Over three decades after he walked around the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (Great Britain), and took pictures of random people he encountered, street photographer and paramedic, Chris Porsz has tracked down the same subjects and recreated the photos.
He explained:
‘I would often be drawn by certain expressions on people’s faces or a fleeting moment. It became quite addictive. I liked taking photos of people who stood out from the crowd, things which were a bit different, quirky, or fun.’
Yet, years later, in 2009, he found his old pictures, and sent some to his local paper, The Peterborough Evening Telegraph, in the hope to track the people he once took photos of down.
According to his website, “some were easy, some were hard, some were impossible to find. When he was successful, Chris arranged a reunion at the location of the original photograph and took another picture.”
Some of the subjects recognized themselves after he published their pictures in local and national papers, on Facebook, and on his website.
Now, his collection consists of 135 beautiful reunions and shows characters from all layers of society. He said that he felt privileged and satisfied “to do so many reunions and seeing the smiles on people’s faces as they met up with old friends again. “
The book of the ‘paramedic paparazzo,’, titled ‘Reunions’, also involves texts by writer Jo Riley, who told the stories of the people in the pictures.

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-02--Extremely Brave Man Saves 400-lb Black Bear From Drowning

There is a hero inside all of us , I believe .
Yet , not everyone is prepared to make a sacrifice and risk his own wellbeing to save an animal .
That is why people were fascinated by the heroic act of Adam Warwick , a biologist with the Wildlife Commission , who risked his own life to rescue a 400-lb bear from drowning !
It was reported that the bear followed his nose , left his home in Osceola National Forest , and went to a residential area in Alligator Point , Florida .
When Florida residents spotted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they were alarmed , so wildlife officials decided to sort things out .
They decided to shoot the bear with a tranquilizer dart , but things didn ’ t go according to the plan .
The 400-pound bear started to panic and got confused , so he ran into the ocean and started swimming into the Gulf !
Fortunately , Adam was quick to help !
He jumped into the water to save the bear , as by then , the animal couldn ’ t move his legs and couldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ swim , started to make the four-mile swim across the harbor .
And so , I looked at ( a colleague ) and I said , ‘ I ’ ve got to go out there and stop him.
’ So , I took off my shirt and shoes , jumped in the water , and swam in the direction to head him off and keep him from going into deeper water .
Once I did that , I got in front of him , tried to create some splashing and some commotion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back into shore .
But he wasn ’ t having any of that.
” “ The scariest part was probably when he decided — he started looking at me as if he wanted to climb up on me to keep from drowning and , at one point , he reared up on his hind legs , so I ’ m looking at a six-and-a-half-foot tall bear .
Instead of lunging forward , he fell straight back and was submerged for a couple of seconds and , that ’ s kinda when I moved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and swam him to the shore , which was 75 feet away .
The bear couldn ’ t keep his head above water as well , but Adam did his best not to let him go under .
He eventually brought the bear to the shore safely , and a backhoe operator helped to load him onto a truck and return him to the Osceola National Forest .
Fortunately , Adam was not injured and had only a few scratches .

It was reported that the bear followed his nose, left his home in Osceola National Forest, and went to a residential area in Alligator Point, Florida.
When Florida residents spotted a black bear sniffing through their garbage, they were alarmed, so wildlife officials decided to sort things out.
They decided to shoot the bear with a tranquilizer dart, but things didn’t go according to the plan.

He held onto the bear and swam him to the shore, which was 75 feet away. The bear couldn’t keep his head above water as well, but Adam did his best not to let him go under.
He eventually brought the bear to the shore safely, and a backhoe operator helped to load him onto a truck and return him to the Osceola National Forest.

Unbelievable!
What a courageous and kind-hearted man!

healthyfoodhouse--2020-07-02--12,000 Lions Are Being Farmed In Captivity In South Africa So They Can Be Shot Dead By Tourists

Lions have always been a symbol of courage and strength , but unfortunately , the King of the jungle is often mistreated and subjected to cruel and barbaric practices .
Lord Michael Ashcroft , a UK businessman and philanthropist , decided to expose lion farming , which has become a massive industry in South Africa , where over 12,000 of them , or four times the wild population , are farmed in captivity .
He published a book and an accompanying film , Unfair Game : An Exposé Of South Africa ’ s Captive-Bred Lion Industry , which provide an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reveals the sad truth behind the practice known as “ canned hunts ” .
Ashcroft claims that it has to be stopped as soon as possible , as it is “ conscious , intentional cruelty , sometimes carried out with or for pleasure ” .
“ It is no exaggeration to say that the abuse of lions in South Africa has become an industry .
Thousands are bred on farms every year ; they are torn away from their mothers when they are just days old , used as pawns in the tourist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ hunt ’ or simply slaughtered for their bones and other body parts , which are very valuable in Asia ’ s so-called medicine market .
In between , they are poorly fed , kept in cramped and unhygienic conditions , beaten if they do not perform for paying customers , and drugged .
This sinister system has sprouted up in plain sight in South Africa , inflicting misery on this most noble of beasts on an unimaginable scale.
” Namely , “ canned hunting ” is the most extreme form of trophy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in captivity , drugged , and then released in a small enclosure , so that tourists , who pay thousands of dollars , can pick an animal and shoot it .
Afterward , the body and bones of the dead lions are often exported for use in the Asian medicine market .
In countries like China , the lion remains are used to make pills and potions for unsubstantiated ‘ medicines ’ .
The lions are tortured from the time they are cubs , forced to play with tourists all day long , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 16-20 hours to grow and develop properly .
Since they are being raised by hand , lions are not shy and do not fear humans , so they become an easy target to shoot .
When they reach the age of 4-7 , which is their desired trophy age , they are offered elsewhere to hunters for shooting or simply killed for their bones .
Plus , anyone can hunt lions in South Africa , as Ana hunting license or proven hunting experience isn ’ t usually necessary .
In the film , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lioness being shot 9 times while up in a tree , a drugged lion attached by a pack of wolves , and a sedated one shot in the back of a truck .
In the book , he explains that he and his undercover team , which included former members of the UK ’ s special forces , commissioned two undercover operations within two years .
One was dubbed Operation Chastise , and the other , Operation Simba , when they managed to save a lion from being shot .
The team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to gather info and evidence to build the case .
Ashcroft explained that the industry had close ties with global organized crime , so to infiltrate the business , they had to recruit a South African Lion dealer as an undercover agent , under the codename Lister .
Lister was able to provide much of the video footage that showed the cruel treatment the lions were subjected to .
Even though the mission was successful , Ashcroft knows that much more needs to be done , as “ it was obvious that those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to operate with great ease in South Africa.
” Ashcroft says that often , lion remains are falsely passed off as tiger bones , as the latter can be worth up to twenty thousand dollars , while an adult lion skeleton can be sold for only four thousand dollars .
Yet , apart from being a threat to lions , this bone trade is potentially dangerous for humans as well .
As lions can carry zoonotic diseases .
He explained that experts believe that “ a major public health incident will occur in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the lion bone trade.
” In a press release for the new book , from which he is donating all royalties to wildlife charities in South Africa , Ashcroft said that “ lion farming shames South Africa ” , and “ it ’ s time to recognize that it is a cruel and barbaric industry which has no place in the 21st century.
” Furthermore , as these breeding centers rely on tourism as the main income source , they will either euthanize or leave the lions to starve to death , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coronavirus pandemic .
Michele Pickover , director of advocacy group the EMS Foundation , says that “ thousands of captive lions are going to be left to starve ” , which is “ a catastrophe that could have been avoided.
” An alliance of groups called the Lion Coalition wrote to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , asking them to advise all governments to shut down wildlife markets .
The letter said : “ Bovine tuberculosis has been documented among wild and captive-bred lions , posing a substantial risk of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lion bone trade , particularly those who work in breeding farms , slaughter and processing facilities in South Africa.
” The government has suspended the annual quotas for captive lion breeders in the international bone trade , while at the end of the year , the recommendations of a high-level panel will determine the long-term future of the industry .

Lord Michael Ashcroft, a UK businessman and philanthropist, decided to expose lion farming, which has become a massive industry in South Africa, where over 12,000 of them, or four times the wild population, are farmed in captivity.

He says:
“It is no exaggeration to say that the abuse of lions in South Africa has become an industry.

Yet, apart from being a threat to lions, this bone trade is potentially dangerous for humans as well. As lions can carry zoonotic diseases. He explained that experts believe that “a major public health incident will occur in South Africa and Asia as a result of the lion bone trade.”
In a press release for the new book, from which he is donating all royalties to wildlife charities in South Africa, Ashcroft said that “lion farming shames South Africa”, and “it’s time to recognize that it is a cruel and barbaric industry which has no place in the 21st century.”
Furthermore, as these breeding centers rely on tourism as the main income source, they will either euthanize or leave the lions to starve to death, due to the travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Michele Pickover, director of advocacy group the EMS Foundation, says that “ thousands of captive lions are going to be left to starve”, which is “ a catastrophe that could have been avoided.”
An alliance of groups called the Lion Coalition wrote to the World Health Organization (WHO), asking them to advise all governments to shut down wildlife markets. The letter said:
“Bovine tuberculosis has been documented among wild and captive-bred lions, posing a substantial risk of zoonosis to consumers and people involved in the lion bone trade, particularly those who work in breeding farms, slaughter and processing facilities in South Africa.”
The government has suspended the annual quotas for captive lion breeders in the international bone trade, while at the end of the year, the recommendations of a high-level panel will determine the long-term future of the industry.

Yulia Ageeva, who led a rescue mission said:

When rescued, Simba was transported to specialist vet Karen Dallakyan, from Chelyabinsk, who rescues hundreds of animals from abuse and cruelty, heals their injuries, and provides them with shelter, food, and love.
He was shocked by the condition of the cub and explained that Simba had suffered ‘an ocean of pain from humans’, adding:

If kids aren’t doing the dishes, it means someone else is doing that for them, and so they’re absolved of not only the work but of learning that work has to be done and that each one of us must contribute for the of the whole.”
Yet, it is important to pick age-appropriate chores, and have realistic expectations. If the assigned chore is too easy, they will get bored and uninterested, while in case it is too difficult, the kids might get frustrated and discouraged.
The following chart lists chores according to the age of your children, and here is a short description of it:
Ages 2-3 can put their clothes in the hamper, put away their toys, wipe up the spills, dust safe areas, help in making their bed, stock books on the shelves, mop small areas, and full the food dish of the pet.
If your child is 4-5-year old, you can ask him to sweep the floor, sort laundry, fold towels, set and clear the table, pack lunches, and help you unload the dishwasher.
Children aged 6 or 7 can help you do things like keeping an eye on their younger siblings, sweeping out the garage, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, preparing simple meals, and doing laundry.
A kid at the age of 8 and 9 is able to clear the table, make the beds, water the flowers, pull weeds in the garden, bring in the mail, and use a handheld vacuum.
Older kids, aged 10 and 11, can vacuum, mop floors, put away laundry, walk their pets, load the dishwasher, and take out the trash.
If your child is 12 or older, you can ask him to complete more complex chores, like washing the windows, painting the walls, changing light bulbs, doing a deep clean of the rooms, and undertaking simple home projects.
Remember that you need to be patient when you are teaching your child a new chore. Repeat the chore a few times in front of your child, and then have them complete it while you are there in case they have any questions.
Next, “allow the child to do the chore on their own.”
Psychologists claim that it would be best to start young. Toddlers are eager to help, and if you involve them at an early age, they will continue helping as they get older.
The University of New Hampshire’s Andrew Coppens adds:
“Early opportunities to collaborate with parents likely sets off a developmental trajectory that leads to children voluntarily helping and pitching in at home.”
Keep in mind that every child matures at a different pace, so adjust the chart to the skills and talents of your kid. Moreover, no child should do all the chores listed on a daily basis. The chart should serve as a guide only, as it reveals the chores many children in specific age ranges are capable of completing.
Let your kids perform the same chores for some time, but as they get better, introduce new chores at regular intervals.
Remind your kids that they are contributing to a common goal, and remember that getting them involved even when they complete a chore much slower than you, it will lead to countless benefits later on in life.

Apart from the shock and disbelief caused by consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic , new horrible news devastated the world .
In the past few months , over 350 elephants have died in Botswana .
The mass deaths of these animals made scientists growingly concerned , and they are unsure of the cause of this “ conservation disaster ” .
In May , researchers started worrying about the entire thing , after 169 elephants were found dead in the Okavango Delta .
By mid-June , the number doubled .
According to Dr. Niall McCann , the director of conservation at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass die-off is extremely strange : “ This is a mass die-off on a level that hasn ’ t been seen in a very , very long time .
Outside of drought , I don ’ t know of a die-off that has been this significant.

Locals have said that about 70 % of the elephants have died around waterholes , so some researchers believe that the water might be somehow poisoned or tainted .
However , water samples @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Botswana yet .
“ When we ’ ve got a mass die-off of elephants near human habitation at a time when wildlife disease is very much at the forefront of everyone ’ s minds , it seems extraordinary that the government has not sent the samples to a reputable lab.

In May, researchers started worrying about the entire thing, after 169 elephants were found dead in the Okavango Delta. By mid-June, the number doubled.
According to Dr. Niall McCann, the director of conservation at UK-based charity National Park Rescue, this mass die-off is extremely strange:
“This is a mass die-off on a level that hasn’t been seen in a very, very long time. Outside of drought, I don’t know of a die-off that has been this significant.”

McCann also explained that it was determined that many of the animals died off quickly, judging by how they had fallen straight down on their faces. Yet, a lot of them appeared to die more slowly, so “it’s very difficult to say what this toxin is.”
McCann said that elephants have been seen walking around in circles, which might mean that they have been afflicted by a neurological condition.
He added that even COVID-19 has been suggested as a possible cause, but researchers claim that this is highly unlikely. Some officials have reportedly suspected cyanide poisoning, which is usually used by poachers in Zimbabwe.
It was reported that fewer vultures were seen on carcasses, but none showed signs of abnormal behavior. Government officials added that there is no evidence that the mysterious deaths are caused by poaching.
Additionally, neighboring countries have not reported mass elephant deaths, so the case is somewhat localized.
Local reports found that elephants of all ages and both sexes have been dying, and several more seem weak and confused, so they expect more deaths in the future. Conservationists fear that the true number of deaths is even higher, as the carcasses are hard to spot.
The delta is the home of about 15,000 elephants or nearly 10% of the total population for the African country. Botswana has the largest elephant population in the world or around 130,000 elephants that live within its borders.
Last year, the government of Botswana lifted the ban on hunting wildlife, so international poachers can buy their hunting rights for an expensive price.
The newly elected government explains that this decision was made after elephants started to have an impact on people’s livelihoods as they increasingly came into contact with humans.
In the rest of the world, elephants are generally considered endangered, and in Africa, they are listed as vulnerable, but their overhunting and habitat loss contribute to their rapid decline.
