Click here to Kill – The dark world of online murder markets (Link)

At the station, the police told Stern a story that could have been a plot from one of her books. They said that a credible threat had been made on her life through an assassination marketplace on the dark web, the unregulated stretch of the internet, not indexed by Google or other traditional search engines, that’s home to many forms of illicit activity. Her murder had apparently been ordered on a website called Camorra Hitmen, which advertised gun-for-hire services with the promise of keeping its clients anonymous.

What Your Eyes Can Tell You About Your Liver (Link)

An excess of blood sugar levels may cause diabetes hence resulting in the disturbance of vision. If the issue of the disturbed vision is not keenly taken care of, it may end up to be a grave problem i.e. leakage of blood vessels in the eyes.This can be treated by performing surgical procedures, but then again it would not be as good as a perfect vision but only a much-needed fix.

Quite simply this book is the single best book I have ever read. If you want your children to grow up with even a modicum of appreciation for our planet, then get this book and read it to them every night – again, and again, and again.

Support worth a Penny:

charity: Water

Scott Harrison, the founder of Charity: Water was a hedonistic nightclub promoter when he went to South America and realized he was “the most selfish, sycophantic and miserable human being.” He began volunteering as a photographer for a Christian aid group that performed surgeries in poor countries and saw how much impact people like him could have on the lives of the people he met. Two years later, he decided to start a charity to provide clean water to people in poor countries. But with no money, Harrison had to rely on his talent for promotion to begin raising money.

Several years later, Charity: Water ensures that every cent donated goes straight into projects in the field. It also shows its donors exactly what their money has achieved and uses social media to raise awareness. The charity is applauded for its accountability and transparency. To date, it has funded over 13,000 water projects.
