HISTORY FACTS: Did you know? In 1849, to escape 33 years of his life as a slave, Henry "Box" Brown shipped himself in a cargo box from Richmond, Virginia, to the abolitionist zone in Philadelphia.Henry Brown completed the 350-mile journey, barely breathing through the air holes he pierced in his 60-centimeter-wide cargo box, and spent the remaining 50 years of his life as a free person.

TRUE TO LIFE STORY: One day, there was a cyclist named Pierre who was participating in a tough race in the middle of the French countryside 🇫🇷, where the sun was scorching everything around him. Pierre felt very dehydrated and did not find a drop of water in his bottle. While riding his bike, he noticed a calm cow 🐄 grazing by the side of the road. In a moment of desperation and boldness, a strange idea occurred to him. Without stopping or getting off his bike, he skillfully approached the cow and tried to milk it while almost on one wheel. After awkward and funny attempts, he finally succeeded in filling his bottle with fresh milk and took a sip that was like life itself to him. But as soon as he put the bottle back in its place, the cow looked at him with an angry look as if she could not believe what had just happened. Suddenly, she started running after him at an amazing speed, while Pierre was riding his bike as hard as he could. The scene was like a comedy movie; The other racers froze in laughter as they watched Pierre race ahead, not because of his skill, but out of fear of the cow that seemed like it wouldn't stop until it got him. Some cheered him on by shouting, "Hurry up Pierre, she's right behind you!" while others just laughed until tears came to their eyes.

On this day in 1977, a student named Archimedes "Archie" Trajano asked a question. A question that cost him his life. In an open forum held in the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Trajano challenged a then 21-year-old Imee Marcos’ appointment as the director of the National Youth council.

“Must the Kabataang Barangay be headed by the president’s daughter? She would not have gotten the position if she weren't the daughter of the president."

That would be the last of when Trajano would be seen. He was then ejected from the forum, blindfolded, and beaten by Marcos’ bodyguards. For approximately two days, he was missing. On September 2, 1977, his body was found dead. His co**se had indicated he had suffered beatings and torture. His body and face were left severely mangled. His own mother described him as ‘black and blue’. At the time, all media were controlled by the Marcos administration, no new reports or articles were ever made about the situation. His death was covered up as a ‘college hazing’.

To this day, Imee Marcos denies having any hand in Trajano’s death. She claimed to have no knowledge and power as she was only 16 at the time despite records proving her wrong. In a court case in 1991, she was sued by Trajano’s mother in Honolulu, Hawaii. Imee was on the record saying:

“Yes, Archimedes Trajano was tortured and killed, but it's none of your business.”

Imee was found guilty of violating fundamental human rights and was sentenced to pay Trajano’s relatives an astounding 4.16 million dollars excluding attorneys’ fees. Tarajano’s relatives have not yet been paid as the Philippine Supreme Court barred the decision. To this day, attempts have been made to collect the amount, yet Imee has somehow evaded or delayed all judiciary summons.

The bottom line: Archimedes Trajano is one of the many victims of Marcos’ tyranny and has yet to receive any justice. All the while, Imee remains free and currently acts as a senator. Where did this country go wrong, and when will the Filipino people ever learn?

Southern California wildfires: Death toll expected to rise as fires spread

At least five people are feared to have died in a series of devastating wildfires sweeping across Southern California, with authorities warning that the number of fatalities is likely to increase.

The Los Angeles County sheriff has expressed concerns that the death toll will rise as emergency responders struggle to contain the rapidly spreading blazes, which are being fueled by dry and windy conditions.

A new wave of strong Santa Ana winds is forecast to hit the Los Angeles area on Thursday night and Friday morning, putting the region at critical risk of further fires. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning, indicating a high risk of wildfires.

Five major wildfires are currently burning out of control, with firefighters battling to bring them under control. The blazes have already caused widespread destruction, and officials are working to evacuate residents and contain the spread of the fires.

The situation is being closely monitored, with emergency services on high alert as they work to mitigate the impact of the fires. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Syria's New Leader Calls for Refugees to Return Home

Syria's new transitional prime minister, Mohammad al-Bashir, has urged Syrians who have fled the country to return home, following the removal of President Bashar al-Assad from power.

In an interview with Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper, Mr al-Bashir, who was appointed by rebel groups to lead the country until March, said one of his top priorities was to repatriate the millions of Syrian refugees currently living abroad.

"Their skills and experience will be crucial in helping the country to prosper," he said.

Mr al-Bashir issued a direct appeal to Syrians living outside the country, saying: "Syria is now a free nation, one that has regained its pride and dignity. I urge you to return home. We need to rebuild and revive our country, and we require the help of all Syrians to achieve this goal."

The call comes after President Assad fled Syria, as an Islamist-led opposition alliance took control of the capital, Damascus, marking the end of five decades of rule by the Assad family.

BYD Car Leading the Pack

The battle of the electric vehicle (EV) titans is heating up after Tesla, the once undisputed leader in the EV market, faces its first annual sales decline in 2024.

Meanwhile, Tesla's EV rival, BYD, has exploded in popularity, with sales to match its rise.For Tesla, 2024 saw a sharp decline from its 38% growth from the previous year.

BYD has meanwhile capitalized on its swift pivot to "new energy vehicles." The Chinese automaker sold over 4 million EVs in 2024, surpassing Volkswagen as China's top car brand and achieving record-breaking production milestones. BYD's rapid growth highlights its role as a formidable competitor in the global EV landscape.

Don't Let Montezuma's Revenge Ruin Your Vacation

As a travel medicine specialist, I've seen firsthand the debilitating effects of Traveller's Diarrhea. During a recent trip to Mexico, I took all the necessary precautions – drinking bottled water, avoiding street vendors, and peeling my own fruit – but still fell victim to this common illness. Also known as Emporiatic enteritis, Rangoon runs, Maladie de la Mer Rouge, Aden gut, Aztec two-step, or Montezuma's revenge, Traveller's Diarrhea can be a real vacation-ruiner.

The Risks of Traveller's Diarrhea

Traveller's Diarrhea can be a significant problem, especially in remote areas where medical care may be limited. Adults typically experience symptoms for three to five days, while small children may suffer for much longer. In Canada alone, an estimated 1.3 million people contract Traveller's Diarrhea each year.

Staying Healthy on the Go

The good news is that there are steps you can take to minimize your risk of contracting Traveller's Diarrhea. Here are some tips to help you stay healthy on your next trip:

1. Consult a travel medicine specialist: Before your trip, visit a travel medicine specialist or your family doctor to determine if any specific immunizations are required. You may be eligible for a new drinkable vaccine called Dukoral, which can help prevent Traveller's Diarrhea.

2. Drink safely: Stick to carbonated bottled water, soft drinks, bottled fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages without ice. In remote areas, boiling water is sufficient to kill common organisms that cause Traveller's Diarrhea, making hot tea and coffee safe to drink. Avoid ice cubes, which can be contaminated.

3. Eat wisely: Opt for well-cooked foods, and avoid eating from street vendors or consuming raw or undercooked meats and fish. Freshly prepared and steaming hot foods are generally considered safe.

4. Be cautious: If you're unsure about the safety of your food and beverage surroundings, it's best to err on the side of caution and eat somewhere else.

By following these simple tips, you can reduce your risk of contracting Traveller's Diarrhea and enjoy a healthy, stress-free vacation. Don't let Montezuma's revenge ruin your travel plans – be smart, be prepared, and have a great trip!

Stepping into the Wild: Your Virgin Bushwalk in the African Bushveld

SABI SABI, South Africa —

Are you ready to trade the concrete jungle for the untamed wilderness of the African bushveld? While city life offers a sense of security and comfort, a safari in the Savannah is an adventure that awakens primal instincts and immerses you in nature's raw beauty.

As the Land Rover comes to a halt and your feet touch the Savannah floor, preconceptions of an African safari fade away. The intricate details of the bushveld emerge—the soft textures of yellowed grasslands, the earthy scent, and the ambient sounds that were previously drowned out by the hum of a 4x4 engine. Guided by an experienced tracker armed with a gun, a sense of vulnerability and heightened awareness takes over.

Large trees, once seemingly arbitrary, become crucial landmarks. The acacia trees, with their umbrella-like canopies, create intricate patterns on the bushveld floor, rivaling the most ornate Persian carpets. The tracker's expertise is evident in every move, as you are instructed to duck, stay silent, or focus on seemingly insignificant parts of the bush that reveal hidden surprises.

The tracker's keen eye spots the smallest details, such as animal tracks or spoor. Following these leads often results in breathtaking encounters with wildlife, from the dark, gnarled skin of a rhino to the golden mane of a sleeping lion. Occasionally, the remains of a recent kill provide a stark reminder of the circle of life, with vultures anxiously circling the carcass.

Following the guide, you might stumble upon a half-dry drinking hole, where impala cautiously approach the water's edge, risking their lives in crocodile-infested waters. During the winter drought, these watering holes become crucial gathering spots for wildlife, offering prime viewing opportunities from a quiet hide.

Over time, patterns in animal behavior become apparent, revealing migration routes and daily habits. Understanding these behaviors and the diversity of plant life offers profound insights into the natural world and our place within it.

Sabi Sabi's experienced trackers boast an impeccable safety record, with no guest injuries during walking safaris. The question remains: When will you step out of the concrete jungle and into the African bushveld?

Toronto Unlimited: A City of Endless Possibilities

TORONTO — In a city where diversity is the norm, Toronto has unveiled a new brand that embodies its limitless opportunities. "Toronto Unlimited" is the culmination of a 13-month process that involved over 4,500 local survey responses and more than 230 in-depth interviews with leaders in the leisure and customer travel and convention business. The result is a brand that reflects the city's vibrant cultural scene, thriving business community, and stunning natural beauty.

At the heart of the new brand is the idea that Toronto offers something for everyone. From its world-class museums and galleries to its eclectic neighborhoods and scenic waterfront, the city is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered. As Mayor David Miller noted, "Toronto is a financial and cultural leader that competes with the likes of Chicago, Milan, and Barcelona."

One of the most exciting aspects of Toronto's new brand is the array of cultural attractions and events that the city has to offer. The Toronto International Film Festival, for example, will soon have a new home, while the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario are undergoing renovations and expansions. The Four Seasons Performing Arts Centre, which will serve as the new home of the National Ballet of Canada and the Canadian Opera Company, is also under construction.

But Toronto's cultural scene is not just about grand institutions; it's also about the vibrant street festivals and community events that take place throughout the city. This past weekend, for instance, saw the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival, which featured music, food, and performing arts at four major intersections along Yonge Street. Other events included Afrofest, a festival of African music and dance, and the Corso Italia Toronto Fiesta, which celebrated Italian food and culture.

As I explored the city on my bike, I stumbled upon the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival, where I was treated to a lively mix of music, food, and entertainment. From the Midtown Stage to the midway, there was something for everyone to enjoy. I also stopped by the St. Clair location, where I watched a group of enthusiastic participants take part in tango lessons.

After working up an appetite, I headed to Harbourfront, Toronto's waterfront entertainment district, where I found a comfortable spot to rest and take in the stunning views of the city's skyscrapers. From there, I made my way to the Eastern Beaches, where I was greeted by the sights and sounds of a bustling beach volleyball tournament. The Beaches, as locals call it, is a favorite spot for people-watching, and I was not disappointed. From the eclectic shops and restaurants on Queen Street to the scenic waterfront, the area has a relaxed, California-like atmosphere that is hard to resist.

As I sat on a bench, watching the stone sculptors at work, I was struck by the diversity of the crowd around me. People of all ages and backgrounds were enjoying the sunshine, the music, and the company of others. It was a truly Toronto moment, one that embodied the city's spirit of inclusivity and creativity.

While some may argue that the new brand is too bland or too corporate, I believe that it captures the essence of a city that is always evolving and always pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As someone who has made Toronto my home, I can attest to the fact that this city offers endless opportunities for growth, exploration, and self-expression.

In the end, Toronto Unlimited is not just a brand; it's a state of mind. It's a reminder that this city is a place where anything can happen, where creativity and innovation know no bounds, and where diversity is celebrated in all its forms. Whether you're a native Torontonian or just visiting, Toronto has something to offer everyone. So come and experience it for yourself – you never know what wonders you might discover.

Bargaining While Traveling Abroad: A Key to Affordable Getaways
By John Breen

For many travelers, exploring foreign countries can be a costly endeavor. However, with the right strategies, even those on moderate budgets can enjoy regular and affordable trips abroad. One essential technique to master is the art of bargaining, a common practice in many foreign countries, particularly in the developing world.

In most North American transactions, bargaining is not a common practice, except when making large purchases such as cars or homes. As a result, many travelers from this region may feel uncomfortable or unprepared to negotiate prices while abroad. However, in many foreign countries, bargaining is an integral part of everyday life, and failing to participate can result in overspending.

To become a successful bargainer, it's essential to understand that in many foreign countries, everything is negotiable. Vendors often start with prices that are double or more their desired amount, so it's crucial to do some research beforehand. Take the time to ask locals about fair prices, and don't be in a rush to make a purchase or secure a service.

A key component of effective bargaining is being willing to walk away from a transaction. Sometimes, simply showing a lack of interest can prompt vendors to lower their prices without requiring further negotiation. It's also important to remember that, as a traveler from North America, you may be perceived as wealthy by locals, even if you don't consider yourself to be. To avoid being charged inflated prices, it's necessary to become comfortable with the idea of bargaining.

By incorporating bargaining into your travel strategy, you can significantly reduce your expenses and enjoy a more affordable trip. This, combined with other discount travel techniques such as exploring charter flights and last-minute deals, can help make traveling abroad more accessible to those on moderate budgets.

Zoo Use 101

Many people visit zoos without truly seeing the animals, instead merely glancing at them as they rush to conquer the entire park in a single day. This phenomenon is similar to the "seer syndrome" observed in museums, where visitors spend an average of only five to ten seconds looking at each work of art.

The "seer syndrome" refers to the tendency of people to view animals or art without truly observing or appreciating them. This can be attributed to the fact that many people use zoos and museums as a means of fulfilling social obligations, rather than taking the time to truly appreciate the individual exhibits.

However, it is possible to transform from a "seer" to an "observer" by slowing down and taking the time to truly appreciate the animals and their habitats. This can be achieved by focusing on a single animal or exhibit, taking notes and photos, and relaxing to observe and learn.

The author's personal experience working in the San Diego Zoological Society's Behavioral Observer Program is a testament to the benefits of observing animals. By watching a single animal for an extended period, the author gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the animal's behavior and habitat.

For example, the author was tasked with observing a Shoe Bill Stork, a large, dull gray bird that moves slowly. Initially, the author's notes were brief and unremarkable, but as the observation period continued, the author began to notice subtle changes in the bird's behavior and gained a deeper appreciation for the species.

However, becoming an observer can have its drawbacks. Observers may find it difficult to tolerate the behavior of "seers," who may be loud, obtrusive, and disrespectful of the animals. Additionally, observers may feel frustrated by the lack of interest and appreciation shown by "seers" for the individual animals.

Ultimately, learning to be more observant can benefit individuals in many aspects of their lives. By taking the time to truly appreciate and observe the world around them, people can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world and its inhabitants.

Visiting a zoo can be a transformative experience, but only if one takes the time to truly observe and appreciate the animals. By slowing down and focusing on individual exhibits, visitors can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world, and develop a more meaningful connection with the animals and their habitats.

Zermatt, the Eternal Alpine Snow, and a Peek at Switzerland

ZERMATT, Switzerland - The Matterhorn, one of the most photographed mountains in the world, towers above the charming village of Zermatt, its rugged peak a magnet for climbers and tourists alike.

At 4,478 meters, Mont Blanc may be the highest peak in the Alps, but the Matterhorn's distinctive pyramidal shape has made it an iconic symbol of the Swiss Alps. For this writer, the first glimpse of the mountain from the ground up was a breathtaking experience, its snow-capped peak glistening like a solidified flame.

While climbing the Matterhorn is a daunting prospect, locals take it in stride. One native, who had climbed the mountain over 300 times, was matter-of-fact about the feat, while his wife was more pragmatic, saying "the mountain is going nowhere" and that only those with too much time on their hands would attempt to climb it repeatedly.

Zermatt, a car-free village, offers a unique and romantic experience, with transportation limited to cog trains and horse-drawn sleighs. A ride through the snow-covered streets, wrapped in a warm lap robe, is a quintessential Alpine experience.

The village itself is a treasure trove of narrow streets, historic hotels, and inns, sports shops, boutiques, and jewelry stores, with a plethora of high-end watches on display. But what truly sets Zermatt apart is its culinary scene, with every cafe and restaurant serving up delicious, high-quality food in spotless surroundings, complete with fresh flowers on every table.

Unlike other small towns in the region, Zermatt has a thriving year-round tourist population, with a significant number of young people drawn to its outdoor activities and vibrant atmosphere. The Swiss, however, are not just about mountain climbing and outdoor pursuits; they also enjoy a rich cultural heritage, including Alpine festivals, traditional plays, and music, as well as a unique system of direct democracy that allows for a high degree of autonomy in each of the country's 25 sovereign states.

One of the most striking aspects of Switzerland is its linguistic diversity, with French, German, and Italian all spoken in different regions. However, most Swiss people speak multiple languages, and many are fluent in English, making it easy for tourists to navigate the country.

Winter in Switzerland is a magical experience, with snowflakes gently falling on steep roofs and softening the edges of the rugged landscape. As the nights draw in, the snow-covered mountains, rocks, and trees take on a gentle, ethereal quality, inviting visitors to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

Perhaps, as the Swiss have long known, it is in the stillness and quiet of the Alpine nights that we can find the inspiration to create something beautiful, whether it is a delicate lace or an intricate timepiece. As the snow blankets the landscape, it also seems to soften the edges of the human spirit, reminding us of the importance of perseverance, hard work, and creativity in the face of adversity.

Malaysia to Renew Search for Missing MH370 Flight

More than nine years after one of the most baffling incidents in aviation history, Malaysia is set to relaunch efforts to locate the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The announcement was made by Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Friday, in a bid to finally uncover the truth behind the plane's disappearance.

For context, MH370 was a scheduled international passenger flight that vanished on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The incident sparked a massive search operation, covering over 119,140 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) of ocean, but only 18 fragments of the plane have been recovered so far, washed ashore in various locations.

The new search proposal, submitted by exploration firm Ocean Infinity, targets a previously unexplored area in the southern Indian Ocean. Ocean Infinity had previously conducted a search in 2018, but was unsuccessful in locating the wreckage. The firm has been offered a significant incentive to succeed this time around, with a reward of $70 million if it can locate substantive wreckage.

Minister Loke expressed his hope that this renewed effort would finally bring closure to the families of the victims. "We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and give closure to the families," he told a press conference. The Malaysian government has come under pressure from the families of the victims to continue the search, and this latest development is seen as a significant step towards providing answers.

The disappearance of MH370 has been the subject of intense speculation and investigation, with various theories emerging over the years. Despite the extensive searches, the cause of the plane's disappearance remains a mystery, and the lack of closure has been a source of anguish for the families of the victims.

The renewed search effort is expected to begin soon, with Ocean Infinity utilizing its advanced technology and expertise to scour the southern Indian Ocean. The Malaysian government has stressed its commitment to finding the truth behind the disappearance of MH370, and this latest development is seen as a significant step towards achieving that goal.
