What could possibly lure someone away from a lucrative, prestigious, globe-trotting career in management consulting? Disillusioned by the prospect of spending years continuing to chase the bottom line, Kate Bezar decided to feed the starved creative side of her brain instead. Putting values before profit, she set out to create something that resonated with ordinary people. Dumbo feather, pass it on, is unique in the publishing world; the half-magazine, half-book features the stories of five unique individuals in their own words. Her story is proof that if you follow your gut, the money will follow.

Knitta, Please 20/03/2008

Al Gore can justify his jet-setting contribution to climate change, but the rest of us are faced with a moral dilemma.Thanks to An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore is the poster boy for fighting global warming. Yet the image we see again and again is Gore on a plane, criss-crossing the globe to spread his message.

People have looked at the stars for thousands of years, but only about 20 years ago did astronomers become interested in the stuff inbetween.
Reversing their focus on the sky, astronomers can see that dark patches in the Milky Way are really giant molecular clouds. These big blobs of gas can be many times the size of the sun. Eventually, these clouds fall in on themselves, the cool gas becomes hot and dense and a star is born.

By Kris HerbertIt started when she was just 10. Always on a weekend morning when her mother had gone to work. Hannah's father would take her into his room and force her to perform oral sex and intercourse. With a drawer full of sex toys, he carried out his kinky fantasies on his not-yet-pubescent daughter. He would brag to her about his infidelity with other women and how he forced Hannah's mother into threesomes.
