The fight is on to raise £5,000 to save the sight and life of a spectacular eagle owl.
The eight-month-old Turkmenian Eagle Owl called Angel has developed congenital bilateral cataracts in both her eyes and the condition will only get worse as she gets older.
Now Karen Andriunas, owner of the Devon Bird of Prey Centre, says she needs to raise £5,000 for a life-saving operation for Angel.
Karen, who has over 20 years of experience of training and rearing birds, realised very early on that something wasn’t quite right. As Angel was living at home with Karen, as all of the imprints do to start with, she was monitored very closely. Karen noticed Angel wasn’t as responsive as she would have expected her to be and this continued as she grew. Angel was slow to explore her surroundings and was lacking the usual co-ordination skills.
Jim Carter, one of Europe’s top specialists in veterinary ophthalmology, diagnosed Angel’s condition.
Said Karen: “These birds have such amazing presence and personality and can live a long time in captivity. Angel has already captivated everyone that has met her and has formed very strong bonds with my team of handlers. She is currently at our Escot site, near Honiton, where she can be seen in all her glory.
“We are devastated by the diagnosis, but we have been reassured by Mr Carter that her eyesight can be restored if she has an operation to remove the cataracts and replace her lenses. Obviously such specialist procedures are costly so we are looking to raise £5,000 for her operation and ongoing veterinary care.”
Donations can be made by paypal to angelseyesfund@outlook.com or in person at either the Ipplepen or Escot sites. The centre is planning a special event, following Angel’s surgery, for all of
those who have donated to meet her in person and see first hand what the incredible surgery will mean for her.
For further information please contact Karen by email Karen@devonbirdofprey.co.uk or on 07801325070 or via website www.devonbirdofprey.co.uk

Study creates 'time travel' illusion

Virtual reality can be used to give the illusion of going "back in time", according to an exploratory study.

In this virtual world, subjects were able to reduce how many people a gunman killed, an event they had unknowingly been part of.
Going into "the past" increased the level of guilt the participants felt.
Writing in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, the team says that virtual time travel could help people overcome traumatic experiences.
Most interesting, the researchers add, was the emotional impact virtual time travel had on the participants.
"The more the participants felt the illusion, the greater the sense of their own morality," explained co-author Mel Slater of the ICREA (Catalan Research Institute) and University College London.
Mutable past In the virtual world, participants could walk, talk and move similar to how they would in real life, and previous studies have shown that people strongly associate with their virtual selves.
"In virtual reality, the brain's low level perceptual system does not distinguish between the virtual and the real world; the brain takes what it sees and hears in a surrounding environment as given," added Prof Slater.
"Therefore, if they had an experience with the illusion of time travel, there is implicit learning that the past is mutable, that is: 'my own past decisions don't matter because they're changeable'-."READ MORE

Swimming lesson for seal pup

Zoo keepers at Living Coasts in Torquay are teaching a tiny seal pup how to swim.
She had to be hand reared because her mother Grace was unable to produce milk. Now, keeper Libor Mach has taken to the water to give her swimming lessons.
But how do you teach a seal pup to swim? Living Coasts' Clare Rugg explained: "In the wild the mother would simply take them into the water and keep them afloat until they got the hang of it. So we have to do pretty much the same!
"She has a natural instinct but needs Libor, her surrogate mother, for confidence. She can't get in or out of the water by herself yet, she does doggy paddle and blows bubbles and every so often she gets a little nervous and heads back to the shore!"
Living Coasts, a registered charity, is auctioning the right to name the pup on eBay to raise money for conservation. You can bid by going to http://bit.ly/seal-pup. Bidding closes on 26th July.
Meanwhile, Sainsburys in Paignton are donating 300ml of double cream every day to help feed her. South American fur seal Grace gave birth early on the morning of Tuesday 3rd June. For more information go to www.livingcoasts.org.uk or ring 0844 474 3366.

HEDGEHOGS HELPED

Support small s

I like the idea of the school helping those with a need  of a boost in life. I too when I was at school was kept back a year by the headmistress, a girl also was but forgotten  name. For this I was behind at school and later when I went to senior school I was in remedial class for a while but this helped me as I won a award for my work. My opinion for what its worth is no one is stupid we all have a skill and all born equal. And that's why I am in  support for the small school.

Crass

Crass

The most politically influential band of the first wave of punk rock bands, as the second wave began, they stopped playing since they promised themselfs to stop in 1984. Crass was against government, organized religion, and all that good stuff, they pointed out problems in the punk scene itself, with their song Punk is Dead. Their most remembered song today is probably Banned From the Roxy

Without crass, anarchy wouldnt be a popular movent today, and you couldnt buy anarchy wristbands from the counter-revolutionaries (hot topic) while paying tax for them, which is the biggest condradiction of brainless mtv generation kids wearing the anarchy symbol, which most of them think means chaos and disorder, the misconception started by counter-revolutionaries themselfs, to make people sub-conciously believe that anarchy will result in chaos, and not work.

Amazing photos show baby seal entangled in litter before snorkeler removes it in first for Lundy Island

A YOUNG female grey seal amazed the community on Lundy Island by allowing a snorkeller to get close enough to remove a plastic ring it was entangled in.
Warden of the island Beccy MacDonald said this was the first time she can recall a seal allowing a person to remove an entanglement.
Lesley Harper of Seastyle Diving came across the seal while snorkelling on a recent visit on charter boat Jessica Hettie.
Lesley said: “The seal suddenly appeared with this plastic ring wrapped around it. Luckily I managed to coax it off and stuff it in my pocket. The seal was acting like it was a toy.”

Hemp fibres 'better than graphene'

The waste fibres from hemp crops can be transformed into high-performance energy storage devices, scientists say.

They "cooked" cannabis bark into carbon nanosheets and built supercapacitors "on a par with or better than graphene" - the industry gold standard.
Electric cars and power tools could harness this hemp technology, the US researchers say.
They presented their work at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco.
"People ask me: why hemp? I say, why not?" said Dr David Mitlin of Clarkson University, New York, who describes his device in the journal ACS Nano.
"We're making graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price - and we're doing it with waste.
"The hemp we use is perfectly legal to grow. It has no THC in it at all - so there's no overlap with any recreational activities."
Secret sauce In countries including China, Canada and the UK, hemp can be grown industrially for clothing and building materials.
But the leftover bast fibre - the inner bark - typically ends up as landREAD MORE
