Thulani started working at the Johannesburg Animal Eye Hospital in August 2015 and at that time, he didn't know we were a specialist practice, having some knowledge in the veterinary field. "I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work here and learn so much. The staff here are all so friendly and I am enjoying being the kennel man and assisting where I can.""I am a happy person and my daughter is my greatest motivation in life. I like to stay active and fit by going to the gym, but veggies are not part of my healthy lifestyle!!"I'm reading the silmarillion, the hobbit, the fellowship of the ring, the two towers and the return of the king for the first time. And i've got a question about glorfindel.

Recently i finished the silmarillion book and then went straight to the hobbit, and now i'm in the last pages of the fellowship of the ring. Glorfindel and the balrog he fought during the fall of gondolin on idril's secret path, both died in a duel; falling to their death. Then in the fellowship of the ring another(?) glorfindel aids the hobbits and aragorn to cross the bruinen. It seems odd that there would've been two glorfindels. I haven't read the two towers nor the return of the king yet! I can't find anything on how they are connected, if it's the same glorfindel from the elder days or not, as from what i've read so far. Is it explained somehow in the next two books (if that's the case, no spoilers please), in tolkiens answer to a letter, or not at all?The "Heart on the platform" party of Poetry Times gathers the public both equally in Latvia and overseas.

On September 9th at 7:00 pm, it will be 12 yrs due to the fact the start of the Poetry Days celebration "Coronary heart on the platform" at the Tukuma teach station.
At initially it was Tukums, then various other cities in Latvia joined, then Iceland, Norway, The us, Australia and even Japan.
This calendar year, the campaign will consider place in at least 30 locations in Latvia and 14 other international locations all-around the planet, and is committed to peace and Ukraine.
"Kultūrzīme" spoke with the writer of the campaign idea and one of the organizers, the author GUNA ROZI. Originally, Guna was the major organizer, but as the campaign grew, Latvian coordinator Ieva Jurga from Tukum, diaspora curator Lelde Vikmane from France and lots of many others arrived to assist.
- It really is amazing how the countryside has spread and grown above the yrs - throughout cities, towns, even continents...
Guna Roze: "We study poetry at the same time: text of electricity are more efficient when spoken alongside one another."

G. Rose: - He actually shocked me way too. In 2011, we asked Tukuma: How to bring people to Poetry Times activities? Even far more: how to get them to examine poems by themselves...
We assumed we necessary an casual a person, we understood that the common mix no for a longer time will work - microphone, room, phase, poet, applause... This is how the shape came to us - folks gathered at Tukuma educate station read through what they want, read through jointly.
For the to start with time the readings took place in the waiting around home and we were not numerous. Apparently, even the very first time youthful people came and even those people who arrived to purchase tickets or had just arrived joined
