The name orangutan means "man of the forest" in the Malay language.
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in the Malaysian Sabah District of North Borneo was founded in 1964, to rehabilitate orphan orangutans. The site is 43 sq km of protected land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve. Today around 60 to 80 orangutans are living free in the reserve.
When Sabah became an independent state in Malaysia in 1963, a Game Branch was created in the Forest Department for the conservation of wild animals in the region.
Consequently, 43 sq km of protected land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve was turned into a rehabilitation site for orangutans, and a centre built to care for the apes. Today around 25 young orphaned orangutans are housed in the nurseries, in addition to those free in the reserve. Copyright notice © All rights reserved.

The Friars Peace Garden
The concept of creating a Peace Garden within the 42 acres that make up the grounds of The Friars was first discussed in 2006 by the Prior , the Estate Manager, and the Project Manager Jayne Hoose. The idea came about because Jayne Hoose had used the site as a place of escape whilst suffering from ME and felt that producing a Peace Garden was a way of giving something back and providing an additional space which would be open to all who sought the sanctuary she had found there.
The fundraising was started with a gift of £1000 from the local Funeral director Paul Rowland. The project has also been support by Gallaghers who undertook the preparation of the site for the garden's installation. The fundraising and implementation of the project has involved over 150 different individual volunteers including pupils and staff from St Anselm's school in Canterbury.
A Lottery Grant of £46484.84 was awarded to The Friars in 2010 via Community Spaces and Groundwork UK.
The garden, in the unused main entrance to The Friars Gatehouse, was designed to provide for a quiet space accessible to a wide range of visitors incorporating different seating styles and with flat access for those with mobility problems and families using children's buggies. Texture and scent have been incorporated to widen the garden's appeal and provides interest for those with sight impairment.
The Peace Garden is divided by upright sleepers into several small themed gardens allowing the visitor to view the garden as a whole, whilst enjoying the different smaller areas of planting. The first garden entered takes up the busy stressful mood of many visitors and aims to subtly move this energy to a place of warmth and vibrancy. This then enables the visitor to take onboard the energy reduction of the wind and wave garden. Making use of soothing curves and a mauve and pale yellow palette, this is designed to invoke a mood of gentle flowing calm. The central earth and water garden with a blue and white palette encourages tranquillity and stillness. The visitor, supported by the sounds of the water features, is encouraged to rest and 'to be'
Incorporated throughout the garden are peace tiles in over 200 different languages acting as a symbol of striving for the peaceful integration of all in society - locally, nationally and internationally. Parishioners, visitors and local businesses have sponsored these tiles.

FRAMES TO MY MUSIC VIDEO: COME BACK SPARKIN
WATCH IT HERE:
COME BACK SPARKIN is the title of this song and its music video.
SPARKIN should be spelled SPARKING, but I chose to spell it the way I pronounce it.
This is how I create language.
I grew up in urban environments and slang talk has always been my preferred way of expressing myself.
I always loved the level of creativity that could be applied to a language, and the power slang has in societies.
To COME BACK SPARKIN is to come back from a difficult situation while creating something absolutely beautiful out of it.
It is the act of overcoming an obstacle or obstacles no matter the level of difficulty.
We have the power as SuperHumans to take advantage of every situation.
In this song, I first remind myself, that I am the one who chooses to feel down or up, no one else:
No matter what i go through, it can't get me down
Go ahead, take a shot at me. All you are going to do is fuel the beast. In other words, help me excel to the next level:
I'm a Warrior at heart, kick me down !
See what happens, I COME BACK SPARKIN
Some individuals do a whole lot of talking, but their actions do not match their blah blah blah.
Or they spend most of their time talking, while never truly accomplishing and doing something about what they are talking about:
While you're barkin, I move in action !
Realising that I have no one to talk to and spending my time by myself because no one around me is real enough, or I do not relate to them:
Very lonely, no one to talk to
I gain consciousness of my HumanPower , and I choose to Keep My Head Up as Tupac told us.
Keep My Head Up, as I walk through
Dark tunnels, with no light dude
I then realize who I am: I'm the Light Myself.
This is the path of the Warrior. Check out Warrior of Light by Paolo Coehlo if you don't understand this.
I then invite those that feel the way I do to listen to me because I live it like you, and I am uplifting myself.
So join me, and we can lift ourselves together.
Listen to my music, if you need help
Coz I give you energy
The Power and the Will to overcome your enemy
When I say enemy some may think that I am talking about a person outside of themselves, but I am not:
Which is the ego, your own self
Get deeper into your self. Understand that money is a tool, and not the answer to life:
Money is a distraction
The answer to all is within you:
The True Wealth is the Inner
I am not one of those people who thinks money is evil and who does not want money.
I'm a physical being with 5 physical senses, so I enjoy things money allows me to do.
I want to be clear that this is not an anti-money campaign, it is about understanding its role and purpose in our lives.
I do not claim to have the answers, what I do is invite others to my journey.
I recorded this song 3 years ago, and so, being that I have evolved a lot since, I chose to focus this music video on these lyrics and not the remainder of the song.
They no longer apply to who I am today like they did when I wrote them.
The Art Direction of this music video is a continuation of my project THE REBIRTH in which I created an imaginary world where the unreal becomes real.
The quality of this Music Video is very poor, the camera was old and busted, so this is what it is.
I think it's cool to have the quality this fucked up because it's such a huge contrast to crisp HD imagery.
I love crisp HD quality as well :)
Lyrics:
No matter what i go through, it can't get me down
I'm a Warrior at heart, kick me down !
See what happens, I COME BACK SPARKIN
While you're barkin, I move in action !
I'm on a mission !
Very lonely, no one to talk to
Keep My Head Up, as I walk through
Dark tunnels, with no light dude
Actually, I'm The Light Myself
Listen to my music, if you need help
Coz I give you energy
The Power and the Will to overcome your enemy
Which is the ego, your own self
Money is a distraction
The True Wealth is the Inner

The founding father of Dutch-language rock and roll, Peter Koelewijn (1940), has his 85th birthday today!. His most famous song is 'Kom van dat dak af', which he recorded with the Rockets in 1960. It is still one of the best Dutch language songs. Koelewijn is also a successful producer and songwriter for other Dutch artists.
Peter Koelewijn was born on 29 December 1940 in in the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven. He was the son of a fishmonger. At the age of thirteen, he received his first guitar. In 1957, he started writing his first songs in English. He started his first band at secondary school with guitarists Karel Jansen and Roelof Egmond and singer Anneke Grönloh, who would become a pop legend in the Netherlands herself. Later on, Harry van Hoof, who later became a famous conductor, and drummer Peter van der Voort, joined the band. Around the same time, Grönloh left the band.
In 1959 the band, now called 'Peter and his Rockets', was joined by saxophone player Klaus Buchholz and bass guitarist Karel Jansen. In December, the band recorded 'Kom Van Dat Dak Af' for record company Bovema. The combination of American rock and roll and Dutch lyrics was revolutionary at the time. In May 1960, 'Kom Van Dat Dak Af' was a massive success in both the Netherlands and Belgium. Koelewijn, who moved on to grammar school, was told by his parents that he had to finish his schooling. Peter and His Rockets signed at Philips. Follow-up singles 'Laat Me Los' (Let Me Go) and 'Marijke' charted lower. By 1967 Koelewijn disbanded the Rockets to focus on writing and producing for other artists; he also hosted radio shows.

Aside from the three computer labs, there is also a language lab in the W.K. Kellogg Library, where non-Spanish speakers can go to learn Spanish with Rosetta Stone. Students who want to learn another language other than Spanish may find the lab useful as well.
In this captura you can view the Check option checked and the supplier language indicator, "ESP" for Spanish language in this case.
