    White Water Active of Llangollen plan to rescue a pair of stranded Amazon pink river dolphins.
    29/03/2010

    Jim Jayes from White Water Active, Llangollen鈥檚 canoeing and rafting center are planning to rescue stranded Dolphins from the Amazon basin. They currently live in a heavily deforested and polluted areas of the Amazon where fish have been killed, leaving the dolphins to slowly starve. White Water Active are planning to bring a breeding couple back to Llangollen to live in the River Dee . Jim Jayes first came to hear about these intelligent animals after hearing reports of pink dolphins pushing people to the shore after their canoes had capsized. Jim said 鈥渢he Dee would provide the perfect habitat for these fresh water mammals. There is a ample supply of both salmon and trout as well as grayling to provide a food supply. They normally eat up to twenty kilo of fish a day and it estimated that the Dee can adequately supply this for each animal. The presence of the dolphin in the Dee around Llangollen will provide a incredible tourist attraction to Llangollen. It is hoped that they will breed and become a indigenous species of the Dee and maybe even spread to river throughout the UK. We will soon release more details of our rescue plans early next month鈥.



    We are looking for funding ideas to raise the money to bring them to Wales. If anybody can help or has ideas please contact Jim via White water Active鈥檚 Face Book.

    The Amazon river dolphin is a freshwater river dolphin endemic to the Orinoco, Amazon and Araguaia/Tocantins River systems of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. The largest of the river dolphins, this species is not to be confused with the Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), whose range overlaps that of the Amazon River Dolphin but is not a true river dolphin. Because they are unfused, the neck vertebrae of the Amazon river dolphin are able to turn 180 degrees. The pink dolphin lives in the freshwater of the Amazon River. This species looks like the grey dolphin, but individuals are bigger, and instead of a dorsal fin they have a hump on their back. Their tails are also bigger. The pink dolphin has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of the Nature due to pollution, over fishing, excessive boat trafficking and habitat loss. The brain of the river dolphin is 40% larger than a human brain.

    A close friend of mine had a double lung transplant a few years back since then she has become a choir teacher and helped many of the choir with everything from confidence issues to helping with gcses. She also started her charity "love life, give life". This charity helps those on transplant lists. She recently had a piece dedicated to her on channel 5 news. heres the address to the video on you tube its not great quality but it is the only one i could find. It would great if more people could here this story. Cheers

    Hi
    I just wanted to let you know about some very good news!
    There is currently a non-profit community group running called 'I Love Dunstbale'. If any of you don't know this town is a town which is thought of as not the most great place to live. Many complain about it and many tv shows have slated it. But when a number of people from diffrent carers got together and created a community group that would change how people saw the town. I am the Youth Ambassador for this group and we have many meetings to bring exciting new experiences to the town including parties, events and petitions. We help people to learn how to love their town and help todays youth to enjoy where they are growing up. Please check the website for more info. Thanks :)

    Barack Obama was blocked by White House officials from visiting the Sikh Golden Temple in India, over concerns it would strengthen the belief that he is a secret muslim. Haha. Its official, the most powerful country in the world is run by complete idoits.

    This is the story of a woman, Claire Rytina, whom i know and have done for several years and suffered from encephilitis from the herpes virus and fell into a coma for six months in 200. when she woke up she found that she couldnt remember anything in the period between the age of around twenty and the time she woke up in her forties. she now suffers from 'face blindness' and cannot recognise people including her own family and four children. she also struggles to make new memories of anything and has no sence of taste or smell as a result of her brain damage. However she was lucky enough to be involved in a study of memory and has been using a 'sencecam' that takes pictures at every sence of movement and worn around her neck. she then can look at the pictures later on and through this she has beenable to increase her memory and in the video on the last link her joy at being finaly able to recognise someone, her sister faye, merely from her memoroies thanks to the help from the sence cam. I decided to send this in to you to possibly be used on the show as she has today been able to gain the confidance in her ablities and memory to present her story in front of aroung 100 sixth form biology and psychology students in my school and done remarkably well.

    A lone young Belgian boy is waiting to salute the Canadian troops passing by who had been attending a memorial service. Such class from our Canadian troops - watch what they do for this little boy. The "Eyes Right" command is the biggest compliment troops on parade can pay and is reserved for dignitaries in reviewing stands. Every now and then something just makes you smile!!! PLEASE USE THIS FOR YOUR SHOW ITS A PERFECT NOTE TO THE REMEMBRENCE SERVICES ALL OVER WORLD

    Don't worry, this isn't something as wrong as that fat woman..with the huge stomach...doing something. That was just wrong, so wrong.

    This video will bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, mainly people who live near council estates but lots of them none the less. There is nothing sweeter than stupidity reaping it's own demise, especially when it's that special kind of idiocy. A chav with a sheer lack of intelligence.

    Hi Russell
    I know you've finished filming for series 7, so I hope you keep this in the bag for the next series. I found it today and had to register an account on this site so I could tell you about it. Nothing has melted my heart more - this one guy alone has made it his mission to keep people in his home town fed. I think everyone should know about it, and maybe take a lesson... in the joy of giving. thanks and keep up the good work. Bluefin, London

    OK, not good news, but I am sure you could work wonders with this story.

    Highlighting the fact that due to being in full time education a lenient sentence was given. Does this man truly deserve an education to continue...




    This could turn into a good news story :)
    The dog is ok now, so that is Good News :)
