1. Business: Farewell! There goes our farm in Zimbabwe
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= =
Zimbabwe's
ruling Zanu-PF party and President Robert Mugabe is set
to amend the constitution to nationalise all land, automatically
nullifying court petitions by thousands of white farmers
hoping to reclaim their confiscated property.
Many
of the farmers have refused to surrender their title deeds,
arguing they are still the rightful owners of the farms
from which they have been forcibly evicted by ruling party
militants since 2000. Some of them have won court battles,
but most of their applications are still pending in the
administrative court. To read the full report, go to our
NEWS

3. Business: Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi sold to an
Arab
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
THE
Norfolk
Hotel in Nairobi, which in colonial days was a favourite
watering hole of the notorious White Mischief set, including
Lord Delamere, has been acquired by Prince Alwaleed bin
Talal, the Saudi billionaire who owns London's Savoy.
The prince, who owns some of the world's most luxurious
hotels, including the George V in Paris, has acquired
five hotels and safari resorts in Kenya from Lonrho Africa,
the last vestige of Tiny Rowland's once sprawling empire,
through Kingdom Hotel Investments. The 100-year-old Norfolk
Hotel was a regular haunt of Hugh Cholmondeley, the third
Lord Delamere, who helped to establish Kenya's reputation
as a playground for privileged, decadent British expatriates.

Editor's Note: We hope that the British Pint of beer,
which we always enjoyed when visiting this hotel, will
remain on the bar list. For more details of this Hotel,
please visit our Delamere

8. Education: Churchill Speeches
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
A
number of highly coordinated online "rich content"
digital projects have come online in the past few years,
and a number of them are indicative of the far-reaching
possibilities of such endeavors.
One
such project is the Churchill Speech Interactive website
which is a special initiative in Web learning that features
a multi-media presentation of Winston Churchill's "Sinews
of Peace" speech delivered at Westminster College.
The speech is best known for introducing the famous phrase
"Iron Curtain", and users will find the complete
audio speech here, but enhanced entirely through the ability
to weave through a clickable interface that provides content
information about the broader historical context of world
events, organized around a number of key themes, such
as "Europe in Ruins", "The Atom Bomb"and
"Churchill and Europe". Overall, the site is
quite fascinating. Visit
this site.

9. Education: Enjoying British History
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
For
some, becoming more interested in history may be somewhat
of an uphill battle. Sometimes it may be due to preconceived
notions about the way the subject was presented when they
were young, and others may find the material a bit dry.
This website offered by the BBC presents a variety of
historical perspectives that are both engaging and informative,
and as such, the site is well worth a look.
The
various sections address such powerful themes as "Church
and State", "Victorian Britain", and "Conquest",
which affords visitors the opportunity to learn about
the nature of the Norman invasion in 1066. The "Local
History" section is quite helpful as it teaches visitors
how to explore their own communities through historical
clues, documents, and visual evidence. Each section contains
brief articles, activities, and quizzes that help flesh
out the material. Visit
this site by the BBC.
