Olifantkarkasse in die Keniabosse
Karkasse in die (Kenia-)bos
Veldwagters van die Keniaanse Natuurlewediens ondersoek die karkas van ’n baba-olifant wat weens die uitgerekte droogte gesterf het naby die Galanarivier in die Tsavo East- nasionale park, suidoos van die hoofstad, Nairobi.
Meer as 80 olifante het omgekom in dié park in wat beskou word as die land se ergste droogte sedert 1996. Van die olifante het weens honger of dors gesterf, terwyl ander dood is aan siektes en infeksies weens beskadigde immuunstelsels.

Thai Insurancy company ad leave viewers in tears ... again
October 9, 2009 by Daizy
Last year Thai Life Insurance won a award Spikes Asia Awards for the ad they made about a mother and her children. This year they have released another commercial that is so beautiful that I have read of men who even get all emotional.
The commercial was made at Chiang Mai's Srisangwan school that was opened by late Princess Mother of Thailand especially for those with disabilities. The ad is where a choir of children sing the song Que sera sera, meaning what ever will be will be famously sung by Doris Day. Then the camera focuses on the mothers who look on with such pride on their faces.
The message written at the end is that everyone is born differently, but we all deserve the same care. This Life Insurance company sure knows how to make a impact.
Here is the commercial and I found the one released last year just after this one.

South Africans are not properly informed about swine flu - H1N1 virus
August 6, 2009 by Daizy
At the beginning of the whole swine flu thing I said that South Africa would be hit hard I just had no idea that people would be so stupid about it. I don't want to sound mean or insult people it's just a fact. I understand it is just like flu but the mortality rate is much higher than normal flu and it is easy transferable. That is why the quarantine whole families in other countries. After two deaths I would think people would take it more seriously but they have not.
I met one mother of a little girl in my daughters kindergarten class this morning outside the school, where she casually informs me she has swine flu. This is after she took her 4 year old little girl to a class full of 4 - 3 year old children. She informed she has been released from her job until the doctor gave the all clear, she is an English teacher at an primary school. My daughter is in recovery from normal flu so she would be more susceptible to the H1N1 virus. To say I was horrified put it lightly. This woman was walking around not realizing the virus spreads through air and she just exposed the whole school to the virus.
It is the Doctors job to inform authorities and then explain to the woman how highly contagious swine flu is. They just tell the people to get a lot of bed rest. Unfortunately the government is trying so hard not to let the population panic they are down playing the virus so much people are treating it just as if it's just another cold. People would be more scared they would get laryngitis than swine flu to me it's the same thing, if not worse. They don't even give them masks to wear so that they cannot contaminate other people. To me this is negligent and dangerous.

Strand Beach looking to Cape Town, night shot
January 9, 2009 by evl
This was on the 5th of November when people were going crazy with the fireworks. This part of the beach was empty and looked like it would make a great photo.
It was basically dark but there's still some sunshine coming through the clowds.
