Book excerpt: Sunny Franklin, a forty-three year old from Las Vegas, made a life changing decision to leave her traveling companions in Egypt and venture out on her own. She met two people in Cairo on her first day alone that would have a profound influence on her life. Sunny learned that Caroline and Howard were extremely wealthy people with busy lives and that they were much more than colleagues. That night Sunny had dinner with them and again breakfast the next morning. The instant friendship was solidified when Caroline invited Sunny to come join her at her farm near Kruger National Park, South Africa. This started an adventure for Sunny into the world of the rich and famous. After staying on Caroline's farm for days, Caroline took Sunny to Cape Town for six weeks of parties and galas and more social lunches than she had ever attend in her life. Experiencing the life of a socialite for some time, Sunny told Caroline that was time for her to move on. She thanked Caroline for her hospitality, but she knew it was time to be solo again. Caroline was upset, but it was nothing that a shopping trip couldn't cure. Three days later, Sunny, once again, found herself in the lap of luxury riding the Blue Train north to Pretoria Station near Johannesburg. It was her transition trip from pampering to having to carry a backpack while on safari. Howard gifted Sunny a new laptop. It was the latest and greatest with satellite capabilities to company the international cell phone he had already given her. Howard loved technology and Sunny reaped the benefits. She entered Botswana on her own with high hopes about her safari - seeing the exotic animals and breathtaking landscapes. She shopped in a women's co-op, she took a tour based on Alexander McCall Smith, Number One Ladies Detective Agency books and also visited a the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. Sunny was happy and lonely at the same time. With night after night of sexy dreams, Sunny was surprised that Africa woke up her spirit and her sexuality. Sunny met Jamie Bevins, a twenty-eight year old, cocky bush pilot from New Zealand, when he flew her into the bush at Gunn's Camp in the Okavango Delta. On the flight, she could smell Jamie's pheromones... her logic was lost and nothing was left but pure lust. Jamie entered into Sunny's dreams. A week later, Jamie came to Kubu Lodge on the Chobe River for dinner and sat down at Sunny's table. The instant chemistry they had for each other was culminated that night. That night of lust and passion change them and forged a love bond that couldn't be broken. They became inseparable adventurers. Sunny accompanied Jamie to New Zealand for his four-year skin cancer checkup. Jamie asked Sunny to marry him but before they could have a ceremony, they had many issues to resolve. On the one-month anniversary of their marriage, while having sex, Jamie discovered a lump in Sunny's. They were devastated when they received a diagnosis of breast cancer. Sunny went through three surgeries, was on drug therapy and took an antidepressant; slowly Sunny became a ghost of herself. Jamie had finished flight school and was a copilot from Sidney, Australia to Los Angles, California. Jamie felt disconnected to Sunny because he was off flying until one night he found her in the bathtub with a razor blade. They had had so little time together and Jamie was devastated at the thought of losing his love. Howard came to visit his friend Sunny and found that she was not well both mentally or physically. She was admitted to a hospital, which helped her physically, but the emotional scars of breast cancer took much longer to heal. Weeks passed and Sunny regained her health. Jamie took a job in Africa flying jets for Howard's company, Hanley International. This would allow him to be home with Sunny more. Sunny knew they would lead healthy, adventurous and lustful lives when they returned into the bush under African Skies.

Download or read book Open Skies for Africa written by Charles E Schlumberger and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, where poor roads, ports, and railways often constrain efficient transportation, air transport holds great potential as a lever for economic growth and development. Yet Africa has suffered several decades of inefficient air services. Uncompetitive flag carriers, set up by newly independent African states, offered primarily intercontinental flights, while the domestic air service market remained underdeveloped and underserved. The 1999 pan-African treaty on liberalization of access to air transport markets, the Yamoussoukro Decision, attempted to address these shortcomings. Yet a decade later, only partial liberalization has been achieved. 'Open Skies for Africa: Implementing the Yamoussoukro Decision' reviews progress made in carrying out the treaty and suggests ways in which the liberalization process can be encouraged. The book analyzes the completed and still-pending steps toward implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision, both on a pan-African level and within various regions. Special focus is given to the challenges posed by the poor aviation safety and security standards that exist in most African countries. Finally, the book measures the impact that certain policy steps of the Yamoussoukro Decision have had and evaluates the economic significance of air transportation and its full liberalization in Africa. The book concludes that the process of liberalizing African air services must continue, and provides policy recommendations for the way forward.

Download or read book Under the Sky of My Africa written by Catharine Theimer Nepomnyashchy and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging consideration of the nature and significance of Pushkin's African heritage Roughly in the year 1705, a young African boy, acquired from the seraglio of the Turkish sultan, was transported to Russia as a gift to Peter the Great. This child, later known as Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was to become Peter's godson and to live to a ripe old age, having attained the rank of general and the status of Russian nobility. More important, he was to become the great-grandfather of Russia's greatest national poet, Alexander Pushkin. It is the contention of the editors of this book, borne out by the essays in the collection, that Pushkin's African ancestry has played the role of a "wild card" of sorts as a formative element in Russian cultural mythology; and that the ways in which Gannibal's legacy has been included in or excluded from Pushkin's biography over the last two hundred years can serve as a shifting marker of Russia's self-definition. The first single volume in English on this rich topic, Under the Sky of My Africa addresses the wide variety of interests implicated in the question of Pushkin's blackness-race studies, politics, American studies, music, mythopoetic criticism, mainstream Pushkin studies. In essays that are by turns biographical, iconographical, cultural, and sociological in focus, the authors-representing a broad range of disciplines and perspectives-take us from the complex attitudes toward race in Russia during Pushkin's era to the surge of racism in late Soviet and post-Soviet contemporary Russia. In sum, Under the Sky of My Africa provides a wealth of basic material on the subject as well as a series of provocative readings and interpretations that will influence future considerations of Pushkin and race in Russian culture.
