Britons Can't Do Without Their Red Phone Boxes

Many Britons are seeing red about British Telecom's decision to destroy the red telephone-box structures that dot the landscape all over the country.
The sentiment seems to be one of nostalgia more than practicality, since the U.K. boasts one of the highest rates of mobile phone ownership in the world. For many people, utility is not the point of the exercise. They just don't want to see the red boxes pulled down.

Even though the telephone boxes seems like they've been around forever, they have been parts of communities only since the late 1930s. Painted the same color as post boxes, the telephone boxes have provided many an opportunity for generations of people to make a quick phone call while on the go.

An exhaustive count of the countryside in 2002 revealed the existence of about 17,000 red telephone boxes all around Britain. That's a lot of real estate to maintain at 800 pounds (British money) a year, which is what it costs British Telecom to maintain each phone box. More than half no longer pay for themselves, and a recent study found that a full 10 percent of phone boxes were used no more than once a month.

In recent years, people have warmed to British Telecom's "Adopt a Kiosk" program, which allows local government organizations to buy their phone box for one pound, with the understanding that the phone inside will no longer work.

That suits many people just fine, since it's the box – not the telephone inside – that evokes nostalgia. Many boxes have been transformed to suit other purposes, including gardens, bulletin boards, and even a library. One phone box in Somerset contains a mannequin created by the primary school nearby.

The big picture for nostalgic Britons and photo opportunity-seeking tourists is that the phone boxes will remain, even if they no longer serve their primary function. By: socialstudiesforkids.com

Life Realities...

As humans, everyone of us is entitled to exist in this mortal world. We came from flesh of dust we will returm in a flesh of dust. But before those times we are given a chance to explore and enjoy the beauty of life. God made us everything free for us to enjoy every creation he made for us. We were gifted with mind for us to developed and explore things. We are gifted with unconditional love for us to value each other. What's more important than taking care of your own family? What's more fulfilling than seeing those person you care and love at peace? What's more else you can ask if you have the wealth of knowledge to earn a living and survive, and a lovely familt who supports you all the way? I guess, nothing more you can ask aside from good health.

As we grow older and as we find the real meaning of our extistence we mostly share what we have except to those people who doesn't have a heart. I don't condemn them well in fact I pray for them that they well find what they search and what they discern to have.

Anyhow, I just one thing to share with you about elderly members of your family. Do you think you will exist without them? Do you think you will savor the fruits you've achieved if you don't know how to value those persons around you? I guess, you can but I'm sure you will not be happy indeed. So, if you have a family member who do need your full attention espcecially if its your Grand-Mother and Father or and Uncle, relatives or even just a friend an stanger you meet be nice to them and pray for their safety and health. Specifically, it obvious that your Grand-Mother or Grand-Father needs you to accompany them living a life. If they need something like medicines, clothings, kendall briefs, and some other valuable things be patient to provide it for them. Remember, you'll arrived on their stage too and besides they are your family. So, extend your love, care and understanding to those people who needs it and don't expect for return. God will do the rest.

Education for Children

Do you know that education is the basic foundation of knowledge and it plays a vital role in achieving success and well-being? Do you know that it is a vital element in our life and it simply makes us more mature and brave enough to facing any realty in life? Well, I conclude that education is indeed important in our everybody lives. For that, I highly recommend to each and every one of you parents that to remain responsive to the needs of their children specifically, the education aspects of a child. They must be responsible in providing quality early childhood education for their children who are at a vulnerable, but highly curious age for learning. Their minds need enrichment during their younger years and that needs to come from their education. Remember, a good foundation of education for every child is indeed crucial to become a good and productive citizen as they grow. So, every parent should seek the opinions from those who are experienced regarding daycare centers. They must consider the contributing factors that might possibly expedite the learning process of a child and to utilize this. Moreover, it is therefore obvious that a child development center plays an essential role in the child's development but also in nation building. Every child's mind can thrive and be better, and have the chance to enrich those of others in the future. For those parents out there who wish to send their children to a high quality and very standardized school, consider Green Acres Learning Center. As they say: 'cause with them, the future of your children is as bright as a morning star!".

Lions, Hyena Killed With Poisoned Meat

Five lions and a hyena have died after eating bait laced with poison in southern Kenya, wildlife advocates say.

Found on a community-owned ranch near a major national park, a bloody bucket streaked with purple stains suggests the animals were killed with a controversial pesticide that's become a conservationist's nightmare.

It's believed Maasai men, who live on the ranch and are traditionally nomadic herders, are responsible for the lion and hyena deaths. At least one Maasai herder has been arrested in connection with the crimes, according to Paula Kahumbu, head of the Nairobi, Kenya-based conservation group WildlifeDirect.

In southern Kenya months of drought have heightened long-standing tensions between wild predators and Maasai people.

(See "Elephants Fall to Drought in Kenya's Amboseli Park.")

As arid conditions make food and water harder to obtain, livestock become ever more valuable to both their owners—and to neighboring predators.

The poisoning occurred on April 2 at the Olgulului Group Ranch near Amboseli National Park, Kahumbu said.

Kahumbu received the news from the Kenya Wildlife Service, which had been alerted by a resident of the ranch, where lions were said to have killed two cows several days earlier.

The luridly stained bucket, she said, probably contained the laced bait. The type of bait, though is unknown, as no trace of it remained.

(WildlifeDirect receives some funding from the National Geographic Society, which owns National Geographic News.)

Kahumbu said test results had not yet arrived but that she believes the pesticide Furadan was used in the poisonings. Sold by Philadelphia-based FMC Corporation, Furadan is a trade name for carbofuran, a highly toxic, odorless pesticide, which comes in purple granules.

Though FMC maintains that Furadan is safe if used properly, the company stopped selling the substance in Kenya and neighboring Uganda and Tanzania after numerous reports emerged in 2008 that herders were using the pesticide to kill lions and other large predators.

(Related: "Lions, Hippos Poisoned in Famous Kenya Park.")

In Kenya the company quickly launched a buyback program. But two years later, conservationists say Furadan lingers on some store shelves.

"Although you can't find Furadan in the main shops, I don't think they withdrew it from some of the main outlying areas," Kahumbu said. "We know that some dealers are selling it by the spoonful."

Ban Furadan?

Conservationists are pressing the Kenyan government to ban Furadan, because they don't believe the government has the resources to regulate its use. Many farmers see the pesticide as a way to kill birds, rats, dogs, and large predators.
"The issue is really whether a country has the capacity to educate its people to handle this safely," said Oliver Nasirwa, the Kenya-waterbirds officer for Wetlands International. "That's the problem for Kenya and most developing countries."

It seems to be a problem in developed countries too. In 2006 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned the pesticide after ruling that Furadan posed an unreasonable risk to the environment, particularly birds. Carbofuran is also banned throughout Europe.

"Communities Are Pissed Off"

Olgulului Group Ranch has been part of an experimental program by which local Maasai herders are reimbursed if lions or other predators kill livestock such as cattle, for which the payment can equal about U.S. $200 a head. (Related: Maasailand lions fund.)

That program has struggled during the drought as Maasai herders in the area grew more intolerant of livestock losses, even with the compensation program in place.

"Apparently the communities are pissed off," WildlifeDirect's Kahumbu said.

"They're not getting what they think is the real value through the compensation scheme," which she noted is technically a "consolation" program. "The full value of the lost animal is not replaced, but a token amount is given to say, Sorry for your loss."

Compensation projects generally have community support and are still among the few viable options for protecting wildlife from aggrieved livestock owners, Kahumbu said.

"Compensation schemes have worked in the past but are extremely
vulnerable to fail under extreme situations, like the drought, when just
one individual can rile up an angry mob and undermine years of work," she said. By: Nick Wadhams in Nairobi, Kenya for National Geographic News
