A film about an absolutely tragic situation. The clips shown on the site are heartbreaking, just imagine what life is like for the poor children who are being kidnapped. This looks like it will be a very sad but powerful movie, but the filmmakers are in need of donations to continue production.

Raging against "Mommywood"
For the first 23 years of my life, I was a celebrity gossip junkie.
Growing up, there was always some kind of celebrity-focused reading material floating around my household, though it was a progression from publications such as Vanity Fair (a magazine I continue to respect and enjoy) and People (which was respectable in that it occasionally featured non-celebrities on the front cover) to gossip...

Reading fiction 'improves empathy', study finds →
“I think the reason fiction but not non-fiction has the effect of improving empathy is because fiction is primarily about selves interacting with other selves in the social world,” said Oatley. “The subject matter of fiction is constantly about why she did this, or if that’s the case what should he do now, and so on. With fiction we enter into a world in which this way of...

Too often, people blame the unsatisfactory and unhappy conditions of their lives on everything except their own decisions. On god, on friends, on bosses or romantic partners, everyone but themselves. They always have some reason for not looking inward and discovering what has led them to their present circumstances, which is sad because that is the only real way to change and find happiness. This...
