The iconic Tasmanian marsupial is at serious risk of extinction from the highly contagious devil facial tumour disease (DFTD). Devil Ark's ambitious breeding program might be the key to its survival. Located at an altitude of 1,350 metres in the Barrington Tops, Devil Ark provides the perfect breeding environment for devils. The Tasmanian-like vegetation and cool, wet and snowy conditions means the devils feel right at home! But it is a battle against time! Genetic diversity is rapidly diminishing in Tasmania, so at Devil Ark, they are racing to breed large numbers of devils to preserve the species. There are currently more than 120 devils at the Ark and the goal is to have 360 devils at Devil Ark by 2016.
Devil Ark relies on community support and donations to give hope to the Tasmanian devil. Right now, Devil Ark urgently needs to feed and house its next generation of babies.' -- Devil ArkPublished on May 13, 2013 by Adam Cox

■ 100 Days of Gitmo Hunger Strike : US no closer to Gitmo shutdown. It's been exactly one hundred days since detainees at Guantanamo Bay camp started their hunger strike. The official number of inmates refusing food has been increasing on an almost daily basis - and has reached at least one hundred. Around thirty hunger-strikers are being subjected to force-feeding - a controversial tactic condemned by the UN and the international medical community as inhumane. And all those numbers are only likely to grow. Because what started as a strike against mistreatment has turned into a battle against indefinite detention and Washington's broken promises to close the prison at the center of America's War on Terror.

NOTHING TODAY
My partner basically has a very common musical taste. This song -- because it's so liked by it fans and so well in the pop music world, and so often sung in all places, on all occasions, as when changing clothes, driving a car, waiting for a meal in the restaurant, filling the registration, in line at the checkout counter at the supermarket, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the office corridor, at Hangout -- has the impression it's not hard and easy to grasp. A song like this is not me.
"Being easy to achieve is not the nature of yourself," he said. I did not fully understand what the intent behind his words. I don't care. We already have a baby of our relationship for more than seven years, but why does he still find time to express his love to me like a thrilling first love? Why does he make me feel as if I am a virgin and the most beautiful woman for him? This song really makes me less confident. Dahling, you're ugly.
