Your backpack is probably already stuffed to the brim, but if you have a few square inches to spare, consider packing a South America travel book that is time-tested and beloved by generations of travelers before you. Whether you're hiking Patagonia, heading out on a railway tour of South America, or just wanting to brush up on your knowledge of Inca history and culture, here are the top 10 South America travel books that we recommend.
Peru Travel Books
Exploring Cusco by Peter Frost Hard to get your hands on, this out-of-print classic tells the story of the ruins around Cusco, considered the navel of the world by the ancient Incas. Essential if you plan on spending plenty of time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley exploring its myriad ruins, museums, and other treasures. The White Rock: An Exploration of the Inca Heartland by Hugh Thomson A delicious tale of the wild, unexplored regions of Peru's Andes by a British filmmaker. Another excellent read if you want to brush up on Inca history and retrace Thomson's steps through the Andes in search of Inca ruins. The Heights of Machu Picchu by Pablo Neruda Although Neruda is a Chilean poet, he ventured to Machu Picchu and wrote a memorable book of poetry about the marvelous Inca city in the sky. Pack this light book of poems while you explore Machu Picchu, and enjoy Neruda's gift for earthy, ancient language.
Argentina Travel
Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges The 20th-century Argentinian literary giant wrote Ficciones in 1944 as an anthology of Latin American literature, and its one of the seminal works of the century. You'll find plenty of magical realism, essays, and more in this classic anthology. Santa Evita by Tomás Eloy Martínez Instead of watching Madonna's take on the iconic Evita Peron of Argentina, read Martinez's strange and comic account of Evita's embalmed corpse as Peronistas and others vied to get ahold of it during the political turmoil of the period. A great way to understand the enormous influence of the Perons on Argentina's 20th-century history. In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin The explorer and travel writer Chatwin covered destinations as far-flung as Benin in West Africa to the Outback of Australia, and in the 1970s, he made his way down to Argentina and Chile's rugged, glacier-speckled Patagonia country. His years covering the glaciers, small Welsh farmer towns, and wild Tierra del Fuego led to the publication of In Patagonia, an important piece of travel writing that gets at the untamed natural beauty of South America's nether parts.
Bolivia Travel
Death in the Andes: The Last Days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by Daniel Buck If there's no better place to hide, its the heart of Bolivia's Andes, where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid snuck off once they realized their bank robbing days were numbered. This account tells of their last stand in the high-altitude towns of Bolivia — a country that is still remote and difficult to navigate for foreigners.
Chile Travel
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende Perhaps one of the most iconic magical realism works of fiction, Allende's The House of the Spirits tells the story of a family dynasty during Chile's tumultuous political times in the mid-1900s.
Brazil Travel
Through the Brazilian Wilderness by Theodore Roosevelt After his presidency, Roosevelt spent part of his retirement exploring the River of Doubt, which runs through the Pantanal in Brazil and Paraguay. The adventuresome president and his companions documented several thousand species of birds and animals, pioneering a history of environmental research in the Amazon and the Brazilian wilderness.
South America Railway Tours
The Old Patagonian Express: By Train Through the Americas by Paul Theroux Journalist Theroux makes his way along the railways of South America during the 1970s, from Massachusetts down to Patagonia, where the railway gives out to thorn bushes and briers. He called his work, "the ultimate book about getting there," emphasizing the powers of observation rather than participation in encountering a new place.

Since I live in England I've noticed a curious fact: when you tell that you are an Englishman in Spain, nobody asks you if you live in Madrid (it would be more logical if you consider that it is the largest city), but if you're from Barcelona, Malaga Mallorca. Malaga I have already spoken a previous post and I've never been to Mallorca, even so by the time I hear about her and how much I like, Barcelona deserves its own entry in The Immense Journey.
Surely you've already visited the old city, and although it is not so, sure you already know all the places you should go: Plaza Catalunya, Sagrada Familia, Barceloneta, Las Ramblas… so this post is a little more "tailor-made", so you discover other places in Barcelona that enjoy if you're a boy, o si eres chica.
If you're a kid you do not miss…
CAMP NOU. A guided tour of the football stadium with more capacity in Europe (and sixth in the world) sure it's something you want to miss. By 23 euros can go all the stadium, from the field to the locker room, you through the museum and enjoy a media space where a 3D documentary. Do not forget to make pictures in the press room or in the cabs of commentators.
Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Following the sports industry, will surely like to visit the Olympic Stadium Montjuic (that contrary to what I thought, not named), mythical scenario of Olympics 92.
NORMA COMICS. Barcelona has the honor of having one of the most important specialized libraries in comics in Europe. In Norma Comics we Americans and Europeans comics, Tank, children's comics, illustrated novels, books and much, mucho merchandising. Sure you love.
The Black Sheep. One of the most famous bars in Barcelona for young people is The Black Sheep. There are various premises throughout the city, all large enough. Ideal if you want to take a pitcher of beer while listening to indie music and talking with friends.
And if you're a girl you'll like…
PARC GÜELL. Yes, I know I included in all guide books, but it is an absolutely magical place, and surely all girls will like. Colors, mosaics, musicians, even su odor trasportarán you to a world of fantasy.
AFTERNOON SHOPPING. Chanel, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton… most luxurious all firms are located along the most emblematic street of Barcelona, Paseo de Gracia (worth going if only to see the windows). For something more affordable alternative you can go to the neighborhood of El Born or El Raval, or visit the malls in La Roca Village and Las Arenas.
FOREST FAIRY. Just ahead of the Wax Museum which is probably the most original of all coffee Barcelona, the Forest Fairy coffee. There you will discover a world of fantasy as a fairy forest with its, waterfalls, toys… making sure you surprise. Do not forget to bring your camera. *Gracias Marc por el descubrimiento 🙂
CHARMING HOTELS AND APARTMENTS. The hotels in Barcelona is amazing: varied and at very affordable prices. Instead of staying in a typical hotel chain, surely you prefer to look for something with a more personal touch and alternative. On sites like Oh Barcelona You can find apartments and hotels with a unique touch that is sure to make your visit to Barcelona has an extra charm (because you're worth it)
I hope to travel to Barcelona nuevamente within poco and go up this list of favorites. While, I hope your suggestions.
2 Responses to "Barcelona Boys, Barcelona Girls"
I must be weird because despite being a girl, Most of the things you mentioned do not call for us at all and all of the guys are places you've been a thousand times and I still love and growing. Debo ser una chica muy rara 😛
A kiss.

Heather Henson, the daughter of Jim Henson, is the executive producer. "Lessons Learned is a live action puppet short film. In the story, the boy is surprised by special treatment on this year's annual birthday visit with his grandfather. Instead of the regular tea and cake fare, grandfather presents an intriguing gift to the lad. When curiosity gets the best of him, the boy falls into an adventure of other-worldly experiences not intended for him. Where will this journey lead? What lessons will he learn? Lessons Learned is also apart of Heather Hensons Handmade Puppet Dreams series.Heather Henson's Handmade Puppet Dreams showcases puppetry in the medium of film by today's groundbreaking filmmakers and storytellers in this touring film festival series."

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing
Old school punk rock. Like, REALLY old school.
Genuine 100% actual Londoners, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing come from a past which probably never happened via a present they didn't want. Less steampunk and more "SteamPUNK", the British four piece mix Anarchy and Anachrony in equal measure. Expect a robot Sid Vicious covering Slayer in an 1877 East End Music Hall: a murky mix of Doctor Who, Doctor Watson and Doctored history. Not for the faint hearted or those of a delicate disposition
Tie your corset and dust your cylinder for their musical rendezvous. Typewriters click and rotors flutter to swing and folk – from romantic ballads to danceable reggae. A trolley with a gramophone carries historical as well as rare electronic instruments everywhere. With their exceptional style the retro-futuristically dressed musicians navigate into bizarre dream worlds. Their stories tell of adventures with their dirigible through space, time and aether. For more information check out their website.

My wife and I recently watched all six seasons of Downton Abbey. For some reason, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed it so much. Perhaps, this is because there is an element of soap opera and "wealth porn" to the show. However, what I think I actually enjoyed and valued was the history, social commentary, characters, and dialogue.
I had not appreciated before how the first world world war brought about great social change in England, particularly in the decline of the aristocracy. I was aware that the second world war also brought about a lot of change, but not the first.
The series begins about one hundred years ago, but seems a world away from today. I was particularly struck by the attitudes and prejudices about social class, unwed mothers, birth control, homosexuality, women's roles, royalty, dress, war, rape victims, the death penalty, Catholics, .....
On the one hand ninety years is a long time, but on the other hand that is the era that my parents were born in. Now (unfortunately, belatedly) I have a better appreciation of some of their values, habits, and aspirations that seemed strange or debatable to me growing up.
I felt that some of the characters were very "real" and human, reflecting a desire to often do good, yet struggling to do so and sometimes making a mess of things, as we do.
I don't envy the wealth, opulent lifestyle, and leisure of the Family. But, I do envy some of the characters witty lines, ability to guide conversations, frequent desire to be gracious, and to part on good terms with others, even those who have hurt them.
On the lighter side here are some classic lines from Cousin Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, who I came to appreciate more as a peace maker, as the series went on.

Sermon on Genesis 1 (take 2)
My sermon last week was too long and there was no time for questions. Tomorrow, I get to give the talk again at a different congregation, Unichurch, which is mostly students and recent graduates. I have cut out material (and commentary) in this version, reducing the length by almost half.
My recommendations on background books and videos are the same as before.

Honest Speech. Honest Work.
today's reading.
Proverbs 24:23-34 These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging is not good...
the blog.
Honesty was the underlying theme that stood out to me in Proverbs 24:23-34, and right away we see instruction concerning our speech. "An honest answer kisses the lips" (vs. 26) and "do not deceive with your lips" (vs. 28). But this passage also addresses the need for us to be diligent (honest) in doing our own work. "Prepare your work outside" (vs. 27) and "field of the sluggard" (vs. 30-34).
So what do you do to keep yourself on the right path when it comes to speaking with truth and honesty? What about being diligent in the area of work? Tami W.
P.S. As of today, I am in Israel as part of the Spring Back to the Bible Holy Land Tour with Dr. Kroll. So we'll be spending some time looking at scriptures that take place at certain places in Israel or that talk specifically about different places in Israel. I'll be blogging on the road and will do my best to post a few photos of some of these places.

Guest blogger Cathy Stubington is the Infusion Teaching Artist at MV Beattie Elementary in Enderby, BC, one of the six schools in the current Infusion Cohort program. Cathy shares one of the arts integration projects she recently worked on with students.
We learned about insects in Grade 3/4 at MV Beattie Elementary. Each student chose a photo of a bug, explored its details, examined its contours and created a preliminary sketch.
Learning about its habitat, food and relationship to us humans was fascinating. I created little books called My Bug to help them gather the facts. Through drawing, booklets explored:
After moving to a 3D exploration with plasticine, students blew their bugs up to giant size by using a simple process that can be used to make anything (without the mess of papier-mâché). We compiled crumpled newspaper, plastic bags, masking tape and strips of box card: insects that were normally 2 inches were suddenly as long as your arm! This photo is of a bug in process.
We coloured them by gluing on colored tissue paper. This is a fast way of "painting", also with less mess! I use this technique often in my community art practice. Mix water and white glue in a yogurt container, then, using a paint brush, apply a thin layer on your bug. Place the tissue paper on top. Voilà! Coloured thorax. You can layer the paper to create multiple colours. You may add a thin second layer of watery glue on top of the tissue paper.
I recently shared this technique in my travels to Smithers, BC with Lake Kathlyn Elementary School. The students and teachers were thrilled to create huge bugs, alevin, fry and giant salmon.
The MV Beattie students took their bug discoveries further, to share with the school. They each made a lino block of their bug, to print onto colourful cushion covers, that are now used for comfy reading, by all the students in the school!

EnviroNews is an independently owned and operated American news-reporting agency powered by 100% original video content. In trailblazing fashion while upholding the highest quality standards, EnviroNews is considered to be the first (and presently only) 4K news company in the world, with all content being captured and ultimately output in stunning 4K and UHD resolutions.
Founded in 2008 by Editor-in-Chief Emerson Urry, EnviroNews USA is quickly becoming one of the most respected investigative video units on the planet, simultaneously featuring some of the hardest-hitting investigative journalism in the world today. EnviroNews is fast becoming America's premier source of high-end news, information, and education on environmental, energy, health, nature, and wildlife issues, and maintains the aggressive goal of expanding this model to all corners of the globe within the next few years.
Maintaining old-school investigative reporting methods, EnviroNews holds its reporters to a stringent code of journalistic ethics and fact checking. Many of EnviroNews' reporters and staff are card-carrying members of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ), and other accredited organizations devoted to protecting the integrity of journalism and the rights of investigative reporters everywhere. EnviroNews' reporters and journalistic techniques set it apart from the Twitter-driven, sensational, and frenzied environment prevalent in today's fast-moving news world.
Many of today's prominent online "news" outlets have taken the cheap and easy road to business success in the media industry, hiring article writers for pennies on the dollar to recycle, re-can, and repackage breaking stories. Many outlets water down the news market and dilute discernibly original content, leaving readers and viewers with similar versions of the same stories from multiple outlets. The goal at EnviroNews is journalistic success: Every story produced by EnviroNews USA, our affiliates, and our local bureaus contains 100% original video and/or article content, with the very occasional and fleeting application of fair-use media (embodying less than 1% of overall content on the EnviroNews site). No EnviroNews stories resemble the commonly found recycled-article material in the so-called online news market. With the exception of press conference, news-beat, and breaking news situations of great importance, stories from EnviroNews are most often truly "exclusive" and "breaking" in nature.
In-depth written exposés frequently accompany EnviroNews films, expanding on and extending their scope. The unique news platform at www.EnviroNews.com seamlessly integrates with dozens of social-sharing platforms and blogospheres to offer a user-friendly atmosphere for subscribers or registered users to blog and comment, as well as to provide educational and sharing opportunities.
Neither EnviroNews USA nor its corresponding local bureaus engage in ambush or "backdoor" interview tactics, and there is no plan to change that. Interviews are enlisted via our contributors — who represent a multitude of varying viewpoints and affiliations — through a direct, front-door approach. EnviroNews' interview subjects include a vast array of people: environmental professionals, movie stars, rock stars, celebrity (and uncelebrated) activists, governors, mayors, senators, green CEOs, major auto-company executives, refinery and oil company CEOs and presidents, doctors, and whistleblowers — and that's just for starters.
Recent in-depth interviews with activists Erin Brockovich and Neil Young have demonstrated strong public faces in the environmental sector, and have helped to drive the EnviroNews brand further wider. In stark contrast, anonymous whistleblowers — with their faces obscured and voices altered — trust EnviroNews to protect their identities, where they have a safe platform to impart to viewers truths only they can reveal.
What also sets EnviroNews apart from other web-based, grassroots news organizations is our national/local affiliate/bureau model that seeks to establish news bureaus with boots-on-the-ground reporters and producers in all 50 states and the nation's capital, as well as abroad. EnviroNews Utah was our first locally established news bureau, and subsequent "virtual" bureaus have been founded and are in various stages of development in California, Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, Idaho, Washington, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Arizona, with several others coming soon. These local news bureaus currently feed into and support the EnviroNews DC News Bureau and the EnviroNews USA live and interactive newsfeed.
EnviroNews is a place where you, your neighbor, or your devoted community journalist can become involved in the debate, as well as contribute information and insight to the ensuing dialog. As part of its nationwide expansion goal, EnviroNews has worked with a multitude of journalists and contributors, and carries the hope to creating thousands of jobs in the future in the time-tested, yet largely forgotten art form of investigative reporting.
Numerous news organizations have syndicated and/or linked to EnviroNews' content, and countless other educational websites have utilized EnviroNews media to help inform people in over 150 countries around the world. These include MSNBC, The Huffington Post, Truthout, and EcoWatch, as well as local outlets Fox13 in Salt Lake City, Utah's KSL, Ogden's Standard-Examiner, Deseret News, the Salt Lake Tribune and more. (You can see a list of all of these news organizations with links here.)
Thank you for watching!

Today has been a good day 🙂
It felt like a good day from the minute I woke up, and it really hasn't disappointed!
I had a little lie-in, then got up for church and for the first time in about two weeks I didn't have mad panics trying to work out what to wear [I'm not usually that girl but recently none of my clothes have felt right and it takes a proper old drama and tizzy to find any outfit that I'm happy with] and just wore jeans and a top that I felt comfy in. I even felt like my hair looked good – it's been difficult these past weeks because I'm trying to grow it longer for this but it's at that awkward place where it doesn't want to do anything and I end up shoving it in a ponytail or bun – Not so today, I left it down and felt good about it!
I read my Bible whilst eating my breakfast, and I'm at that bit in Numbers where the donkey talks so that's always a treat! Makes me giggle to imagine it.
After breakfast it was off to church, where I chatted to some lovely folks whilst drinking tea out of my favourite green mug (I have a little contest with a guy from church to see who gets the green mug each week – this week he had left it for me! How sweet) It really is the best mug.
I was serving in creche for the 9am service, and it was the most chilled out time we've ever had – 9 little ones between 3 helpers, and the cutest little kiddos. Admittedly there was a LOT of snotty-nose wiping and at one point, one of the other ladies' had to physically hold my child's head so I could wipe the gunk off his face…but other than that, we played and we sang and we cuddled and it was just joyous!
Because of serving in the first service, and because I wasn't at church last week, I decided to stay for the 11 am service to hear the preach. And yay, for getting to worship at both services. It was a great service, a guy called Geoff preached about how we can evangelise to people by just telling them our own testimonies. Very encouraging and I love his preaching style.
After church I meandered around the supermarket (forgetting one of the only things I actually needed, but coming home with a melon…just because) and went to a discount store to buy fairy lights for Thursday's shopping evening…and then I came home and watched some of the OC whilst I had lunch.
Anyone else remember how good the first season of the OC was? I simply cannot believe that it was on about a decade ago! It makes me feel so grown-up [old] when I think that I was in my early teens when I watched it. But it was oh-so-good, and just hearing the theme tune makes you want to live in Californiaaaaaaaaa
So yeah, lunch and the OC – falling in love with Seth again, and wishing that silly Anna away because oh-my-gosh-he-is-just-meant-for-Summer-even-though-she-doesn't-like-him-right-now-she-will-soon. Yay for the teenage romance drama!
And then, in the middle of the Ryan-Marissa angst, I had a sudden burst of Need-to-craft-itis and then proceeded to absolutely cover my living room with floor, pins, tape measures, ribbons, cardboard templates and all other kinds of haberdashery paraphenalia [with my Christmas songs in the background, of course] for about 5 hours and I made some very lovely stockings and tree decorations.
In the midst of my sewing I realised it was dinner-time so I put food in the oven…but then got so absorbed in the sewing that I completely forgot about my dinner and it was only when I looked up and the flat was basically a cloud that I realised it had been in there about an hour too long.
Whoops. Mishap of the day. It was all fine though, I opened all the windows and threw away the burned food and started over – making sure I kept an eye on it. Dinner Mark 2 was actually quite tasty!
Once I was done with the sewing and the flat looked as if a bomb made of fabric & ribbon had exploded…I had a tidy up! And watched some TV (Strictly results…I'm sad Victoria went, but she just isn't as good as the rest of the celebs and it was her turn. I hope Louis goes next week)
And then, need-to-craft-itis hit me again. So I've spent the last two hours in my kitchen messing around with melted chocolate. Not gonna tell you what for (in case it doesn't work out) but right now it all looks so good. And all this to a lovely soundtrack from Colbie Callait, Lady Antebellum, Agnes Obel and Madeline Peroux – courtesy of Spotify.
I'm just hoping all my crafty stuff sells on Thursday because otherwise I will have a bunch of stuff that I have no idea what to do with! But…that's a worry for another day!

Author: Dennis Mahoney
Genre: Fantasy/Fiction
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Bell Weather is a captivating tale about Molly Bell – err, Smith I should say – who comes to find herself in the outpost town of Root on the continent of Floria. Alone and full of mystery, Molly is an enchanting character that fills the pages with her eagerness and curiosity.
Mahoney has created a unique piece of fiction, seamlessly combining the essence of the colonial times with the spirit of a fantasy novel. This strange but favorable mix brings to life a vivid adventure with Molly as the centerpiece, linking all the strands together.
Mahoney's writing is fantastic for this novel. His words are woven beautifully and just seem to roll off the pages, creating wonderful images of this foreign land. His text is so fluid and colorful that I had trouble putting this one down.
If you are in the mood to be pulled along on a winding narrative of mystery and adventure in a mystical yet realistic land, this one is for you.

Sometimes even literally, see this:
But he also opens up windows for us to "really read" rock stars.
I was thrilled NT mentioned (page 25) Bruce Cockburn (and Dylan) in his new book on the Psalms.
Of course those two are only one degree of separation from U2.
I don't know if Wright has wrestled with U2 (Vice versa is a good bet).
But this post is really called "N.T. Wright opens up U2."
At least three times when reading "The Case for the Psalms," I said "Hey, that's a U2 interttext!"
And I'm not even talking the obvious examples like "40" and "Wake Up Dead Man,"
Here are the three (o far)
The Psalms thus transform what I have called our 'worldview.' I use this term in a very specifi8c way...A 'worldview' in this sense is like a pair of spectacles, it is what you look through, not what you look at..Worldviews, in this sense, are a swirling combination of stories, symbols, habitual praxis, and assumed answers to key questions (Who are we? What's the solution? What time is it?) -page 8-9, emphasis mine
That last question is of course familiar to anyione conversant with U2's 36O Tour.
It was full of questions. The "questions" intro to "Blinding Lights " and later to "Zooropa" was brilliant. But the whole "What time is it in the world?" line, which was used in various spots, is in ones sense the leitmotif..even worldviewmotif..of the tour.
Here;s one example from the intro to "Magnificent," note also the question is often coupled with "And where are we going?":
Psalms center us, and call us back to worldview that is not from this world. Asking questions about navigating time and timing lead to answers being found in the questions. It's a timeline and time machine on the horizon.
In the book, Wright baptizes us into the worldview (and I might coin the phrase "timeview") of the Psalms (and thus also of Jesus and Paul, who quoted about almost many Psalms as U2 do). From there, he says, we get oriented to what time it is...in the world, and in us. "We are given those psalms, I believe, so that we can pray them ourselves out of our own impatience. God in his wisdom knows that we shal want and need to express the pain of being caught in the crack of time." (p. 74)
"How long?" indeed.
Related : U2: "thank You for the unanswered question"
2)Wright, in a parenthetical (literally! Some of his most profound observations can be found in parentheses and footnotes) discussion of Psalm 137's context of exile:
That insightful obsvervation about pslamic subversion connected me to so many places in U2's canon. In a sense, their mission is not only to mention/pray/sing the unmentionable/unprayable/unsingable (Bono often jokes about his "Tourette's syndrome"). But singing/psalming from within that place ("right in the middle of a contradiction," Bono often says, takes me to "Gloria"
We shouldn't miss the extra point here. It may be impossible to "sing YHWH's song" in this foreign land, but this particular pslamist turns this impossibility into yet another of "YHWH's songs," thus making a psalm out of the fact that one can't sing psalms here." (p. 43)
"I try to sing this song..but only in You I'm complete"
I will never/can never/must never forget.listening to U2's "With a Shout" (so commonly known as "Jerusalem " that even The Edge seems to think that's the song's name),
a song about Jerusalem..
....in Jerusalem.
To the side of a hill
Where we were still
We were filled
With a Love
We're gonna be there again
We're gonna be there again
(See"with a shout" by the worship band formerly known as The Hype)
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6-7 ).
I cannot read or sing this psalm without multilayered memories of many great services in Oxford, Litchfield, Westminster, Durham and many other places.
But the psalm sounded quite different when I heard it in Jerusalem.
..I have sung the psalm as a pilgrim, heading up the hill from Jericho ina bus rather than doing the journey oin foot as Jesus dd, but still with that same sense of excitement as you crest that final hill and there at last is the city that another psalm calls 'the joy of all the earth. (p. 183)
I am always in Jerusalem; praying from Jerusalem.
Or at least righ around the crest of that final hill.
Suffice to say I have added this new Wright book to my stack of books on the Psalms that Bono has read...or should.

There's nothing a baby desires more than love and affection from their mother and father. This is true with human newborns and so many animals, who rely on their parents early in life.
Sirga is no different from any other baby who craves their parents' attention, only this incredible animal is a tiny lioness cub, a Princess of the Jungle, if you will, and her parent is not who you would ever expect…
Starving Baby
Sirga the lioness was found by rescuers just in the nick of time, in February 2012. The baby lion was discovered close to death from starvation on a farm in the jungle.
Three Cubs
Baby Sirga was one of three new cubs born to a pride of lions in Botswana. Yet when the other two newborns tragically died shortly after their births, something terrible happened to Sirga as well…
Lone Survivor
Since the other two lion cubs had passed, the adults of the pride decided that Sirga should not be a part of their group either. The poor cub was abandoned by his parents and left for dead.
Brink of Death
A conservationist named Valentin Gruener and his team discovered the poor baby at the farm in Botswana during a rescue mission and brought the lioness cub to their headquarters. Baby Sirga was on the brink of death due to malnutrition and effects of the harsh elements…
Modisa Wildlife Project
Valentin, who is the co‑founder of the Modisa Wildlife Project in Kalahari, worked with a veterinarian to help do whatever they could to save the poor creature who weighed just four pounds when they found her. Sirga was soon put on a drip IV to combat severe dehydration.
Special Diet
Veterinarians and Sirga's rescuers hoped that the drip, combined with a diet that would help fatten up the tiny cub. Valentin created a heavy recipe that the cub enjoyed, consisting of fresh eggs, cream, milk, vitamins, sunflower oil, and calcium…
Starting to Grow
Over time, the recipe worked and Sirga started to grow. "To this day we believe she is probably the most spoiled and well-fed lion in Botswana," Valentin Gruener said.
Big Girl
Nearly a year later after Valentin and his team found Sirga, she had put on about 170 pounds. The young lioness had been weaned off of her diet and onto raw meat, like she would in the wild…
Animal Instincts
Sirga was now fully grown at three years old and since she didn't have a lion pride of her own, Valentin and the other animal experts became like a surrogate family to her. The problem was that Sirga's animal instincts crave the kind of love and compassion one can only get from a parent…
Nature vs Nurture
For that, 27-year-old Valentin found himself acting as a parent to the once abandoned baby lion. Now a teenager in lion years, Sirga would have never have survived without his guidance and parental care…
Craving Attention
Just like a baby would do, Sirga would put her giant head in Valentin's lap and doze off to sleep or put his arms around his shoulders to show her affection. After all, every child craves some sort of physical interaction from their parents.
Adoptive Parent
And since Valentin had been rearing Sirga since she was a newborn, there was no one better to step in and fill that void than him. However, just like with any three-year-old, Valentin certainly has his hands full…
Fussy Lioness
These days, Valentin and his team are working hard with their fussy lioness by trying to teach her everything she has been robbed of away from the wild. Being raised by conservationists has been bittersweet for Sirga, as her team worries she won't be able to take care of herself.
In the Wild
That's why German-born Valentin and his partner, Mikkel Legarth, from Denmark, have committed to teaching Sirga everything she needs to know to be able to make it on her own in the wild. They care for the lioness but know they can't keep such a majestic creature away from her home forever…
To Stalk & Kill
The heroes would spend endless hours coaching the "wild beast" how to hunt, as these skills aren't always instinctive for lions. Learning how to stalk and kill their prey is usually taught by expert, older lions in the pride to younger ones, so Mikkel and Valentin had to study well to teach Sirga.
Kill or Be Killed
Teaching Sirga to hunt is everything in preparing her to survive in the wild. After all, if you don't kill, you won't eat, and in the safari, it's kill or be killed…
Lions in Captivity
'We didn't want Sirga to become like other lions in captivity, constantly fed by streams of tourists," said Mikkel. "She hunts her own food, taking antelopes, and she will let us be near her when she eats it, which is remarkable."
Too Domesticated?
Yet the experts have been very careful not to let Sirga become too domesticated over the years and hope this will give her a better chance at normalcy in the future. "We want to release her eventually as a wild lion, not as one who has met lots of people. That would be dangerous. She only interacts with me and Valentin," Mikkel added.
Famous Family?
Filmmaker Jurgen Jozefowicz eventually caught wind of Sirga's story and propositioned Valentin and Mikkel to invite him along on their journey. The naturalists' incredible bond with Sirga will be featured in a six-part series, titled "Lionheart", which will be released later in 2017. The journey will also show her eventual release and their difficult goodbye.
Unsurprisingly, the footage shows Sirga cuddling and hugging her human "parents" as they scratch her belly or rub her furry face. And just to be polite, Sirga respectfully keeps her claws sheathed and her jaw clamped during play sessions with her humans. If there is anything either one of them will miss when Sirga reaches the wild, it will be this.

No products in the cart.
|Do you sell generic pills or brand medicines?
|We sell Generic and branded pills.
|What does Generic mean?
|Generic drugs are produced and distributed without patent protection. A generic contains the same active ingredients as the brand pills and is identified by its chemical name rather than its brand name. Generics are considered bioequivalent to the brand name counterpart with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Therefore, generics are identical to brand pills in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use.
|Why do the shape and/or color of the generic pill differ from the branded one? And why does the name printed on the pill differ from the branded one?
|The contents of generic pills and brand name medicines are exactly the same. The only difference is the name. The name printed on the pill is the active ingredient used there. This is because the manufacturers of generic drugs cannot use brand names on their pharmaceuticals due to copyright restrictions.
|Why are generic drugs cheaper than the brand name ones?
|Most new drugs, when they are first introduced are patent-protected by the government for 17 years. Other companies cannot sell that drug during that time. This allows the company that developed the drug to sell it exclusively and make back the research money that was spent to develop it. When the patent runs out, drug companies can apply to the Food and Drug Administration to sell generic versions of the drug. And because they don't need to worry about investment costs, the competing companies can sell their products at a much lower price.
|What is the quality of generic drugs?
|Generic drugs must have identical active ingredients, the quantity and speed of absorption of its active ingredients into the bloodstream as their brand name counterparts. Therefore, the quality of generic drugs is the same as its brand name counterparts, even if they differ in shape or/and color.
|What are the manufacturing standards for generic drugs?
|The manufacturing standards for generic pharmaceutical companies are exactly the same as those set for brand name pharmaceutical companies. All pharmaceutical companies pass stringent and regular inspections by the relevant authorities.
|How do Soft drugs differ from Regular?
|Soft drugs dissolve under your tongue, and enter your blood stream quicker than tablets. Also because of that, you are allowed to take alcohol prior to the sexual intercourse. With regular tabs drinking alcohol is strongly not recommended and the drug acts slower.
|Are your products approved by FDA? (Food and Drug Administration)
|Our products are approved by Indian FDA, as that's where they are manufactured and shipped from.
|What is the package like?
|The pills come in one or more blister packs in an envelope. We value your privacy and therefore on the envelope it is indicated only your name and your shipping address.

Next time you take a selfie, maybe you should be a little more nitpicky about who else is in your photo. Seriously.
California "lice expert," Marcy McQuillan of Scotts Valley's Nitless Noggins, told a San Francisco based website Monday that the selfie phenomenon has contributed to an increase in the number of cases she's seen of lice in teens. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a selfie is a type of "photography that one has taken of oneself," typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media site.
The typical pose for a group selfie is to get as close as possible, usually touching heads. But all a head louse needs is a little contact.
"They don't jump. They don't fly. They just crawl," said Carrie Madej, owner of Nit Free Noggins, a lice treatment center based in Chicago. "So you need that contact there for a few seconds in order for that bug to cross over."
And a few seconds is all you need to take a selfie.
McQuillan said teens are sticking their heads together every day to take selfies.
"I just think the selfies are bringing [spreading lice] on a little more with the teenagers," Madej said.
Elizabeth Haloulos, a school nurse at Taft High School on Chicago's Northwest Side, said she does not know of any "out of the ordinary" outbreaks of lice in Chicago, but she said a lot of cases of lice go unreported.
"We don't need to know the exact student," Haloulos said. "But we need to know who to target with our letters."
This may be because there is a stigma that comes along with head lice.
"Everybody thinks they're dirty or they don't keep a clean home because they have head lice," Madej said. "So they're not real quick to tell their circle of friends that they need to stop and get checked."
Madej said that lice are not selective when choosing a host.
"It doesn't matter," Madej said. "We see it on very short hair, long hair, thin, thick, dirty, clean."

9 ways to retain your staff as your business grows
You've put in the hard graft, you've attracted great investors, the value of your business is looking healthy and you're expanding. Good news all round, then!
But did you know that as your organisation grows, you're going to experience challenges? One of them is holding on to your staff. It's vital to appreciate those people who've been there since the beginning. They are a huge asset to your business and are business allies who've been there through tough times.
When people know there's a change coming but aren't sure what's going on, you can't blame them for getting the jitters. Feelings of uncertainty could drive them to seek out a new job with a more stable employer. However, if you invest time to keep them happy and informed, their loyalty to you is much more likely to endure the bumpy growth-phase.
1. Invest in staff retention
Sounds obvious, but if you've got a pot of business funding set aside for hiring new staff, why not put some of that money into developing a retention strategy for the people you already employ? There are loads of tactics you can use to engage employees – and engaged people stay longer and are generally happier, which boosts productivity.
2. Communicate the changes
Tell your people about your expansion plans well in advance of putting them into action. You can either give your managers the opportunity to talk directly to their own teams, or if you're a smaller firm you can make announcements in person, following up with regular updates in staff meetings, by email or in your company newsletter.
Prevent workplace gossip, which can impact performance by the way, by telling anyone who is worried about their job security that they're not at risk.
Also, share your long-term vision – it's a leadership skill that unites people, and builds bonds.
Whatever your communication methods, be clear about your plans, and be reassuring if there's a vibe of uncertainty.
3. Ask for input
Since you're going through growth, why not involve employees in shaping the future business strategy? Ask for their input on your plans; it's a brilliant way of gauging staff's interest as well as their concerns.
But be aware: if you're asking for people's opinions, be ready to action them or you risk damaging their trust.
4. Find perfect premises
The workplace environment can either demotivate or inspire its occupants – we're guessing you'd prefer the latter! If you're moving premises, think about what your employees need, and cater to that.
5. Logistics
Is it easy to get to or will your staff be put off by bad traffic? Is there plenty of free parking? Are there nearby places for people to go for lunch? All these seemingly basic things need to be considered.
6. Surroundings
If it's an urban location, is the view inspiring or will you team be staring at more brick walls? Is the building insulated for chilly winter months, and well ventilated for summer weather? Does the office get plenty of natural light, which is known to boost energy?
7. Décor
Can you create a sense of belonging and identity by matching the décor with your brand? Are you using colours that suit your business?
8. Work on wellbeing
According to Bupa, 85% of employees in the UK expect their bosses to support their health and well being. Not only that, but 63% say their health and well being is adversely effected by work. So, by helping people stay well, you show them that they're valued and you get to lower the staff churn rate.
You'll benefit too: there'll be less sick leave, a rise in productivity, and morale will get re-boot. All are crucial factors if you want staff in fine fettle to cope with increased business.
9. Offer opportunities
Nothing says 'we want you to help build our business' like investing in your staff's careers. Learning and development opportunities give people a reason to stay and prevent feelings of frustration; after all, a lack of career opportunities is a big factor causing people to quit. In a nutshell, as you grow, let your people grow too!
This advice is important for SMEs, regardless of your business' life-stage. Keeping your people engaged is always a wise investment. The reason is simple: everyone wins.

Southern Cross, paperback by Robin Ryde
£6.99 £10.99
£6.99 £10.99
Southern Cross paints a spectacularly terrifying picture of a dystopian world; one of deepening inequalities, brutal regimes, and unbridled corporate dominance. Robin Mann, a solitary and disaffected company executive, is drawn into a beguiling group of radicals committed to altering the trajectory of the world. But their extraordinary talents and uncompromising methods test Robin's commitment and pose profound moral questions about resistance and how far he is prepared to go.
Fast, fearless and wildly imaginative, Southern Cross is like Albert Camus' alienated outsider thrown into the heart of the Baader-Meinhof project. This is a boundary-less, expansive journey in Science Fiction like none other that you will read.
"Robin Ryde has written a great story of love, empathy and survival in an oppressive dystopia. Please read this book and help make this world a better place"
Jon Gnarr, former Mayor of Reykjavik and author of How I Became the Mayor of a Large City in Iceland and Changed the World

Saint Bridget was canonized by Pope Boniface IX in the year 1391 and confirmed by Pope Martin V in the Council of Constance in the year 1415.
The Revelations of Saint Bridget were accorded an exceptionally high degree of authenticity, authority and importance from an early date. Pope Gregory XI (1370-78) approved and confirmed them and judged them highly favorably, as did Boniface IX (1389-1404) in the papal Bull Ab origine mundi, par. 39 (7 Oct 1391). They were later examined at the Council of Constance (1414-18) and at the Council of Basel (1431-49), both judging them to be in conformity with the Catholic faith; The Revelations were also strongly defended by numerous highly regarded theologians, including Jean Gerson (1363-1429), Chancellor of the University of Paris and Cardinal Juan de Torquemada (1388-1468).
Dear Infant Jesus,
Please pray for our family. We are having a lot of problems. Our daughter has become very distant and is angry with her father and sibling. She is not talking to them and is very angry and blaming her father for everything that has gone wrong in her life. Please pray that she will know that her family loves her and bring her back to the family. I have faith and trust in you infant Jesus that you will unite our family once again and we will all love each other and talk to each other. Thanking you very much.

The biggest touring car revival yet at the Silverstone Classic.
The 2013 Silverstone Classic (26-28 July) will celebrate Britain's evergreen passion for bumper-to-bumper touring car racing with a record number of saloon cars grids from the sport's golden eras. For the first time in the evocative event's history, this summer's staging of the world's biggest classic motor racing festival will include three packed touring car grids alongside as part of an amazing line-up of 24 races for unrivalled numbers of historic F1, GT and sportscars.
With a capacity 58 car field, the Under 2-Litre Touring Car (U2TC) showdown for saloons from the early Sixties is an established crowd-pleaser at the Classic, and the Super Touring Trophy introduced in 2012 proved to be an instant success for fans of more modern tin-top racing in Eighties and Nineties. Both return in 2013 but now are joined by a new Trans-Atlantic Touring Car Trophy grid featuring many of the mighty V8 muscle cars that dominated saloon car racing in the second half of the Sixties.
Indeed it's almost exactly 50 years ago that Silverstone witnessed the arrival of the first 'Yank Tank'. It was on 11 May 1963 that saloon car legend Jack Sears debuted the 6.9-litre NASCAR sourced Ford Galaxie at Silverstone, promptly trounced the reigning Jaguars and totally transformed the sport for the following epoch.
It was unquestionably a defining moment and two Trans-Atlantic Touring Car Trophy races staged over the action-packed weekend will mark the golden anniversary of Sears' first win. Harking back to that halcyon era both will witness large numbers of the crowd-pleasing American machines taking on their more nimble European rivals from the same unforgettable period.
The two-driver U2TC race also honours another important milestone in saloon car racing history – 50 years of the esteemed Lotus Cortina. Last year's capacity 58-car grid included more than 25 of these racing deities and another huge turn out is guaranteed in July in a packed field that will also flaunt packs of battling Alfa Romeos, BMWs and Minis.
Turning the clocks forward, the Super Touring Trophy puts the spotlight on two equally memorable eras. The Group A era is well represented by flame-spitting Cosworth Sierras and their long-standing BMW M3 adversaries, while a growing number of super tourers epitomise what's widely hailed as the zenith of the MSA British Touring Car Championship during the Nineties. Adding to the history, several of the famous drivers from that period are rolling back the years, too. Two-time BTCC champion John Cleland and ebullient Patrick Watts have both found one of their old racers are planning to rejoin the fray.
"It's going to be the greatest saloon car racing revival ever seen," enthused Nick Wigley, Event Director. "With three different grids, this year's remarkable Silverstone Classic tin-top line-up will be the biggest and best yet. It stars just about every great touring car racer from those mighty US muscle cars and three-wheeling Lotus Cortinas right up to the turbocharged Sierra Cosworths and high-tech super tourers. What's more they are all still serving up the same close racing thrills and spills that made them so popular in the first place."
For those wanting to catch what's going to be the greatest saloon car revival yet staged, make sure you enter our competition to win yourself a pair of tickets courtesy of My Car Heaven. Alternatively tickets to the 2013 Silverstone Classic must be purchased in advance. Adult admittance is from just £35 (plus fees) and, following the event's widely acclaimed 'access all areas' policy, all tickets include free entrance to racing paddocks, trackside grandstands and all live music concerts. Considerable savings are on offer for festival-goers spending the full action-packed weekend at Silverstone and there are also special packages for car clubs.

Friday, December 30, 2011
Editor's note: This weekend we'll be dropping some best-of considerations from CP music scribes. Here's some commentary on notable live shows from listings editor and Family Circus enthusiast Margaret Welsh!
1. Earth, June 18, Braddock Carnegie Library Theater
Between the all-female Assembly of Light Choir (on tour with sludgy duo the Body), spooky loopstress O Paon, and the current lineup of Earth, of which Dylan Carlson is the only dude, this was a night of great lady performances. Earth is slow, either wonderfully or painfully so, depending on who you ask. I, for one, didn't much appreciate their slowness before seeing drummer Adrienne Davies in person, serving as the band's measured heartbeat and hypnotic conductor. Carlson, all in black, resembled both Johnny Cash and the devil, and his sparsely constructed western doom riffs seemed to bathe the room in both good and evil (or, more fittingly, Darkness and Light). I'd speculate that this is what church services are like in purgatory (not least of all because, all together, this show went on for roughly five hours) but I doubt parishioners in purgatory are able to achive such levels of blissed-outedness.
2.Mumford's, July 20, Howlers
After hearing this Iowa band's somewhat regrettable name (I'm guessing they had it before Mumford and Sons hit it big), and seeing several of their seven members assembling various horns, I'll never know what compelled me to stay for their set. Combining frantic ska, rap, Red Hot Chili Peppers-style funk-rock, and ex-Catholic angst, Mumford's should, by all logic, be terrible. And yet, somehow, they were riveting. From the first few bars of their first song, my face remained plastered with a huge, confused grin.
This was almost entirely because of front man Nate Logsdon, who is built like a young Scott Hamilton and dresses in sweatpants, for maximum mobility. When he wasn't playing trumpet and/or performed synchronized dance moves with the bass player, he let loose jam-packed lyrical tirades that make "Hard to Be a Saint in the City" look spare. The guy never stopped moving, and never seemed to stop for a breath, even after falling with the grace of a gymnast off of a rickety bar stool and into the minimal crowd. Amazingly, without having listened to them since, I still get a couple of their songs stuck in my head from time to time.
3. Devo, June 17, Stage AE
Many were perplexed by the large number of free tickets available for this show, and the cynical among us, who don't value anything we get for free, braced for an awkward nostalgia act. Devo, however, did not disappoint. Old hits were played with due fervor and energy, as were the few songs they played from 2010's Something For Everybody. There were costume changes, and political jokes and bouncy balls. Booji Boy made an appearance and everyone, it seemed — little kids, old punks, the super fans and the people who barely knew who Devo were — danced and laughed and had a great time.
4. Bill Callahan, July 8, Carnegie Museum of Art Sculpture Garden
The peaceful and secluded sculpture garden, the breezy summer weather, Mr. Callahan's light blue seersucker suit, the slowly setting sun, the enthusiastic fan who stood up, stretching his arms up along with the lyrics, "You won't get hurt if you just keep your hands up,": there really was a whole lot to like about this show. Callahan's set list included treats from the old Smog catalogue, as well as plenty from his latest record, Apocalypse, and he delivered each song with the gentlemanly elegance and class of a Grand Ol Opry star. Is it any wonder that all the indie-rock starlets fall in love with him?
5. Inquisition, December 15, Kopec's
Love letters to Kopec's, I could write a dozen of 'em. And Dagon, one half the thrashy black metal duo Inquisition — and possibly the most gracious and friendly man to ever wear corpse paint — seems to agree. He was effusively grateful for the chance to play the tiny, living room - esque venue, the sort of underground place, he said, that Inquisition played in their early days. Following crushing and highly entertaining sets by Abysme and Brock Samson, respectively, Dagon opened with an invitation, as metalheads crowded around him: "Even if you don't like black metal or anything to do with Satan, enjoy the music!"
Dagon founded the band in '88, recruiting the drummer, Incubus, in '96, and the two still perform like true believers. Black metal is not a genre known for its warmth, but Inquisition sounded amazingly rich — at times even teetering on the edge of a weirdly danceable bluesy groove — and Dagon's robotic Popeye vocals were sharp and creepy and hilarious and totally awesome.

So a couple of weeks ago it was snow week. Everything went crazy here. School was cancelled, sessions were missed, made up and misse for other reasons. It made for a hectic couple of weeks where everythig became entirely too hard to keep track of things normally, so I just enjoyed the snow!!
Last week saw some big things though, Ben knocked 100 burpee pull-ups touching his chest to the bar each time!! David thought of me with every movement of his body due to the workout last Monday (it was a special one!) Wilson struggled through even though she had a cold and George came in five days in a week.
This week started off with a bang. David knocked out an incredible amount of reps in a full body attack and George went heavy on legs pushing 6 plates each side of the sled (see pic).

The American Littoral Society is collaborating with local government and various other organizations in Ocean County to help protect the shoreline from erosion — with Christmas trees.
"What they are, basically, is trees set in a row offshore that kind of run perpendicular to shore that then catch that sediment, raise the elevation of the marsh and then the plants reestablish that's the concept," said Captain Alek Modjeski, habitat restoration program director for the American Littoral Society.
Staff and volunteers secure the trees with stakes and twine and place hundreds of recycled oyster shells, donated by Monmouth County restaurants, around the trees for added weight and a new habitat for animals.
The American Littoral Society received about 800 trees from New Jersey residents. They launched their Christmas tree campaign right after the holidays, asking folks to drop off their trees at a local church. The Point Pleasant Borough Department of Public Works also picked up the trees curbside and eventually they brought everything to the location.
The American Littoral Society will continue to monitor the project and they hope to add new Christmas trees each year.
