Unfortunately, only the thought of going to a place where most of the time I would go to a beach bores me to tears. Not even the fact that I could use hotel points makes it better. So I have made a decision to learn something during my vacation even if it might cost more. I have been doing some research (nice term for using Google) and there seems to be a plethora of sites for activity holidays (I would have been very surprised not to).
Some of these sites that I have come across:
"Travel-quest is a human edited specialist travel directory, each entry is checked and reviewed by an experienced editor. We list adventure and activity holidays, vacations, trips, tours, residential courses and weekends away in the UK, throughout Europe, in the USA, North America and world-wide – try us for sports, action, culture, crafts, relaxation …"
Cricket, cliff jumping, archery, beer, ballet, embroidery, astronomy, ghost, etc. there seems to be something for everyone.
"… I had the idea of Facilitutors - the education destination, which offers very reasonably priced advertising to venue owners, tutors and course providers and is a one stop shop for anyone looking for a course or a venue in France. If you can't find what you're looking for, I will do my best to find it for you, for free."
One of the activities 'pig keeping' is not for me but 'Savons-Fabrication'(soap making) could come in handy if the economy goes into recession or my job is off-shored.
You can learn a language and not only, and here is the beauty of it, combine it with an activity. For example I saw a course Spanish + Yoga in Ecuador, and not expensive but
Yo puedo hablar espanol so I would like to learn French + Fitness/Bodybuilding. I would take a 2/3 weeks intensive course just to help me to get by in French and look like Jason Statham at the end :). Double – win.
However, I could not find this combination so I might settle for French + Golf (I have never played golf before so this would be an opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone = learn 2 things during the short vacation we usually have in North-America in comparison with Europe, but better to have a job and a short vacation rather than no job at all.

Reviewers recommend Eagle Creek luggage more than any other brand, and they say the Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 (*Est. $280) is a particularly great wheeled carry-on pick. It's lightweight, sturdily built and carries an unconditional lifetime warranty that even covers airline damage. A tester at Wired is impressed by this bag's "knobby" tires, which handle concrete, carpet or dirt with ease. The Tarmac 22 carry-on also features coil zippers, multiple grab handles and interior compression "wings" to help you maximize the amount you can squeeze into this small bag. However, the multitude of interior pockets and compartments that caught the fancy of reviewers at Wired and USA Today are no longer a part of this bag, which has since been redesigned. Instead, it has a single large interior compartment with a couple of flat pockets in the lid. Though the bag remains highly rated, that change is not a positive -- the most common complaint we saw in user reviews is that this bag does not have enough pockets to help with organization.
At 14 by 9 by 22 inches, the Tarmac 22 just meets the normal airline size limit for carry-ons. However, when expanded, it grows a couple of inches deeper. A couple of users at Amazon.com report having trouble fitting the bag into overhead bins. For those who want to make absolutely sure their bag fits in the bin, a 20-inch Eagle Creek Tarmac (*Est. $275) carry-on is also available. A bigger version, the Eagle Creek Tarmac 25 (*Est. $310), wins a head-to-head durability test against four other lightweight suitcases at CNNMoney.com, which reports that its nylon shell "never ripped or even scuffed."
The ultimate frequent travelers -- pilots and flight attendants -- often say they use Travelpro, the original wheeled luggage invented by a Northwest Airlines pilot in 1987. We found good user reviews of the Travelpro Crew 8 22-inch Expandable Rollaboard Suiter (*Est. $160) at Amazon.com and LuggageOnline.com. (An older model, the Crew 6, is named the runner-up wheeled bag in a segment on the CBS news program "The Early Show.") The smaller Travelpro Crew 8 20-inch Expandable Rollaboard Suiter (*Est. $150) is also popular at LuggageOnline.com and is named the best bag for business travel in a roundup of rolling bags in Real Simple magazine. One especially popular feature on this bag is the "business organizer" pocket, with compartments for a smartphone and laptop -- although some users say larger laptops might not fit.
Users say both Crew 8 bags are sturdy and lightweight, and they hold a surprising amount for their size. They also find the bags easy to maneuver. The handles seem to be the bags' weakest point; we saw several reports that they either broke or got stuck. A few users who have owned older Travelpro bags say the brand's quality has dropped in recent years; compared with the older Crew 4 and Crew 5 bags, they say, the Crew 8 has fewer organizational features and flimsier construction. However, most owners are happy with the Crew 8 line.
Another rolling suitcase that fares well in both professional and user reviews is the eBags Mother Lode TLS Junior 25\" Wheeled Duffel (*Est. $200). This bag has one large main section with a smaller top pocket, and it comes with movable shelves to help you organize your belongings. Ted Alan Stedman of Outside magazine recommends the Mother Lode TLS Junior in the 2010 Summer Buyers' Guide, describing it as a sturdy and practical all-purpose case with "rock steady" wheels. At 25.5 by 16 by 14 inches, this bag exceeds the maximum size for carry-ons, although some owners at eBags.com say they have managed to squeeze it into the bin. Users generally describe this bag as durable, lightweight and incredibly roomy. The biggest downside they report is the lack of a side handle. For those who prefer a carry-on, eBags also offers the smaller Mother Lode TLS Mini 21-inch Wheeled Duffel (*Est. $190), which gets equally enthusiastic feedback from users.
For infrequent travelers, experts at Fodors.com say even discount-store luggage should be fine. However, if you travel more than once or twice a year -- or if a broken zipper or lost wheel would ruin your trip of a lifetime -- then travel experts say it's worth investing in more substantial (and often more expensive) luggage, preferably with a lifetime warranty that covers accidental damage (like the Eagle Creek bags above). Owners generally report more quality-related flaws with budget luggage; the zippers, wheels and handle are most apt to cause problems.
Still, there's a difference between high-quality luggage, which typically falls into the $100 to $300 range, and "luxury" luggage, which can cost anywhere from $300 to $2,000 for a single bag. Luxury brands, such as Briggs & Riley, Hartmann and Tumi, distinguish themselves by their styling and attention to detail. However, their high price tags don't necessarily guarantee better quality. In one test conducted by CNNMoney.com, for instance, a Tumi carry-on bag receives a D grade after a round of battering produces a hole in the nylon and exposes part of the internal frame. By contrast, a Delsey bag costing one-quarter as much receives a grade of B-minus. In the forums at FlyerTalk.com, frequent travelers praise Briggs & Riley bags in general, but Tumi seems to get more negative comments than positive ones. No single piece of luggage made by these high-end brands earns as many favorable reviews as the top-rated Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 or Red Oxx Air Boss -- or even the top budget-priced bags from L.L.Bean and eBags.
One feature that used to set luxury bags apart from their lower-priced counterparts was their lifetime warranties, which insured travelers not only against manufacturing defects, but also against damage caused by aggressive airline baggage handlers. However, lifetime guarantees of this kind are no longer limited to high-end brands. Red Oxx, a midrange brand, offers an unconditional lifetime warranty on all its products, as does bargain brand L.L.Bean. The midrange brand Eagle Creek also offers a "no matter what" warranty on some of its bags. Tumi, by contrast, now offers only a five-year warranty -- and accidental damage is covered during the first year only.

5 Stars! Amazing!
By SarahJayne (2 reviews) from Sheffield , 25 Nov 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
The final instalment in Steig Larsson's Millenium triology is nothing short of perfection and the film adaptation isn't too bad either. Usually I hate any film which is an adaptation from a book but this one is done really well and this final book/film is just above and beyond with tension, twists and turns! I really wish there were more to come. Lisbeth is fighing in this film to clear her name as mentally disturbed as well as recovering from being shot, buried alive and beaten. Noomi Rapace plays her amazingly I find it hard to believe another actress is out there that can better this performance (good luck Hollywood). I recormmend this film to everyone, go out and enjoy the genuis that is the girl who kicked the hornets' nest!!!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

(275)All done...boo hoo
By kazeykazy (13 reviews) from Glasgow , 01 Jun 2013Wow! The acting just blew me away - I'd been dubious about the cast in the previous one because I'd really liked the Swedish version. If you like courtroom drama, this one's for you. I give this last one gets top marks for all the cast and wonderful photography. But I'm so sad it's all over....- Was this review helpful to you?

Superb Climax.
By Kowalski (38 reviews) , 20 Jan 2013The final film in the trilogy doesn't disappoint. There is more plot and less action, but that compliments the rollercoaster of The Girl Who Played With Fire well. My only problem with this film is that it is the last one: when a character is this strong you feel that there is still potential for development.- Was this review helpful to you?

Still very good...
By SiSlayRD500 (136 reviews) from Solihull , 02 Jan 2013I thought this was still very good, did not quite have the pace of the first two, but this is due to the storyline and necessary. As before, well acted, well told story and engaging. Recommended for anyone that dosn't mind subtitles - I'd definitely recommend watching the trilogy!- Was this review helpful to you?

Needs to be watched
By olddown (5 reviews) , 06 Dec 2012Not a patch on the other two In fact I rate them in chronological order The first is almost as good as the book, but by the third the book is in a different league - read it!- Was this review helpful to you?

the end of the story
By davsato (8 reviews) from Fareham , 23 Nov 2012not boring, but lets say the least exciting and slowest of the trilogy. but if youve seen the other two youve got to watch it to finish the story!- Was this review helpful to you?

Drive into the grounds of Cloughjordan House and drive into a little bit of Irish paradise. This 400 year old country house situated a few moments drive from the
Cloughjordan House provides a first class offering in the Good Food Ireland Culinary Accommodation bracket. The proportions of this elegant building make for a very comfortable stay. Eight acres of land provide quiet places to stroll. Morning coffee or afternoon tea on the lawn is pure delight. Bedrooms in the main house have heaps of period features, but facilities are up to the minute modern. The large separate bathroom dedicated to one of the double rooms has a sauna and walk in wet room.
Other rooms are ensuite – with equally spacious bath and shower rooms. Two rooms above the Cloughjordan Cookery School also on site here are built into the eaves – these are neatly proportioned and full of charm from the sloping ceilings and country décor. Outside, country garden deck chairs and loungers are positioned to catch the sun when it shines. Happy hens have their own run on the lawns here and lay gorgeous eggs as a result. The couple have recently established a herd of free range pigs which will make superlative sausages and bacon for the breakfast menu when they are mature enough.
Food at Cloughjordan House
Breakfast can be taken in the large and friendly family kitchen in the main house, or in a more formal dining room. Peter is often in charge of proceedings in the mornings. He'll quite happily rise early to make freshly squeezed orange juice and bake brown bread to be served with Sarah's home made preserves, and then cook a top class Full Irish for residents of the house. Overnight guests can enjoy an intimate evening dinner cooked by Sarah on request. As a recent graduate of the intensive Ballymaloe Cookery School professional cookery course run under the expert tutelage of Darina Allen, Sarah knows what it means to be able to pick your own veggies and herbs to add to local meat or fish for a superb supper.
Vegetables come from the house's newly established gardens and the dedicated farm gardens of the Eco Village of Cloughjordan. At dinner time, Peter easily slips into the role of host – he's a natural who loves filling his home with guests who really appreciate its age and character - and the good food ethos which drives the couple.
"The balance of Sarah's professional food knowledge and Peter's full on enthusiasm as host and events organiser is well struck. Between them, the couple make this piece of paradise a charming place to stay and enjoy a gourmet break which highlights the best ingredients Ireland has to offer. We are very much looking forward to visiting again and we think when you go there, you'll be in a hurry to return too."
Diane Curtin, Inspector, Good food Ireland

Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!
Hi! I'm an honors economics graduate from UC Berkeley specializing in macro and micro economics as well as intro economics courses. I've had the opportunity to work with Obama economic advisor Professor David Romer for my honors thesis, serve as an Economist for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and as an Economic Consultant for Deloitte. I also have two years of teaching experience as a top English instructor in South Korea's largest English academy Chungdahm Learning. Economics is a way to analyze the world. I hope to simplify the economic principles so that my students can develop an intuition to logically answer any question they may find in their courses. Basketball: I am currently in my first year of coaching basketball. I love it! My National Junior Basketball (NJB) 7th and 8th grade team is currently the top ranked Palo Alto team. I love coaching kids and have a natural ability to connect with my players.Recently I've received praise that I'll always cherish as a bball coach:A player's mother told me that of all the coaches her son has played for, including current NBA player Jeremy Lin, I was by far the best coach in her son's opinion. She told me that this season was the first she's ever seen her son get "pumped up" to go to practice. My team has fun playing together and improving. I am very involved in practices and enjoy getting a workout by playing with and challenging my players first hand.

I have been fortunate to have picked up good study habits from a young age, which allowed me to excel at all stages throughout my education career. I have worked with elementary, junior high and high school students preparing to make the transition to the next level. From my experience I have found that the greatest obstacle in achieving success is actually a mental hurdle-- either believing the material is more difficult or complicated than it actually is, downplaying their own abilities, or...

1/26 Update: You can call me soothsayer. Avatar has sunk Titanic and is now the highest-grossing movie of all time!
Confession: While I was watching Avatar, I found myself mumbling, "I want to go to there," as I grabbed at the three-dimensional floating mountains in front of me. But the best films are those that entertain while also sparking important conversations, and Avatar is certainly one of those films. Through a mastery of CGI and an unparalleled script, Cameron beautifully shows that all nature is interconnected and that all beings—no matter their species or race—deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity.
For making a film with an overarching message of decency, understanding, and compassion—as well as breathtakingly beautiful CGI that heralds a new era in filmmaking (one that we hope marks the coming end of the use of live animals in entertainment)—we have awarded James Cameron our 2010 Proggy Award for Outstanding Feature Film.
Avatar has already become the second-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide (the number one blockbuster of all time is Titanic), truly making Cameron the "King of the World." My prediction: Cameron will beat his own global box-office record with Avatar (and pick up an Oscar or 10 on the way) long before I'm done learning to speak Na'vi.

Nothing ruins a road trip more than seeing an 18-wheeler driving down the highway crammed tight with animals destined for slaughter. From state to state, regardless of weather, animals are carted from factory farms and feedlots—where they suffer short, miserable lives—to slaughterhouses, where their throats are cut or they are scalded alive in baths of hot water. In transit, they are forced to face the blazing summer heat or freezing winter winds while being deprived of food, water, or rest—and sometimes they become the victims of highway accidents.
Today, we're thrilled to report that at PETA's request, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has instructed its 8,000 inspectors in procedures to help enforce the 28-Hour Law—a federal statute requiring that cows, pigs, and other farmed animals be fed, watered, and allowed to rest after 28 hours on the road. As a result of this regulatory nudge, transport conditions will improve for the estimated 50 million farmed animals who are annually transported for long distances and denied their basic necessities.
The FSIS's notice to its inspectors helps address the deplorable treatment of animals in transit from factory farms to slaughterhouses. A former pig transporter told PETA that pigs are "packed in so tight, their guts actually pop out their butts—a little softball of guts actually comes out." In hot weather, many cows who are on their way to slaughter collapse in the heat, and in the cold, cows sometimes freeze to the sides of the truck until workers pry them off with crowbars. Like cows and pigs, chickens are usually given no food or water and are shipped through all weather conditions. People who spot chicken-transport trucks on the highway frequently report seeing the heads of dead and dying chickens protruding from the crates.
We applaud FSIS for informing its inspectors of how they can report suspected violations of the 28-Hour Law for investigation. Of course, the only true way to prevent the suffering of animals used for food is to go vegan, but with these landmark actions, what was once a nightmarish and often fatal trip will hopefully become a little more bearable.
Simon Cowell's Idol judgments come out in quick-witted doses, but he knows that the decision to adopt an animal companion is a weighty one that must be given long and meaningful thought. When Simon heard that X Factor winner Alexandra Burke wanted a dog, he apparently convinced her to slow down and reconsider, telling her that she wouldn't have time to care for a dog properly.
With more and more celebrities succumbing to a fad that means dogs get passed around like knickknacks or abandoned in animal shelters, Simon's useful and kind message is a life saver: The responsibility of living with animal companions—who require veterinary care, love, and tons of real attention—is one that everyone should take seriously.
Ricky Gervais' comedic gold at Sunday's Golden Globes was almost enough to help me get over Jane Lynch's loss. The news that prompted my speedy recovery? Hearing that every nominee got a copy of our new DVD, "Glass Walls," in their gift bags. Narrated by Paul McCartney, who presented the Best Animated Film Globe to Up, "Glass Walls" goes inside slaughterhouses to show people what really happens to animals before they end up on dinner plates:
The only celebrity with a voice as delightfully inimitable as Paul's? Alec Baldwin, whose narration of "Meat Your Meat" remains iconic for proud PETA supporters everywhere and who took home his third (!) Golden Globe for his brilliant work on 30 Rock. At this point, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association should really just call the category Best Performance by Alec Baldwin and nominate Jack Donaghy's five best episodes.
The situation in Haiti is obviously bleak for all living beings. PETA is asking rescue and relief agencies on the ground in Haiti—some with rescue dogs from the U.S. and Europe who are helping locate trapped people—to please spare a moment if they can to aid any suffering animal by offering scraps, drops of water, or any other emergency assistance possible. We are offering funding for any emergency services, including for euthanasia to put badly injured animals out of their misery. We are appealing to every kind member of earthquake specialist teams as well as EMS personnel, news reporters, and any other person who is in everyone's debt already for going about the vital task of searching for and rescuing human beings.
All living beings—no matter what their species—deserve the kindness of others. We also ask aid personnel who come across animals who are suffering without any hope of being saved to attempt to be strong and to quickly—and as humanely as possible—put them out of their misery.
Keep checking our blog for updates on the disaster in Haiti and for ways you can help the country's animals.
The following is a guest post from Joyce Poole, co-founder of Elephant Voices—an organization whose aim is to increase awareness of the intelligence and wonder of elephants. Joyce has a Ph.D. in elephant behavior from Cambridge University and has studied the social behavior and communication of elephants for more than 30 years. She was an expert witness in the recent trial against Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus. This post originally appeared on ElephantVoices' blog.
In the final days of December, in the case against Ringling Bros. Circus for their abuse of elephants, Judge Sullivan ruled against animal welfare advocates on technical grounds. He did not address the merits of the case nor the expert opinions that we spent years preparing and weeks presenting in court.
This is a hollow victory for Ringling; It certainly isn't a vindication of their brutal training and management practices. The trial brought into the public domain the depth of abuse practiced by the circus. This particular battle has been lost, but although Ringling might think they have achieved a victory, they have in fact been significantly wounded. The war will yet be won as more and more people give their own verdict.
Ironically, the judgment was announced just days after additional abuse of baby elephants surfaced—this time one of Ringling Bros.' own employees blew the whistle, ashamed by his own treatment of baby elephants. You can read and see some of the horrific photos in the Washington Post's coverage here.
I reviewed reams of evidence against Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus as an expert witness, so I am well acquainted with their abusive treatment of elephants. Yet, the late Samuel Haddock's description of the babies' screaming and the harrowing images of their straining against the ropes and chains and being poked, prodded, and manhandled brought tears to my eyes.
The only reason why a bullhook has a steel point is to inflict pain. Deprivation, force, and pain form the basis of the training that baby elephants undergo to perform in the circus. Thereafter, restraint, deprivation, and attempts to avoid pain keep elephants in circuses under constant control.
Elephants in circuses are mere commodities for human entertainment: Prevented from behaving naturally and forced to perform behaviors never seen in nature, they are bought and sold, poked and prodded, separated from companions, confined, and chained on concrete and on trains. It is insincere to allow children to believe that elephants in circuses are living an acceptable life when the evidence for the opposite is overwhelming.
Ringling's treatment of elephants is outdated, ignorant, and inhumane. Progressive Norway intends to ban the use of elephants in circuses. India has already done so. Isn't it time for America and other so-called enlightened countries to follow suit?

My husband choked back his laughter the one time I mentioned that I was a cheerleader way, way back in high school. I wasn't surprised or offended by his reaction—not only did I retire my miniskirts a long time ago, I've also always been a klutz. But back in those days, I could do the splits, no problemo.
Well, I couldn't stop myself from doing cartwheels after I watched PETA's End of Year 2009 video. Miraculously, I did so without knocking over any lamps, but you might consider clearing any breakables before you view.
From celebrity ads and PSAs to our Ringling Bros. undercover investigation and every single demonstration held by our supporters, PETA was a force to be reckoned with in 2009. If that video doesn't have you convinced, check out our first-ever map of accomplishments. Head over there, click around, and read all about the victories, protests, investigations, and other events that helped make a difference for animals last year.
Now that we've cheered PETA's efforts and accomplishments during 2009, let's look ahead: Tell us how you'll be helping animals in 2010.

Some of my best friends r bitches... Its ALWAYS fake fur. I don't do the real shiz. My rekords called ANIMAL!I dont do fur!duhh—Tweet from Ke$ha
I wake up every morning feeling like Ke$ha (clearly, the radio station my alarm is set to has flawless taste). And now that she's blasted recent reports that the fur coat she wore on Wendy Williams' talk show was real, via Twitter, she and fellow fur-shunner Gaga will always be my go-to ladies when it comes to synth-pop.
With this Billboard music chart-topper speaking up for animals who are skinned alive for the fur industry, I'd love to see Ke$ha bare it all in one of our anti-fur ads. A Ke$ha-Gaga double feature, anyone?
This is my confession, Usher. When I read that you'd fallen victim to a robbery over the holiday season, I felt bad for you. Someone ripped off your unreleased music and you lost more than $1 million in jewelry! Tough blow. But I hope you realize that you weren't the only victim. Considering that the original owners of the fur coats stolen from your car—the animals—were probably skinned alive, I'd say you got off lucky.
Instead of stealing other animals' skins, I'd love to see you make a donation we can all benefit from. It's been three months since Glee's "Confessions"-"It's My Life" mash-up, and we're dying for more.
So, to sum: Glee donations = good, fur = bad. Robbery = hassle, being skinned alive = horrific. I hope that you will listen when we urge you not to replace the fur coats and to take our pledge to be fur-free.
After all, they call you U-S-H-E-R R-A-Y-M-O-N-D—it would be great if we could call you C-O-M-P-A-S-S-I-O-N-A-T-E.
There are plenty of movies about basketball that will make any true sports fan groan: BASEketball, Space Jam, The Air Up There … but I'd willingly sit through a marathon of those movies before setting foot into a gymnasium that allows "donkey basketball" to take place.
Donkey basketball is cruel and, just as the name suggests, more ludicrous than anything the movies could ever concoct. During this "sport," which some schools use as a fundraiser, high school students ride donkeys, and the animals are subsequently dragged, kicked, and punched by participants who have no animal-handling experience. The game sends the message to kids that it's OK to torment and humiliate those who are weaker than they are. And in order to keep the donkeys from having "accidents" on the court, the animals are often deprived of food and water for hours before the "games."
Beating, starvation, and thirst—sounds like a ball, right? Yet Streator High School in Illinois plans to hold one of these "games" as a fundraiser next Monday. We've already written to the school urging the superintendent to cancel the game and implement a policy against the use of live animals for entertainment. Now we are asking you to urge Streator High School to cancel this barbaric event. If you know of any schools or organizations in your area that intend to host a donkey basketball game, ask them for a permanent ban on the use of live animals for entertainment as well.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail email@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

The Topeka Zoo's efforts to keep its elephants are tied to a responsibility to promote conservation of the species, zoo director Brendan Wiley said Wednesday.
Wiley expanded on a presentation he made earlier this week to the Topeka City Council in which he outlined paths the zoo is considering for the future of its elephant program.
Those options include expanding the current exhibit or replacing it with one of a different species.
"We probably need to get all the way in or all the way out," Wiley said.
In his presentation, he said the zoo was doing its due diligence in consulting with outside experts. City manager Jim Colson said he expects a decision by the end of the month.
But Wiley said Wednesday one of the things he has heard from several consultants is: "You've got healthy elephants here. Why would you consider risking that by moving them?"
The Topeka Zoo houses Sunda, 52, an Asian elephant, and Tembo, 42, an African elephant. Tembo's right tusk was removed in 1990. Other than that, the zoo says, the elephants haven't experienced any serious health issues.
In 2007, the city invested $1.7 million into the elephant program, building a new barn and exhibit enhancements.
Citing a recent "paradigm shift" in the zoo community, Wiley outlined a case for zoos in Topeka's size range to use elephant exhibits to fight dwindling populations in Africa and Asia.
"In North America," Wiley said, "zoos work with elephants for the purpose of conservation and literally connecting people to wildlife. We study how people learn, and we know that when a person has an opportunity to connect with a living animal, that connection is stronger, it lasts longer and people care more."
The hope is the connections made on the local level can influence people's decisions and attitudes toward animals on a global level. If a company opts to use sustainable palm oil plantations, he said, it helps protect wildlife in Asia.
Wild elephant populations are critically endangered in Asia, and two-thirds of the wild African elephant population has been wiped out in the past 25 years, Wiley said. As human populations grow, and people need more food, there are more conflicts between humans and elephants over crop protection.
Because of the alarming population trend, zoo conservation efforts have never been more important, Wiley said.
"What we know about the population of elephants that live in zoos today is that it is old," he said. "And over the next 20 to 30 years, as elephants naturally get older and die, there's going to be half the number of elephants in zoos then as there are today."
Zoos with a smaller collection of elephants need to identify "what their focus is, what their future role is going to be," Wiley said.
In Topeka, he said, "we want to be a leading, active player in elephant conservation."
That could mean expanding the program to include breeding programs, and the zoo says the footprint for a larger exhibit exists with the current zoo. An investment to expand could define the future of the zoo.
The alternative would be to replace the exhibit with a different species, an undertaking that would have a ballpark cost of $350,000 to $500,000. The zoo would have to determine what animal it would like to bring in and overhaul the existing facility to accommodate the species, Wiley said. The cost would vary depending on the species and the extent of renovation it would require.
Before making a decision, public meetings are scheduled for Oct. 9 and 13.

It is applicable to all users of the Services and is effective upon your initial sign-up for the Service or upon your continued usage of the Service if you previously accepted different terms. Key terms are defined in Section 9. You may also need to use other Microsoft web sites and online services to access and use the Services (for example, your Microsoft Account), and if so, the terms of use associated with those web sites or online services apply to your use of them.
Right to use. We grant you the right to access and use the Services and to install and use Software made available through the service, as further described in this agreement. We reserve all other rights.
Manner of use. You may use the Product only in accordance with this agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or work around technical limitations in the Product, except where applicable law permits it despite this limitation. You may not disable, tamper with or otherwise attempt to circumvent any mechanism that limits your use of the Product. You may not rent, lease, lend, resell, transfer, or sublicense any Product to or for third parties.
Customer Data. You are solely responsible for the content of your Customer Data. You must have sufficient rights to use and distribute Customer Data (including Customer Data sourced from third parties) necessary for us to provide you the Services without violating the rights of any third party, or otherwise obligating Microsoft to you or to any third party. Microsoft does not and will not accept any obligations set forth in any separate license or other agreement that may apply to Customer Data or your use of the Products.
We may make Non-Microsoft Products available to you through the Portal or other means. The use of a Non-Microsoft Product will be governed by separate terms between you and the third party providing that Non-Microsoft Product. Microsoft, however, assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the Non-Microsoft Product.
You are solely responsible for any Non-Microsoft Product that you install or use with the Services. We are not a party to and are not bound by any terms governing your use of Non-Microsoft Product.
If you install or use any Non-Microsoft Product with the Services, then you, not Microsoft, direct and control the installation and use of it in the Services through your actions (for example, through your use of application programming interfaces and other technical means that are part of the Services). We will not run or make any copies of such Non-Microsoft Product outside of our relationship with you.
If you install or use any Non-Microsoft Product with the Services, you may not do so in any way that would subject our intellectual property or technology to obligations beyond those included in this agreement.
Responsibility for your accounts. You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any non-public authentication credentials associated with your use of the Services. You must promptly notify our customer support team about any possible misuse of your accounts or authentication credentials, or any security incident related to the Services.
Updates. We may make changes to the Services from time to time, including: the availability of features; how long, how much or how often any given feature may be used; and feature dependencies upon other services or software. We will provide you with prior notice before removing any material feature or functionality (excluding Previews), unless security, legal or system performance considerations require an expedited removal.
Preview features. We may make features available on a Preview basis. Previews may be subject to reduced or different security and support commitments, as further explained in any additional notices provided with the Preview. We may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice. We also may choose not to release a Preview into "General Availability", and if we do make Previews "Generally Available" we may charge for any such features.
Security. We maintain technical and organizational measures intended to protect Customer Data against accidental loss or change, unauthorized disclosure or access, or unlawful destruction.
Privacy and data location. We treat Customer Data in accordance with our Privacy Statement. Subject to any restrictions set forth in the Privacy Statement, we may transfer to, store, and process Customer Data in any country where we or our Affiliates or subcontractors have facilities used for Services. We are a data processor (or sub-processor) acting on your behalf, and you appoint us to do these things with Customer Data in order to provide the Services to you. You will obtain any necessary consent from others whose personal information or other data you will be hosting in the Service.
Ownership of Customer Data. Except for Software we license to you, as between the parties, you retain all right, title and interest in and to Customer Data. We acquire no rights in Customer Data, other than the right to host Customer Data on Microsoft systems, including the right to use and reproduce Customer Data within Microsoft systems solely for such hosting purposes.
Use of Customer Data. We will use Customer Data only to provide you the Services. This use may include troubleshooting to prevent, find and fix problems with the operation of the Services and ensuring compliance with this agreement. It may also include improving features for finding and protecting against threats to users. We may use usage patterns, trends, and other statistical data derived from Customer Data to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services and Software and any Microsoft products and services used to deliver the Services.
Third party requests. We will not disclose Customer Data to a third party (including law enforcement, other government entity, or civil litigant; excluding our subcontractors) except as you direct or unless required by law. Should a third party contact us with a demand for Customer Data, we will ask the third party to contact you directly and may provide your basic contact information to the third party. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a third party, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of a disclosure unless legally prohibited. You are responsible for responding to requests by a third party regarding your use of Services, such as a request to take down content under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Subcontractors. We may hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as customer support. Any such subcontractors will be permitted to obtain Customer Data only to deliver the services we have retained them to provide, and they are prohibited from using Customer Data for any other purpose. We remain responsible for our subcontractors' compliance with the obligations set forth in this agreement.
Compliance with law. We will comply with all laws applicable to our provision of the Services, including applicable security breach notification laws, but not including any laws applicable to you or your industry that are not generally applicable to information technology services providers. You will comply with all laws applicable to your Customer Data, and use of the Services, including any laws applicable to you or your industry.
Agreement Term and termination. This agreement will remain in effect unless terminated by either party.
Customer Data return and deletion. You may access your Customer Data made available through the Service at any time. You may delete your Customer Data at any time . If you terminate your account we may delete Customer Data immediately without any retention period. You agree that we have no additional obligation to continue to hold, export or return Customer Data and that we have no liability whatsoever for deletion of Customer Data pursuant to these terms.
Regulatory. In any country where any current or future government regulation or requirement applies to us, but not generally to businesses operating there, presents a hardship to us operating the Services without change, and/or causes us to believe this agreement or the Services may be in conflict with any such regulation or requirement, we may change the Services or terminate the agreement. If we use this subsection 3(c) of the agreement to change the Services, then you may terminate this agreement.
Suspension. We may suspend your use of the Services if: (1) reasonably needed to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Data; (2) you fail to respond to a claim of alleged infringement under Section 3 within a reasonable time; or (3) you violate other terms of this agreement. A suspension will apply to the minimum necessary part of the Services and will be in effect only while the condition or need exists. We will give notice before we suspend, except where we reasonably believe we need to suspend immediately. If you do not fully address the reasons for the suspension within 60 days after we suspend, we may terminate this agreement and delete your Customer Data without any retention period.
Termination for nonusage. We may terminate this agreement and/or delete any Customer Data automatically generated during the sign up process if you fail to upload or create any Customer Data within 90 days of your initial provisioning of the service. We will provide you with notice prior to any such termination or deletion.
Defense. We will defend you against any claims made by an unaffiliated third party that the Product infringes its patent, copyright or trademark or makes unlawful use of its trade secret. You will defend us against any claims made by an unaffiliated third party that any Non-Microsoft Product that is not made available through the Product or Customer Data you provide directly or indirectly in using the Product infringes the third party's patent, copyright, or trademark or makes unlawful use of its trade secret.
Limitations. Our obligations in subsection 5(a) will not apply to a claim or award based on: (1) Customer Data, Non-Microsoft Product, modifications you make to the Product, or materials you provide or make available as part of using the Product; (2) your combination of the Product with, or damages based upon the value of, a Non-Microsoft Product, data or business process; (3) your use of a Microsoft trademark without our express written consent, or your use of the Product after we notify you to stop due to a third-party claim; or (4) your redistribution of the Product to, or use for the benefit of, any unaffiliated third party.
Remedies. If we reasonably believe that a claim under subsection 5(a) may bar your use of the Product, we will seek to: (1) obtain the right for you to keep using it; or (2) modify or replace it with a functional equivalent. If these options are not commercially reasonable, we may terminate your rights to use the Product.
Obligations. Each party must notify the other promptly of a claim under this Section 5. The party seeking protection must (1) give the other sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim; and (2) give reasonable help in defending the claim. The party providing the protection will (1) reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it incurs in giving that help and (2) pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement that the other consents to). The parties' respective rights to defense and payment of judgments or settlements under this Section are in lieu of any common law or statutory indemnification rights or analogous rights, and each party waives such common law rights.

Software provided for use on devices. If the Software is provided to you with its own proprietary license terms, those terms control. If the Software does not have its own license terms, then you may install and use any number of copies of Software on your devices for use with Services.

Software provided for use within Services. We may provide you with the option of running Software within the Services (for example, in a build). Your use of the Software is subject to Microsoft's proprietary license terms contained in the Software, as modified below:
You may use such Software only within the Services and only in conjunction with your permitted use of any applicable Services role. To the extent of any conflict between this paragraph and the proprietary license terms contained in the Software, this paragraph controls.
You have no other rights under the Software's license terms or under this agreement to run the software (for example, you may not run copies on your on-premise servers or other devices unless you separately obtain the license to do so).
Effect of termination or expiration on Software. If this agreement is terminated then you must delete all copies of Software licensed under this agreement and destroy any associated media.
Other rights. Rights to access Software on any device do not give you any right to implement Microsoft patents or other Microsoft intellectual property in software or devices that access that device.
Third party software. Software may contain third party proprietary programs that are licensed under separate terms that are presented to you. Software may also contain third party open source programs that Microsoft, not the third party, licenses to you under Microsoft's license terms. Notices, if any, for the third party open source programs are included for your information only.
Third party licensed content. Third party scripts and code linked to or referenced from the Services are licensed to you by the third parties that own such code, and are not licensed by us other than for the purpose of viewing and interacting with the Services.

Assignment. You may not assign this agreement either in whole or in part.
Severability. If any part of this agreement is held unenforceable, the rest remains in full force and effect.
Waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of this agreement will not constitute a waiver.

Applicable law and venue. This agreement is governed by State of Washington law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles except that (1) if you are a U.S. Government entity, this agreement is governed by the laws of the United States, and (2) if you are a state or local government entity in the United States, this agreement is governed by the laws of that state. Any action to enforce this agreement must be brought in the State of Washington. This choice of jurisdiction does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief in any appropriate jurisdiction with respect to violation of intellectual property rights.
Entire agreement. This agreement (which includes the Privacy Statement, and the terms listed on the Portal) is the entire agreement concerning its subject matter and supersedes any prior or concurrent communications.
Survival. The following provisions will survive this agreement's termination: 1a–e, 2b–g, 3a–b, 4–6, 7c, and 8–9.

Co:Writer has made writing, not only fun, but successful for those students.
