  • Scary Scarifications<br />
<br />
Seeing a scarification ceremony in the Surma tribe from the Omo valley in Ethiopia is a tough time. Not for the girl who is going to be scarified but for the foreigner who needs to see blood running, flies going into the wounds, under a hard sun. The girl, who was 12, did NOT say any word during the ten minutes ceremony, and did NOT show any pain. Her mother used a spine to pull the skin and a razor blade to cut the skin. <br />
At the end, i asked her if it was not too hard to have her skin cut with a razor blade, and she answered that she was close to collapse! It was incredible as she did not show any sign of pain on her face. It would be a shame for the family she confessed. A girl's eagerness to tolerate pain is also an indication of her emotional maturity and willingness to bear children.<br />
The kid chooses to do it, nobody obliged her. Scarifications are a beauty sign in the tribes. This is the tradition in Surma tribe.<br />
But for years now, the kids who go to school or who convert to christian, are told not to do it anymore. The men say the lack of scars on the skins make them looking ugly.<br />
The skin of the tribes in this area has a special reaction to cutting: the cicatrisation creates raising scars. Ash and certain organic saps might be added to a wound to make the scarring more prominent and or embellished.<br />
Not far from the Surma area, the Bodi women also make scars, some even have coil scarifications on the shoulders. It is very painful as they use some metal to do this, like when they do it to their cows to mark them on the fur and the skin! Pain seems unknown in the area.<br />
I met Ana who lives in the small village of Hana Mursi. She now hides her scarifications she had at 12, as she has gone to Arba Minch town to study at the Police school. People wearing scarifications are seen as « primitives » by many urban ethiopians and they suffer from this. She is proud to introduce me to her best friend, a bodi teenager who has made a heart on her a

The skin of the tribes in this area has a special reaction to cutting: the cicatrisation creates raising scars. Ash and certain organic saps might be added to a wound to make the scarring more prominent and or embellished.<br />
Not far from the Surma area, the Bodi women also make scars, some even have coil scarifications on the shoulders. It is very painful as they use some metal to do this, like when they do it to their cows to mark them on the fur and the skin! Pain seems unknown in the area.<br />

  • Scary Scarifications<br />
<br />
Seeing a scarification ceremony in the Surma tribe from the Omo valley in Ethiopia is a tough time. Not for the girl who is going to be scarified but for the foreigner who needs to see blood running, flies going into the wounds, under a hard sun. The girl, who was 12, did NOT say any word during the ten minutes ceremony, and did NOT show any pain. Her mother used a spine to pull the skin and a razor blade to cut the skin. <br />
At the end, i asked her if it was not too hard to have her skin cut with a razor blade, and she answered that she was close to collapse! It was incredible as she did not show any sign of pain on her face. It would be a shame for the family she confessed. A girl's eagerness to tolerate pain is also an indication of her emotional maturity and willingness to bear children.<br />
The kid chooses to do it, nobody obliged her. Scarifications are a beauty sign in the tribes. This is the tradition in Surma tribe.<br />
But for years now, the kids who go to school or who convert to christian, are told not to do it anymore. The men say the lack of scars on the skins make them looking ugly.<br />

  • Trolley Graveyard<br />
<br />
Located out in the wilderness of Pennsylvania lies a set of street cars, most of which are from Boston and Philadelphia. Often mistaken as being abandoned, the graveyard is actually a scrapyard and an active business.<br />
<br />
They are owned by a man named Ed Metka who purchased many of them in the 1980s, when rail services were auctioning off their out of service PCC fleet. He had them transported on flatbeds from Boston to his railcar repair shop in a small coal mining town in the mountains of Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
The name PCC comes from the name of a design committee formed in 1929 as the Presidents’ Conference Committee. The PCC streetcar design was first built in the United States in the 1930s. The design proved successful here, and after World War II it was licensed for use elsewhere in the world. They were manufactured by St. Louis Car Company and Pullman Standard, many of which are still in service all around the world.<br />
<br />
Metka had initially planned to repair them and sell them , but hasn’t found an interested buyer for them yet. Over the past couple of years, the cars have been vandalized and scrap metal thieves have stolen parts of the cars. Until a buyer is found, they will continue to deteriorate.<br />

  • EXTREME close-up as BEAR goes in to sniff Russian wildlife photographer<br />
<br />
This is the hair-raising moment a bear moved in for an extreme close-up as it sniffed a wildlife photographer camped out in the Russian wilderness.<br />
<br />
Mike Korostelev captured pictures of the brown bear after it came within inches of his lens at his hide-out in Kuril Lake in Kamchatka, Russia.<br />
<br />
He was able to get up close and personal with the animals thanks to his self-built protective photography cage.<br />
<br />
He said: 'For pictures of the bears on the Kuril Lake, I specially built a cage of metal sticks. I brought the cage to the lake and put it on the shore, where there were a lot of salmon going to spawn.<br />
<br />
'The cage became my home for a couple of weeks; although I spent the night in a tent on the territory of the Ranger Station.<br />
<br />
'I sat patiently in a cage, waiting for the bears. When bears passed, I tried not to move, so they do not scare off.<br />
<br />
'Some of them passed by, just slightly glancing at me. Some fished in front of my cage, not paying attention to me. <br />
<br />
'And some of the most curious came to the cell and started sniffing me and my camera.<br />
<br />
'At this point, I tried not to make a sound, and all that could be heard was the bear breathing and the sound of mosquito flies around his nose.' <br />

Mike Korostelev captured pictures of the brown bear after it came within inches of his lens at his hide-out in Kuril Lake in Kamchatka, Russia.<br />
<br />
He was able to get up close and personal with the animals thanks to his self-built protective photography cage.<br />
<br />
He said: 'For pictures of the bears on the Kuril Lake, I specially built a cage of metal sticks. I brought the cage to the lake and put it on the shore, where there were a lot of salmon going to spawn.<br />
<br />
'The cage became my home for a couple of weeks; although I spent the night in a tent on the territory of the Ranger Station.<br />
<br />
'I sat patiently in a cage, waiting for the bears. When bears passed, I tried not to move, so they do not scare off.<br />
<br />
'Some of them passed by, just slightly glancing at me. Some fished in front of my cage, not paying attention to me. <br />
<br />
'And some of the most curious came to the cell and started sniffing me and my camera.<br />
<br />
'At this point, I tried not to make a sound, and all that could be heard was the bear breathing and the sound of mosquito flies around his nose.' <br />

  • Tiger and Goat Are best friends in Primary Zoo<br />
<br />
An interesting story is unfolding in Primorye safari park in Russia and thousands of Internet users are watching it. It started with a regular meal that was delivered to a Siberian tiger kept in a park. His name is Amur. So one day Amur got a meal - he often gets live meals - either small rabbits or some other smaller animals, but this time park workers wanted to treat him with a live goat. However, instead of eating it Amur became best friends with an animal that was supposed to become his dinner.<br />
<br />
Tigers of this safari park twice a week are treated with live food. Live literary - the one they can hunt down like they do in wilderness. Amur, the tiger, knows how to hunt down goats and rabbits however he preferred not to kill this particular goat because he was very brave.<br />
<br />
More than that the zoo workers tell the story that the goat evicted the tiger from his "bedroom" and occupied it. Now the tiger sleeps outside and the goat lives inside of the tigers ex house.<br />
<br />
Now they go for a walk together and even get fed together. The tiger never mixes up his friend with his other food he eats and always eats aside from the goat.<br />
<br />
Thousands of Russian people watch for the updates now. They are eager to see each day what's going on with this unusual pair. So the zoo workers post updates daily now. For example now they noticed that the tiger protects the goat from people. If people approach the goat, the tiger hisses and acts aggressively. Zoo workers say that they hadn't noticed such behavior of a tiger before.<br />
<br />
Also the workers say that each night the goat and the tiger smell each other before going to sleep.<br />
<br />
Then each morning they both go to the big park outside for a walk. At first the tiger walks out of their place and then he waits for the goat to join him. Then they go to the park together.The zoo workers say the animals are always spending their time together.<br />

<br />
Now they go for a walk together and even get fed together. The tiger never mixes up his friend with his other food he eats and always eats aside from the goat.<br />
<br />
Thousands of Russian people watch for the updates now. They are eager to see each day what's going on with this unusual pair. So the zoo workers post updates daily now. For example now they noticed that the tiger protects the goat from people. If people approach the goat, the tiger hisses and acts aggressively. Zoo workers say that they hadn't noticed such behavior of a tiger before.<br />
<br />
Also the workers say that each night the goat and the tiger smell each other before going to sleep.<br />

Then each morning they both go to the big park outside for a walk. At first the tiger walks out of their place and then he waits for the goat to join him. Then they go to the park together.The zoo workers say the animals are always spending their time together.<br />

  • Tiger and Goat Are best friends in Primary Zoo<br />
<br />
An interesting story is unfolding in Primorye safari park in Russia and thousands of Internet users are watching it. It started with a regular meal that was delivered to a Siberian tiger kept in a park. His name is Amur. So one day Amur got a meal - he often gets live meals - either small rabbits or some other smaller animals, but this time park workers wanted to treat him with a live goat. However, instead of eating it Amur became best friends with an animal that was supposed to become his dinner.<br />
<br />
Tigers of this safari park twice a week are treated with live food. Live literary - the one they can hunt down like they do in wilderness. Amur, the tiger, knows how to hunt down goats and rabbits however he preferred not to kill this particular goat because he was very brave.<br />
<br />
More than that the zoo workers tell the story that the goat evicted the tiger from his "bedroom" and occupied it. Now the tiger sleeps outside and the goat lives inside of the tigers ex house.<br />

  • Doggy Scouts<br />
Brookville, Indiana, USA - Since it was founded 13 years ago, the Dog Scouts of America has grown to include 682 canines and their masters, who have formed 38 troops in 22 states. Just like two-legged scouts, the four-legged scouts have organized camp-outs, cookie drives, community service projects and can earn up to 80 merit badges. All the dogs must earn a basic obedience badge, but the rest are just for fun. <br />

  • Inside the 'Porn School': Desert boot camp helps teens beat addiction to online filth with chores, horse riding and lie detectors<br />
<br />
As the internet begins to exert more and more control over our lives, it brings with it an increasingly destructive problem - the rise of online porn.<br />
The issue is perhaps most damaging when it affects the lives of teenagers, who can be at risk of ruining their adolescence with an addiction to hardcore material.<br />
And some parents are taking drastic steps to reform their porn-addict sons - by sending them off to a desert 'boot camp' to help them overcome their troubling behaviour.<br />
<br />
Oxbow Academy, in Utah, is a rehabilitation facility dedicated to teenage boys who have exhibited 'sexual behavioural issues'.<br />
These 'issues' can include a wide variety of problems - some of the boys there have been accused of voyeurism or even assaulting other children.<br />
<br />
When parents send their sons off to the $9,000-a-month facility, they are committing the teens to a tough regime designed to shake them out of their destructive habits.<br />
Around two dozen boys are subjected to therapy, chores - and, of course, a ban on phone and internet use.<br />
The teens, aged between 13 and 17, must spend their days in counselling sessions, joined once a week by their parents via Skype - and after a full day of therapy, the boys attend academic classes until 9pm.<br />
The weekends are taken up with homework and chores such as laundry, although the troubled residents also get the chance to go horse riding in the wilderness around the town of Wales where Oxbow is located.<br />
While there are computers at the school, they are modified so that the only websites accessible from them are online encyclopaedias.<br />
<br />
The teenagers are encouraged to open up about their past problems - and are even subjected to a lie detector test to ensure they are not concealing anything from the therapists.<br />

  • Abandoned Johnny's suffering is over<br />
After up to years of being abandoned, he could have died in agony and alone, but Johnny the stallion donkey was blessed by an amazing lucky encounter. Left to his fate and in excruciating pain from overgrown hooves and twisted legs, the 10-year-old donkey was literally stumbled upon by a photographer taking pictures in the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland . Horrified at what he found, he alerted local police – and Johnny’s time in the wilderness was over. A rescue mission was launched by police and Allen Andrews, the Northern Ireland welfare officer of the Donkey Sanctuary.<br />
Said Mr Allen: “When I arrived I could instantly see that this donkey must be in great pain. His hooves were among the longest I have ever seen, and may not have been attended to by a farrier for at least two years. All four of his hooves were curled and cracked, causing the stallion to walk awkwardly and his legs to become twisted. I cannot imagine how painful this must be for him, and yet he still had a lovely temperament and did not seem to be scared of people.”<br />
The donkey – named after the police officer involved in his rescue – is now being cared for at the sanctuary’s holding in County Tyrone where his feet were X-rayed by a vet to check for internal damage and his hooves trimmed to help him walk normally again.<br />
   Johnny joins the thousands of donkeys rescued by the charity which supports projects to relieve the suffering of donkeys in 29 countries worldwide, including sanctuaries across Europe, where more than 14,500 donkeys and mules have been cared for, and major projects in Egypt , Ethiopia , India , Kenya and Mexico , where donkey welfare is improved through community education and veterinary work.
   Added Mr Allen: “As no owner could be found, the decision was made with the local police to take the donkey our holding base. We have no information about the donkey’s background, or how long he may have been abandoned on t

  • EXTREME close-up as BEAR goes in to sniff Russian wildlife photographer<br />
<br />
This is the hair-raising moment a bear moved in for an extreme close-up as it sniffed a wildlife photographer camped out in the Russian wilderness.<br />
<br />
Mike Korostelev captured pictures of the brown bear after it came within inches of his lens at his hide-out in Kuril Lake in Kamchatka, Russia.<br />
<br />
He was able to get up close and personal with the animals thanks to his self-built protective photography cage.<br />
<br />
He said: 'For pictures of the bears on the Kuril Lake, I specially built a cage of metal sticks. I brought the cage to the lake and put it on the shore, where there were a lot of salmon going to spawn.<br />
<br />
'The cage became my home for a couple of weeks; although I spent the night in a tent on the territory of the Ranger Station.<br />
<br />
'I sat patiently in a cage, waiting for the bears. When bears passed, I tried not to move, so they do not scare off.<br />
<br />
'Some of them passed by, just slightly glancing at me. Some fished in front of my cage, not paying attention to me. <br />
<br />
'And some of the most curious came to the cell and started sniffing me and my camera.<br />
<br />
'At this point, I tried not to make a sound, and all that could be heard was the bear breathing and the sound of mosquito flies around his nose.' <br />

'I sat patiently in a cage, waiting for the bears. When bears passed, I tried not to move, so they do not scare off.<br />
<br />
'Some of them passed by, just slightly glancing at me. Some fished in front of my cage, not paying attention to me. <br />
<br />
'And some of the most curious came to the cell and started sniffing me and my camera.<br />
<br />
'At this point, I tried not to make a sound, and all that could be heard was the bear breathing and the sound of mosquito flies around his nose.' <br />

  • EXTREME close-up as BEAR goes in to sniff Russian wildlife photographer<br />
<br />
This is the hair-raising moment a bear moved in for an extreme close-up as it sniffed a wildlife photographer camped out in the Russian wilderness.<br />
<br />
Mike Korostelev captured pictures of the brown bear after it came within inches of his lens at his hide-out in Kuril Lake in Kamchatka, Russia.<br />
<br />
He was able to get up close and personal with the animals thanks to his self-built protective photography cage.<br />
<br />
He said: 'For pictures of the bears on the Kuril Lake, I specially built a cage of metal sticks. I brought the cage to the lake and put it on the shore, where there were a lot of salmon going to spawn.<br />
