But how?
That's where Nick and Leo come in handy. Those two are the best friends of Damien and surely, they knew what was going on. Leo's comment had made that clear. But now I had my chance of convincing them into telling me what was really the matter.
Squishing and pushing my way through the swarm of students, I steered myself towards the cafeteria to check if the two were there buying food. Being a large one at that, it took me a while to search through the area but the two were no where to be found.
I didn't have much of an appetite and so continued my search. The second place was my bingo.
Sitting under the shade of the same tree they'd been at the last time, they were picking at the food on their trays, not even putting a piece of the pasta into their mouths.
"It's over you two. Spill the beans," I said, plopping down opposite them. They looked at me and smiled wryly. "We're sorry May but we can't," Nick said hesitantly.
"We'd be disrespecting Damien's privacy," Leo clarified on his friend's behalf.
"No," they both said firmly and at the same time.
"Fine," I muttered, knowing there was no way of getting through to these two. I'd just have to figure out what the deal was with Damien on my own.

Thank you for all that you do for the community! You guys always help where you can and do an amazing job with it.
There was a gentleman that suffered from a stroke and it has effected his arm in a terrible way. A friend called Access Partnership for him and they had the proper equipment he would need to ensure his arm was given the support it would need. Thank you again Access!
Over the weekend an elderly gentleman's house caught fire and he lost everything. Besides memories and personal belongings, he also lost his oxygen concentrator and was unable to get another one from his insurance company until a sufficient amount of hoops are jumped through. Access Partnership was able to provide him with that oxygen concentrator so at least it was one less thing he had to worry about while dealing with such a tragedy.
I am so excited that I found an organization that believes in giving back to the community. Access Partnership consists of genuine people that do whatever they can to help those in need. I highly recommend anyone with medical needs to contact them.
My father was in need of medical equipment after recently breaking his hip. Access Partnership not only located a scooter for him but drove a long distance to pick it up and deliver it to my father's home! They are so professional and kind and giving! They are a true blessing to our community! Thank-you so very much!
I am thankful for Access Partnership because... This program help so many people that cannot afford health insurance and have serious medical issues that need immediate and prompt attention. Without it their health and quality of life would be greatly diminished. It is truly a service that is well needed in our community. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ACCESS PARTNERSHIP!!!
and all those who help make it a pleasant experience for those seeking help.
I'm thankful for Access Partnership because the company gave me a chance to experience a different job then the one I studied, it gave me room to grow. I got the chance to help people who really needed help.
You all are a wonderful organization. Keep it up! I am able to pick up donated medical supplies from you such as nutrition supplements and give them to someone in need. I wish I had known about your organization when my father was still alive because when he was ailing he could have benefited from using some of the donated medical supplies and equipment.
I merely wish to commend you for the endless hours of dedication towards helping people whom may not yet have even met you.
To do what you do consistently commands selflessness and a high degree of dedication from an era ago when people had and showed pride in a job really well done .
I have never met you or subscribed to any of the merchandise or services available. I am retired and often wonder what I could possibly do to help others in a significant way and thereby making a favorable difference in someone's life.
I'm sure you understand how even a little help at the most needed time can possibly inspire the recipient to think about whatever they could do to pay the blessing forward.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my correspondence and please feel welcome to contact me perhaps should you come across any ideas which might allow me to better help others, even in various ways.

Hey, so my former colleague Whitney Gould is coming to the Journal Sentinel tomorrow for an Art City podcast. I wanted to talk to her about her new position with the city's planning commission -- not to mention to lobby her about a few pet issues, like getting a public art administrator.
Is there anything you're dying to ask Whitney, the former urban ladscape writer/architecture critic for the paper? Click 'comment' and perhaps you'll hear your question as part of our upcoming podcast.

The river continues to rise, reaching levels not seen for 40 years. It's testing a frail system of dikes and spillways, too frail in some places to withstand its force
They've turned in their superhero costumes and taken down their videos, but the escapades of a group of Chilliwack teenagers who targeted alleged sexual predators continue to be fodder for a police investigation
Wandering alongside stopped vehicles he carried a cardboard sign reading "Hello, my name is Constable Martell. If you're on your cell phone right now, you are about to get a ticket"
A group of Chilliwack vigilantes have been warned again by police to stop luring and then exposing potential child sex offenders.
A Chilliwack, B.C., woman was arrested over the weekend for allegedly trying to smuggle painkillers into the U.S. by stuffing them in her underwear
Usually when serial killers are caught, they are locked up for good and the public can take comfort they will never kill again. Not Michael Wayne McGray.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Bob Paulson as the new RCMP Commissioner Wednesday. A 25-year veteran of the force, Commissioner Paulson has busted up biker gangs and tackled homegrown terror. The Post's Tristin Hopper gives the career highlights.

The eyes, once a murderer in themselves, have imploded.
There's not a single smile I can conjure to kill these butterflies
But oh, you should have seen it.
And oh, you should have been there.
Inject an connective, the rock is slipping slowly into the sea
I used to touch the sky with you,
But the longswords cut us all.
Your eyes, so dead. So dead.
And everything I saw in you is eradicated in a single glance
Care has evaporated.
Fear reigns supreme.

Go on and Kiss the Girl
English Class. The best part of the day. I was so close to David, I could almost feel him.
"We will be starting our new novel study of The Little Mermaid!" Mrs. Langford said excitedly. She always gets excited about new books, especially the classics.
"I'm going to let all of you read at your own pace, but try to finish in a minimum of 2 weeks. I wanted to let all of you know about your project for this book, in partners, I will assign each of you a part from the book, and you will reenact it with a modern twist." Mrs. Langford said enthusiastically. I glanced at Sydney as she wheedled David into being her partner.
"I will be assigning the groups Sydney," Mrs.Langford said in a tone that said hands-and-feet-and-lips-to-self. I sat up straight and waited patiently for my partners name. I hoped it would be David, but one can never be sure.
"Sydney and Josh, Ella and Steven, James and Sean, Lilly and Mike," I waited with my toes, fingers and legs crossed as I waited for my name to be called.
"Valerie and David," My jaw dropped. Was I dreaming or did she just call on my name, the concluded her phrase with the name of the boy that I have loved ever since I was in grade one.
"Everyone get together and I will hand out your part," David turned around and sat casually on his chair like a horse. His eyes sparkled, and If I looked hard enough I could see my reflection in them. Hid white teeth smiled like a fresh snow fall, and his hair fell in front of his one eye making him look voluptuous and sweet.
"Hey Val," Val? That's adorable! My parents call me Val sometimes, but when David says it, it sounds so much better.
"Valerie and David, you two will be reenacting the part when Eric and Ariel are in the boat and Sebastian is encouraging Eric to kiss Ariel. It is quite the romantic scene, please portray that in your scene.
"Not a problem." David said smiling looking deep into my eyes. I had to pull back from kissing him. Soon I would though, and that kiss will be the part of my world.

Outlook It's ISA season, which means fascinating newspaper supplements that are a real treat to read and loads of bizarre adverts.
Advertisements for fund managers flogging individual savings accounts can only be one of two things it seems: weird or boring.
Firmly in the weird category are the Profit Hunter ads from investment management house Artemis. They've been running for years, but are getting stranger with time.
The idea behind the campaign is that the Artemis experts roam further afield than rivals in search of profits. Indiana Jones-like characters are pictured stalking big game in far away places.
Let's allow that bringing an esoteric concept such as stock-picking to life is not easy. That granted, Artemis, named for the Greek goddess of hunting, is sending odd messages here.
I asked a rival fund manager the other day if I was alone in finding Artemis confusing. His response:
1. Rather than roaming the world like an armed vagrant, shouldn't a professional fund manager know where to find profits?
2. If "The range of the Profit Hunter grows ever wider" does this mean that Artemis is finding it increasingly difficult to track down decent profits?
3. Does "Today's hunters cover huge distances" sound efficient or inefficient?
4. Why are profits depicted in the shape of an extinct flying dinosaur?
5. Why, in the case of the desert location, is the hunter there in the first place? Deserts are deserted. The clue is in the name. It is a silly place to go hunting.
6. Isn't the point about a professional hunter that he knows his terrain? Professional hunters don't suddenly discover they are in the wrong place and there is nothing to hunt.
7. In many of the illustrations (which include the hunter in a hot air balloon, a sea plane, on a canoe in rapids, on a snow mobile in the mountains), his rifle is not to hand. So even if he chances across a pterodactyl he's not in any position to shoot it.
8. What are the chances of hitting anything with a rifle from a canoe that looks like it is about to capsize?
9. If you were a pterodactyl and had just had a low-flying seaplane come over would you stick around?
The Artemis ads are presumably deemed to work. What this says about retail investors is probably not flattering.Reuse content

I'm unable to upload the theme directly on WP… because i cant upload it through FTP…HELP !!!
its giving the error of style.css header not found
Hi! You need to unzip the file you downloaded and upload the theme inside it. Please see Common 'Broken Theme' and 'Stylesheet Missing' WordPress Issues
i can't access FTP mode. Kindly tell me the direct way and easy way to upload the theme directly from WP Panel
Please review the video tutorial and all instructions in the link above. It explains everything.
Once you unzip the download file and find the theme zip inside it, you can upload that directly through your WordPress Admin Panel.
i have already watched the video ! the "www" folder is not there.! what next?
If so that is a HTML template and NOT a WORDPRESS THEME – you will not be able to upload this to Wordpress and will need to modify the HTML directly and then the only way you will be able to add it to your domain is via FTP (you will need to get access somehow).
any step by step tutorial to upload through FTP panel?
It depends on what you want to change on the file.
Assuming it is edited to your needs and you have set the countdown correctly (.JS file) and changed the contact form email address (.PHP file) and any other changes you need to make in the code then upload ALL the files in the download (individual files NOT as a zip) to your root directory in your FTP.
You need to make sure the root does not have other files already there that could conflict with this template
Are you trying to upload a file as an author, or a purchase theme on your server?
If it's the first, you're getting the same error I am getting, which I mention here: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/error-when-updating-themefiles-on-themeforest/83183
Hi 123jerryberry,
Give it another try. We've just added a fix for some problems with our handling of headers in style.css themes that might solve your problem.

If you need help in adding pizzaz to a presentation or learning how to make a photo look better, I can help out with that. I like to help people think out of the box and bring out their creativity. I have my BFA in Graphic Design and have been a full time Graphic Designer for 15 years, working at ad agencies and in-house marketing departments. I have worked on large ad campaigns and smaller projects. I am familiar with creating and designing marketing materials, brochures, ads, logos, posters and more.
I have taught middle school students in my home about graphic design and related software. I am able to tutor in the Adobe programs like Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign from the very basics to the more advanced levels. I also can help in building PowerPoints from scratch or teach how to create ones from a template. I believe in demonstrating how to do something and then letting the student have the hands-on experience. I find it is important to encourage exploration in the different programs but also to include helpful guidance along the way.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
InDesign is not Publisher! It is the ultimate in layout programs. It is used by the pros and considered one of the industry standards for creating layouts. I have been using it as a full time designer for over 10 years. If you are wanting to learn the basics or more advanced techniques of layout, I can give you lessons or help you out on a project. InDesign is a powerful program that brings all of the best Adobe products together to create dynamic layouts.
Have you ever wondered how certain things have been done in Photoshop or heard the statement "That has been Photoshopped!" Well, I can help you in learning the basics of manipulating images or more advanced techniques that create a wonderful final result. I have 15 years of experience in using Photoshop and have mentored many other designers in ways to use the program. Let me help you unlock your pixel potential!
Need help designing something and figuring out how to do it? Or are you looking to pursue a career as a graphic designer? I have taught the basics before and would love to help you out also. I have been designing for 15 years and want to help out those that seem stuck on how to create that brochure or need direction down a path to become a designer. Let's unlock your creativity!
MAC or PC? What a great question! I have worked on both and still love the MAC the most. I am a graphic designer and, of course, the MAC remains my friend. I have worked on MACs for 15 years and currently am on the Leopard OS. I can help out with the way programs work on the MAC or general overviews of how the MAC functions. Once you learn the MAC, the question between MAC or PC will be easy to answer!

Belly fat is visceral deep fat, while subcutaneous fat settles just beneath your skin. Visceral fat potentially increases the risk for many diseases; it produces biochemical signals that promote inflammation in the body.
According to a NYT article, Ask Well: Reducing Belly Fat sit-ups are useless for losing belly fat, and you would be better off taking a walk. That I knew. What didn't know was that exercise might actually target visceral fat more than subcutaneous fat.
One study showed that exercise disproportionately targets visceral fat,and a meta study concluded:
"A comprehensive 2013 review concluded that programs combining aerobic exercise and occasional sessions of weight training were superior to either type of exercise alone at reducing belly fat."

Location description from owner
The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region
Due to the microclimate in this region, we are blessed with an exceptional number of sunshine hours per year, making it the second sunniest region in France. Spring comes early, Summer temperatures can reach in excess of 30 degrees and Autumn is still warm enough for a quieter main holiday. This is the perfect choice for a holiday - something for everyone! The white sand and romantic islands of the Atlantic Coast are about an hours' drive; the spectacular "Green Venice" (Marais Poitevin) is only 50 minutes away as is the Futuroscope theme park (near Poitiers) in the other direction. Cognac is only a short drive and has several distilleries offering guided tours. In short, we have wildlife parks, chateaux, hilltop fortress towns and roman history abound. This area is also ideal for bird-watchers since there are many rare species of birds of prey to be found here.
You cannot afford to miss the market in Lezay every Tuesday morning, selling everything from local fresh produce to shoes to livestock. The nearest supermarket & petrol station are also located in Lezay, as well as a post office, banks, chemists, doctors, etc. In the town there is also a beautiful park with tennis courts and an open-air swimming pool (open July & August only). Canoeing & swimming available at the lake in Lambon. Melle is famous for its' silver mines and is a very pretty town with several nice places to eat. For history lovers, we have the archaelogical dig and museum at Rom (4kms) as well as the Commonwealth War Graves. In the opposite direction are Chaunay, Couhe, Vivonne and Poitiers all offering shops, markets, restaurants and interesting architecture.

"Everything you could want from a relaxed and quiet getaway"
A gorgeous cottage in a lovely quiet area, the accomodation was just amazing, facilities all brilliant, Steve and Tracey were wonderful owners who could not be more helpful or approachable, the whole area was just what we wanted for a quiet and romantic getaway in the country side with lovely local french markets in local villages in the week.
"Rural France- Farmland, sunflowers, sunshine and 70 minutes to coast"
Wonderful Hideaway Cottage. We've been at most times of the year and it is wonderful in all seasons. Everything you need downstairs, including woodburner for cool Autumn and Winter visits. Upstairs bedroom, ensuite shower and just one beam to duck below. This is a French institution. Comfortable and cosy. Barbecues throughout summer, after a dip in the pool; log fires, candlelight and casseroles in winter, all helped along with the essential red wine. Tracey and Steve are wonderful hosts and will help in any way possible, but not intrusive. We've become very good friends. Evenings in summer are spent outside: take part in the family friendly quiz, boules tournament or just chillin'. Winter evenings by the log fire where me and my wife learned to talk to each other again. Logs, wine, good company and enjoying life at a slower pace. I'm sure the sun stops shining, but that's probably only at night. The area is very rural and tranquil, the nights are dark, and there are more stars out there than you could ever imagine. Sunflowers, corn, local farmers on the chasse, Tuesday morning market in Lezay. Styles you haven't seen since your granny wore them, but the atmosphere is so French. Local attractions for the children at Valley des Singes (monkey valley), Futuroscope outside Poitiers, Poitiers itself, Parthenay, Confolens, the Marais Poitevin where you can rent a boat and paddle along the wooded canals, La Rochelle, and not least the Ile de Re. The area , the way of life, the relaxation, the sunshine. This is France. Tracey and Steve and their wonderful Hideaway Cottage are in the middle of all this. All these places to visit in no more than 75 minutes. It may not be perfect, but for a week or two it's pretty close.
"Hideaway Cottage sums it up beautifully, a gem of a place to stay."
Steve and Tracey have continued to sensitively improve the cottage and the surrounding area, it's a lovely place to stay and I look forward to further visits. They are very helpful and welcoming hosts and are very knowledgable about the local area and beyond.
"One of our most relaxing and enjoyable holidays ever"
Being met by Steve & Tracey at Hideaway was like being met by long lost friends, it was like we had known them for years. Nothing was too much trouble for the whole of our stay. When we had tired of sitting reading and listening to all the wonderful sounds,Tracey had some great ideas of where to visit and we found some places we will always remember and visit again when we return to Grande Vigne this year. We are hoping to get over in the summer this time, as the onground pool I'm sure will be very handy for cooling off. The cottage is really lovely, spotless and very welcoming, as it was October and getting chilly in the evening steve had lit a fire for us which was brilliant. There was wood avaliable for us to have a fire each evening. Rosie the dog was also very friendly and we quite often took her out for a walk in the early evening. The fresh bread bought round by a local baker is wonderful, & not far away is Lezay where on Tuesday mornings there is a large market held with fresh fruit .veg, meats , fish & more, also on Friday a market is held at Melle a nice town about 15mins or so away, if you like walking there is a wonderful walk around the outer edge of Melle amongst rare trees & plants also three beautiful churches to visit. As you can tell our holiday was one of our best and we will be returning to Hideaway again & possibly again.

These scars.
Poem by: LaceyGerardMonroe
Status: Finished
Genre: Editorial and Opinion
I cut these words into my flesh,
I cut these words into my haert.
I hear them when I move,
I hear them when I stay still.
I am not arrogand
nor am I a high thinker of myself.
But damn I love myself.
I love my brain,
I love my haert.
I love my words.
I love to watch the stars.
I love to see the sun rising.
I love the smell of rain.
I love the smell of flowers.
I am adicted to many thing.
But I love them all.
I love my music.
I love to smoke.
So why are there cuts?
These cuts in my face.
These cuts in my haert.
Where dit this happen?
I love my scars,
a reminder of who I am.
Often I wonder what if.
But damn I love this.
I love me.
I hate sociaty,
and even maybe I hate you.
But you love me.
You do!
Don't you?
Where will I go?
Why am I here?
Its a mystory.
A strange riddle.
I have enemies.
Many enemies.
I will fight till I die.
No I don't think you care.
But yet you do!
Intresting is this world...
Intresting is this life!!!
Where are we going with this?
Where will this end?
With the cuts on my arm,
the cuts on my face
and the cuts on my haert Ill soon see.

Add Your Comments:
You frequently misspelled heart, but oh well, that's just an added quirk to things. And just because someone cuts themselves doesn't really make them emo... That's kind of a rude term. But hey, you seem really confident and proud to be yourself, so high five to that! I'm certainly not as happy with who I am, so I admire that you're comfortable in your own skin. Overall, this was a very interesting poem. It flowed very well, and I enjoyed the mix of light and happy with some of the down-to-earth, realistic things that most everyone experiences at some point in time in their lives.
I love that you took time to consider what i wrote. Btw I never cut myself. just had a dark patch a year or what ago so it left emotional scars. Hope this helps a lil with where the emo opinion of people comes from. If you read some earlier posted poems you will actually get to know me without talking to me. But thanks hey i appreciate. Don't worry self acceptance is a difficult thing to do. took quite some time for me...
I'm very sorry if my earlier comment seemed judgmental, that wasn't what I was aiming for. And having read some of your other works, I can definitely tell that you're very fun and happy.
You are a great poet..loved it!
People who correct others on spelling mistakes should also take the time to review their own mistakes.
I'm getting some very positive energy from this wonderful simplistic piece of poetry.Nobody is perfect but we all have to live in the shadow of other folk's intolerance.
I'm sorry i don't mean to deliberate here.

LEO Africa volunteer experience
Submitted by Lesley Oliver - Adelaide Australia | October 14, 2016
LEO Africa is situated in the Marataba section of the Marakele National Park which is a beautiful reserve with a river running through it & surrounded by majestic mountains.
Each day on the drives we were able to see a huge variety of animals. It was not unusual to come across the Big 5 all in 1 day.
It was an exciting experience & as volunteers we supported LEO re-establishing their base in a new environment. Every day was different. Some of the activities included observing & identifying animals, learning about their habitat & habits; we had the opportunity to walk in the bush, sleep out under the stars, observe at waterholes, assist in clearing tracks, setting camera traps, track animals & participate in the darting by helicopter to check roan antelope in the reserve next to LEO Base.
The Managers, Koos & Sabrina are incredibly knowledgeable & experienced & I have learnt so much by listening to them & watching them. They KNOW the bush. This is my third time at LEO & I will definitely return.
LEO Africa responded to this review October 21, 2016 at 4:04 AM
Dear Lesley,
Thank you for leaving a review and for describing our work so well and with enthusiasm!
Our best satisfaction and achievement, together with working hard for conservation and see the results, is to have happy volunteers who go home with a better knowledge and understanding of the African bush and the meaning of conservation!
It hs been an absolute pleasure to have you with us for the third time and we can't wait to see you again as soon as possible! Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious and amazing!
All the best!

Four weeks at LEO
Submitted by Chloé Pastore - Bayonne France Institut Jean Errecart | October 05, 2016
Hello, I am Chloé, I am 19 and I am from France. I am sorry, my english is not very good, I hope you will understand me.
I went to South Africa during four weeks, in June. I was looking for something about wildlife and conservation. Then, a student of my school talked with me about LEO Africa, a Volunteer Research Programme in the Marataba Section of the Marakele National Park. I immediately loved this idea.
So, I went to LEO on the 28th of June. I discover a wonderful place with really nice people (volunteers, staff and member of the Marakele National Park). It was difficult at first, but the manager speaks a little bit french so she explains to me everything I didn't understand. She was nice and understanding.
My trip start with an absolutely incredible experience ! We had to help the veterinary and management of the Marataba Reserve to build the boma and also to capture some herbivores to move them to another reserve. It was really tiring, but so exciting. It was worth it. I saw some animals like impalas, zebras, kudus, and wildebeests run next to me.
At LEO, we also went on game drive to see some animals, especially the member of the BIG FIVE (lions, leopards, cheetah, rhinos black and white, hyenas, elephants and buffalos). We had to collect some data and take a lot of pictures for ID Kits. Then it is used by the national park to evaluate the impact of re-introduced animals and to maintain balanced, stable and sustainable ecosystems. During the game drives, I saw a lot of beautiful landscapes and animals. It really leaves me breathless.
I also did to a sleep out with the other volunteers and the manager. We had to look around us at night, to see if there is some species and listen if we eared gun sounds because of the poaching. My friend Alexia and me, eared a lion and the next day when we were going back to the base, we saw two of them! It was awesome.
When I think about this trip, I remember how magical it was. People in the staff are involved and passionate in their job. The managers are kind, always happy and funny. They teach me a lot of things about nature and conservation. I see everything differently right now. They changed my life.
Now, I save money each month to go back there. I can't wait to see them and live it again and again. This trip was the best thing I ever did in my life. I'll never forget how good it was. And I can't find the words to tell LEO how thankful I am. I obviously recommend this place and I really hope you will be as happy as I was there.

Leo Africa amazing!
Submitted by giulia1993 - Riva del Garda | November 09, 2015
Hello everybody!
My name is Giulia and I want to tell you about my experience in South Africa at Leo Africa, an amazing lion and black rhino volunteer monitoring programme. I think that reading about my experience could help people who are looking for a similar experience.
I had information about Leo thanks to my university in Milan that gave me the opportunity to do an internship there. It was my first time in Africa, so I decided to book for 40 days (from the end of November till the beginning of January). After a week in Leo Africa, I fell in love so much with the place and the work they do that I have already planned to come back in March 2015 for 3 weeks!
One of the most beautiful things of Leo is that it is located in a private game reserve where you don't find commercial lodges: this gives you the opportunity to be the only visitors of the reserve, which means to live a really true and amazing African experience. You can understand this when you are on game drive and you find the lions, the leopards, the elephants etc there is only you and the animals, no cars, no tourists, no noise. You, nature and animals are a mix of energy and emotions that you'll never forget!
During my games drive I could observe how the animals live, behave and they are not used to vehicles and people so you can really see them into their natural habitat and attitude. I remember when we found Matumi and Acacia, two wonderful lionesses, who were playing like two cubs!! It was so amazing because we were 20 metres from them and they just wanted to play with each other!
I really loved especially the lions, that we tracked every day, their characters and their behaviours. I couldn't believe that there were lions more confident, others more curious and other that usually escape when they see a vehicle.
There is Mbhurri, the male dominant who is just unbelievably handsome. He's so beautiful that I fell in love for him from the first time that "we met"! I remember one day when we we were looking for him (using the telemetry, as the lions have collars to be tracked easlily), we off roaded as the signal indicated he was pretty close to the road but not yet visible. After 2 minutes we found him under a tree! He was sleeping and posing for us at sunset, and we admired him for about 1 hour. I remember that, when Mbhurri was looking at the car, I was captured by his yellow eyes. It was awesome, no words can describe such emotions!!
I truly believe that the experience that you get at LEO you can't live it anywhere else, as the majority of the reserves are commercial, full of lodges and cars, and the game drives are not active (I experienced both and I would choose the LEO experience without any hesitation! The other places don't give you the same opportunities than a volunteer project like Leo. Of course, it depends on what you are looking for. If you want luxury, LEO is not the place. But if you want to do a real bush experience contributing directly into conservation, this is your place).
During the game drives the volunteers are active part of the research, you can have different roles, such as the telemetry that involves you completely in the research. You are responsible to find the animals, tracking them and log the data that is used to write weekly, monthly and annual reports to help the reserve taking the decisions for the management of the animals.
As a volunteer, I was not only tracking animals, but I also had the chance to contribute in some anti-poaching activities, do some farm works, participate in animal darting and also helping in some house duties.
For example, I remember that during my first game drive we built six bolsters which are very useful to avoid that the strong rainfall washes the road. It's a hard work, but you feel satisfied because you are involved, you can feel that you're important for the reserve and that you play an active role in conservation. We also cut some alien plants such as the queen of the night and we removed some trees from the middle of the road (elephants like to "have fun" and push down trees, no matter where!).
The programme main focus is to monitor specifically lions and black rhinos (since 2013 they started to monitor the black rhinos daily using a quad bike), but also white rhinos, elephants, leopards, hyenas, cheetah and some mammals and bird of interest.
Together with the drives, I really enjoyed the black rhino monitoring programme on the quad motorbike: basically you spend the entire day in the bush with a LEO guide to track and monitor the condition and movements of the Black Rhinos. This is the experience that I liked most because you can have the chance to see the rare black rhinos and you can have your "personal" guide who teaches you a lot and replies to your questions. During one of this trips, I was on the quad waiting for the guide (he was checking for the rhinos) and one rhino ran across the street and escaped into the bush. It lasted only a few seconds, but it was one of the most exciting experience in my life.
The most important thing of being out all the day, together with living the bush 100% is that this act as a deterrent against the poaching (it's a cruel reality here, because hundreds of hundreds of Rhinos are poached every year without any reason and they export the horns in Vietnam and China where it is used for medicinal purposes – but it is scientifically proved it does NOT have any effect and the use is just related to a cultural belief).
One typical day at Leo Africa gives you lots of funny moments, but also many unforgettable memories. You usually wake up at 4.30 am to prepare everything needed for the first game drive (coffee, check the telemetry and the data box). During the game drive there are volunteers that are responsible for the different tasks, and other that are "free" and they can enjoy the bush and its wonderful views.
You come back from the game drive at around 11.00 am and after lunch you can take a break till 3.00 pm (because there is the second game drive) or help out in some tasks at base. Obviously you can also have free time, so if you are tired or you want to stay at the base you can do it!
While volunteering I also had a chance to take part in some different excursions organized by the programme. I went to the Kruger National Park and to the Blyde River Canyon!! Kruger was amazing because there are lots of animals and if you're lucky you can see cheetahs, lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and more in one day. But do not expect a quiet and private drive in Kruger as there are always a lot of vehicles around, but for sure you can see the animals closer, as they are really used to cars and see different species.
I will never forget the staff members because I've never met people like them! They are a family for me, it's so strange, but in only few days I felt at home and they taught me so much about nature and conservation! They are so knowledgeable and you can feel their passion for what they do, for nature and for animals. I remember that I showed a picture of Mbhurri to Sabrina and she got emotional for saying: my beautiful Mbhurri!! (If she does not see the lions for a few days she already misses them hahah!). Her reaction demonstrate how these animals, the bush, can catch your feelings and give you every day new emotions.
I learned lots of new things at Leo, and I had the opportunity to do lots of new experiences: sleeping out under the stars, night drives for leopards, road maintenance and bush walks!
I want to thank especially Sabrina, who has been like a sister for me, Steven and Simon, who have been my favourite guides (they are so funny together!!)! And of course Koos, the director of LEO and ranger, who is sometimes re-named Mc Gyver because he can fix anything and he is a real master in the bush finding animals!
I think that everyone should do this experience, because it changes your life (literally). I was sure to continue my study in Holland, and now I can't think something different from going back, and become a guide!!
I suggest this experience to everyone who is interested in African's life, nature and animals, and want to have a real, simple African experience being directly involved in real conservation!!! If you would like to get more information about LEO you can write me (I am really happy to reply, it makes me live the dream again!)
Have a good trip, maybe we'll catch up there!

... a lot more. The deep tan color of the soy beans and the lighter, almost golden color of the corn mixed in with the green of the trees made for a very colorful kaleidoscope of color as we motored merrily along.
As I have said before, Iowa is NOT flat and the rolling hills soon gave way to the truly flat land of north west Illinois. The farmers were picking corn and combineing beans and all was ...

Day 41 - SD, IO, IL
We started our day with a swim and light breakfast at the hotel - my rule of thumb is becoming that a breakfast bar is worth eating at if it offers biscuits! We were driving by 8:30, with no time change today, so a slightly easier day is ahead. We still shared the road with a fair number of motorcycles and our first rest stop had set up some refreshments for biker. The ladies working there were very friendly and helpful, ...

Day 35 Sunday 5th July. La Crosse to Champaign, Ilinois, 382 miles
It's going to be a hot one today and we have finally lost all that smoke from the wildfires, so plenty of glorious sunshine look forward to.
A ride in two halves today.
We start with a lovely 150 miles or so, following the mississippi along the the Great River Road to Prairie Du Chief, Lancaster, Dubuque, Bellevue and Clinton. ...

External Affairs minister Salman Khurshid today donned the role of a poet to pay tribute to the December 16 gang-rape victim.
At a function to commemorate the Delhi Braveheart, Khurshid's poetry was recited by Zila Khan.
Vice President Hamid Ansari launched the music album 'Braveheart' brought out by Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust and Ustadgah Foundation.
The music album is a tribute to the girl child. Salman Khurshid has written poetry on that incident while it has been sung by Khan.
Addressing the gathering, Ansari said,"One year back a very brutal and pathetic incident happened which embarrassed every Indian."
"We have assembled here to pay tribute to the girl child," he said.
Terming the December 16 incident as "awful and terrible", Khurshid said, "This is a pain that I have felt because of Damini and not just for what happened to her which was awful and terrible, but also the alienation we felt with the young people who felt let down. I had to say something to them, to Damini's parents and to her soul." He said that the only way he could do it was through poetry and he was really lucky that Zila Khan sang it so beautifully.
"Whatever I had to say I said it in poetry, somebody else sang it. If you like it I will write more and if you don't I will stop writing," he added.
Composer and singer Adnan Sami also enthralled the audience with his performance.

The Deception
Written on the 2nd March 2009, finished at 12:10 am It started out as something else and kind of morphed into this poem after the third line. Anyways, hope whoever sees this likes it. And um, this isn't really supposed to be built on, though since I'm still trying to figure this place out, I can't find the button that lets me do that >.< Anyways, hope it makes for a decent read.
Shh... come and follow me
Don't make a sound
For where I take you
There are worse things than being found
Shh... don't make a sound
And follow me along this corner round
Hush.. stay your breath and stay right behind
Don't be afraid
But tread ever softly, my dear.
Down here, naught but me shall come to your aid
Hush... don't be afraid
And stick close on this cobbled path & do please mind the shade
Hm... hurry up now, quicken your step
You've trusted me so far, have you not?
Don't mind the alley desolate, my dear
We're here because of what you so avidly sought
Hm... you've trusted me so far, have you not?
And see! There's the goal! Now off you trot!
Sigh... Why so many questions; why so surprised?
What do you mean why am I still here?
Don't fret now, me sweet
This will be over soon, so there's no need to fear
Sigh... what do you mean what am I still doing here?
I'm only collecting my dues for leading you astray... Hush, hush, hush lets not ruin this with tears...

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 8, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas j_g_Herakl-Zeitung a Friday, September 8 ,1995 Seele renovations nill pose a dilemma By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Administrators at New Braunfels Independent School District are trying to decide what to do with students when planned renovations for Seele Elementary get under way in the coming months. NB1SD Superintendent Charles Bradberry presented the board of trustees preliminary plans at Tuesday's meeting. According to those plans, two primary areas of concern were addressed. The first concern was safety of students when arriving and leaving from school. Bradberry said the plans call for a circular drive and benches for parents to utilize while dropping off and picking up children. The other concern was the walkway in the front of the building. The walk will be expanded by four feet, and a roof will coyer the entire area. "There wasn't a roof in the district that wasn't leaking. We've fixed that and we've fixed the concern about the buses too," said board president Leo Chafin. Other renovations include removing asbestos, replacing electricity, installing carpet, installing new windows, and expanding areas, said Bravi berry. "It's going to look like a good building that's been remodeled. It will basically resemble other campuses in the district," he said. However, Bradberry said the big decision that needs to be addressed now is where to put students while the work is being done One option is to hire a contractor to work around the clock atxi get the work done during the summer Bradner ry said he has not gotten an estimate on how much this will cost He pointed out a problem with this option is the contractor who gives the estimate may not bid and the district may not be able lo get anyone to do it The second option is to move the students to an alternance existing building Bradberry said this w VHI Id cost about $'0,000 He said this has several benefits, including there will be more room aixl it cc ill be iii a closed in area which provides more sa lets IV ituid option is to lease five portable buildings to be placed on the campus. Bradberry said he figured this would cost about $96,000 and could base a five pcivent variance in the cost. C'V'iN she at cees retxn ated will be moved into the pet tables. 'Ifs not jut msmx'tuMul question. It's an emo-t tot val otte aik! an economical one," said Brad berry. "I'm quite aware that whatever we do, we're going to get flak. That's just the way it is." Bradberry said he will study the three options, and will make a recommendation to the board at it's next meeting. Bradberry also went over tenth-day enrollment for the district. Overall, enrollment has increased by 153 students from 5,555 in 1994 to 5,708 in 1995. Even though total enrollment has increased, class sizes have remained manageable. "We've made some real strides. We made an assertive effort to bring down class sizes," Bradberry said. "The hard part is to keep up the space to fit the new students that keep coming in," said Chafin. "The way New Braunfels is growing it's going to be hard to keep absorbing these students and have enough room." World, Nation Briefs Bosnian Serbs defiant in face of airstrikes SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnian Serbs, weakened but defiant, insisted that more NATO airstrikes will not make diem pull back their big guns menacing Sarajevo. The Serbs' refusal to budge threatened to jeopardize peace talks opening today in Geneva. Removal of the heavy artillery has been the key demand of the United Nations and NATO since the alliance began bombing Serb military targets Aug. 30 to try to coerce th| rebels into compliance. Helped by fair weather, NATO warplanes resumed their bombing runs early Thursday, increasing the number of targets and sorties. But U.N. officials said no heavy weapons had been remov ed from the 12 I/2-mile zone around Sarajevo. Instead, the Serb military accused NATO of hitting civilian targets after achieving only "meager" results in its bombing campaign against military installations. And the Serbs served notice more bombs won't make them bend. The rebels fear that withdrawal would mean forfeiting their claim to any part of Sarajevo in a future peace deal and make them vulnerable to a government army onslaught they would be unable to repel. Strict security eau*** tension at Women's Confer- BEIJING (AP) — The scene on the grounds of a U N. women's conference today said it all: a protester holding a poster of a woman with her mouth gagged, and a Chinese security officer telling her and other demonstrators to be quiet and get inside Tensions over freedom of expression are threatening to boil over at the Fourth World Women's Conference, as tightly policed China shows increasing impatience with the debate and dissent the international conference has brought. In the latest face-off, three Hong Kong television journalists were detained this morning as they covered a human-rights protest on the conference grounds. They were later released. China's official news agency, Xinhua, accused the crew of hitting a Chinese guard with its camera. U.N. organizers did not comment on the incident, but some conferees said it revived concerns about heavy-handed Chinese security. Defense cant rest case just yst LOS ANGELES (AP) — O.J. Simpson's defense lawyers wanted to rest, deciding his testimony was unnecessary to answer a state case in "shambles." The prosecution would not let them. Keeping jurors waiting in a hotel they want desperately to leave, prosecutors derailed the defense's last day in Simpson's murder trial. They promised to file an emergency appeal today of a ruling that jurors would be told that Detective Mark Fuhrman would be "unavailable" to testify. When the judge summoned jurors into the courtroom Thursday after they spent the day in a holding room, he broke the news that they probably wouldn't be back until Monday. Some clenched their jaws. Some frowned or were grim-faced. Today's agenda called for a no-frills procedural hearing. The last time the 12 jurors and two alternates heard testimony was just after lunch Wednesday. After eight months of being sequestered, they have repeatedly sent notes to Judge Lance Ito to tell him they aren't — to use lto's words — "happy campers." While the jurors sat and stewed, lawyers dedicated large portions of the day to standing and stewing. And the judge was stewing back. Attorneys retired to Ito's chambers for the second day in a row to exchange heated words. Matsriel OIH gets political at awards show (AP) — Politics. Foul language. Loud music. Yes, the always enter taining MTY Video Music Awards were hack for (he 12th time — and Madonna used the occasion to lash out at Sen. Bob Dole for his condemnation of rap music. Madonna's verbal assault was the highlight of Thursday night's show. Host Dennis Miller was bleeped twice in his monologue; Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea cavorted in black bikini briefs; Michael Jackson sang, danced and grabbed his crotch during the opening number. In between, awards were handed out. Pop-rap trio TLC won four, including video of the year, for its cautionary AIDS tune "Waterfalls"; alternative rockers Weezer matched that total with "Buddy Holly," their video homage to television's "Happy Days." Madonna, in a green silk shirt unbuttoned below her bra, minced no words in presenting the best rap video award to Dr. Dre. Breat implant settlement may be scuttled BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The future looks doubtful for a $4.25 billion settlement of claims brought by women who received breast implants, a judge said. Barring any "extraordinary developments," U.S. District Judge Sam Pointer said he will scuttle the deal by the end of the month. Claims under the settlement will probably exceed the amount of money committed by manufacturers, causing both sides to drop out, he said. "In light of this as well as the complications presented by the Dow Coming bankruptcy proceeding, Judge Pointer has preliminarily concluded that there is no justification for keeping the current settlement in place," a court telephone hot line said Thursday. Ralph Knowles, a lead lawyer for plaintiffs, said he doubted any deal can be reached. But he noted that the judge was still giving them three weeks to come up with a settlement. "There are going to be hundreds of thousands of lawsuits filed if this deal McKenna Auxiliary hosts more than 200 volunteers for meeting By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer A convocation of angels gathered at the New Braunfels Civic Center Wednesday. More than 200 hospital auxiliary volunteers met to share achievements, stories and laughter. District 8 includes about 26 hospitals — about 18 or 19 were represented at this meeting, said Nell Morton, president of the McKenna Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Auxiliary volunteers from cities such as San Antonio, San Angelo, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Uvalde and San Marcos filled the Civic Center. Keynote speaker Heloise, of "Hints from Heloise" newspaper columns and books, entertained the gathering. "Heloise travels all over the U.S.," Morton said. "To my knowledge this is the first time she has spoken in this area." Two local women were responsible for orchestrating the meeting, Morton said, Carol Johnson and Jean Dougan, both of Canyon Lake. "They put a lot of miles on their cars while they were doing this," she said. "It was a lot of work, but it was worth every minute." Three state officers stayed at the T-Bar M Ranch, and the conference's "angels" theme carried through the Civic Center's decor. "Serving with grace and devotion" was the auxiliaries' slogan for 1995. Seventy people volunteer their time at McKenna Memorial Hospital through the local auxiliary, Morton said. They operate a gift shop. They give clerical help to nurses. They help with registration and traffic direction. "We're really patient oriented, but we do give a lot of assistance to the nurses," Morton said. "It would cost the patients much more to stay at the hospital without the services that we provide," Morton said. "The Red Cross and the auxiliary work together to provide a lot of these services — we compliment each other," she said. "We feel that we're not only helpful to the staff, but we have more time to give a special smile or a friendly nod to patients and visitors," she said. Storm causes blown fuses, but no real damage felt By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer New Braunfels was lucky this time, said David Werley of New Braunfels Utilities. "Last night's storm left no serious damage — just a lot of blown fuses due to power surges," he said. Often poles are downed or tran-formcrs damaged in a storm like last night's, but not this time, Werley said. "Everybody was back on power by about 2:30 a.m.," he said.
