EDITORIAL| July 2014
Here are two questions:do you take a pic-
ture of or from something? And do you go
by or with the car? If you are unsure which
of these short words, called prepositions, is
correct, our language feature, which begins
onpage 14,is essential reading. Follow the story of Lucy and Adams holiday
and find out which prepositions are used where. Its a fun and effective way to
learn about these small, but important words.
I gaze across the bluest of seas directly at the magnificent Piton
Mountains, writes author Eve Lucas of the view from her hotel room on the
Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. A paradise for holidaymakers, Saint Lucia has
broad white beaches and tropical rainforests. However, the island also has a
dark history, and its economic future is far from secure. Join our author in
discovering the light and shade of Saint Lucia. The story begins onpage 30.
Earlier this year, I was contacted by the Canisius Kolleg, a high school in
Berlin. The advanced English class had created three games using the Spotlight
language cards (page 53). The imagination and hard work that the pupils had
put into the project assisted by their teacher Stefan Brendgens was im-
pressive. As you read this, they will be completing their Abitur and launchinginto new lives beyond school. We wish them every success.

The racing driver
Susie Wolffis fast very, veryfast. Te 31-year-old is takingpart in practice sessions at the
Formula One Grand Prix in Brit-ain and Germany this month. Tismakes Wolff the first woman in 22years to take part in a Formula Oneevent. She hopes that soon, she willbe doing more than a practice ses-sion. Her goal is to compete in races.Te last time a woman did that wasin 1975.
Driving a racing car requiresgreat physical strength. Driving athigh speeds on the racetrack can feelas if 40 kilograms are pressed againstyour head and neck. Many peopledont believe that women can com-pete with men in Formula One. Butif anyone can prove them wrong, itis Wolff.
Born on 6 December 1982 inthe small town of Oban, Scotland,
Wolff began riding a four-wheeledbike at the age of two. When she waseight, she started go-karting with herolder brother. She didnt realize thatgo-karting was a boys sport untilshe was 14 years old. o her, thiswasnt important anyway.
All of Wolffs adult life has beenspent in the world of racing, fromFormula Renault to DM (the Ger-man ouring Car Championship),where she drove for Mercedes-Benz.In 2012, she joined the WilliamsFormula One team as a developmentdriver. Her husband, oto Wolff, isthe teams executive director.
Wolff has been called the fastestwoman on earth. What is it like todrive faster than 300 kilometres perhour? When Im out there, fearnever comes into it, Wolff told Teelegraph. Te only fear Ive ever ex-perienced is of failure.
In the news
For more than
2,000 years, peo-
ple have been
discussing who
Jesus reallywas. Now, Mac-
leans reports, the debate is heating
up: it appears that a piece of papyrus
referring to Jesuss wife may be gen-
uine. Tests show that the papyrus is
from the eighth century. Fans of The
Da Vinci Code will be thrilled was
Jesus really married to Mary Magda-
lene, as Dan Brown suggests? There is
reason to be sceptical about the claim,
however. Some historians think the
text may be a forgery, even if the pa-
pyrus is 1,300 years old.
Its big news, and not only for Bill and
Hillary: Chelsea Clintonis havinga baby. Is this a sign of a happy fami-
ly or of a dark conspiracy? Is the baby
part of a plan to help Hillary Clinton
soften her image and win the presi-
dency in 2016? A New York Timeswrit-
er suggested this, and The Guardian
reports that there have been other
strange reactions to the news of the
pregnancy. TVs Char-
lie Rose asked the
burning question:
Grandmother or
president? In other
words, can Hillary
hope to have it all?
In the 1990s, Princehad a very pub-lic split with Warner Brothers Records.
The singer was so angry with the la-
bel that he began writing the word
slave on his face. The announcementthat Prince has re-signed with Warner
Brothers came as a surprise, there-
fore. Prince said both he and the label
were quite pleased with the results of
the negotiations. Watch for the 30th-
anniversary edition of Princes hit al-
bum Purple Rain,outthis month.

Out of the ordinary
Writing was invented in Iraq, but today, about 20 per cent of Iraqis
can neither read nor write, and few are interested in books. However,
a 26-year-old named Ali al-Makhzomy thinks that books willhelp rebuild a more civilized Iraq. Makhzomy is starting a public
library in a Baghdad cafe. Some of the 800 books there are from
his personal collection; others have been donated. Many young
people say, I just want to leave Iraq, Makhzomy told The Wash-
ington Post. They see violence everywhere, no respect for the law
... but when we do these cultural activities, we link Iraqs heritage to
their hearts.
Even Buddhist monks can forget things. Lelung Rinpoche, amonk from Tibet, was on the London Tube, when he saw the citys
mayor, Boris Johnson. Rinpoche asked him if he could take a photo,
and then they chatted about Tibet. So far, so good. When Rinpoche
noticed that the train was at his stop, however, he got off in a hurry
and left his laptop behind. This contained his lifes work: 900 pages
on the history of Buddhism. The two books were nearly at a stage
where I could publish them, he told the Evening Standard. But I
have lost almost all of it. As a Buddhist, I will leave this body behind,
and theres no point in crying over it. At least he got a good selfie
with Johnson.
When Pascale Honoregoes surfingnear Adelaide, Australia, people stare.
Thats because the 51-year-old has been
paralysed for the past 20 years. But her
friend Tyron Swan had a good idea: if
he could somehow attach Honore to
his back, they could surf together. After
some experimentation, they found that
duct tape worked perfectly. The fact
that Im in a chair, which everybody sees
as a big challenge, [hasnt prevented
me from] doing something that some
able-bodied people may never do, Hon-
ore told Today.
The newcomer
Happy birthday!

Everything Arianna Huffington touches seems to turn
to gold. The Huffington Post, which she co-founded, has
won a Pulitzer Prize and is the second most popular
news website in the world. Huffington will be 64 years
old on 15 July and she is working as hard as ever.
She has been called the most upwardly mobile Greek
since Icarus. In 1969, Huffington began studying at Cam-
bridge after moving from Athens to the UK. Students
made fun of her Greek accent, but Huffington became
president of the universitys famous debating society.
She published an anti-feminist book, The Female
Woman, in 1973. In 1986, she married billionaire Michael
Huffington. They divorced after nine years. Although she
had been a conservative Republican, Arianna switched
her politics and ran for governor of California as an in-
dependent in 2003. She lost to Arnold Schwarzenegger,
but this failure led to the creation of The
Huffington Postin 2005.In 2011, she sold the site to AOL for
$315 million and continued to run it.
A unique feature of the online news-
paper is its blog: some 9,000 unpaid
bloggers write for Huffington.
I love getting people to write
things, she told The Guardian.
Huffingtons 14th book,
Thrive, was published earlier
this year and became a best-
seller. It is a call to find a better
work-life balance.

A DAY IN MY LIFE| Scotland
My name is Fielding Hope. Im 25, and Im themusic programmer at NiceNSleazy, an inde-pendent venue in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. Im
responsible for the gigs and club events there. I specializein music that I consider cutting edge, groundbreaking orcross-genre. Im mainly interested in artists who are ex-citing and adventurous and who are making somethingreally original.
I didnt choose this career. I graduated in film studies,but realized that music was my main passion. I fell intothis job through someone I know who recommended me
and Ive now been here for three years.On a typical day, I get up around 9 or 10 oclock,drink lots of coffee and read a few e-mails. Sometimes,I go for a swim. I get to NiceNSleazy at around 12 or1 p.m., as most people in the music industry arent ontheir e-mail until then. I usually start with diary work,which means answering enquiries from people who wantto hire the venue for gigs, club or art events.
I also spend time researching bands for eventsthat Iwill organize myself. I look at magazines, important musicwebsites and blogs, and use Facebook and witter to get
a sense of what is going on in the city. Tere are various
bits and bobsthat I have to do in the run-up to a show aswell. I promote it, and if a touring band is coming, thereare contracts to be made. Teres not a set structure to myjob. Its a constant flow of work, and I dont usually takea lunch break.
Booking a band at NiceNSleazy can work in vari-ous ways. Promoters or bands can book the venue andpromote the event themselves; but there are also eventsfor which Im the promoter. In these cases, I either getin touch with a band through research, or a band gets intouch with me. A lot of agents also message me saying:We have these artists touring. And if I find them in-teresting, we agree on a fee for them. Generally, Im theone who books the support acts: I feel connected to theunderground music scene in Scotland and have enoughknowledge and contacts to book the right bands.

bits and bobsThe British expression bits and bobs (also bits and
pieces) means small things or tasks of different types.
The exact origin of the phrase is not known, but some
people think it comes from words used to refer to British
coins. The expression odds and ends is used in the same
way. For example: Could you please clear your bits and
bobs / odds and ends from the kitchen table? Which of
the following sentences uses the expression correctly?
a) Can you call my bits and bobs to ask if I can stay home
today?
b) I have so many bits and bobs to do, but I dont know
where to start.
DundeeDundee, Scotlands fourth-largest city, lies on the east
coast of the country near St Andrews, which is famous for
the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Dundee has a populationof about 160,000 and prides itself on its three Js: jute, jam
and journalism. The first refers to the 19th-century trade
in a vegetable fibre used to make cloth. The second has to
do with the first commercially produced marmalade (see
Culture corner in Green Light 6/14), an industry started
in the late 18th century by Dundees own Janet Keiller. The
last J, journalism, comes from publisher D. C. Thomson &
Co., one of the citys main employers. Romance novelist
Rosamunde Pilcher, who is from Cornwall, has made
Dundee her permanent home.

One of the good things about my job is the high level
of creative control.I dont book bands based on theirmerit alone. If I dont think theyre interesting, its a wasteof time. I cant feel enthusiasm for the show if its notsomething I believe in. Im quite particular about makingsure the acts here will get people excited and will poten-tially pull a crowd.
I usually work until 8 p.m., but it can vary. I run myown events from the time the bands arrive at 4 to whenthey leave at 11.30 or midnight. Sometimes, I finish at6 p.m. and go back in later to see a show. I like seeingstuff in other places, too, as there are a lot of exciting livemusic venues in Glasgow. Im also a DJ at NiceNSleazyonce a month, as well as in other places in Glasgow likeDistill and Te 78, which is a vegan cafe in the West End.Otherwise, I see my girlfriend or friends, or I go to thecinema, which is a way to switch off.
In addition to my job at NiceNSleazy, I run inde-pendent events under the pseudonym of Cry Parrot. Ivebeen doing that for around seven years. Im also beingfunded by an arts foundation to produce the music pro-gramme for the Dundee Contemporary Arts centre. Imopen to doing more things Scotland-wide if the right op-portunity comes up.
fall into somethingIn the text, Fielding Hope says that he didnt choose his
career as a music programmer, but that he fell into the
job because someone he knew recommended him for the
position. The expression to fall into something means
that you start to do something quite by chance. It is a
neutral statement: if you like what you have fallen into,
you may stay with it and if you dont, you may stop. Try
using the expression in the following sentences.
a)I sort of ______ into acting. I used to be a salesman.
b)There wasnt a time when I didnt want to write fantasy
novels, so I couldnt say that I ____ into it.

BRITAIN Te 101st our de France beginson 5 July. Watched by millions, it is the biggest cyclingevent in the world. Te three-week competition has 21stages and a length of 3,656 kilometres. Tis years GrandDpart doesnt take place in Paris not even in France but in the northern English city of Leeds, West Yorkshire.
It is the 20th start outside France in the history ofthe race, but only the second ever in the UK. Te repu-tation of the tour has been badly damaged by evidence ofdrug-taking to improve performance. In the year that sawthe publication of Juliet Macurs expos Cycle of Lies: Te
TANZANIAClimate change has consequences for
millions of people around the world, especially those in coastal areas.
Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous island region of Tanzania, is no excep-
tion. Here, in the shallow blue waters of the Indian Ocean, seaweed
is grown for export. A major industry for Zanzibar since the 1990s,
seaweed farming employs more than 20,000 people across the island
group, most of them women.Seaweed, known asmwani in Swahili, is eaten as food and used in
medicine and cosmetics. Zanzibar was once the worlds third-largest
exporter of seaweed, but last year saw yields fall by nearly a third.
According to the BBC, rising sea temperatures are causing bacter ia to
multiply on the seaweed, which prevents it from growing.
Women are complaining that the seaweed is dying, one farmer
told the BBC. A lot of women have therefore left seaweed farming.
Scientists say that farming it in cooler, deeper water may provide an
answer. This has already been successful on the island of Pemba,
where farms now provide 80 per cent of Zanzibars seaweed exports.
Unfortunately, there is one particular problem with deep-water sea-
weed farms: the majority of Zanzibars women cannot swim.Fotos:Corbis;dpa/PictureAlliance;iStock

BRITAIN It can be hard to find the right career. Butjob satisfaction is often better than more money. That may be
why more young British people are deciding to become priests.In 2013, 113 trainees joined the Church of England, the
highest number in 20 years. The same has been happening in theRoman Catholic Church, with 63 young priests starting in England andWales in 2012 twice as many as in 2003. Todays trainees tend to beyounger, too. Youth and vitality are huge assets, a church workertold The Economist.
Its not an easy job: a church career means working more than 60hours a week, including weekends. The job pays only around 24,000(29,000) a year, and church attendance is falling. However, a recentsurvey showed that members of the clergy are happier in their workthan people in any other profession.

WHATS HOT
NEW ZEALAND Why do people roll their own cigarettes?Te New Zealand Heraldsays that some think its cheaper than buying
factory-made smokes. Many are of the opinion, too, that self-rolled cig-arettes are less harmful to their health. An expert in New Zealand is nowcampaigning against this perception and recommending that the govern-ment ban the sale of loose tobacco.
Professor Richard Edwards, head of public health at the Universityof Otago, says that roll-your-own cigarettes are more dangerous thanstandard cigarettes because of chemical additives. He says in New Zea-land, the concentration of additives is higher in loose tobacco at about18 per cent, compared with 0.5 per cent for factory-made cigarettes.
Given that roll-your-own is more dangerous than factory-manufacturedcigarettes, why do we allow them at all? Why not just get rid of them?Edwards told the press. Nearly 40 per cent of smokers in New Zealandroll their own cigarettes, a rate considered to be extremely high comparedto other parts of the world.
UNITED STATES Some states have all the luck:California and Florida are popular for their sunny beaches, while Col-
orado and Alaska have phenomenal mountains. Hawaii has it all. But
Kansas, background to the musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz, is
renowned for being flat.
Years ago, the scientific humor magazine Annals of Improbable
Research published a study declaring Kansas to be flatter than a
pancake. While the report made people laugh, it also inspired geog-
raphers at the University of Kansas to challenge the findings. Using
special algorithms, they found that parts of Kansas really are com-
pletely flat but the state is not the nations flattest. Six others are
flatter: Delaware, Minnesota, Louisiana, North Dakota, Illinois, and the
flattest of the flat, Florida.Fotos:iStock;Stockbyte
The flattest of them all?
Dont rollyour own
For those who think this is a frivolous study: [it] is important
because it really does affect peoples perceptions, Professor Jerome
Dobson told The Atlantic. People dont apply for jobs here because
they think its flat and boring.

Fake dogsBRITAIN Owning a dog is a
big responsibility: these animals
need human interaction and have to
be exercised. A dog costs money, too:
those trips to the vet can be quite
expensive.
Dog ownership has its positive as-
pects, however. Dogs are mans best
friend, and they help us to spend
more time outdoors. Their tendency
to bark when strangers approach is
also a plus for peoples personal secu-
rity. For those who want the security
without the responsibility, though, a
UK company now offers an alterna-
tive: the barking dog alarm.
For 39.99, you can install this
battery-operated alarm wherever
you like. It uses radar technology to
detect movement even through
walls and doors. Once activated, it
produces the sound of a vicious,
barking German shepherd.

Britain Today | COLIN BEAVEN
Why are
there so many
unwanted
ornaments?

Colin Beaven is a freelance writer wholives and works in Southampton on the southcoast of England.
Of course, it leaves less room ingardens for plants, small animalsand, most importantly, gnomes. Itseven been suggested that changinggardens into drives has helped makeflooding worse in recent years: therain cant sink into the ground so eas-ily, so it runs away and makes riverswhere there really shouldnt be any.
Another thing you find at thedump is old videos. Nobody wantsthem. You even get Disney films not recent ones, like Planes or Cars,but you might find a classic. Perhaps20,000 Leagues under the Seawouldgive us a taste of things to come.
Where do you go for the idealfamily holiday? For many,it would mean a trip acrossthe Atlantic. Dont all parents wantto take their kids to Disney World?
Te flights, of course, are longand expensive and they dont domuch to stop climate change. Whygo to Disney World if we melt somuch ice from the poles to get therethat Floridas flooded when we arrive?
If only Elsa, the icy princess fromthe Disney film Frozen, could refreezeour rising oceans. Tat would bequite some happy ending, even forDisney. Right now, though, perhapsDonald Duck should start teachingMickey Mouse how to swim.
Te Disney resort near Paris is amuch nearer option, of course, buteven that isnt cheap. What we reallyneed is an Anglodisney, somethinglocal we can visit without it costingthe earth and ruining the planet.Fortunately, we have one, but Imnot sure that people realize this. Teyprobably dont even notice it whenthey go there.
Youll find it at the dump, theplace to which we take our rubbishor recycling material when we havemore than fits in the bins that the
council comes and empties. Dumpisnt an official name; the councilcalls it the Household Waste Re-cycling Centre. Dump is a morepractical word for it. It has contain-ers for paper, metal, wood and so on,but also lots of old garden ornaments:plastic gnomes, very small windmillsand miniature castles.
Te containers go when theyrefull, but the ornaments stay. Ourdump now has so many it looks
more and more like thewitchspalace
in Narnia: full of dwarves and ani-mals that have been turned to stoneand are waiting for the lion Aslan tocome and bring them back to life.
Such a large collection is just ask-ing to be recycled as a low-cost themepark, one where children could bephotographed next to their favouritesecond-hand gnome.
Why are so many ornaments un-wanted? I suppose people leave thembehind when they sell their homes,and new owners throw them away.So its nice that staff at the dumpdont want to see them without ahome. o see gnomes in that situa-tion would be very sad.
Tere may be a more ominousexplanation. Te British governmenthas recently confirmed that if youhave a front garden, people can payyou money to park there. You donteven need permission from the localcouncil. Tis can be especially inter-esting for those who live near airportswhere space in car parks is limited.
Te British love turning front gar-dens into parking spaces so that theydont have to park their car on theroad. Now, we can even earn moneyif we let other people use our drivewhile theyre away visiting Disney.
Um Disney-Figuren zu bewundern, muss man nicht unbedingt nachFlorida oder Paris reisen. Ein Ausflug zum Wertstoffhof gengt.

The Nags Head, in the Oxfordshire town of Abing-don, stands on a 15th-century bridge over theTames. Recently, the pub was closed for more thana year. It was a sad welcome for visitors arriving at a town
famous for its brewingtradition. Abingdons fa-mous Morland Breweryhad also gone, closed in2000.
oday, however, thethirsty drinker walkinginto Te Nags Headcan order a pint of tra-ditional, amber-colouredbitter called AbingdonBridge, brewed lessthan a mile away at the
Loose Cannon brewery. Te pub was reopened in 2011by Sri Lankan-born Dushan Salwathura. Abingdons newbrewery had been opened just a year earlier in 2010. Du-shan is a great believer in local products, and most of hiscask-conditioned beer, or real ale, as it is also called, isfrom Oxfordshire and the neighbouring counties.
o experience such a beer-drinkers paradise was, fordecades, unthinkable. At the start of the 20th century,there were around 6,000 British brewers, but by the early1970s, only seven big national companies and 88 inde-pendent brewers were still in business. Since 2002, how-ever, there has been an explosion of new breweries. Tenumber is now around 1,100 the highest for 70 years.
In the years of decline, it was often hard to findone that made beers with flavour and character. From1974, though, enthusiasts in search of traditional beerfrom the few pubs that treated its beer with respect
had the help of theGood Beer Guide
, published byCAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale.At the Cross Inn in Maesteg, SouthWales, another Good Beer Guidepub
and CAMRA regional pub of theyear 2013, publicans David andGillian Morgan didnt want simply
to serve traditional cask beer; they wished to make it aswell. Te Cerddin Brewery was set up and now suppliesseasonal and celebration beers to the Cross Inn and beerfestivals. Te Morgans have no plans to expand. Werehappy doing what were doing, says David Morgan.Teir business is of a local nature, but that hasnt stoppedthem winning national prizes: their Cascade Bitter wona bronze medal from SIBA, the Society of IndependentBrewers, at the Ludlow Food Festival in 2013.
SIBA was formed in 1980 by 20 of the surviving andnewly established brewers in the UK, who were deter-mined to make a stand against the big national brewers.Alongside CAMRA, they lobbied the government for afairer tax system for the industry. According to SIBAsmost recent figures, it now has more than 650 members.
Te big breakthrough for SIBA and CAMRA came in2002, when, after many years of campaigning, they finallygot what they wanted from the government a changein the tax system. Small Breweries Relief, or SBR,meant the small breweries paid much less to the govern-ment than the big national brewers. As David Morgan atCerddin Brewery put it, Te revenue is now on our side.
Like the Cerddin Brewery and Loose Cannon, Aber-deenshires BrewDog is one of the more than 200 SIBAmembers that started brewing only after the change to thetax system. BrewDog is also passionate about traditionalbeer-making methods.
Te brewery has ambitions that go far beyond the lo-cal pub, though. Now in its eighth year, it is Scotlandsbiggest independent brewery and has 16 bars, includ-ing three international ones in Stockholm, okyo andSo Paulo. According to James Watt, one of BrewDogsco-founders, We just wanted to make a great beer andget people as passionate about craft beer as we are.

Is the beer revolution just the result of a change in the tax laws,though? David Morgan of Cerddin agrees that this has been important, but hedoesnt believe it is the only reason for consumers enthusiasm for traditionalbeer. People are more conscious of what theyre eating and drinking. Teyvehad a few scares from the big food producers, and they like to know whats intheir food.
Te growth in popularity of farmers markets and the emphasis that manycafes, pubs and restaurants now put on locally sourced ingredients certainlysupport Morgans argument. So perhaps changes in consumer attitudes andtastes are also part of the success of the new brewers. Dushan Salwathura atTe Nags Head agrees: I want to serve great local food with great local beer.Tats what makes me happy and thats what makes my customers happy.
A CLOSER LOOK
CAMRA was formed in 1971 by a small group of drink-
ers upset by the poor choice and quality of British beer.
Over the past 40 years, CAMRA has grown to a size of
more than 160,000 members, and it has proved to be a
mighty voice for beer consumers demanding a quality
product. CAMRA has lobbied the government and the
brewing industry, while publicizing good brewing and
good pubs, such as The Nags Head, with awards and
entry into its annual Good Beer Guide.

The idea is a novel one: a village in Africa gets specialland-use rights. Next, the villagers contact a repu-table tourism company. A small hotel goes up, local
people are given jobs, and visit-ors start to arrive. Te touristsget to see the sights such asrare wild animals while thevillage, in desperate need of in-come, receives some of the ho-tels earnings. Add nature con-servation into the mix, and youhave an experiment in greentourism that is bringing a wel-come change to some commu-nities in rural Africa.
Such communal wildlife conservancies are becom-ing a way for people to thrive and animals to survive, es-pecially in Namibia: 79 such organizations now cover afifth of the country. Desert Rhino Camp in Damaralandin Namibias northwest is a good example. Tere, localpeople are working with a charity (Save the Rhino rust)and an award-winning ecotourism company (WildernessSafaris) to save the critically endangered black rhinoceros.
American native Jeff Muntifering is a conservation bi-ologist for the Minnesota Zoo who has been working asscience adviser for the Save the Rhino rust in Namibiafor more than a decade. Improving tourisms contributiontowards rhino conservation is one of his main focus areas.We met at Desert Rhino Camp to talk about finding thebalance between tourism and conservation. Fo

Spotlight:What is it that you do out here in the wilds of Namibia?Jeff Muntifering: Ive been in Namibia since 2000, and since 2002, spe-
cifically in this part of Namibia, which I now call home. Im based herefull-time, providing science leadership and technical assistance to Save theRhino rust.
Spotlight:What does the trust do?Muntifering: Ever since it was created in the early 1980s, the trust has had
two goals. It wasnt completely concerned with rhinos it was also aboutpeople. In fact, some of the early trackers who worked for the trust hadpreviously been poachers or had family members who poached. Tis wasone of the first examples of a conservation initiative that looked at poach-ers and local people in general as part of the solution to combatpoaching. Te poachers are the guys who know the bush, who know wherethe animals are: You couldnt find better people to provide the knowledgeand information that is needed to save the rhinos. Many people still definepoaching as local people hunting and killing animals to provide meat forthe pot. Te mission of the trust has always been to create opportunities forlocal people to see more value in keeping rhinos alive than dead.
Spotlight: Can you tell me about the rhinos in this area?Muntifering:We have black rhino here: the southwestern subspecies, Dic-
eros bicornis bicornis, 95 percent of which are found in Namibia. Teyrenot considered a unique subspecies, but the rhino here are known asdesert-adapted. Nowhere else on earth can you find rhinos living in a land-scape with less than 100 mm of rainfall a year and doing quite well.
Spotlight: Te much-publicized danger to them is poaching for the rhinohorn trade with Asia, correct?
Muntifering: Right, and its a really complex problem. Youre dealing with aculture and a tradition thats 2,000 to 5,000 years old. No ones really surewhen people started using rhino horn in traditional Asian medicine, but itsa very old practice.Tese things dont change overnight. Efforts are beingmade to educate end users about rhino horn and the situation that rhinosare facing.
Spotlight: Ive read that rhino horn costs more than gold. But isnt the hornsimply made of keratin?
Muntifering:Yes, its essentially fingernail. According to Western medicine,it has no properties that could be of any use to people. But Asian medicinalpractices are very different from ours, so a lot of those arguments dontreally matter to traditional practitioners. Te reality is that, because of thedemand, Asia has a huge role to play in the future of rhinos. Tey can savethe worlds rhinoceros. Its up to them. On the other hand, I think that
lasting success needs to come from Africa as well. Local people should seethe value of rhino.

Spotlight: Is it true that there are only about 5,000 blackrhinoceros left?
Muntifering:Yes, and its one of the most catastroph-ic decline stories ever documented for a species: Morethan 97 percent of the worlds black rhino were wipedout between 1970 and 1990. Tey were reduced fromroughly 100,000 to 2,500, and it was almost entirely asa result of poaching. It makes you really angry, but wethink the work that has been done here is helping: TeNamibian government is supportive, and weve got agreat tourism industry.
Spotlight:Which connects to the trusts work with Des-ert Rhino Camp, right?
Muntifering: Ever since formal conservation started inthis area in the early 1980s, it has placed people andlocal communities at the center of the strategies toprotect and conserve the wildlife. Its about trying tobring back values that were lost through colonial prac-tices: People were deprived of land use, of the power tomake decisions, of traditional ways of benefiting, andeven traditional knowledge that they could share andcelebrate.
Te Namibian government deserves a lot of creditfor its willingness to share power by telling communi-ties, You can enter into a contract with a business, aprivate tour operator on your land, and we dont wantanything to do with it. Its your business. Its a bigmessage to local people that they are seen as an inte-gral part of the solution, which is to manage naturalresources in a more sustainable way in their way.
Spotlight:What was it like when the camp was new?Muntifering: It was an exciting time, because tourism
was just starting to pick up here in 2001 and 2002.In 2003, when Desert Rhino Camp was opened, Na-mibias government already had a rhino program.Teyd started a custodianship program in the 1990s:Te government was willing to move rhino onto pri-vate lands if commercial farmers would look after

them. People began to say, If youre doing this onprivate land, why couldnt you do this on communalland? At the same time, Namibias conservancy mod-el was beginning to take hold. Laws were developedto give ownership over land-use decisions and benefitrights back to local people. So there was this commu-nal institution that the government could go to as
with the commercial farmers and say, Were willingto move rhino back onto your land if you are willing tolook after them and help us. Its a cost-share approach.Many communities were hesitant at first, but quite alot of them saw tourism as a mechanism to providenew benefits and desperately needed income.
Spotlight:What if they had no experience with tourism?Muntifering:Tat was the wisdom of the local commu-
nities being able to see that they didnt have thatexperience, but that there were skilled tourism ope-rators who did. Te idea was to partner with tourismoperators and create a win-win situation. Desert Rhi-no Camp is the perfect example of an area that every-one knew was absolutely critical for these animals.Te neighboring conservancies were given the benefitrights or concession rights to this area, allow-ing them to lease out the rights to operate commercialtourism in the region. Tey knew Wilderness Safariswas a respected operator that had been in Namibia forquite a while. Save the Rhino rust was already mon-itoring rhinos in the area, but we didnt know muchabout tourism and hospitality. So it was a great match.
Spotlight:How did it work?Muntifering: Te early challenges were about how to
marry the two sides: Wilderness Safaris has a conser-vation focus, but theyre also a business. At the trust,were a bunch of guys who bumble around out in theboonies, tracking the rhinos and looking after them.So at first, we were just trying to understand the basics:how to keep the rhinos safe and observable so that wecan consistently find them, and then to make sure theguests can see them, too. Tat way, Wilderness Safa-ris had its business working, and benefits were flowingback to the communities.
Conservation here is not just about rhinos; its alsoabout culture. ourism is seen as a mechanism thatrepresents values important to people here. Its notonly about the money. Te local trackers have been pa-trolling and monitoring rhino for years, some for morethan 10 to 15 years. When they see that someone fromanother country has come all this way to see their rhi-no, it makes them proud of what they do. Guests aremarveling not just at these animals, but at the workthese guys are doing to protect the rhino. Plus, theyreusing their traditional knowledge, which is tracking.Tats a lost skill, and certainly worthy of recognition.

George Clooney stunned theworld in April with his choiceof a fiance. Amal Alamuddinis as gorgeous a woman as youd ex-pect to see by the side of a devastat-
ingly handsome Oscarwinner. But she is alsoa woman of substance:An international lawyertrained at Oxford andfluent in three languages,she has counseled KofiAnnan and representedJulian Assange. She isso far from the typicalHollywood girlfriendthat Clooney suddenlylooks smarter, deeper,and more sensitive thanwe had thought. And I
couldnt be more disappointed.Dont get me wrong. Unlike so
many other women, I never haddreams of marrying Clooney myself.But as a fan, I had a certain treasuredimage of him, which this marriage if it should actually happen has tragically destroyed.
You see, Clooney was a new kindof movie star when he came onto thescene in the mid-90s. He wasnt oneof the quirky characters who became
stars in the 1970s (Dustin Hoffman,Gene Hackman), or an action heroof the kind we liked in the 1980s(Arnold Schwarzenegger, SylvesterStallone). Of course, neither werethe smooth young men, such asBrad Pitt and om Cruise, who alsoclimbed the box-office rankings atthe start of the new century. Butthose stars shared my generationsquest for eternal youth. Even as heturned 50, Cruise still looked and
carried himself like a 28-year-old.
Clooney, though, was a grown-up, a man with a deep voice, a con-fident gaze, and a head of hair witha little bit of gray. He was more of-ten photographed in suits than in-shirts, and he looked so comfort-able in them that he quickly drewcomparisons to old-time stars likeCary Grant or Gary Cooper. Whenhe was 38 and playing an army officerin films like Tree Kings, or a grizzledsea captain in Te Perfect Storm, youprobably thought he was already 50.He made a lasting impression bytaking roles in serious movies likeSyriana, directing intelligent filmslike Good Night, and Good Luck, andgetting involved in humanitarianwork in Haiti and Darfur.
Yet he refused to settle down.Tough briefly married 25 yearsago, Clooney became famous for aprocession of lovely, but short-termgirlfriends. Some, like Rene Zell-weger, were stars in their own right.But most were waitresses or mod-els, and in recent years, he moved
through them Sarah, Elisabetta,Stacy with such regularity that Iwas convinced the relationships wereformed by contract deals with stricttwo-year expiration dates.
If you had a friend who exhib-ited this kind of behavior, you wouldprobably consider him unable or un-willing to form real connections. Butcrazily enough, it was what I likedbest about George Clooney. It madehim as complex as a character in agreat novel.
If I took any notice of his mostrecent girlfriend, it was to make amental note of their first public ap-pearance in the fall of 2013 and to set my watch for their inevi-table parting in mid-2015. But now,Clooney has upended all my expec-tations and destroyed my illusionsabout him. Maybe hes just anotherguy facing late middle age, hopingto find someone who can love himfor who he really is assuming thismarriage actually goes through, thatis. As I said, its a big if.
