1. One Day's Wages. I can't believe I took so long to write about this. ODW is a fairly new non-profit started by Eugene Cho (pastor of Quest Church in Seattle) and family. It's purpose is to end extreme poverty and envisions doing this by having everyone donate one days worth of wages at least once a year (for example, on your birthday). For those of you that don't make much each day, like me, you may say that your money won't do much. But it will. Considering that a large portion of the global population lives on $2/day, your money will go far. For those that feel like it would be a huge sacrifice, it may be. Skip that trip to the mall or eat out a little less for a month and your budget can absorb it. You can find out more information about this amazing organization at their website. Also, congrats to ODW for making the New York Times!
2. Ukrainian Sand Art. The woman in this video uses sand art to depict the German invasion of Ukraine during World War II. It's kind of long, but worth it if you stick it out.
3. I've got nothing for this one. What rocked your socks off this past week?

#3: Your fun animal fact for the day: One particular type of fly that bothers cows is called the horn fly. You know they're horn flies because they point upside down when they're standing on the cow. Some that are in the middle of the back get confused since it's kinda flat up there, but the rest of them point down. And you know it's time to start fly control when there are 200 horn flies on the cow's back. How do you know there are 200? Well, you get out your binoculars, and you count them..."127, 128, 129...oh wait! They moved! 1...2...3..." Just kidding--you estimate! :)
