Tim Ballard left his post as a special agent for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to found Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). Through this organization, Tim and his team plan undercover operations to rescue child sex trafficking victims around the world. To date, they have saved hundreds of children from horrific conditions, which Tim wasn’t able to do when bound by government restrictions. Take an inside look at O.U.R., and their mission to end modern day slavery, as you join Tim and his Special Forces team on a covert mission to Haiti where they bring a ring of sex traffickers who bribed their way out of jail to justice in Operation Toussaint.
Zimbabwe has one of Africa's great concentrations of prehistoric art. Scattered throughout the country are a multitude of painted and engraved rock art sites, the product of several societies in the past. Most were painted by San hunter-gatherers (foragers) who lived in this part of Southern Africa over many millennia. It is this, the Foragers' art, which is the prime focus of this copiously illustrated booklet which uses photographs taken at many rock art sites throughout the country. The art is no simple matter; it is not the product of idle minds, but it portrays the complex beliefs and social ceremonies of these now lost communities. We do not pretend to answer all questions and consider this booklet as an introduction to the art. We point to various approaches towards understanding the complex, and sometimes conflicting symbolism of the art. In this we are inspired by historic and contemporary Khoesan ethnography, observations on wild animal animal behaviour, and current regional academic literature on the fascinating rock art of Southern Africa. We seek to answer many of the basic questions which we are often asked about the age, technique and meaning of the art. We aim to encourage discussion and deeper appreciation of the art. We must try to understand the art from the perspectives of the people who made it - we must escape from dated and simplistic reductionism based on our own societies' beliefs, symbolism and ceremonies which are often clouded by contemporary concerns. Such an approach is undoubtedly difficult, but it is necessary. This booklet is a challenge to look again at the painted and engraved prehistoric images of Zimbabwe's diverse rock art. Hopefully it will result in a deeper appreciation of the art and encourage visitors to get to see these painted canvases. Through promoting a better understanding, we hope to contribute to its preservation and conservation for the appreciation of future generations.

The Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site, is often described as one of "Nature's greatest spectacles"; a must see escape in the heart of south central Africa. The waterfall continues to attract countless visitors from across the globe, fascinated both by the changing face of the mighty Zambezi River and the "Falls", as well as the diverse cultural and natural heritage of its setting. First brought to international attention in 1855 by the Scottish missionary and explorer, David Livingstone, the romance of the Victoria Falls remains as strong as ever. We provide a general background to the region's rich heritage. The Victoria Falls is described in its parts, and in relation to its wider setting, seeking to answer the many questions that are often asked by visitors - how, when and why. In addition to the mighty waterfall, the histories of the two adjacent cities are inseparable, both from the "Falls" and from each other. Livingstone and Victoria Falls may appear markedly different, but they share a complex heritage which extends back over thousands of years. Archaeology and traditional community associations link the two, while their colonial and post-colonial histories are inextricably intertwined. Livingstone, the older settlement, was once the administrative and commercial capital of what is now Zambia. It has many charming historical buildings and memorials. Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls, a more recent settlement, prides itself as being one of the region's main tourist hubs. Both sides of the Zambezi River possess their own unique character and a variety of tourism facilities. Any visit that considers only one element of the "Falls" misses out on the fascinating diversity of this unique African setting. Hopefully that this booklet will encourage visitors and residents to better appreciate this wider heritage; Victoria Falls is more than just falling water.
