Barreleye Fish

"The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. The fish's tubular eyes are capped by bright green lenses. The eyes point upward (as shown here) when the fish is looking for food overhead. They point forward when the fish is feeding. The two spots above the fish's mouth are olfactory organs called nares, which are analogous to human nostrils. Image: © 2004 MBARI"

upheld

"Society is, always has been and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an elite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a wilful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses."

--Richard K. Morgan, "An Interview with Richard Morgan" by Saxon Bullock

my buddy

"My Buddy"
Jim Davis
1945- American

I have a buddy.
My buddy's a toad.
He's kind of muddy,
He's flat on the road.
But, he is my buddy,
My buddy to stay.
'Til he's peeled up
And sailed away.

Capucine's Library in Mongolia through Edurelief

"With hundreds (literally) of blogs, and even national newspapers covering Capucine's story it's easy to see that people are completely taken by her. Don't believe us? Read this story by the National Post or simply look at the results in Google, Twitter, or Vimeo.

"Anne (Capucine's mother) and Capucine have decided to put her talents and fame to good use by helping children in Mongolia receive a better education. They have created a series of t-shirts, buttons, magnets, and postcards (coming) featuring the amazing world of Capucine. All the proceeds from these sales go to benefit 'Capucine's Library,' an idea we dreamt up with Anne where donations and sales from her merchandise would go towards one specific project reaching several hundred children in Mongolia. She's even made a special video especially for her project. We will track her progress and provide photos, films, and the results of her project. If you want to support Capucine and her library you can order from the links above or make a dedicated donation. In less than two months, Capucine has already raised over $2,000 for her library."

really hideous

“I went to Ulan Bator in Mongolia. They brought us to the police round-up centre where they collect all the feral children who live in the heating tunnels under in the streets, because it's so cold. The centre is like a sort of dog pound. It's really hideous and they collect them all up in these old vans and bring them in. It's like something out of Oliver Twist. I don't know how the children survive the winter -- not enough clothing, covered in dirt. As we arrived a new vanload came in, and they looked so terrified. It was really, really upsetting. I had no idea it was going to feel quite like that.”

--Lauren Child, The Times
