Statement of Solidarity against HIV/AIDS
Over a span of a decade, our country still maintains its record within a level categorized as a low prevalent country in terms of HIV and AIDS. The present prevalence rate of our country remains a record low. On the other hand, the Philippines should remain to be vigilant and carefully watch the looming effects of this global concern. As reflected by the present character of the Filipino population, our society is relatively influenced and challenged by cultural diversities, economic hardships, hasty migration, and sexual identity issues. High-risk groups of the population become emerging priority concerns such as migrant workers, seafarers, female sex workers, men who have sex with men, youth population and a plenty of drug users.
Today, we are sounding off a strong voice that Red Cross is a part of an alliance and a campaign against HIV/AIDS. We are taking part in this campaign as an advocate in helping the affected population beset by the effects of HIV/AIDS and an active key player in the area of prevention and risk reduction. As one of its priority health issues, PNRC shall, as ONE organization, involve its services, in particular but not limited to, the Community Health and Nursing Services, Red Cross Youth, Social Services, and Blood Services towards a more strategic and effective HIV/AIDS Programme. We shall renew relationships with government and non-government organizations to make our programs more responsive to the needs and gaps.
We call on those people affected with HIV and AIDS to remain steadfast. The Filipino nation along with PNRC recognizes the need to respond to their special needs. Your role in society is not rendered meaningless. It gives you a noble opportunity to carry out a challenge to send everybody a warning. A stern reminder that irresponsible action can make other people infected.
We call on everyone to remain vigilant towards preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. A constant public health threat continues to plague our society thus PNRC should blow its horn as a beacon of humanity to take the lead in combating the spread of HIV and AIDS.
We call for an understanding of people affected with HIV/AIDS. Communities should realize its common responsibility of respecting everyone's right. A person living with HIV and AIDS deserves a place in the society and should be given opportunities to live with human dignity.
As an organization with its roots in the community, we are conveying our statement of commitment to take responsibility in fighting and curbing the disease and in helping people especially those affected by HIV and AIDS. To ensure that this call shall be put into action, we shall engage in partnerships with those who can teach us how we can serve better in line with achieving our major health goals thus contribute to the goals of the entire Health Sector. This action is part of the PNRC's continued commitment to alleviating human suffering at all levels and in vulnerable situations.

John Dallat: 'I lived in a house with bulletproof glass and I slept with a revolver at my bedside, but nothing hurt me like the time my car was attacked during a loyalist band parade'
The most probing interviews: John Dallat, East Londonderry SDLP MLA, on returning to politics, criticism over his retirement package and being branded a liar.
Q. You're 70 and married to Anne (64), your former PA, with whom you have two sons - Ronan (42) and Diarmuid (35), who are both managers - and a daughter, Helena (39), who works for your party colleague Patsy McGlone. You're also grandparents to four girls and two boys, aged between 14 and two. Where did you meet?
A. We met at a dance in a Protestant hall in Carndonagh, Donegal, where I was living in 1970, and where Anne's from. The Church of Ireland held a dance every Thursday night. I remember what she was wearing - a white poncho and pink hot pants. We got married on August 16, 1975, when I was 28 and Anne was 21. We toured around Ireland by car on honeymoon.
Q. Tell us about your parents, Dan and Ellen.
A. My father, a farm labourer, passed away when he was 70. He got bowel cancer 20 years earlier and survived, but then died of a heart attack. He'd gone to the doctor on Friday and died in his sleep the following night, January 31, 1988.
My mother suffered a stroke when she was 50. She was unconscious for 10 days in hospital and in a rehabilitation ward for two days before discharging herself. My dad became her carer. She died in 1998, a week before I was elected to the Assembly. Her postal vote came in but wasn't used. I'm sorry she didn't live long enough to know I got in as she was in many ways my mentor.
Q. You're one of six sons. Eamon (68) and Colm (65) are both retired civil servants, while Michael (64) works for the Housing Executive. Tell us about Tommy and Gerard, who sadly passed away.
A. Gerard, who was four years my junior, died in 1968 aged 15. He was starved of oxygen at birth and was both mentally and physically handicapped. My mother nursed him at home until he was nine, then he was admitted to Muckamore Abbey.
Tommy, a builder, was 60 when he died in 2010. He went into the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast for a routine operation to insert a valve in his heart, but it went horribly wrong. He survived two years in poor health, then he took a stroke and passed away.
Q. You were elected to Coleraine Council in 1977 and served as the town's first nationalist mayor from 2001 until 2002. You were an MLA from 1998 until 2016, then retired briefly before being elected again in 2017. Why politics?
A. Genuinely, I entered politics to change society, to represent people who had previously not been represented. Unemployment was high, housing was appallingly bad. In 1973 we had the first council elections. An invitation to attend the SDLP branch in Kilrea actually went to my brother, Michael, who was at university, so I went in his place and they were very keen to recruit me as a candidate. I said no because I was still teaching in Donegal.
In 1977 I put myself forward. I was influenced by a boycott campaign - posters appeared saying 'Boycott the elections', which I thought was morally wrong, so I threw my hat into the ring.
Q. You retired in 2016 but - as it says on your SDLP page - "re-entered frontline politics after the DUP and Sinn Fein spent eight months destroying everything he had dedicated his life to building". Explain that.
A. I was in Armenia working for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy when the snap election was called. Then, quite separate from that, was the party's decision not to select my successor. At that stage I learned there were two other candidates who'd expressed an interest.
Against that background I was absolutely certain that the SDLP would lose the seat and I felt that I had, in many ways, spent the best part of my life creating something that was different than what was being offered by the DUP or Sinn Fein.
Q. A row erupted at that time when you were chosen instead of party colleague Gerry Mullan. Did you two fall out?
A. I've never had an angry word with Gerry in my life. And I certainly didn't encourage people not to transfer their votes. Of all the campaigns I've been involved in, it was the most painful, the most hurtful and there were times I was sorry I bothered. There were posters put up portraying me as a bank robber.
Q. There was criticism when you stood again, as you'd retired with a package reportedly worth £48,000. How do you respond to your critics?
A. The sum I took was £23,000. I decided to take part of my pension in cash and that's what made it up to the higher figure, but the severance part - the bit that affects the taxpayer - was the £23,000.
If I'd known in advance what was going happen I wouldn't have retired, but at that stage my physical health wasn't good. I was working 18 hours a day, had high blood pressure and I was practically crippled with a bad knee. I did try to pay the money back, but it's not possible. It's normal for people moving from one job to another, whether they're retiring or not, to get severance pay.
Considering that I devoted more than half my working life, £23,000 is not a lot. The money was calculated and based on my 20 years' work. I get paid once for that. My pension was frozen immediately, so the residue of the pension won't be paid.
Q. Your car was attacked by a mob during a loyalist band parade last year. Did you fear for your life?
A. It was really scary. I was surrounded by people, including women. The most intimidating part was getting my photograph taken hundreds of times though the car window and being trapped and not knowing what was going to happen. It lasted about 10 minutes. I dialled 999 - the only time in my life - and two policemen came along and got me out. It's one of the most frightening things that's ever happened to me.
The band in question now accepts there was an incident. I was called a scumbag and a liar. The organisers of the parade initially denied that an incident took place and these denials were carried widely in the papers. It was unreal, and my daughter spent most of her time unfriending people who were putting the most vicious stuff about me on social media. One day I was walking along the street and someone shouted 'You're a liar, Dallat, I was at the parade'. Thankfully two people made statements to the police indicating that an incident took place. This is still being negotiated.
Q. Have there been any other incidents like that?
A. I lived in a house that had high security fences and bulletproof glass and I slept with a revolver at my bedside, but none of that hurt me like this did. I've had loads of death threats. During the 1980s, the infamous Torrens Knight (who took part in the 1993 Greysteel Massacre) lived about three miles from me. He was on a work scheme that I was associated with. The police spent 14 months guarding my house. Thank goodness the intelligence was good; they knew about planned attacks by the UDA/UFF. I've had police staying overnight.
Q. Do you believe in God? Do you have a strong faith?
A. I constantly struggle with my faith. I go to Mass every week.
Q. What is the most traumatic thing you've been through?
A. My dad being found dead in bed. My mother found him. Normally he made the breakfast and when he didn't appear... We were just in from Mass when the phone rang and she told us Daddy was dead.
That was difficult. With sudden death there's no farewells, no opportunity to say what you wanted to say, simple things like 'I love you'. It's just lights out.
Q. And what about death? Does it frighten you?
A. It does. It's the unknown.
Q. What's the most important piece of advice someone has ever given you?
A. Never encourage something that's outside the law and don't lead people down a road where there's no return.
Q. You're a member of St Vincent de Paul and Kilrea GAC. How do you relax outside politics?
A. I'm interested in vintage vehicles. I'm currently rebuilding a Morris Minor Traveller. I also have a 50-year-old Volkswagen Beetle.
Q. Which politician from another party do you most admire?
A. Alliance's Stewart Dickson. He's open and genuine.
Q. Who is your best Protestant friend?
A. The late John Robb, the eminent surgeon and former member of Seanad Eireann. I attended his service of thanksgiving recently in Ballywillan Presbyterian Church.
Q. What's your favourite place in the world?
A. The Aran Islands.
Q. What's your favourite place in Northern Ireland?
A.. Derry.
Q. What's your greatest achievement?
A. I have a gold blood donor's badge - for 50 pints.
Q. And what about nickname. Have you ever had one?
A. Puddler - for being constantly stuck in puddles as a child.
Q. What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
A. Deep sea diving on the SS Laurentic (which sank off the Donegal coast in 1917). I was working with a salvage company one summer. My job was to time the divers and do the cooking, but I went down to the wreck. To do that I should've had years of training, but one day down I went … 130 feet.
Q. Tell us something readers might be surprised to learn about you?
A. I write short factual stories.
Q. Who was your biggest inspiration growing up?
A. My mother. She was the matriarch. Her word was law. She was a strict disciplinarian.
Q. You were born in Rasharkin, Co Antrim, and grew up in Kilrea, Co Londonderry, where you still live. Happy childhood?
A. Our house was fairly basic. We didn't have running water or electricity, but we had the freedom of the countryside. We had animals - two goats, hens, pigeons and pigs.
Q. You went to St Columba's Primary, Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary in Ballymoney, Coleraine Tech, the North West Regional College, the University of Ulster and then NUI Galway. What did you study?
A. I did a postgrad degree in Rural Studies at Galway. Prior to that I did a commercial teacher's degree and my teacher training at UU. I taught Business Studies in Carndonagh Technical College (from 1968 to 1974) and at St Paul's College, Kilrea (1975 to 1998).
Q. You're a former deputy speaker of the Assembly. How do you feel about the current situation?
A. Worried. Too many times political vacuums have been filled by people who believe they can achieve their end by violence. The two main parties need to be aware of that. While they continue their brinkmanship they're going to make themselves irrelevant.
Q. If the Assembly collapses, what's next for you?
A. I'll write my autobiography.

Every week I talk to a Belgian who moved abroad and built a new life there. This week Maxim tells us about moving to the US.
1. Hi, Maxim! Please quickly introduce yourself. Tell us who you are, where you're from, where you moved to and when/why you moved.
My name is Maxim Van Deursen, originally from Roeselare. I studied Business Management and Marketing at the UC Leuven-Limburg. During the last year of my bachelor's I got the opportunity to study abroad for a semester. That year the only destination in the US was Cape Girardeau in Missouri.
I was the first Belgian exchange student that got to study at the Southeast Missouri State University in an American city of only 38,000 inhabitants, a 2-hour drive south from St Louis and a 2-hour drive north from Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi River. I left Belgium in August of 2015 and found an internship in Cape Girardeau, which I needed in order to graduate UC Leuven Limburg. Currently, I'm doing a prolonged internship until the end of August 2017.
2. What did you expect from the US and life there before moving? Did those expectations hold up?
Before moving to the US, I visited some of the big cities during summer. I have always been a big fan of New York City and Chicago because of the crowded atmosphere and the skylines with the tall buildings, together with the mix of different cultures from around the world. The Americans that live in the big cities are always very open and interested to know where that mysterious accent comes from.
In Cape, things are much calmer, given that this is a small city compared to NYC or Chicago. People are very welcoming and are interested in learning about Europe. This is a rural area and some people have never traveled outside the state of Missouri, or have never even been in a car ride of longer than 8 hours. Cape is rather rural, but I'm still not living between the cows and I still have that city feeling because of the many restaurants, stores and shops in this town.
3. What's the biggest difference between life in the US and life in Belgium?
Here in Missouri, the biggest difference is the weather. The sun is shining every day with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius from March till November, which is very nice of course. However, this is the Heartland so in winter it can get pretty cold around here. Last winter was better than expected, but it's possible that it's -5°C on Tuesday and 25°C on Thursday.
The friendliness and openness of people here is another big difference. They have a lot of questions, which was something I had to get used to in the beginning, but it's fun to keep the conversation going. They love to take you to the typical American events as well, such as Annual District fairs, public holidays, national parks, the history of Missouri etc. This is fun for me because that way I don't have to discover everything on my own and I get to hear their side of the story as well.
4. What's the best part about living in the US?
People's openness and their willingness to help, the cheap sales tax of 8% instead of the 21% in Belgium and the inexpensive housing in Missouri.
5. What do you like least about living in the US?
Some laws are rather strange, like the ban on alcohol usage for people under the age of 21 for instance. Restaurants and bars close at 1 a.m. in Missouri, this can be a bit early for a 24-year-old, especially during weekends. Luckily, there's always someone who decides to organize an afterparty at their house.
The big taxes on income are a bit painful, but then again, the fact that everything is much cheaper here balances that out.
6. What do you miss most about Belgium?
Chocolate and crispy bread. There are some European products you can buy here, but these are really expensive. The prices for French cheese start at $8-10 for just a small lump. People in Missouri are a big fan of soft bread and biscuits, while I love the crispy baguettes in Belgium and the choice between different sorts of fresh bakery products.
There are no real fry houses here, so it's really hard to find typical Belgian fried snacks. But you quickly get used to this and instead you get a whole range of products that you can't find in Belgium.
7. Is there something about Belgium that you don't miss at all?
The weather, the 21% sales tax, expensive gas prices (and the strikes by public transport companies).
8. Do you think you'll stay in the US? Or is there a chance you'll move abroad again someday?
At this moment we are in the process of looking into the possibility of being hired as a permanent employee. I would love to stay in this cozy city for a couple more years until I have put enough money aside to move to Downtown Chicago. I would only consider going back to Belgium during summer holidays, seeing that it is a long journey with at least one transfer to get from St Louis to Brussels.
9. Do you have any tips or advice for other Belgians who consider moving to the US?
It seems like a lot, but it's definitely worth it. Americans are really interested in networking and getting to know people, which makes it relatively easy to be accepted by them. Especially when you make an effort to be involved in the community, you'll get to know a lot of people in a short amount of time who will always be there to help you when you need it.
Don't let the permanent visa related uncertainty discourage you, it makes life a little bit more exciting and makes you appreciate the small stuff.
10. What are some tips you would give to people who are traveling to your region/city? Things they should visit or eat?
Cape Girardeau is located in between forests and national parks, on the banks of the Mississippi River. It is the perfect stop during a trip from Chicago to Atlanta because you are passing through St Louis, the Blues cafés in Elvis' Memphis, the country music saloons in Nashville, the Smokey Mountains with the American black bears, the Indian Reservations in Chattanooga and Atlanta. You will feel like you are traveling back in time.
Do not hesitate to buy a pair of cowboy boots, everybody wears them over here and they love it if you wear them too. Besides, they are really comfortable.
When you are in the region, you should definitely try the crawfish and the catfish. New Orleans, where you can taste the typical Jambalaya and alligator dishes, is an 8-hour drive away. But you will find those dishes here in Downtown Cape as well. Also, in Cape you can visit one of the many casinos that will remind you of Las Vegas, like the Isle Casino for instance.
At the end of summer I recommend visiting the Annual District fairs, at these typical American fairs you will be able to try fried Snickers, fried Oreos and smoked Turkey legs. Here you will find a lot of attractions as well as events such as tractor pulling, demolition derbies and rodeos.
Thanks, Maxim!
Pin for later

Take Notes
Make NotesBake Notes
Okay, very cute but what does it all mean?1. The first is self explanatory. It only makes sense that when you attend a workshop, you should take as many notes as possible on what you learn at conventions or talks or anytime you have the opportunity to hear a writer talk. Listen to how they got to working on their stories or books and make notes for yourself. You can pick up some good suggestions just from hearing how the process works.
2. Making Notes might also be self explanatory but it doesn't relate to the first idea. Make notes whenever you have an idea, no matter where you are. Make notes on whatever piece of paper you have handy. You never know if that idea will come again. I haven't had many an idea disappear totally from my brain when I tried to write it down later. As a result I now write down whatever idea I come up with as soon as possible. I have bank withdrawal slips with ideas written on the back. I also carry a tiny notebook in my purse for those crazy ideas that might pop up when I might be out and about.
3. Baking notes has nothing to do with cooking. It has to do with what to do with those ideas or notes once you have them written down. Don't just let them sit there and gather dust like I did with my many notes. Take them to the next level. Think through all those notes you have made and then think about where you might want to take them. Taking all those notes at a conference don't mean anything if you don't do something with them once you get home. Use them next time you sit down with a notepad or at the keyboard. As I went through those old notes, I found some great ideas I had forgotten about because I went to a conference, came home all fired up remembered what I had been told for a week and then let go of everything I had learned. But on the other hand, if you try using some of those ideas and putting them into practice even a few times then you'll get more out of the notes you've made. Even if the ideas don't work for you as presented, other things might stick and it might improve your output, your outlook or your overall writing.
Don't just write it down those ideas either, use them. Don' t just keep making notes on ideas. Try them out somehow. Play with them and make use of them. Perhaps they will send your current story into a new direction. Perhaps they will help you figure out what you want to do with a future story. But if you put them into action or expand them, you'll be better off in the future.
At least you won't just be stuck with a bunch of notes in a notebook that you can't remember , either where you got them or what you intended to do with them. So if you are going to make notes, or take notes, that be sure to bake those notes!
This week on Wednesday, in My Writing Corner I will be giving ideas I received at the recent Tony Hillerman Conference in Santa Fe where I got to spend some time hearing from mega best selling authors David Morell and John Sandford.

Whole Life Sports
Over twenty one years ago, Whole Life Ministries, a non-profit organization dedicated to the betterment of the Jamaican people,envisioned the amazing role that sport would play in radically transforming our nation's youth. Hence, Whole Life Sports(WLS) was born. Its mandate: "To be a catalyst for transformation". This metamorphosis would not be confined to the spiritual, but the overall development of man was of utmost importance. This transformation would not only benefit the individual's home, but his community, and ultimately the nation.
Presently, Whole Life Sports' programmes include maintaining and managing various church sports leagues and to date has gained the support of approximately 60 churches. WLS also conducts an annual Boys Kamp as well as KidsGames, a Global Community Game. Through this event hundreds of children are exposed to a fun-filled environment in which they are taught positive values and attitudes. Through partnerships with the church and the respective communities we have left an indelible mark on the lives of these leaders of tomorrow. WLS also campaigns throughout the island (as well as the Caribbean region) via conferences, clinics, and workshops to enlighten participants about the power of sports as a tool to effect change.

Near Police Killings, A Community With A Cycle Of Crime
The police shooting in New York occurred outside a public housing project that's had an increase in crime. Some are trying to reduce violence and debunk myths about those who live in public housing.
The officers killed Saturday were sitting in a squad car across from the Tompkins Houses, one of New York's many housing projects. The officers were part of a detail to respond to what police say was an increase in crime at the development. We're going to meet a man now who once lived there. He says young people at Tompkins sometimes resort to crime because they think life has little else to offer them. And as NPR's Pam Fessler reports, he is trying to change that attitude.
PAM FESSLER, BYLINE: Weeks before the shootings, I went to the Tompkins Houses to interview former resident Ephraim Benton. He's a 36-year-old actor who grew up there. And he's now trying to show younger residents that there's more to life than gangs and drugs and guns. He says there aren't always a lot of positive role models.
EPHRAIM BENTON: Mostly the mentors in here are the local drug dealers or gangsters. And that's where the kids growing up tend to look up to.
FESSLER: He knows because he was one of those kids before he got a second chance, which involved acting school and the start of a career. He's had roles in movies such as "Precious" and TV shows such as "Law & Order." And before long, Benton noticed that when he visited Tompkins he was kind of a star.
BENTON: Every time I come back and the kids would be like, oh, I saw you on this, and the parents - keep doing what you're doing. It's a great feeling. And I wish more people can experience that. And that's what I'm trying to, you know, show people the light.
FESSLER: So in recent years, Benton has organized programs like an outdoor summer movie series and Daddy Children's Day in Brooklyn, a family festival celebrating fatherhood. He is also one of the subjects of an exhibit at the Brooklyn Historical Society highlighting the achievements of public housing residents. It's intended to counter negative stereotypes to show that lots of people here work hard.
BENTON: I got the tickets - December 5.
FESSLER: As we talk, Benton calls out to a young man who walks by. He says he promised to take some local youths to a basketball game. Almost 3,000 people live in this complex in eight tall, brick buildings. Near us, some teens shoot baskets while several young boys play touch football on a grassy area just yards from where the officers were shot. Still, Benton says there isn't a lot here to keep kids occupied and out of trouble, that it's a vicious cycle.
BENTON: The more they get into trouble then the more prisons could be filled up and the more paying cops' salaries and, you know, more cops being around.
FESSLER: And indeed, the police presence here is very strong. Sirens blare repeatedly. And as we leave, Benton comments that we could have been hassled by the local cops - three adults sitting without kids in a playground.
Also with us is Rico Washington, who organized the exhibit at the Historical Society. After this past weekend's shootings, we spoke by phone. Washington worries that the killings will aggravate tensions in the area even though the shooter had nothing to do with the Tompkins Houses.
RICO WASHINGTON: That's very unfortunate that it happened right next to the community where there are a lot of people who are doing wonderful, great things. And I think all it does is it further compounds that stigma and that stereotype of public housing.

The internet is brimming with baby name possibilities, but for an expectant mom about to need to finally pick a name, none of them are ever enough. It's hard to pick the perfect name when there are now so many to pick from, but knowing a theme can certainly help. Rather than going with a popular and trendy name, opt instead for an exotic baby girl name.
It will help your little princess stand out and shine brightly on her own. Most of these 30 exotic names for a baby girl haven't been featured on too many lists, primarily because they are only now starting to trend for 2018.
When picking the perfect baby name, the last thing that we want as parents is to go for a now that ten other kids will have on the same playground. We all want a name that is unique and creatively fresh without being too over-the-top in terms of wackiness (cough celeb moms, cough).
Many of these exotic baby girl names come from various other countries and cultures, but the best part about them is that they nearly all have exemplary meanings that are sure to give your little one the best start in your life. After all, our names are our most important possessions.
30 Acadia
A very unique baby girl's name, Acadia has been making strides in terms of popularity this year. Just from last year, it has made a 2,167 point jump on the popularity chart, landing it now at #3,940, according to BabyCenter. It's not about to be in the top 1000 baby girl names any time soon, but it's still a trending baby name for 2018.
Acadia means "idyllic place", according to Nameberry, a meaning derived from Acadia, which was a New France colony in regions of North America that are now part of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and even Maine.
29 Ailsa
Love Elsa, but can't stand how popular it has become after Frozen? Then Ailsa is another very interesting variation of the popular name.
As a bonus, it doesn't actually have anything to do with the Frozen way of spelling this beautifully-sounding name. As Nameberry points out, Ailsa is of Scottish meaning and means "elf victory". Interestingly, ScottishGirlsNames.co.uk says that the meaning of this name has evolved into "supernatural victory." In either case, both meanings are quite unique and can be the inspiration behind a cute nursery theme.
28 Aine
Irish in origin, you might have already mispronounced Aine in your head. It's actually pronounced "AWN-ya" and is a name that has been quietly on the rise in terms of popularity. However, you could just as easily decide to pronounce it "Eyne".
While BabyCenter lists this name as meaning "joy", Nameberry also says that it means "brightness, splendor". Both meanings are wonderfully fitting for any little princess, especially if you're looking for a name that can't easily be shortened into a nickname.
27 Allegra
Although Allegra peaked in popularity in 2013, you'll be seeing a comeback in recent years. A beautiful baby girl name with Italian origins, Allegra means "joyful, merry", according to BabyCenter. As NameBerry points out, it's a name that is often added to "unique vintage baby names" as well.
For some time back in 2009, parents favored the Alegra spelling, but the popularity of this variation has drastically dropped since, but it's still worth considering if you want something less popular. Let's not forget the American ballerina Allegra Kent, who took the dancing world by storm, and also Donatella Versace, who named her daughter Allegra.
26 Alyona
Alyona is a popular name in Russian and while it's now turning into a name of its own, it's actually an adorable form of the even more popular name Elena. Pronounced Al-YO-na, it can also have equally as cute nicknames, such as Alyonka and Ayolina (although the latter wouldn't be a Russian nickname of this name).
It's also a name often used in Russian fairytales, so you can have your own little princess even if you aren't of Russian origin.
25 Amina
As a name of Arabic origin, Amina is an adorable baby girl name that has tremendously jumped in popularity since about 2012. It's one of those names that might just break into the top 100 baby names soon, but we have a feeling that it will actually finally start losing popularity. So if it's a name that you love, then don't worry about picking it. The chances of another girl sharing your daughter's name are still slim!
"I like this name a lot. I know a fabulous girl who had this name, she is hilarious beautiful and smart. Great name!" commented a user on Behind The Name.
24 Anya
Love the name Anna, but hate how popular it is, especially ever since the whole Frozen craze that isn't about to disappear any time soon? Then opt for the super cute name Anya instead.
As Anna is one of the top most popular names in Russia, Anya is actually a commonly used "cute" nickname for it, but it can totally be used as a name of its own too. According to Nameberry, it means "grace", which is great for anyone who loves the name Grace as a baby girls name, but who would rather stay away from that top American name!
23 Aviva
You're going to love the Hebrew meaning of Aviva, which as Namberry points out, means "springlike, fresh, dewy" – just like a newborn baby! According to them, Aviva is also "vivacious and memorable, a fresh spin on the Vivian and Vivienne names" and we couldn't agree more.
According to BabyCenter, it's also a name that is totally on the rise in terms of popularity, currently sitting at #2,371. It's also a great alternative to the famous "Avira" name that has been experiencing a slight resurgence.
22 Briony
With Bree being a popular name for a while, Briony is a fun and unique alternative. It has actually significantly increased in popularity since last year, so if you love this name, we suggest that you snag it quick! Since 2017, it has actually jumped by a whopping 3,095 points and now sits at 12,079, according to BabyCenter. It might experience an even bigger jump next year!
BabyCenter also lists this name as meaning "vine", which is cute in of itself, especially if you would rather stay away from the popular Ivy name.
21 Carina
Carina or Karina? Up to you to decide, but keep in mind that the K spelling is more popular. In terms of popularity, Carina experienced a huge boost in 1995 and is slowly starting to gain traction yet again.
As a Behind The Name user shared: "This is such a beautiful name. It's very simple and pretty. I hate when people name their children names like Katarina that just don't flow well and are too complex but this is simply a gorgeous simple name. I prefer the spelling Carina over Karina and I like Corrina (pronounced same way) even better than Carina."
20 Danique
So many parents are favoring either short name or those ending with an A, but Danique is a great option for anyone looking for something absolutely unique. According to Nameberry, it's the French variation of Danica and means "morning star".
If that wasn't beautiful enough, it's also a great alternative to ever-so-popular Monique. This name wasn't even on the charts in 2017 and only started trending in 2018. Although a bit of a stretch, it can also be super cute to use Dani as a nickname, similar to Dany from Game of Thrones.
19 Elitsa
Just like the Danique, this name too hasn't been on the charts for all that long. It only started being used in 2016 and is sure to increase in popularity from here on out as well.
Unlike most names, Elitsa also doesn't have much data on it as it appears to be a relatively new used name. According to some sources, it actually means "little fir tree". A variation of the name Eliza undoubtedly, Elitsa is a super cute baby girl name and definitely sounds exotic. Plus, unlike most other names on this list, it's still quite rare.
18 Femi
Femi is of African origin and as a user on Behind The Name points out: "It is also used independently to mean "love me" in Yoruba as both a male and a female name."
It certainly doesn't get cuter than that as a little girl's name! It's also a totally up-and-coming name that has only started ranking as of 2017. Interestingly, She Knows actually lists this name as being of Egyptian origins, also stating that little girls with this name have a high chance of getting bit by the travel bug.
17 Hattie
Hattie is the kind of name that you're going to either instantly love or hate. As a Behind The Name user pointed out her thoughts on the name: "I think this is a beautiful name. My cousin is named Hattie, & my great-grandmother was also called Hattie (although her real name was Hedwig). Hattie is an uncommon name, but sounds very pretty and unique."
This name means "estate ruler", according to Nameberry and is a preferred alternative to the old-fashioned name Harriet.
16 Imani
Look no further than Imani if you're on the hunt for a unique religious name. According to Nameberry, it's of Arabic origins and means "faith". As a name that has been steadily dropping in popularity for a couple of years, it's still a great option for any parent looking for a more exotic name. It's also a great alternative to the popular name "Iman".
As a user on Baby Name Wizard said: "I have a friend who named his daughter Imani. I think it has an exotic charm to it."
15 Kai
Look, I know that Kai has been a popular boys name for some time now, but it's actually on the rise on the girl side as well. Most boys name are actually being adapted to being fit for a little princess actually, and the same goes in reverse. So many names are becoming increasingly unisex and it's just a matter of taking a name you like and adapting it to fit your family.
With that being said, Kai is of Hawaiian origin and means "sea" according to Nameberry, which is a very cute association and could go amazingly well with a mermaid nursery and photoshoot theme!
14 Kaira
Love Keira or any other variation of that name? Then Kaira might totally be the name for your little princess. According to She Knows, Kaira is of Scandinavian origins and as it's said to be an abbreviation of the name Katherine, it's also supposed to mean "pure". That's kind of a stretch if you ask me, but it's still a nice one nonetheless!
BabyCenter for its part states that Kaira means"beloved" and "friend", both of which are certainly equally as great.
13 Kalene
The background on the name Kalene is slightly confusing. While Nameberry states that it's "one of those names that don't really exist as an official name in any culture", She Knows argues that it's a Polish and Czechoslovakian name that is a "flower name". The latter source also says that it's a Gaelic baby name that is a feminine form of Kyle.
In either case, Kalene is a beautiful baby girl name, especially since it only started rising in popularity in 2017.
12 Keely
Kelly is actually a popular name in Ireland. As a proud parent shared on Baby Name Wizard:
"We named our daughter Keely for several reasons. We wanted an uncommon name, and Irish name and a name with a meaning that was, well, meaningful. When we heard Keely, we liked it. When we saw that it means "beautiful," we HAD to name her that. I can't imagine her name being anything else now!"
A woman with this name also shared on Behind The Name:
"My name's Keely, as a kid I hated it. I thought it was the worst name ever but over the years I've started to like it more, not many people are called Keely, that's what I like best because I don't have such a basic name... but people always spell it wrong (Keeley) Or pronounce it wrong- they call me Kelly or Kylie."
Either way, there's no denying that this is a beautiful girls' name.
11 Krishna
Hesitating to use this name even though you love it? Then let this comment from Behind The Name convince you: "My name is Krishna and I am a female with no ties to the Hindu Faith. When my mother named me Krishna she had no idea that the name was a Hindu Gods name. She altered the name my father wanted to give me to make it sound more English. Found out later that the name has significant meaning.
I am a young lady and have met many Indian people who all seem to be okay with the fact that my name is Krishna. One elderly lady even told my mother that it sounds beautiful as a girls name and that she believes I will be very blessed in my life."
10 Liv
For over a decade, Olivia has retained an ironclad hold as one of the top 5 most popular names – even the US at least. But this also puts many expectant parents who absolutely adore this name in a tremendously tough place. Should you still name your child a top 5 popular name even though you know that they may encounter numerous other little girls with the same name?
Or do you go with an alternative? Liv is a very beautiful compromise to the name Olivia. In fact, one Behind The Name user shared their love for the name, saying, "I love this! It's nice as a nickname for Olivia, Livia, Liviana, etc., but I prefer it on its own."
Another wrote: "I absolutely adore this name. I have been drawn to it for 20+ years! I see it as classy, beautiful, simple and sweet. I have given it to my daughter as her middle name and it's what she goes by."
9 Maeve
If you have ever watched Westworld, then you should instantly recognize the name Maeve. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the Western world at all. In fact, Baby Name Wizard states this name as being of Irish origin and meaning "she who intoxicates" when translated from the Gaelic.
Someone with this name also said of it: "My names Maeve! Growing up, I hated it, the kids in school had trouble spelling it and the substitute teachers and coaches totally butchered it. But it's easy to say and catches on quickly. I got compliments all my life but I didn't start liking the name until later on."
8 Maile
Love Miley but can't stand the Miley Cyrus association? Then opt for the beautifully exotic Maile. Pronounced the same way, Maile is said to be of Hawaiian origin, according to Nameberry.
As a bonus, it has significantly dropped in popularity since 2017. According to BabyCenter, it was at #5,894 then and is now at #10,422. But that's actually a good thing. Although it has dropped in popularity as a name in general, it's still a top name as far as exoticness goes.
7 Rae
Forget Rey from Star Wars for a moment and really focus on the name Rae instead. A name of Hebrew origin, it means "ewe", according to Nameberry. Before you get disgusted, an ewe is a female sheep. This isn't to say that your daughter will be meek or feeble if you give her this name either!
But Rae is a fabulous alternative to many of the other popular short baby names, especially since it looks amazing as a standalone name.
6 Shani
How marvelously-sounding is the name Shani? It also coincidentally means just that: marvelous! According to Nameberry, Shani is a name of Hebrew origin that means "scarlet, marvelous". It's also "also the name of a Hindu god and the Sanskrit word for the planet Saturn."
You certainly can't go wrong with associations like that! If you want to separate your daughter even further, you can also opt for the more unique spelled of "Sharni" as some parents actually do as well.
5 Shira
Pronounced SHEER-ah, Shira is a stunning exotic Hebrew name that has for meaning "my song", according to Nameberry. Depending on when you grew up, you might even remember the differently spelled animated series She-Ra, Princess of Power. Not too surprisingly, there's even a reboot coming to Netflix soon enough.
According to Baby Name Wizard, "In Japan the word Shira or Shiro means white. There are some cities and coastal beaches with the name."
It's definitely a pretty name and one that is on the rise in terms of popularity, currently sitting at #2,900, with a 1,479-point rise since 2017.
4 Soraya
A Behind The Name user shared: "I had a friend in college with this name she was from Puerto Rico. It's a very exotic name but very beautiful."
But according to Nameberry, Soraya is actually a name of Persian origin that means "jewel". It's also said to be an "exotic name made famous in the Western world by the one-time empress of Iran, who settled in Europe, primarily in France".
One thing is for certain: it's a unique baby girls' name that no one else will have on the playground.
3 Svana
Swedish for "swan", Svana is a beautifully-sounding exotic baby name. Very similar to "Ivana", "Anna" or possibly even "Savannah", Svana is only not beginning to trend. Back in 2016, it wasn't even on the charts yet, but as of 2017, has been in the 14,907th spot.
Not too much information can be found on this name, but it's still one that stands out for its uniqueness. You certainly would be hard-pressed to find many other little girls with this name in the same school, let alone in the same city!
2 Tevy
When I read the name Tevy, my mind immediately made the connection to Torvi from the TV show Vikings. Although slightly similar in pronunciation, Tevy doesn't actually have any Viking association. Instead, Apt Parenting points out that it's of Cambodian origin meaning "celestial deity, much like an angel".
I think we can all agree that our kids are certainly our little angels (on most days anyway). For its part, Essential Baby merely states the meaning of this name as being "angel".
1 Yara
Don't discount Yara just yet. As Babble points out, Yara is actually a stunningly exotic name with a lot of history to back it up: "pronounced YAH-rah, it's the name of a Brazilian goddess with green hair and fair skin. The name also has Arabic origins, meaning "small butterfly."
Does it get more beautiful than that? Just four letters long, it's a name that certainly packs a punch. Fans of Game of Thrones may also remember this name from the character Yara Greyjoy.

We have all seen, through the recent media attention, the impact that incidents of sexual harassment can have on your workplace. The consequences are far reaching, affecting not only the individuals involved, but your employment brand and business overall.
Whilst it is easy to think that sexual harassment is isolated to one or, at most, a few "bad eggs", it could in fact be a symptom of a much bigger problem in your workplace.
What's the link with Employee Experience?
By looking at your leadership, people operations, the physical environment and the tools, particularly the data, you have available to you, you may be able to prevent, if not eliminate, behaviours like sexual harassment in the workplace.
The cornerstone of employee experience is leadership. Your leaders set the tone for the organisation. Good leadership makes for great employees, resulting in positive and appropriate workplace behaviours. In the absence of good leadership however, poor behaviour can creep in. And if leaders tolerate poor behaviour, the line between what is acceptable and what is not quickly becomes blurred.
Your leadership also has a direct influence on whether employees are willing to speak up about sexual harassment, regardless of whether they are on the receiving end or are a witness. If your leaders don't role model appropriate behaviours and don't challenge poor behaviour, an employee will be left wondering if they will be listened to if they do speak up. If they feel that their concerns won't be acted on, chances are they won't feel confident in coming forward and letting you know what is happening. Conversely, an employee who has a strong leader is more likely to have the courage to challenge inappropriate behaviour as soon as it happens, because they know their leader will have their back. They are also more likely to raise it quickly, so it can be dealt with effectively.
Your people operations provide the foundation for preventing sexual harassment. Strong values that are truly embedded in your organisation in terms of what your leaders say and do, is the first step. Do you have a code of conduct for your workplace? Do you have clear, easy to read, enabling policies that are aligned with your values so employees know what's okay in your workplace and how they can seek help if they have concerns? When it comes to sexual harassment, every employer should have a zero tolerance policy.
This should also be reinforced through your on-boarding and employee training programmes so both employees and managers know what sexual harassment is and what to do if they witness it. It is also important that your managers know where they can seek help if they have concerns about any of their employees and are not sure what to do.
Your physical environment is also critical for preventing sexual harassment. An environment that fosters a sense of community, that allows employees to collaborate and support each other is likely to be far more effective at preventing sexual harassment from occurring than one that allows employees to operate in isolated silos.
Finally your tools and technology will help you get ahead of any incidents of sexual harassment in the workplace. There is a wealth of data available to you that will assist you identify whether there may be an issue. Employee absenteeism, particularly sick leave; performance issues; complaints or concerns raised internally, but also from your clients or customers; exit survey data and employee engagement can give you valuable insights into what's happening across the organisation. And when you shift from looking at the data at an individual perspective to looking across teams and at the supervisory level, you should be able to identify pockets of the organisation that are outside the norm, which could be an indication of something going on.
In my experience, someone does not wake up one morning and decide to harass another person, usually they have gotten away with less offensive behaviour over a long period of time, and what is considered "normal" and "appropriate" behaviour shifts for them, based on their experiences. By focusing on creating a great employee experience, supported by strong leadership, operations, environment and tools, I believe behaviour like sexual harassment is less likely to occur.

Having seen him bowl during the just concluded five-match Test series against India, former Australian leg-spinning great Shane Warne has asked captain Joe Root and rest of the England team management to provide all the confidence and backing to wrist-spinner Adil Rashid leading upto and in the Test series in Sri Lanka.
England are due to travel to the island nation for a three-match tussle in November and this is where, with the lack of too many strong spin bowling options, the three lions are likely to be substantially dependant on Rashid.
Although, Rashid didn't look Test quality on his comeback to the red-ball game against India, Root and the national selectors are definitely hopeful of him coming to the fore this winter.
Speaking on Rashid, Warne told ESPNcricinfo, "It's very important that the captain backs you, Early on in the series, Joe Root needs to throw the ball to Rashid. Bowl him first change, or even open the bowling with him if the conditions suit in the second innings." and added, "Let him know he's the No.1 spinner and that he's got all the support of the captain. That is crucial."
Talking with experience, the greatest ever reiterated, "All I know is that, as a young legspinner, it was so important to have a captain who would back me no matter what, even when it doesn't go well. You just know when you've got the support of your captain, and when you are an afterthought."
Further assessing England's likely combination and other spin bowlers like Moeen Ali, who won his team the Southampton Test against India with a spell of 9/134, Warne gave his insight into what Joe Root and co will have to do on the spin-friendly surfaces in Sri Lanka and West Indies.
He said, "England have got so many all-rounders in their side, People say England don't need six bowlers, but I like having Moeen Ali in the top six. He's a batsman who plays as a second spinner, so you've really got five bowlers plus Moeen. And that gives you the flexibility to keep Rashid, because I still think he's the best option."
"I like having a legspinner in your side, because you don't pick a side just for the first innings, He might not have to bowl much in the first innings, but in the second innings he might pick up a couple of crucial wickets." Warne further added, "And when you've got class fast bowlers, the spinner can be brought on to break a partnership, take a wicket here and there, and then get the quicks back on. And that's okay, because you have to know your role in the team."
England's three-match Test series in Sri Lanka begins November 6.

Success! Foxes Saved From Railway Construction at London's Paddington Station
A brand-new railway will open in London, England on December 18, 2018. The Elizabeth line, designed by Crossrail, will eventually stretch more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow Airport in the west, running underground through central London tunnels and then overground to Abbey Wood in the east.
One of the largest construction sites is Paddington, in the center of London. In addition to the installation of a new underground station, the entire building is undergoing its most significant upgrade since it was first opened in 1853.
While many people are excited at the idea of a new transit link to significantly reduce travel time, a major challenge has emerged at the Paddington site: the arrival of foxes.
When foxes first appeared at the construction site, owned by Costain/Shanska, reports alleged that these gentle creatures were being trapped and shot.
Annette A. was outraged when she read of this cruelty, so she started a Care2 petition demanding that the company seek out humane ways to deal with the foxes — and stop the killing. Annette explained:
Workers there have allegedly been extremely upset by the situation where as well as being shocked by the indiscriminate killing, they saw a cub in a trap. Locals have also allegedly reported concerns.
Thousands of Care2 members agreed with Annette, and her Care2 petition quickly garnered over 34,000 signatures.
A Win for Wildlife
After so many wildlife advocates expressed their revulsion at these killings, Costain/Skanska agreed to hire "Fox-A-Gon," a non-lethal pest controller who will work with the company to relocate the foxes without causing them any physical harm.
Care2 added to the public pressure, thanks to Annette A.'s thoughtful petition – and everyone who signed on to support her effort.
Many members left comments — like this one, from Sue B.:
Please stop this cruelty…surely these lovely foxes can be encouraged to move on and taken to open country elsewhere. Why kill them? Please stop this slaughter of innocent animals.
And this note from Helen J.:
As an animal lover and also a train enthusiast, I wish to completely disassociate myself from this appalling practice.
Fox Conservation
This isn't the first time a Care2 petition has prevented the killing of foxes in the U.K. Last year, this petition ensured that Sainsbury's would use only humane deterrence methods at their Crayford, Kent, superstore. And in 2016, a Care2 petition persuaded the owners of Moseley Golf Club in Birmingham not to shoot the foxes on their property.
London has the second highest number of urban foxes in England, and the city has seen several cull attempts in the past.
According to a study conducted last year, the overall number of foxes in the UK is declining, but the urban fox population has jumped from around 33,000 during the 1990s to nearly 150,000 in 2017.
As more development occurs in rural areas, foxes are increasingly driven out of the countryside. Ian Tokelove, a spokesman for the London Wildlife Trust, explained:
They have a pretty hard time out in the countryside and in places like London they can find a lot of the food they require and the habitats they need. There's lot of worms in our gardens and they're particularly partial to London's rats and mice.
And as Fox-A-Gon states, "The fox is sometimes referred to as vermin, but it is not, and never has been categorized as such by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)."
The company assures the public that "By drawing on knowledge of the species and its behavior and by using non-harmful methods of deterrence, the nuisance being suffered can be prevented or, at the very least, significantly reduced, without killing foxes."
Surely, if we humans are driving these animals from their homes, we cannot then turn them into culprits and attack them.
Once again, we see that Care2 petitions can have an enormous impact. So if there's an issue of deep concern to you, why not start your own petition? You can use these guidelines to get started and soon the Care2 community will be signing up to support you.

Boston runner Mark Sands claimed a first-place finish in the gruelling Valentine's 30k at the weekend.
The Stamford-based slog, which is just under 19 miles long, is often used as preparation for runners gearing up for spring marathons.
On what turned out to be a very windy, cold and grey day, Sands not only battled the elements but also the hills in this very challenging race.
Sands, who runs for Skegness and District AC, clocked 1:53:13, which was enough to win the men's Vet45 category and come sixth overall.

The built-in memory in an Xbox 360 console unit can vary in size tremendously. There are some models available with hard drives while others do not have them at all. Having a small amount of memory in your Xbox 360 system can cause problems as you may not have enough room to save everything.
Some of the stuff that may be saved on your Xbox 360 memory unit includes your game profile, downloaded content, and music. If you have a large enough memory unit for your Xbox 360 then you could even save movies on it. The music can be used as a soundtrack for certain Xbox 360 games or listened to separately with the media player.
External Hard Drives for Xbox 360 Consoles
If you want to increase the amount of memory space dramatically in your Xbox 360 then you could purchase an external SATA hard drive. Internal Xbox 360 hard drives range in size from 20GB to 250GB but you may want to increase your memory space still. If you have an external hard drive for your Xbox 360 then you also have the ability to transfer files between your hard drive and a different Xbox 360. This is accomplished by using the data transfer cable. This can be extremely useful if your Xbox 360 stops working, you purchase a new one, and need to restore all the files that you had saved.
Buying an Xbox 360
If you have not already purchased an Xbox 360 but plan on it then there is one very important thing that you should know. That is, that you should purchase an Xbox 360 which includes a large hard drive already. No matter what you should avoid purchasing the Xbox 360 Arcade model as it does not have enough memory space. It may seem like a very good deal for the price but you will run into problems very quickly due to the insufficient amount of memory in the console.
It is also recommended that you stick with an Xbox 360 that has a large hard drive and not a small one. A smaller hard drive unit will not provide much memory space at all. For instance, if you purchased a console with a 20GB internal hard drive then 6GB of it would be used for system use which includes game caching and more. As you can see, the 20GB hard drive quickly falls to a 14GB hard drive which is not very large at all. Therefore, it would be strongly recommended that you at least invest in an Xbox 360 with a 60GB hard drive so you have a sufficient amount of memory for all your needs.
Buying a Xbox 360 Hard Drive
There are some hard drives which are marketed under Microsoft but these will be more expensive than the alternatives. You can find many brands of external hard drives which are packaged with the necessary firmware already loaded on the drive. The hard drive appears the same as a laptop's hard drive but it has a case which makes it more visually pleasing. You can find Xbox 360 hard drives with different case designs so there should be one that goes well with your console.
In the days where video game systems incorporate digital cameras, drum kits, laser weapons, and more, the basic memory card device is no longer a sufficient memory unit for these systems. Anyone that enjoys to play Xbox 360 video games on a regular basis will need a decent amount of memory on their Xbox 360. This may be accomplished already by buying a console with a large hard drive but some people make the mistake of investing in the arcade version or a model with a small hard drive.
Once you notice that the hard drive is not large enough to store everything that needs to be stored then you will have to look around for external drives. You can easily purchase an external hard drive to use as either a primary or secondary memory unit for your Xbox 360. This is by far the easiest and most convenient way for you to increase your Xbox 360 memory space tremendously.

Im excited to say that my hubby will be helping me out with many of my outfit posts from now on! When we were dating we used to do this alot, but over the last few years its dwindled down to just about never. It will take some getting used to, Im not as comfortable in front of the camera if there is an actual person behind the lens, ha ha, Im so used to just me and my self timer. So hopefully over time, Ill be more relaxed in front of the camera, and James will be more relaxed behind the camera. Well ease into it together. Its something Ive been wanting to do for a long long time, but weve just never quite made it happen. So, when we go on our daily post office runs, well find fun places around bandera to shoot our photos. I of course picked my absolute favorite place for the first ones, and Im sure youll be seeing this spot alot. I just utterly adore these walls.

Sri Lanka is a Birdwatcher's Paradise and bird watching sites are dotted all around the island. The country has more than 400 bird species comprising of endemic, resident and migrant birds. There are approximately 23 endemic and 200 migratory birds recorded within the island. The climate and environment of Sri Lanka is very conducive to the well-being of bird life. One of the best things to do in Sri Lanka is bird watching and when travelling around the island, if you are in need of a superbly conditioned vehicle, rental companies such as Malkey Rent a Car would be a good choice.
Kumana National Park (Yala East) 361 km from Colombo on the southeastern coast is the island's most popular bird sanctuary and famed for its large migratory waterfowl and wading birds. An important feature here is a 200ha water body known as the Kumana Villu which is powered by the Kumbukkan Oya. It is here that many birds nest in May and June. It has been recorded that more than 225 species of birds have been found here, including the rare species of Lesser adjutant, Black necked stork and Eurasian spoonbill. Other birds here include pelicans, spoon bills and painted storks. Bundala National Park is in the Hambantota district of southern Sri Lanka and is the island's Ramsar wetland site. It is said that each and every water bird in Sri Lanka visits Bundala. It is an internationally recognized wintering site for migrant birds especially the Greater Flamingo who migrate here in large numbers. Kalametiya in the south is the island's oldest bird sanctuary and the best time to visit is from November to March. Birds here include the Sri Lanka Jungle Fowl, the Sri Lanka Black Capped Purple Kingfisher, and the Indian Reef Heron.
Other great bird watching sites are Kithulgala, the Peak Wilderness, Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Udawattekele Sanctuary in Kandy, Horton Plains National Park, Knuckles World Heritage Area, Kandalama Sanctuary, Wilpattu, Chilaw Sand Pits, Anavilundawa Sanctuary, Mannar and Vankalai Sanctuary. Closer to Colombo, the Talangama Tank and Marshes and the Bellanwila –Attidiya Sanctuary are good bird watching areas.
