		<description><![CDATA[Iranian cartoonist Kianoush Ramezani is among some 150 Iranian intellectuals, media workers, journalists, and bloggers who were forced to leave Iran following the postelection crackdown last year. According to Amnesty International, as many as 5,000 people were arrested in Iran following weeks of antigovernment demonstrations.

Ramezani is the founder of Iran's first Cartoonist Society and the president of the Cartoonist Society of Gilan. He spoke to RFE/RL correspondent Golnaz Esfandiari about why he fled his homeland and what it means to live in exile. <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/iranian-cartoonist-flees-unimaginable-conditions-reflects-on-life-in-exile">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the empathic approach to anger is not to transcend it, nor suppress it, nor express it all over people. Instead, the empathic approach helps you turn toward anger (and all of your emotions) and discover the gifts and the skills it brings you. That’s genius! <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/welcoming-your-emotional-genius">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The picture emerging from the research is deeply troubling, at least to anyone who values the depth, rather than just the velocity, of human thought. People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehend less than those who read traditional linear text. People who watch busy multimedia presentations remember less than those who take in information in a more sedate and focused manner. People who are continually distracted by emails, alerts and other messages understand less than those who are able to concentrate. And people who juggle many tasks are less creative and less productive than those who do one thing at a time. <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/does-the-internet-make-you-dumber">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been a vegetarian since I was 15, and it breaks my heart hearing stories of animal cruelty. One video I saw on the <a href="http://www.peta.org" target="blank">PETA</a> website stays with me to this day; I couldn't sleep for days after seeing it. If you've seen films like Food, Inc., or read Fast Food Nation, or any other books on the subject, it baffles me how one could continue to eat meat, or meat from industrial farming practices. <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/study-shows-vegans-are-more-empathetic-neurologically-speaking">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time ever, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) gave a documentary crew uncensored access to its field operations. Set in war-torn Congo and post-conflict Liberia, “Living in Emergency” interweaves the stories of four doctors as they struggle to provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions. Two volunteers are new recruits: a 26-year-old Australian doctor stranded in a remote bush clinic, and an American surgeon from Tennessee trying to cope under the load of emergency cases in a shattered capital city. <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/stories-of-doctors-without-borders">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Construction work on the City of Joy continues in Bukavu, with each day bringing progress. Almost all of the ten houses, the administration building, dining room, and class rooms now have a roof and the construction crew have begun laying the floors, putting in the ceilings, as well as the installation for electricity and water. The security wall around City of Joy is almost finished. V-Day’s Congo Director/Director of City of Joy Christine Schuler Deschryver has begun working with local carpenters to start the building of furniture - all of the beds, chairs, etc. will be made by local craftsmen. All of this has taken place amidst an incredibly heavy rainy season and a series of delays with the construction crew and material shortages due to the regional conflict taking place in Eastern Congo. Our Congo team has been 'moving mountains' each and every day to actualize our dream, and the City of Joy will soon be a reality! <a href="http://www.barenose.com/be_stumble/category/city-of-joy">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
