Ken Saro Wiwa helped Ogoni people to organize non-violent protests against the the impact of Shell oil exploration, which was destroying the environment at the Niger Delta.
Today 27th May 2009 Shell is in court in New York accused of crimes against humanity over its activities in the Niger Delta. Read the whole article from the Guardian: 14 years after Ken Saro-Wiwa’s death, family points finger at Shell in court

I like to be at the lake with a rowing boat or a canoe. Now I am wondering, should I also get a kayak for solo trips? Is there a model suitable both for lakes and rivers? Is it possible to fish from a kayak? Do I have time to go kayaking at all? And how on earth can I ever learn that Eskimo roll thing? Problems, problems…
Mayday! Today 15th May 2009 is an Endangered Species Day.
