture recommended as early as 2006 that 50 per cent over and above the cost of cultivation should be the minimum support price for various agricultural commodities. Then Ms. Jayalalithaa , who was in the opposition, endorsed this view. But this issue had totally been lost sight of in the current budget.
The State government's continued dependence on the revenue from liquor has ruined the rural economy and womenfolk are in tears, he lamented.

Clinton and Benghazi hearing
Clinton recited a litany of world change and its' expanding complexities intimating that the State Department was overwhelmed and underfunded. Depending on the question, Secretary Clinton pointed out that the Benghazi diplomatic mission was of strategic importance (as it was) while at other times it was just one of a hundred sites.
It is unclear what the goal of this congressional hearing was. These hearings were not structured for meaningful fact-finding interrogations. Roundtable questioners flitting from subject to subject, time constraints (find it all out in five minutes), no experts or peers at the table, e.g., the Joint Chief of Staff, CIA, FBI or witnesses, to keep the responses complete and accurate. Numerous answers were postponed delaying any timely conclusion.
It is four months since the terrorist attack and no meaning outcome is in sight. How can corrective action ever be taken if you can't define the fault(s)? – Herb Tuttle, San Diego
It matters that four Americans were murdered.
It matters that Barack Obama went to a fundraiser in Las Vegas while the Benghazi situation was still active.
It matters that Ambassador Susan Rice deliberately misled, or lied, to the American people about what happened.
It matters that the families of the four American dead cannot trust their government.
It matters that neither Hillary or Bill Clinton can tell the truth.
It matters that Hillary is unrepentant, petulant and does not have "presidential timbre." She pitched a hissy fit in front of the Congress and called it her "testimony."
Hillary for president in 2016? What does it matter? – Karl Higgins, Vista
Hilary made the illogical statement very passionately: Why bother finding out what happened, when we just want to prevent it from happening again?" But how can you prevent a repetition, if you don't know what happened? – Judith S. Rubenstein, University Town Center
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's initial acceptance of the "awful Internet video" as the provocation for the Benghazi murders is analogous to Manti Te'o's belief in his nonexistent woman friend.
Both Hillary and Manti wanted desperately to believe in their fiction. Manti's fantasy can be easily excused as the naiveté of a young person. Sixty-five-year-old Hillary's excuse is simply her wish to remain a viable candidate for office in 2016. – Jim Stieringer, La Mesa

Hermes posts record profit in 2012
popular .
PARIS—Luxury fashion group Hermes, known for silk scarves and handbags, reported on Thursday a record profit for 2012, confirming a stellar performance for France's luxury industry as a whole last year.
Net profit last year soared 24.5 percent to 740 million euros ($954 million), well above an analyst expectation of between 710 to 720 million euros.
Operating profit during the 12-month period rose by 26.4 percent to 1.12 billion euros when analysts had been expecting 1.09 million.
The company's operating margin ended the year at 32.1 percent and was the highest since Hermes, founded in 1837, went public in 1993.
In February Hermes, which makes the signature Kelly and Birkin bags, reported a 22.6-percent rise in sales last year to 3.48 billion euros ($4.66 billion).
The sales figure exceeded expectations by analysts who had foreseen a figure of about 3.42 billion euros.
Sales were boosted by activity in Asia where the company does most of its business and where it opened two new outlets, one in Taiwan and one in China. Hermes also enlarged six other outlets.
Sales in Asia rose by 28.6 percent and, excluding Japan, they rose by 36.2 percent, notably owing to demand in China.
In America, where the sales network was increased, sales rose by 22.5 percent.
The company said that it was optimistic about the outlook for 2013 but did not make any forecasts.
Sales at the company have doubled since 2008.
Last month, French luxury rivals LVMH and PPR also posted bumper profits for 2012.
Hermes and LVMH are locked in a bitter legal battle.
Since 2010, LVMH has slowly built up its stake in Hermes, despite bitter protests by the still family-dominated company. By the end of May 2012, the LVMH share of Hermes stood at 22 percent.
Resisting what it calls a hostile takeover by LVMH, Hermes has filed a legal complaint over the LVMH share-buying spree.
LVMH owns a stable of luxury companies including Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Moet and Chandon champagne.

Children learn how to be young lifesavers
Published at 16:30, Wednesday, 23 January 2013
PRIMARY school children as young as six have literally learned a skill for life after completing a Heartstart course.
South Walney Infant and Nursery School has so far trained 34 of its Year Two pupils in the basics of emergency life support.
Office manager Gail Scott said the school believed it was never too early to teach children what to do in an emergency.
She said the advice would help the children think clearly should they ever come across someone bleeding, choking, unconscious or having a heart attack.
"It was just something that we thought we'd like to teach the children," she said. "It's quite basic, but will help them to know how to deal properly with various situations.
"It's a half-hour session, because that's long enough for them during their lunchtime, and they really take it on board.
"After they've done the session they're really excited about it as I think it empowers them because if they do come across a situation like that, they know what to do."

On behalf of the hundreds of interested people whom I have had the pleasure of working beside on the protest to what we define as an assault on the people of New Mexico, I would like to thank Attorney General King and his office, and the New Mexico Supreme Court for taking legal action against Public Land Commissioner Patrick Lyons and his office.
This is in response to the letter to the editor, "No quick extraction" by Paul Anthony Maes (Dec. 18.) If you are or were ever a firefighter, you would know that the police dispatcher of the Las Vegas Police Department is the one who dispatches the fire truck. You would also know that when the fire department receives the call of distress from the police dispatcher, the firefighters have to gear up, which by the way is set for the fastest possible time by the way the gear is laid out by the responders' unit.
As a guide/outfitter, sportsman, recreationalist, land grant heir, and "Norteño" in northern New Mexico, I depend on the nearby wild and undeveloped public lands for the welfare of my business and my family's well-being. Having public land available to hunt, fish and hike on is the foundation of my livelihood. That's one reason I feel strongly about the need to protect the Whites Peak land swap that is taking place just north of Ocate in Mora County.
I attended the New Mexico Highlands University Master Plan public meeting on Jan. 27 with several of my neighbors, including the Cordovas who have lived in their home next door to me for over 50 years. Highlands presented three Master Plans (A, B, C) at its previous public meeting in the spring of 2009. Plan B involved demolishing our homes for a parking lot.
We were amazed last year when the state announced that Sierra Vista Elementary School was No. 40 on the state list for demolition. Recently, officials announced that the school is now at No. 14.
And Sierra Vista is only a little more than 20 years old.
Whatever way you cut it, the taxpayers have been failed if a relatively new building needs to be leveled. Officials say a leaky roof has caused deterioration to the building.
Several people commented on the piece about the demolition of Mortimer Hall, the Highlands building at Eighth and National that was cleared to make room for a new student center. In that building, as mentioned in a previous column, was "The Door." On it I kept humorous headlines from various newspapers.
In one move around Mortimer Hall, it was easier to move the entire door to a new location than to apply an Exacto knife to remove the clippings. But let's be clear: The door was of the standard institutional variety, and it held up pounds of profundity.
This is my second letter to the Optic regarding (online reader comments) about Phil Warfield (Re: front-page story on Jan. 29). The first was Jan. 30 sent by the Postal Service and today, Feb. 2, sent by e-mail.
A disturbing proposal came before the Farmington City Commission last week, and after reading about it in an Associated Press report, our first thought was that some sort of white supremacy group had infiltrated that city. Our knee-jerk reaction was that it only goes to show just how far we have to go to achieve equality in our nation. But our second thought was that perhaps this little news item is a good opportunity to reflect on just what equality is, and how it's achieved.
