Did you know that the Victoria Falls bridge was a brainchild of John Cecil Rhodes as part of this grand and unfulfilled dream to create an economic Transport system from Cape to Cairo?
In this Episode of Today with Zamtel, I had the opportunity to explore History bits and pieces of the British South Africa Company (The BSA) and its economic interests in Northern Rhodesia Present day Zambia. Our Production crew focuses on how John Cecil Rhodes the founder of the British South Africa Company pushed British influence into the region of present day Zambia as part of the Scramble for Africa by obtaining mineral rights from local chiefs under questionable treaties. We also highlight his dream to extend the British Empire north, linking the Cape of Good Hope and Cairo.

A very rare documentary about the Rhodesian Special Air Service.
The formation of the Rhodesian SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence John Moore Caldicott, but it was Sir Roy Welensky who was the reported driving force behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS.
In 1960 a detachment of RAF arrived under Squadron Leader E. Minter to conduct the training of the Parachute Evaluation Detachment (PED). By March 1960, the PED was complete and those on the course were presented their wings by the said Minister of Defence. The "experiment" was a complete success and in July decided to form a regular European Special Air Services Squadron. In late 1960, No 1 Training Unit was formed, and once assembled and trained they would form the nucleus of what was to become: 1 Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) and "C" Squadron SAS.
In early 1961 six volunteers from the Air Force were sent to RAF Abingdon in England for parachute instructor training and a further group of volunteer officers and NCO's to complete a selection course with the SAS in Britain. On their return they called for volunteers from No. 1 Training Unit and in August 1961 the first of many selection courses was run in the Matopos just outside Bulawayo. No 1 basic training course completed their training in November and were presented their wings by Sir Malcolm Barrow, CBE, MP and then Deputy Prime Minister.
In late 1961 the SAS were moved to Tug Argan Barracks (named after the Battle of Tug Argan, fought 10–15 August 1940), Ndola in Northern Rhodesia along with the Selous Scouts Armoured Car Regiment. By July the following year, No 9 basic course received their wings from the Federal Prime Minister himself, Sir Roy Welensky, KCMG, MP. In August 1962, the Unit had sufficient men to become operational and became known as "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service.
With the breakup of the Federation at the end of 1963, the Squadron was virtually destroyed by many taking the "golden handshake" and some remaining in Northern Rhodesia which included all the officers and the OC at that time. Only 38 NCO's and men remained to serve in Southern Rhodesia. The Unit was relocated to Cranborne Barracks in Salisbury. The initial years after the break-up found the unit having difficulty in attracting recruits. This was largely due to the high standards required of an SAS soldier and also due to the "ill feeling" between the SAS and the RLI (from where most of the recruits should have been selected).
Nevertheless, both the SAS and the RLI played crucial roles in the domestic counter-insurgency effort during the Rhodesian Bush War. The SAS and the Selous Scouts, were the principal special forces units used in external operations. In terms of some of the most important of the external operations, the SAS and RLI both participated in Operation Dingo in November 1977, which was one of the most successful operations conducted during the war.
The numbers of men in the SAS went up to approximately 250 when in June 1978 "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service became 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment.[2] The unit moved to their new barracks called Kabrit in 1979 and continued to serve with outstanding success and distinction[citation needed] until it was disbanded with the transition to black majority rule on 31 December 1980 as Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. "D" Squadron was the "cover" name given to the South African Special Forces, Alpha Group from 1 Reconnaissance Commando (1 RC) & Bravo Group from 5 RC who worked alongside "C" Squadron SAS in the South-East corner of Rhodesia and Gaza Province,of Mozambique both separately and jointly from late 1977 – June 1978. SA personnel were also deployed with Rhodesian SAS on Op Splinter on Lake kariba, in 1978.

Northern Rhodesia was a territory in south central Africa, formed in 1911. It became independent in 1964 as Zambia.
It was initially administered under charter by the British South Africa Company and formed by it in 1911 by amalgamating North-Western Rhodesia and North-Eastern Rhodesia. Although it had features of a charter colony the territory's treaties and charter gave it protectorate status. From 1924 it was administered by the British government as an official British protectorate.
The geographical, as opposed to political, term "Rhodesia" referred to a region generally comprising the areas that are today Zambia and Zimbabwe. From 1964 it only referred to the former Southern Rhodesia.
The name "Rhodesia" was derived from Cecil John Rhodes, the British empire-builder who was a guiding figure in British expansion north of the Limpopo River into south-central Africa. Rhodes pushed British influence into the region by obtaining mineral rights from local chiefs under questionable circumstances. After making a vast fortune in mining in South Africa, it was his ambition to extend the British Empire north, all the way to Cairo if possible. He sent European settlers into the territory that became Southern Rhodesia, and encouraged and financed British expeditions to bring areas north of the Zambezi into the British sphere of influence.

Cecil John Rhodes PC, DCL (5 July 1853 – 26 March 1902) was an English-born South African businessman, mining magnate, and politician. He was the founder of the diamond company De Beers, which today markets 40% of the world's rough diamonds and at one time marketed 90%. An ardent believer in British colonialism, he was the founder of the state of Rhodesia, which was named after him. In 1964, Northern Rhodesia became the independent state of Zambia and Southern Rhodesia was thereafter known simply as Rhodesia. In 1980, Rhodesia, which had been de-facto independent since 1965, became independent from Britain and was renamed Zimbabwe. South Africa's Rhodes University is also named after Rhodes. He set up the provisions of the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate.
Historian Richard A. McFarlane views Rhodes "as integral a participant in southern African and British imperial history as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln are in their respective eras in United States history... most histories of South Africa covering the last decades of the nineteenth century are contributions to the historiography of Cecil Rhodes."

Rhodesian Special Air Service documentary
A very rare documentary about the Rhodesian Special Air Service. The formation of the Rhodesian SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence John Moore Caldicott, but it was Sir Roy Welensky who was the reported driving force behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS. In 1960 a detachment of RAF arrived under Squadron Leader E. Minter to conduct the training of the Parachute Evaluation Detachment (PED). By March 1960, the PED was complete and those on the course were prese... -

Did you know that the Victoria Falls bridge was a brainchild of John Cecil Rhodes as part of this grand and unfulfilled dream to create an economic Transport system from Cape to Cairo?
In this Episode of Today with Zamtel, I had the opportunity to explore History bits and pieces of the British South Africa Company (The BSA) and its economic interests in Northern Rhodesia Present day Zambia. Our Production crew focuses on how John Cecil Rhodes the founder of the British South Africa Company pushed British influence into the region of present day Zambia as part of the Scramble for Africa by obtaining mineral rights from local chiefs under questionable treaties. We also highlight his dream to extend the British Empire north, linking the Cape of Good Hope and Cairo.

A very rare documentary about the Rhodesian Special Air Service.
The formation of the Rhodesian SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence John Moore Caldicott, but it was Sir Roy Welensky who was the reported driving force behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS.
In 1960 a detachment of RAF arrived under Squadron Leader E. Minter to conduct the training of the Parachute Evaluation Detachment (PED). By March 1960, the PED was complete and those on the course were presented their wings by the said Minister of Defence. The "experiment" was a complete success and in July decided to form a regular European Special Air Services Squadron. In late 1960, No 1 Training Unit was formed, and once assembled and trained they would form the nucleus of what was to become: 1 Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) and "C" Squadron SAS.
In early 1961 six volunteers from the Air Force were sent to RAF Abingdon in England for parachute instructor training and a further group of volunteer officers and NCO's to complete a selection course with the SAS in Britain. On their return they called for volunteers from No. 1 Training Unit and in August 1961 the first of many selection courses was run in the Matopos just outside Bulawayo. No 1 basic training course completed their training in November and were presented their wings by Sir Malcolm Barrow, CBE, MP and then Deputy Prime Minister.
In late 1961 the SAS were moved to Tug Argan Barracks (named after the Battle of Tug Argan, fought 10–15 August 1940), Ndola in Northern Rhodesia along with the Selous Scouts Armoured Car Regiment. By July the following year, No 9 basic course received their wings from the Federal Prime Minister himself, Sir Roy Welensky, KCMG, MP. In August 1962, the Unit had sufficient men to become operational and became known as "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service.
With the breakup of the Federation at the end of 1963, the Squadron was virtually destroyed by many taking the "golden handshake" and some remaining in Northern Rhodesia which included all the officers and the OC at that time. Only 38 NCO's and men remained to serve in Southern Rhodesia. The Unit was relocated to Cranborne Barracks in Salisbury. The initial years after the break-up found the unit having difficulty in attracting recruits. This was largely due to the high standards required of an SAS soldier and also due to the "ill feeling" between the SAS and the RLI (from where most of the recruits should have been selected).
Nevertheless, both the SAS and the RLI played crucial roles in the domestic counter-insurgency effort during the Rhodesian Bush War. The SAS and the Selous Scouts, were the principal special forces units used in external operations. In terms of some of the most important of the external operations, the SAS and RLI both participated in Operation Dingo in November 1977, which was one of the most successful operations conducted during the war.
The numbers of men in the SAS went up to approximately 250 when in June 1978 "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service became 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment.[2] The unit moved to their new barracks called Kabrit in 1979 and continued to serve with outstanding success and distinction[citation needed] until it was disbanded with the transition to black majority rule on 31 December 1980 as Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. "D" Squadron was the "cover" name given to the South African Special Forces, Alpha Group from 1 Reconnaissance Commando (1 RC) & Bravo Group from 5 RC who worked alongside "C" Squadron SAS in the South-East corner of Rhodesia and Gaza Province,of Mozambique both separately and jointly from late 1977 – June 1978. SA personnel were also deployed with Rhodesian SAS on Op Splinter on Lake kariba, in 1978.

The Burden of Religion: A. C. Grayling on the Case Against Faith and for Humanism (2013)

Grayling was born and raised in Luanshya, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), within the British expatriate community, while his father worked for the Standard Chartered Bank.[4] He attended several boarding schools, including Falcon College in Zimbabwe, from which he ran away after being caned.[5] His first exposure to philosophical writing was at the age of twelve, when he found an English translation of the Charmides, one of Plato's dialogues, in a local library.[4] At age fourteen, he read G. H. Lewes's Biographical History of Philosophy (1846), which confirmed his ambition to study philosophy; he said it "superinduced order on the random reading that had preceded it, and settled my vocation."[6]
Grayling was the third sibling. When he was 19 years old, his elder sister Jennifer was murdered in Johannesburg. She had been born with brain damage, and after brain surgery to alleviate it at the age of 20 had experienced personality problems that led to several inappropriate affairs and a premature marriage. She was found dead in a river shortly after the marriage; she had been stabbed. When her parents went to identify her, her mother—already ill—had a heart attack and died. Grayling said he dealt with his grief by becoming a workaholic.[7]
After moving to England in his teens, he spent three years at the University of Sussex, but said that although he applauded their intention to educate generalists, he wished to be a scholar, so in addition to his BA from Sussex, he also completed one in philosophy as a University of London external student.[5] He went on to obtain an MA from Sussex, then attended Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was taught by P. F. Strawson and A. J. Ayer, obtaining his doctorate in 1981 for a thesis on "Epistemological Scepticism and Transcendental Arguments."
For Grayling, work on technical problems of the foregoing kind is only one aspect of philosophy. Another aspect, one which has been at the centre of philosophy's place in history, has more immediate application to daily life: the questions of ethics, which revolve upon what Grayling calls the great Socratic question, 'How should one live?'. In pursuit of what he describes as 'contributing to the conversation society has with itself about possibilities for good lives in good societies.' Grayling writes widely on contemporary issues, including war crimes, the legalisation of drugs, euthanasia, secularism, and human rights. He has articulated positions on humanist ethics and on the history and nature of concepts of liberty as applied in civic life. In support of his belief that the philosopher should engage in public debate, he brings these philosophical perspectives to issues of the day in his work as a writer and as a commentator on radio and television.
On this latter point, Grayling's view is that for historical reasons religions have a grossly inflated place in the public domain out of all proportion to the numbers of their adherents or their intrinsic merits, so that their voice and influence is amplified disproportionately: with the result that they can distort such matters as public policy (e.g. on abortion) and science research and education (e.g. stem cells, teaching of evolution). He argues that winning the metaphysical and ethical debates is already abating the problems associated with (c) in more advanced Western societies, even the US. He sees his own major contribution as being the promotion of understanding of humanist ethics deriving from the philosophical tradition.[11]
Between 1999 and 2002 Grayling wrote a weekly column in The Guardian called "The Last Word", in which he turned his attention to a different topic every week. In these columns, which also formed the basis of a series of books for a general readership, commencing with The Meaning of Things in 2001, Grayling made the basics of philosophy available to the layperson. He is a regular contributor to The Guardian's "Comment is free" group blog, and writes columns for, among others, the Prospect and New Scientist magazines.
Grayling is accredited with the United Nations Human Rights Council, and is a patron of the British Humanist Association, an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society, patron of the British Armed Forces Humanist Association and trustee of the London Library. He was a board member of the Society of Authors. In 2003 he was a Booker Prize judge. In 2005, Grayling debated Christian philosopher William Lane Craig on whether God can exist in an evil world.

How is the Africa - walking in Africa
The Republic of Zambia /ˈzæmbiə/ is a landlocked country in Southern Africa,[8] neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, in the south-central part of Zambia. The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest. Originally inhabited by Khoisan peoples, the region was colonised during the Bantu expansion of the thirteenth century. After visits by European explorers in the eighteenth century, Zambia became the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century. For most of the colonial period, Zambia was governed by an admini... -

The younger women if you also notice she is also wearing a mini-dress. The young warriors are Rendille and Masai tribes men located in the northern part of Kenya.

Africa overland
Gepubliceerd op 16 okt. 2015 African road trip from The Netherlands to Cape Town and back along the east coast to Egypt. Solo, but with my trusted Rhodesian Ridgeback, Thimba. Most of it was shot in Morocco, the Guineas, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Congo. The part with the mud and water is the "highway" from the coast to the capital in Congo Brazzaville. Sort of the M1. The overturned truck is blocking a similar main road. With the aid of two guides I managed a bypass. The descent was so steep that I had to ask two - at the time - fellow travellers to hang on to the back of my car to prevent it from tipping over. The voice over is Steven, an experienced (motorbike) world traveller, who had the most scary moments in his career ("It's f***ing mental!"). He told me afterwards that he thought of... -

KARIBA DAM REPORT
The first of ten giant transformers for the hydro-electric installation at Kariba, in Rhodesia. On its way to the site, bridges had to be strengthened to carry the weight of 200 tons. The trickiest part of all was delivering the 90 ton transformer into the underground Power Station itself. To ensure the water-flow, new outlets have been opened, high up the dam-wall. Massive progress has been made at Kariba, and blowing-up part of the original coffer dam is part of it.

Federation
A federation (from Latin: foedus, gen.: foederis, "covenant"), also known as a federal state, is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, are typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body. The governmental or constitutional structure found in a federation is known as federalism. It can be considered the opposite of another system, the unitary state. Germany with sixteen Länder is an example of a federation, whereas neighboring Austria and its Bundesländer was a unitary... -

At the town of Makuti, situated high on Zambezi Escarpment, you need to fill up your tanks as there are no petrol or diesel available in Mana Pools National Park.
Self Drive Do it Yourself Zimbabwe. http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/
This is also a good time to do some last minute shopping or to enjoy an ice-cold beer at the hotel.
16 Km from Makuti on your way to Zambia you will reach the National Parks office situated at Marongora.
All visitors to the Zambezi Valley must obtain an entry permit here.
You won't be allowed into the reserve without it.
The view onto the Zambezi Valley from the top of the escarpment is magnificent and on a clear day you can see forever.
Descending the winding pass to the foot of the escarpment you reach the turnoff to Mana Pools 16 km from Marongora where you obtained your permit.
Turn right onto the gravel road.
The distance to Nyamepi Camp and the reception office is 72 km and could take up to 2 hours to reach.
Although most types of vehicles can negotiate most of the roads in the park, care should be taken especially at the sandy river crossings.
The 220 000 ha Mana pools National Park lies in the north of Zimbabwe between the Rukomechi and Sapi rivers.
The Zambezi River forms the northern boundary and the Zambezi Escarpment the southern.
Huge herds of elephant and buffalo occur in the park and lion, waterbuck, zebra and impala are plentiful.
Nearly 400 species of bird have been recorded in the area.
Open in the dry months from May to October Mana Pools is one of the most untamed areas of the country and tourist is still allowed to walk away from his vehicle through tall open forest of mahogany and acacia.
Elephant and lion are common residents so walkers need to be alert.
The Zambezi valley is one of the low-lying areas of the country with very high temperatures in the summer.
The best times to visit are the late winter or spring months when the temperatures are milder.
During the dry winter months the animals concentrate round the waterholes and the banks of the Zambezi. The veld is dry and brown with little or no grass.
When the rains comes, normally in early November, the land is suddenly transformed into a green haven.
The floodplains become carpeted with lush green grass. The whole area resembles an enormous park.
During this time the large pools along the banks of the river, which give the area its name, fills up from the heavy rains.

My Days of Traveling - (2) Kevin Slean 5-24-2015
Survived a stoning on the Island of Timor is something I will never forget because of a miscalculations of my actions. Traveling through those Indonesian Islands was not just tough it was punishment. Of all those islands Tanjung Pinang, Sumatra,Java, Bali,Lombok,Sumbawa,Flores,Timor and East Timor. Bali was the only one I could say I enjoyed. Traveling month in and month out year after year in remote parts of the world take it's toll on you not only physically but mentally to.
Motorbike through the Transvaal, Swaziland, Mozambique, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and a stop at the Victoria Falls. Rhodesia / Zimbabwe with it's ruin's the falls and wide open space's is beautiful has a lot to offer and it's sad the condition it is in today.
When I was young in short trousers I would travel alone to my uncle /aunt (Brady) farm in Rosduff, Aughnacliffe County Longford from Dublin for my summer holidays that I used to look forward to every year. It was a new world to me compared to life in Dublin with fields upon fields of hay, fields of oats, fields of potatoes,all the green fields and meadows you want to see and more green fields for grazing, country roads, side roads, lanes,cross roads and every one had a story and the best of all was fair days in Arva, cattle fair day and the pig fairs. The beauty of this part of north Longford is Lough Gowna with it's bays and inlets that is famous for it's fishing.
As I got older I began to drive a team of horse's on the mowing machine cutting oats. It took one whole day to cut two fields on my uncle's farm and few days later we would cut two fields for a neighbor. Back then farmer's went partners on a mowing machine since every farmer had only one horse and it took two horse's to pull it. You also needed extra hands from the other neighboring farmers to get the job done. The results of my job trying to control those horse's going around in a circle all day was two hands full of blisters from the reins and I learned from that experience if I didn't keep those horses under control all the time and I mean all the time to get a full cut of oats on the blade I got yelled at from the neighbor who sat next to me on the mowing machine whose job was regulating the size of the sheaf as the oats was been cut. It frazzled me at first to be yelled at like that from this big bully since I was only a kid from the city from this neighbor who my uncle Brian(Bernie Joe) who shared the mowing machine with and that his fields also had to be cut and that meant more yelling and bullying from this guy who no one else would go partners with. The bully eventually sold out and moved to Northern Ireland and good riddance.
The other big days on the farm during my vacation were drawing the turf from the bog day which could take two to three days to complete and reek/pike day. On these occasions the farmer needed the help of the other farmers and they inturn returned the favor. The reek or pike day meant drawing cocks of hay from a very large meadow or fields located near the farmers home which could be drawn on a horse and cart or dragging the cock of hay by horse and chains along the ground which was my speciality. My uncle had a very large meadow just below the house and the reek was made as close as possible to the farm yard and I would draw those cocks of hay all day and not get one tumble.
Nasser's henchmen paid me a visit at the apartment I stayed in Hliopolice a suburb of Cairo because they were curious to know who I was. They took me up on my suggestion to resolving the traffic condition and Nasser mentioned it on one of his marathon speeches that went on for hours on TV just days after my friends paid me that visit it was just a idea that I came up with for those guys to chew on.
Machu Picchu Peru the lost city of the Incas juts up into the sky above the clouds and has the fast flowing Urubamba river below that runs parallel to the railroad tracks that runs to Cuzco.
The Incas cut those large stone with such precision they fitted together on top of each other that you couldn't put a knife between them.
Taj Mahal in Agra India is another fine structure made of white marble is as perfect today as the day it was built almost 400 years ago.
The Ayoreos Tribe that I stayed with have one unusual custom and that is live burial when they feel close to death they ask to be buried alive so their spirit enters a white Maned Wolf ("Aguara Guazu'' called in Guarani which is like a large fox)

The Republic of Zambia /ˈzæmbiə/ is a landlocked country in Southern Africa,[8] neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, in the south-central part of Zambia. The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest.
Originally inhabited by Khoisan peoples, the region was colonised during the Bantu expansion of the thirteenth century. After visits by European explorers in the eighteenth century, Zambia became the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century. For most of the colonial period, Zambia was governed by an administration appointed from London with the advice of the British South Africa Company.

My Days of Traveling - (6) Kevin Slean
The picture with the two women in white are Sudanese but the interesting thing about this picture is the old generation and the new generation side by side. The markings on the face are scars cut probably by a grand-mother for beauty reasons, a old tradition and I doubt that they do it now as you can see the young women on the right face is clear. The younger women if you also notice she is also wearing a mini-dress.
The young warriors are Rendille and Masai tribes men located in the northern part of Kenya. I was lucky to to get a picture of the Rendille tribes men because they mostly keep to themselves. I saw them in the distance with their camels crossing the desert and I went out to greet them and they were reluctant to stop for me but in the end they agreed to have there picture taken and then they continued on there journey. Notice there spears, one is covered and the other is
ready to use so that was a signal to me that I must show some respect to them because this one guy(Main guy) would kill you if you crossed him.
The Masai tribes-men that I came across in the small a town in northern Kenya(Marsabit) were
friendly and both the Rendille and the Masia look similar but the Rendille stay with there native custom traditional way of life and probably are more dangerous.
The picture with the Sudanese family was taken in Omdurman, they insisted on this picture. I was invited back to this Sudanese guys home who rescued me from a bunch of kids that surrounded me in the main square in Omdurman. They were more or less curious in what I was all about. So to make it up to me the guy invited me back to his home for lunch with his family.
Drinking tea (Pongo was offered as if it was the norm) after lunch is one way of relaxing after a good meal.
Next day I was brought by this same guy to a circumcision party located deep into Omdurman (old part of Khartoum) which I thought later was a little to risky. I was guest of honor and you soon learn "When in Rome do what the Romans do" and you will survive.
Eating sheep's brains with your hand(right) and since I was the guest of honor I was the first to eat and we were all to eat from the same food tray all sitting on the ground cross legged around a very large brass tray full of food.
In the center of the tray was a sheep's head and I was told to start eating and I did'nt know where to start or what to eat with so my Sudanese-friend demonstrated what to do first and that was by digging right into the sheep's head with his right hand and he took a handful of sheep-brains out and eat it . After I took my first handful of sheep-brains out then all the guests started eating the sheep-brains.
Sheep brains is looked upon as a delicacy with some people around the world and good for them but for me it was no big deal. I think there is more of a meaning to it then anything else.
There had to be some order of behavior amongst the guests so I was to be offered to eat more of the sheep-brains to go along with my coke cola that I was hoping would not happen but I took it as a experience and I thank my Sudanese friend to have invited me along.
I have eaten in other parts of the world with my hands and the custom is that you eat only with your right hand because the simple reason is the left hand is used for something else.
The natives riding the camels was in the eastern Sudan crossing the desert near Kassala on my journey from Asmara in Ethiopia to Khartoum in the Sudan.
The picture of the Wailing Wall (Jerusalem)I took from a arab house with a great view who gave me permission to enter there house that they thought would not be their home much longer and I would say those arabs no longer live there, they were moved out and their home probably demolished so not to have arabs living so close to the Wailing Wall.
I imagine that would come under the cleansing code but to the Israelis that would be called relocating which is done in many countries over the years.
The native smoking (this was one time "when in Rome do what the Romans do" went out the window) was in Rhodesia(in the wilderness)all dying of a disease called tsetse-fly. On a dirt trail from Victoria Falls to Kariba near Lake Kariba.
That was a restricted area because of that reason of the tsetse-fly and I could only go thru the motion of smoking that water pipe. Those people were domed and that was the only pleasure they could get was smoking those water pipes.
One of my favorite pictures and that is of the Pyramids & the Sphinx, spectacular sight.
Some simple principals while traveling or vacationing abroad.
You are not born a idiot so don't act like one.
Don't act like a loser or else you will end up like one that will change your life for ever.

My Days of Traveling - (6) Kevin Slean
The picture with the two women in white are Sudanese but the interesting thing about this picture is the old generation and the new generation side by side. The markings on the face are scars cut probably by a grand-mother for beauty reasons, a old tradition and I doubt that they do it now as you can see the young women on the right face is clear. The younger women if you also notice she is also wearing a mini-dress.
The young warriors are Rendille and Masai tribes men located in the northern part of Kenya. I was lucky to to get a picture of the Rendille tribes men because they mostly keep to themselves. I saw them in the distance with their camels crossing the desert and I went out to greet them and they were reluctant to stop for me but in the end they agreed to have there picture taken and then they continued on there journey. Notice there spears, one is covered and the other is
ready to use so that was a signal to me that I must show some respect to them because this one guy(Main guy) would kill you if you crossed him.
The Masai tribes-men that I came across in the small a town in northern Kenya(Marsabit) were
friendly and both the Rendille and the Masia look similar but the Rendille stay with there native custom traditional way of life and probably are more dangerous.
The picture with the Sudanese family was taken in Omdurman, they insisted on this picture. I was invited back to this Sudanese guys home who rescued me from a bunch of kids that surrounded me in the main square in Omdurman. They were more or less curious in what I was all about. So to make it up to me the guy invited me back to his home for lunch with his family.
Drinking tea (Pongo was offered as if it was the norm) after lunch is one way of relaxing after a good meal.
Next day I was brought by this same guy to a circumcision party located deep into Omdurman (old part of Khartoum) which I thought later was a little to risky. I was guest of honor and you soon learn "When in Rome do what the Romans do" and you will survive.
Eating sheep's brains with your hand(right) and since I was the guest of honor I was the first to eat and we were all to eat from the same food tray all sitting on the ground cross legged around a very large brass tray full of food.
In the center of the tray was a sheep's head and I was told to start eating and I did'nt know where to start or what to eat with so my Sudanese-friend demonstrated what to do first and that was by digging right into the sheep's head with his right hand and he took a handful of sheep-brains out and eat it . After I took my first handful of sheep-brains out then all the guests started eating the sheep-brains.
Sheep brains is looked upon as a delicacy with some people around the world and good for them but for me it was no big deal. I think there is more of a meaning to it then anything else.
There had to be some order of behavior amongst the guests so I was to be offered to eat more of the sheep-brains to go along with my coke cola that I was hoping would not happen but I took it as a experience and I thank my Sudanese friend to have invited me along.
I have eaten in other parts of the world with my hands and the custom is that you eat only with your right hand because the simple reason is the left hand is used for something else.
The natives riding the camels was in the eastern Sudan crossing the desert near Kassala on my journey from Asmara in Ethiopia to Khartoum in the Sudan.
The picture of the Wailing Wall (Jerusalem)I took from a arab house with a great view who gave me permission to enter there house that they thought would not be their home much longer and I would say those arabs no longer live there, they were moved out and their home probably demolished so not to have arabs living so close to the Wailing Wall.
I imagine that would come under the cleansing code but to the Israelis that would be called relocating which is done in many countries over the years.
The native smoking (this was one time "when in Rome do what the Romans do" went out the window) was in Rhodesia(in the wilderness)all dying of a disease called tsetse-fly. On a dirt trail from Victoria Falls to Kariba near Lake Kariba.
That was a restricted area because of that reason of the tsetse-fly and I could only go thru the motion of smoking that water pipe. Those people were domed and that was the only pleasure they could get was smoking those water pipes.
One of my favorite pictures and that is of the Pyramids & the Sphinx, spectacular sight.
Some simple principals while traveling or vacationing abroad.
You are not born a idiot so don't act like one.
Don't act like a loser or else you will end up like one that will change your life for ever.
Do not trust any one other then the people you travel with and even that is a risk because some people are just really naive.

Gepubliceerd op 16 okt. 2015
African road trip from The Netherlands to Cape Town and back along the east coast to Egypt. Solo, but with my trusted Rhodesian Ridgeback, Thimba.
Most of it was shot in Morocco, the Guineas, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Congo.
The part with the mud and water is the "highway" from the coast to the capital in Congo Brazzaville. Sort of the M1.
The overturned truck is blocking a similar main road. With the aid of two guides I managed a bypass. The descent was so steep that I had to ask two - at the time - fellow travellers to hang on to the back of my car to prevent it from tipping over. The voice over is Steven, an experienced (motorbike) world traveller, who had the most scary moments in his career ("It's f***ing mental!"). He told me afterwards that he thought of jumping off, but I'm glad he didn't!
I consider myself an experienced off roader, but this was exceptional. It doesn't really show how steep it is in the video. It's remarkable how focussed you are in moments like this. But after the descent I got out of the car tears flowed.
It's a quick and dirty sort of video, no fancy editing, but it gives an impression of this part of the overlanding trip in this magnificent part of Africa!
The e-book Travels with Thimba is available on the iBooks store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1078635743
"A 65.000 km. road trip all around Africa. Solo, but with with my trusted canine companion Thimba, a two-year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. A year with a narrow escape from Ebola infested West Africa, to getting stuck in the desert of Sudan. A travelogue for the would-be overlander and the armchair escapist, packed with stunning Hi-Res photographs!
A must-read for would-be overlanders, armchair escapists and Land Rover enthusiasts!"

The first of ten giant transformers for the hydro-electric installation at Kariba, in Rhodesia. On its way to the site, bridges had to be strengthened to carry the weight of 200 tons. The trickiest part of all was delivering the 90 ton transformer into the underground Power Station itself. To ensure the water-flow, new outlets have been opened, high up the dam-wall. Massive progress has been made at Kariba, and blowing-up part of the original coffer dam is part of it.

2. Various of brown swan
3. Set-up of ornithologist, Julius Morkunas, handling swan
4. SOUNDBITE (lithuanian) Julius Morkunas, ornithologist:
"If nobody takes care of this swan it is most likely to die, he will freeze to death. It happens very rarely in nature, but somebody has kept this little swan at home and fed it, and then released. If swans don't wash their feathers in the water, the feathers get dirty and are not water resistant anymore, and the birds freeze."

9. SOUNDBITE (Lithuanian) Ricardas Patapavicius, director of bird ringing centre:
"Most of the birds stay here in winter because the conditions are great. First of all, there are some rivers and lakes that don't freeze over. And the second condition that has nothing to do with climate change is people feeding wild birds, especially in summer, which should be banned."

15. SOUNDBITE (Lithuanian) Aurimas Steponavicius, veterinarian:
"Swans can travel short distances quite well, if there is enough space for them (in the car), but if it's a long way we need a smaller cage, so that they don't hurt their wings. Because swans flap their wings to keep balance, which is very important for them."

Kaunas - January 22, 2009
26. Mid of swans walking into river and swimming away
LEAD-IN:
The effects of climate change seems to have lulled swans and storks in Lithuania into a false sense of security.
Encouraged by seemingly warmer temperatures, each year an increasing number of wild birds are choosing not to migrate over winter.
But, the weather can be very changeable, and some birds find themselves skating on thin ice.
STORYLINE:
Swans on the River Nemen in Kaunas - the second largest city in Lithuania.
This is where volunteers and veterinarians from the Lithuanian Animal Care Association are at work this winter.
They take wild birds, who are struggling to cope with often freezing temperatures, to special farms for a little rest and recuperation.
So far this year around 200 swans and storks have been taken to a sanctuary outside Kaunas.
Director of bird ringing at the farm, Ricardas Patapavicius, says climate change isn't the only reason the wild birds are staying in the country over winter.
Patapavicius says people feed the birds and they get used to it. He believes the practise should be banned.
As soon as the weather warms, the birds are taken back to the wild so they don't get do used to the bed and breakfast service at the sanctuary.
Meteorologist Naglis Sulija says in general the winter in Lithuania is getting warmer each year.
Temperatures are currently hovering around freezing (February 5 2009).

KEN HAMES
Following an impressive 25 year military career, Ken Hames has brought a unique slant to the many documentaries that he has created and presented for TV. Ken's third series of 'Beyond Boundaries' set in the Andes range in Ecuador just finished broadcasting this followed his highly acclaimed BBC1 documentary 'Ex Forces and Homeless' and his next broadcast series will be 'Beyond Boundaries -- Where Are They Now' broadcasting in October.
'Mission Africa' was a 15 part series for primetime BBC1 where Ken took a group of young apprentice builders from the UK to Kenya to build the first eco lodge and game reserve to protect the endangered species that live there working closely with the Born Free Foundation. This was then handed over to the local Samburu tribe as a sustainable business that also protects the wildlife. Ken first got the idea for 'Mission Africa' a few years ago when he was on a major expedition in Kenya's Northern Frontier District and the local Samburu tribe came to his rescue offering food, water and shelter until the flood waters had subsided and Ken vowed to come back and help them one day.
Ken created and is the expedition leader on the ground breaking 'Beyond Boundaries' series for BBC TV. This is now a successful brand with it's own live event, bringing disabled people from all over the world together with their friends and families. Each series, Ken takes a different group of highly disabled people and motivates them to achieve seemingly impossible expeditions. He trains and inspires them into a team and the end result is life changing.
'Desert Darlings' was broadcast on Channel 4 in spring 2003. Ken took couples across the Namib Desert, placing their sometimes fragile relationships under the extreme pressures of an expedition. His first series for Channel 4, was the award winning, 'Jungle Janes', where Ken's challenge was to turn a group of British women, none of whom had any expedition experience, into a cohesive team fit enough to take on the gruelling jungles of Borneo. It was enjoyed by millions who found this journey an inspiration. The first documentary was a television series, called 'The Trek' broadcast by Meridian. In 1994, with the help of Diana, Princess of Wales, Ken was able to take twelve disadvantaged youngsters to the heart of Africa on a 500-mile trek over desert and mountainous terrain, The process transformed their lives and Ken still monitors their progress, twelve years on.
These documentaries have proved Ken's extraordinary ability to inspire and motivate even the most unlikely candidates. His unique skills enable him to take any rabble of individuals and finish with a winning, cohesive team, using sound leadership and thorough training are just some of the tools he uses. Ken is passionate about empowering people to transform their lives for the better.
Ken presented the highly praised series, 'Greatest SAS Missions' for Five in 2004, CBBC's 'Bring it On', 'Hero Factor' for the Discovery Channel in 2002, 'Battle Stripes' for Sky in 2000, 'Future Fighting Machines' for the US in 2003, Channel 4's 'Shattered' and ITV's 'Celebrity Fit Club'. Ken was also involved from the earliest of stages in the design and development of ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'.
Ken is a real life action man who leads from the front. He has 25 years military experience under his belt, and is almost unique in having served in The Parachute Brigade, the Royal Marines and the Special Air Service. Ken's operational experience is vast, ranging from guarding Nazi war criminal Rudolph Hesse, in Spandau Prison to the liberation of Port Stanley in the Falklands.
He is an accomplished Mountain Guide and skier and represented Great Britain in cross-country skiing. He played rugby for the Combined Services, is an expert in the great outdoors in all survival disciplines and is a keen amateur opera singer

A federation (from Latin: foedus, gen.: foederis, "covenant"), also known as a federal state, is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, are typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body.
The governmental or constitutional structure found in a federation is known as federalism. It can be considered the opposite of another system, the unitary state. Germany with sixteen Länder is an example of a federation, whereas neighboring Austria and its Bundesländer was a unitary state with administrative divisions that became federated, and neighboring France by contrast has always been unitary.
