Photography can be a great revenue generator for ecotourism organizations. To learn more about Doug Adams, a tourism operator who has successfully diversified his business using photography check out my fall newsletter at http://www.kalahari-online.com/aut07.pdf

The experience he has gained can benefit many other organizations.

Boxing Day - Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_day

The celebration is traditional, dating back to the middle ages, and consisted of the practice of giving of gifts to employees, the poor, or to people in a lower social class. The name has numerous folk etymologies[3]; the Oxford English Dictionary attributes it to the Christmas box; the verb box meaning: "To give a Christmas-box (colloq.); whence boxing-day."

Are Newspapers Doomed? (Do We Care?): Newspapers & the Net Forum
http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2008/04 ... net-forum/
