A thirteen year-old eagle huntress

Most children, Asher Svidensky says, are a little intimidated by golden eagles. Kazakh boys in western Mongolia start learning how to use the huge birds to hunt for foxes and hares at the age of 13, when the eagles sit heavily on their undeveloped arms. Svidensky, a photographer and travel writer, shot five boys learning the skill as well as the girl, Ashol-Pan.

It used to be a cement factory, sure, but now this sprawling structure is the incredible home of architect Ricardo Bofill. He discovered The Cement Factory in 1973 and it was completely abandoned (and partially in ruins). It couldn’t have looked like much, but Ricardo saw its true potential.

This year Uganda signed off on a draconian and degrading anti-gay bill which was later echoed in Nigeria, two men accused of homosexuality were put on trial in Zambia and in Russia homophobia flared and festered against a backdrop of the Winter Olympics. At Amnesty we believe love is a human right. We are campaigning and fundraising hard to help improve the rights of LGBTI people all across the world from Uganda to Ukraine.

Our new fundraising campaign asks people to remember us as they get married – including the same-sex couples in England and Wales, and the many others around the world who now enjoy this amazing right. But whether you are getting married this year or are not, we would love it if you joined with us to stand up for people around the world who can't.

How @twitter made our new film #Lot13 - MeatBingo

How did it get made? Simple – Twitter made it. There’s two types of technological democracy at work here. Firstly, DSLRs – cheap cameras like the Canon 600D have made it possible for really quite nice looking films to be made by amateurs and edited at home on a basic computer. But the real democracy lies with Twitter – I can’t afford to fund films or indeed fully promote them via festivals. The best examples of street art in 2012 (48 pictures. Leo Buscaglia on Education, Industrialized Conformity, and How Stereotypes and Labels Limit Love. By Maria Popova “Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.” In the winter of 1969, shortly after a young woman he considered one of his brightest and most promising students committed suicide, Leo Buscaglia decided to deal with the flurry of confusion by starting an experimental class at the University of Southern California where he taught, exploring the most essential elements of existence — “life, living, sex, growth, responsibility, death, hope, the future.”
