LEBANON: BEIRUT: LEBANESE MAN OPENS SANCTUARY FOR CHEETAHS
Arabic/Nat
A Lebanese man has turned his home into a cheetah sanctuary
As the world's growing human population continues to steal habitat from fragile, endangered species, one big cat enthusiast has taken matters into his own hands -- in a most unlikely place.
50-year-old Assad El-Khoury is making the most of his home in Beirut, sharing the space with five leopards.
The very thought of cheetahs can bring fear to the hearts of those wary of these wild carnivores.
But at the home of Assad El-Khoury, five cheetahs have been welcomed as domestic pets -- and so far at least, they're fitting well into this unusual role.
El-Khoury, who is involved in Djibouti's gold and diamond trade, brought the animals to Lebanon after falling for their charms while on assignment.
His first purchase, eight years ago, was a cheetah he's named Fahda.
Fahda proved such a worthy household pet, that he brought home another, Sadam, two years later.
He became deeply attached to the animals, and, concerned for the plight of the species, he decided to take on three more.
He says there are just 4000 left in the wild.
He's not married, so his five lithe friends have become his de-facto family.
El-Khoury says, at first, his neighbours complained about the animals, but they soon warmed to them and now bring their children to visit almost every day.
He says they've never deliberately hurt him or any visitors, though he has had the occasional accident while feeding them.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
At the moment I am living in Djibouti in Africa, but I visit Lebanon regularly to take care of my cheetahs. At the beginning I found two cheetahs -- Fahda and Sadam. I brought them to Beirut, but I faced some problems at Beirut Airport to get them in, and today as you see they are living here very peacefully. They never hurt me, though if it happened it would be by accident, especially when I'm feeding them .

The five cats eat 6-to-8 kilograms of fresh meat every day.
Under Lebanese law, El-Khoury is allowed to keep the animals at home, so long as they are safely contained away from the public.
His well-fenced garden has so far proved more than adequate.

Bsous Silk Museum Lebanon
History
The structure was originally built by the Fayad family, and operated as a silk factory between 1901 and 1954.In 1990, for a short time, the factory and the grounds were occupied by the Syrian army. It was restored by its owners, George and Alexandra Asseily, with the help of Jean-Louis Mange, to serve as a museum.The museum opened in 2000 and highlights the 1,500-year-old history of silk production in Lebanon, which ended when the last silk mill closed in the 1970s.
Thierry Huau and Francoise Le Noble Predine from Paris, played a major role in the redevelopment of the gardens to the building. Le Noble brought wild silk from Madagascar and together with Mona Sader Issa helped to establish a MED, the Association of Memory and Development. Students of the Lycée Agricole et Horticole of Saint Germain en Laye in France and the Association have been responsible for many ecological projects in the village of Bsous and the pine forests around Beirut. Architect Jacques Abou Khaled, under the management of Sami Feghali were responsible for the redesign of the building into a museum.

About Beirut: (Arabic: بيروت, Bayrūt) is the capital and largest city of Lebanon with a population ranging from some 1 million to over 2 million as of 2007. Located on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's coastline with the Mediterranean sea, it serves as the country's largest and main seaport, and also forms the Beirut Metropolitan Area, which consists of the city and its suburbs. The first mention of this metropolis is found in the ancient Egyptian Tell el Amarna letters, dating to the 15th century BC, and the city has been continuously inhabited since.
Beirut holds Lebanon's seat of government, and plays a central role in the Lebanese economy with its city centre, Hamra, Verdun, and Ashrafieh-based corporate firms and banks. The city is the focal point of the region's cultural life, renowned for its press, theatres, cultural activities, and nightlife. After the destructive Lebanese civil war, Beirut underwent major reconstruction,[1][2][3] and the redesigned historic city centre, marina, pubs and nightlife districts have once again rendered it a tourist attraction. Beirut was named the top place to visit in 2009 by The New York Times.[4] It was also listed as one of the ten liveliest cities in the world by Lonely Planet in 2009.[5]
Beyrouth (بيروت) est la capitale du Liban et la ville la plus importante du pays. Elle compte environ 1 200 000 habitants et l'agglomération urbaine plus de 2 millions d'habitants (2007). La ville est un centre financier, un port de commerce et un centre culturel d'une importance majeure à l'est de la Méditerranée et au Proche-Orient. Elle est située entre l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Europe, ce qui lui donne une place stratégique dans les échanges mondiaux.(wikipedia)
About the blue mosque:
The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque is a Sunni mosque located in Martyrs' Square in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. It was built between 2002 and 2007 by the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was buried beside it. It was inaugurated by his son Saad Hariri on October 17, 2008.According to the architect, Azmi Fakhuri, the blue-domed mosque has an Ottoman inspiration, copying the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul. (Wikipedia)
The Christmas tree, also known as a Yule tree, is a decorated evergreen coniferous tree, real or artificial, and a tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas. The tradition of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas started in Livonia and Germany in the 16th century.[2][3] The Christmas tree is traditionally brought into the home and decorated with Christmas lights (originally candles), ornaments, garlands, tinsel, and candy canes during the days around Christmas. An angel or star is placed at the top of the tree, representing the host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity.The origin of the Christmas tree is obscured by uncertainties of oral histories of pre-literate European and Asian cultures. For example, according to Christian lore[citation needed], the Christmas tree is associated with St. Boniface and the German town of Geismar. Sometime in Boniface's lifetime (c. 672-754), according to this tale, he cut down the tree of Thor in order to disprove the legitimacy of the Norse gods to the local German tribe. It then describes how Boniface saw a fir tree growing in the roots of the old oak.
The custom of erecting a Christmas Tree can be historically traced to 15th century Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) and 16th century Northern Germany. According to the first documented uses of a Christmas tree in Estonia, in 1441, 1442, and 1514 the Brotherhood of Blackheads erected a tree for the holidays in their brotherhood house in Reval (now Tallinn). At the last night of the celebrations leading up to the holidays, the tree was taken to the Town Hall Square where the members of the brotherhood danced around it.[4] In 1584, the pastor and chronicler Balthasar Russow wrote of an established tradition of setting up a decorated spruce at the market square where the young men went with a flock of maidens and women, first sang and danced there and then set the tree aflame.[2] In that period, the guilds started erecting Christmas trees in front of their guildhalls: Ingeborg Weber-Kellermann (Marburg professor of European ethnology) found a Bremen guild chronicle of 1570 which reports how a small tree was decorated with apples, nuts, dates, pretzels and paper flowers and erected in the guild-house, for the benefit of the guild members' children, who collected the dainties on Christmas Day.(Wikipedia)
