A campanha continua até ao dia 27 de Abril.

The Honourable Schoolboy

Campanha Bricomarché: Este é o resultado de 9 dias de recolha de alimentos. Parte do que aqui está foi deixado pelos nossos voluntários que se sentem frustrados por não conseguirem angariar nada. As pessoas passam e fazem de conta que somos invisíveis, alguns chegam a ser rudes e a tratar-nos mal  Um voluntário é alguém que deixou o conforto de casa para ir pedir por quem o não sabe fazer. Amigos, uma lata de patê custa 99 cêntimos! Ajudem-nos a fazer a diferença na vida de tantos animais sem dono. A campanha continua até ao dia 27 de Abril.

This Wily Gatecrasher at the White House Is a Red Fox - WSJ.com

This Wily Gatecrasher at the White House Is a Red Fox - WSJ.com:

This fox first invaded White House grounds during the government shutdown (remember that?) in October, wreaking havoc on Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden. He settled in when groundskeepers were furloughed, meaning that he has been running free for six months.
And, short of using deadly force, the WSJ reports that White House grounds officials have been trying everything to get him out including spending “hours plotting to lure him into the traps with rotting hunks of chicken, so they could relocate him some 3 miles south to a park along the Potomac River.”
God Bless. By the way, isn't the fox protected by some constitutional amendment? The 4th?? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution)

Um anel com diamante desenhado no céu É fácil olhar para o céu e ver coisas: nuvens que se assemelham a figuras ou estrelas que formam constelações. Na fotografia tirada pelo Very Large Telescope, no Chile, há uma nebulosa planetária circular, fruto da explosão de um antigo sol, e há uma estrela brilhante que se sobrepõe à circunferência criada pela nébula — mas o que sobressai é um anel com um diamante celeste. A imagem é divulgada nesta quarta-feira pelo Observatório Europeu do Sul (ESO, sigla em inglês). Ver mais em http://publico.pt/1631602
