Stichting Taurus, the Dutch preservationist group leading the project, is hoping a reborn aurochs could help restore the European countryside to a more natural state. To that end, the group would eventually like to replace the domesticated cattle that currently graze in Holland's nature reserves with the recreated wild cattle. "The aurochs was part of an ecosystem," says Henri Kerkdijk, manager of the project. "If you want to recreate the flora of the ecosystem, you also have to recreate the fauna." The idea came to Kerkdijk during a trip to Africa, where he was struck by the abundance...
Speaking to my friends back home, I sense a certain frustration and discontentment with the higher education system in India.

I was surrounded by dozens of students; all I could hear was incessant typing, the clicking of pens, and on occasion, the creak of some...
...clears trees and works in construction, giving him the flexibility to surf whenever the titanic swells roll in. But when he takes off on a wave, he says, "I'm not thinking about the money or the contest. It's about you and the ocean. It could be the end of your life, and that's what gives the moment its purity...
