Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.
The British government, finding war was inevitable, sent out an army from England in all the splendour of European military pageantry. There were lancers with fluttering pennons, brass bands, and gun teams with pipe-clayed drag-ropes. The army marched into Zululand with bands playing, and one of its columns was surprised by a force of twenty thousand Zulus, who massacred eight hundred British soldiers and five hundred native auxiliaries. The tents were discovered still standing as if nothing had happened, and all round lay the disembowelled corpses of the defenders, the dead horses and oxen, and the rifled stores and ammunition boxes. That was Isandlwana

Ex-National Collection of Heads and Horns (1922)
Architect: Henry D. Whitfield

Bronx Zoo
Bronx Park, Bronx
The National Collection of Heads and Horns was conceived by the Zoo's first director, noted zoologist and conservationist William T. Hornaday (1854–1937), between the years 1906 and 1922.
Hornaday had been instrumental in the saving of the American bison in the late 19th century. He served as the Zoo's director from 1896 until 1926.
The collection was dedicated "in memory of the vanishing big game of the world." By the 1940s, there were more than 2,000 examples of heads, horns, skins and other mounted objects. The remarkable collection, originally conceived as an educational tool to make visitors aware of the need for wildlife conservation, was ironically removed in 1978 as inappropriate for the zoo. By then, less than 300 specimens remained. Today, the collection is the property of the Boone and Crocket Club and was until recently displayed at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. It has since been moved to Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium in Springfield, Mo.
Interestingly, the Boone and Crocket Club was founded by a group of big-game hunters, including Theodore Roosevelt, in 1887 with the purpose of preserving wildlife and habitats for future hunters. Many of the club's members helped found the New York Zoological Society in 1895. From its institution, the zoo's purpose has been the conservation of wildlife and habitats for scientific purposes.
The building continues its original purpose as the zoo's education and conservation center.

Taken at Lord's cricket ground before the T20 Blast game between Middlesex and Surrey, Thursday July 13th. Though it gave me a chuckle, the lady was right to reserve seats for her friends as the ground slowly filled to a near-capacity 27,205.
Get a partner and enter into the new cohabiting age.
Life is harsh, but we are not alone, there are millions of new graduates every year who are facing the same problem as we do. If the rental and bills are too high, why don't we get a living partner to share them? No matter you are a boy or a girl, as long as you are a nice person, let's "cohabitate "! Let's halve or trisect the living expenses.
