South African farmers are moving to Georgia - why? Part II
Boers’ newfound home in rural Georgia. South Africans enjoy peaceful farming and friendly atmosphere. “We don’t want to go back”, says the middle-aged blonde woman confidently, as we park our car and continue our journey in her off-roader. The muddy road leads to a farmhouse, 64 km south of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, and 14 km away from the nearest town, Gardabani. This is the new home for Adri Du Preez, her husband and two teenagers, who left South Africa two years ago to find peace, friendly people and fertile soil for their “agricultural experiments.”
Chinatown, Toronto
Chinatown is an ethnic enclave in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with a high concentration of ethnic Chinese residents and businesses extending along Dundas Street West and Spadina Avenue west of the centre of the city. A second area known as East Chinatown, extends along both streets from the intersection of Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street. First developed in the late 19th century, the main Chinatown is now one of the largest Chinatowns in North America and one of several major Chinese-Canadian communities in the Greater Toronto Area. There are approximately six Chinatowns in Greater Toronto, including in the municipalities of Markham and Mississauga.

???? Lyrics ????
Winterland, tell me all your secrets
Fill me in on your wildest moments
Colored trees, your yellow leaves move me
Dancing moves, your painted red shakes through
When I get there
I let my feet roll
When I get there
I'm breaking your arms, I lose control
When I get there
I'll know the answer
Let me know, let me know
when I get closer
Winterland, you're my sailing ship
Guide me in, when you head for your trip
Right out of this wicked black and into bright sand
Straight towards the warm sun and into his hand
When I get there
I let my feet roll
When I get there
I'm breaking your arms, I lose control
When I get there
I'll know the answer
Let me know, let me know
when I get closer
Winterland, whisper in my ear
Make my troubles all disappear
Way beyond this wicked black I feel the soft sand
Riding through the warm sun and in his hand
When I get there
I let my feet roll
When I get there
I'm breaking your arms, I lose control
When I get there
I'll know the answer
Let me know, let me know
when I get closer
when I get closer
Let me know when I get closer
Open up the sky for me
When you say I'll dig much deeper
I will shout
Let me know when I get closer
Open up the sky for me
When you say I'll dig much deeper
I will shout
Loud
When I get there
I'll know the answers
Let me know, let me know
When I get closer
When I get closer
Will I get closer
Will I get closer

RONNIE JONES
He's one of London's most decorated athletes when it comes to medals and citations. His trophy case is overflowing.
He's Ron Jones, 81, one of the elite lawn bowlers in Canada, and for that matter, in the world. An international star if you will.
Ron,or Ronnie as he's often referred to by the media, has assembled a career record that has ordinary bowlers quaking with envy. Singles, pairs, trebles or fours competition, he has competed in all forms of these events and has the hardware to prove it.
His dossier lists 26 international selections, seven Canadian championships, 12 Ontario titles, 26 Western Ontario Bowls Association (WOBA) victories and 12 United States South East Division titles.
The WOBA recognized Ronnie's long-standing talents, including being named Bowler of the Tournament seven times, by making him a life member during a special presentation last July. The WOBA was established in 1896 and they hold a week-long tournament in London and Woodstock that attracts players from around the world. Ronnie responded by teaming up with son Kevin to win the pairs title for a third year in a row. His other son Ian is also an accomplished bowler.
Born in Liverpool, England, Ron came to Canada in 1952. He has been a member of the Elmwood Club ever since, holding down all the executive
positions including being president in 1964 and '65. He was a national umpire from 1976 to 1996 and chairman of Ontario's officiating committee from 1984 through 1987. He was also a founding member of Canada's national team from 1977 to 1994.
Ronnie is truly an international star and over the years has had 17 personal invitations to compete in competitions in Hong Kong, Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Twelve of these invites were for singles events, all expenses paid with prize money ranging from $500 to $25,000. His best finish was a place in the semi-finals.
Among his medal collection are three golds at the Pacific Rim tournament in Hong Kong and a silver and bronze in the World Championships. Ronnie also chalked up a silver medal in the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.
Oddly, lawn bowling was never Ron's first sporting choice. Soccer was my first love, he said recalling the days when he played for the CNRA side in the old London and District Soccer Association. Those were good times.
It may seem a bit out of the ordinary to be inducting an 81-year-old into the athlete modern category but Ronnie Jones is not an ordinary athlete. He may keep on bowling forever. The London Sports Hall of Fame is pleased to add him to the class of 2011.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
World in Action was a British investigative current affairs programme made by Granada Television for ITV from 7 January 1963 until 7 December 1998. Its campaigning journalism frequently had a major impact on events of the day. Its production teams often took audacious risks, and the programme gained a solid reputation for its often unorthodox approach. The series was sold around the world and won numerous awards. In its heyday World in Action drew audiences of up to 23 million in Britain alone, equivalent to almost half the population.
Cabinet ministers fell to its probings. Numerous innocent victims of the British criminal justice system, including the Birmingham Six, were released from jail. Honouring the programme in its 50th anniversary awards the Political Studies Association said, World in Action thrived on unveiling corruption and highlighting underhand dealings. World in Action came to be seen as hard-hitting investigative journalism at its best.A melodramatic post-trial encounter in 1967 between Mick Jagger and senior British establishment figures, in which rock star and retinue were wafted by helicopter onto the lawn of a stately home, was engineered by then World in Action researcher and future BBC Director General John Birt. Decades later Birt himself described it as one of the iconic moments of the Sixties.Soon after she became Conservative Party leader, Margaret Thatcher was said to have told the BBC Director General, Sir Ian Trethowan, that she considered World in Action to consist of just a lot of Trots. Panorama, however, are bastards.Its removal after 35 years was seen by some as part of a general dumbing-down of British television and of ITV in particular. One commercial TV regulatory official privately characterised the Tonight programme which replaced it as merely fluffy. Others saw World in Action's eventual disappearance as the inevitable consequence of rising commercial pressures. Announcing a £250,000 fund for an investigative journalism training scheme, Channel Four said in November 2011 that there had been a decline in the pool of investigative journalism since the demise of training grounds such as World in Action.

SUMMARY
=======
Pan American World Airways, originally founded as Pan American Airways and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier and unofficial flag carrier of the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. It was founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba. The airline is credited for many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association.Identified by its blue globe logo (The Blue Meatball), the use of the word Clipper in its aircraft names and call signs, and the white uniform caps of its pilots, the airline was a cultural icon of the 20th century. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority government-owned, it was also the unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States. During most of the jet era, Pan Am's flagship terminal was the Worldport located at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
