Children's Bell Tower in Bodega Bay
The Children's Bell Tower in Bodega Bay. It was created in honor of Nicholas Green, a 7 year old boy who was killed during a burglary attempt while his family vacationed in Italy. His parents chose to donate Nicholas' organs, thus changing the lives of 7 people and their families, as well as the country of Italy, and then the whole world through their generous act of love.

The Bell Tower of Bodega Bay
Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #262
Exploring the quaint seaside Northern California towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay, noteworthy as locations for Alfred Hitchcock's iconic horror movie The Birds....a fact which is thoroughly milked by the town of Bodega. But there is another haunting attraction in Bodega Bay -- a bell tower dedicated to the memory of a young boy who tragically lost his life halfway around the world in Italy...but ended up saving many lives. The Italian people were so grateful to young Nicholas Green and his family, that they donated dozens of custom cast bells in his honor, which now ring out in the seaside mist in his memory.
Remember to check the organ donor box on your driver's license! You could save many lives!!!

A classic build-up for a classic thriller sequence. However, in this animated setting the main ingredients are missing -- there are no birds, no people, no dialogue. What happens with the scenery when a setting is altered in this way? Where does the tension go, and what atmosphere is left to echo through the lingering images?
Welcome Home, T-Birds! | SUU 2019 Bell Tower Tradition
Incoming first-year students take part in the bell tower tradition.
The Carter Carillon Bell Tower tradition happens during the annual student orientation, Thunder U. Freshman walk east under the bell tower, toward the sunrise, a symbol of the beginning of their educational experience at SUU. It is tradition to not walk underneath the bell tower again until graduation. Then in cap and gown, students walk west under the bell tower, toward the sunset, symbolic of their SUU education coming to an end.

ITALY: MURDERED AMERICAN BOY'S ORGANS SAVE SEVEN LIVES
Italian/Nat
The parents of an American boy whose organs saved seven lives after his murder in Sicily have returned there.
Reginald and Maggie Green were in Messina, Sicily to receive a special award from one of southern Italy's leading charities.
Amid emotional scenes, they were met by six of the recipients of their son's organs, the first time they have ever come together.
15 year-old Andrea Mongiardo remains hooked up to a machine that monitors his new heart - a heart that he received thanks to a little American boy murdered last October while on holiday with his parents in Southern Italy.
Andrea, the son of a supermarket cashier in Rome, was expected to live only a few months.
But then he got the news that he would receive the heart of 7-year-old Nicholas Green.
SOUNDBITE: (Italian)
Because I was sick I said let's try it and it went well.
SUPER CAPTION: Andrea Mongiardo, Organ Recipient.
Andrea was one of seven Italians who received organ transplants after Nicholas Green was shot.
Today (Saturday) Nicholas' parents returned from their home in Bodega Bay, California to meet with the transplant recipients and to receive a reward from the community.
14-year-old Annamaria di Ceglie comes from a poor farming family in southern Italy.
This morning, she and her father presented a picture of their local church to the Green parents and their daughter Eleanor.
Maria Pia Pedala was only expected to live two more days when she got the news that she would receive Nicholas' liver.
Today, she burst into tears as she gave heart necklaces to the Greens.
Silvia Ciampi- the young woman who got Nicholas' pancreas- made sure she had a chance to personally thank Reginald Green for his son's contribution.
But despite all the gratitude, the Green family found it difficult to return to the city where their son died.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
What is different of course is that this is the place where it all happened and I don't think I'd ever felt such bleakness as I did on the first day when I came here. And when Nicholas went into the hospital it seemed so senseless and there didn't seem to be any possible recompense to come from it. But as the two or three days went on the momentum built and this emotion came. So although he's irreparably lost to us at least some good has come out of it.
SUPER CAPTION: Reginald Green, Nicholas' Father.
It was on a dark night last October that masked gangsters tried to force the Green's car off the road and the opened fire.
The Greens sped away not realizing their son had been hit. Hours later they rushed Nicholas across the Straits of Messina aboard this ferry - to a hospital with a neuro-surgery department.
But it was too late. Nicholas died on October 2 1994 - and his parents made an immediate decision to donate his organs.
Messina's Bonino-Pulejo Foundation honored the Greens and handed out scholarships. Doctor's noted the stunning increase in organ donations since the Green's set an example for the country.
Andrea Mongiardo was unable to leave his hospital in Rome for the event but he wanted the Green family to know how Nicholas has changed his life.
SOUNDBITE: (Italian)
Now I can go home and play soccer. I can take part in athletic activities that I could not do before.
SUPER CAPTION: Andrea Mongiardo, Organ Recipient.
For him and the other recipients of Nicholas' organs, his death has meant a whole new lease on life - one that they are not likely to take for granted.

For Pacific Mole Crabs It's Dig or Die | Deep Look
Pacific mole crabs, also known as sand crabs, make their living just under the surface of the sand, where they're safe from breaking waves and hungry birds. Some very special physics help them dig with astonishing speed.

Among the surfers and beach-casting anglers, there’s a new visitor to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach shoreline.
Benjamin McInroe is there for only one reason -- to find Pacific mole crabs, a creature commonly known as “sand crabs” -- and the tiny animals whose burrowing causes millions of small bubbles to appear on the beach as the tide comes in and out.
McInroe is a graduate student from UC Berkeley studying biophysics. He wants to know what makes these little creatures so proficient at digging their way through the wet sand.
McInroe hopes that he can one day copy their techniques to build a new generation of digging robots.
-- What are Pacific Mole Crabs?
Pacific mole crabs, also known as sand crabs, are crustaceans, related to shrimp and lobsters. They have four pairs of legs and one pair of specialized legs in the front called uropods that look like paddles for digging in sand. Pacific mole crabs burrow through wet sand and stick their antennae out to catch bits of kelp and other debris kicked up by the breaking waves.
-- What makes those holes in the sand at the beach?
When the waves recede, mole crabs burrow down into the sand to keep from being exposed. They dig tail-first very quickly leaving holes in the wet sand. The holes bubble as water seeps into the holes and the air escapes.
-- What do birds eat in the wet beach sand?
Shore birds like seagulls rush down the beach as the waves recede to catch mole crabs that haven’t burrowed down quickly enough to escape. The birds typically run or fly away as the next wave breaks and rolls in.

In Memory of Nicholas Green & Ahmed Khatib
Two of the world's most famous organ donor fathers joined forces in Canada on a humanitarian mission to boost our low rates of organ & tissue donation and to launch important proposed Ontario Bill
Both men have traveled around the world for organ donation since their sons were killed but this was the first time they met. Their stories, which captured the world's imagination, show in the most dramatic way that, besides saving multiple lives, an organ donation can bring people together all over the world.
About Reg Green
One of the men is Reg Green, who lives in Los Angeles and whose seven-year-old son, Nicholas, was shot by masked men in southern Italy in an attempted robbery as the Green family drove along the main highway towards Sicily. Nicholas' organs and corneas went to seven Italians, four of them teenagers. Since then organ donation rates in Italy have quadrupled, so that thousands of people are alive who would have died. Maggie Green, the mother, when asked by a reporter, what she would tell the killers, replied When they see what they have done, I hope they will turn away from this kind of life.
Famed Italian TV host Maurizio Costanza, said Today we learned a lesson in civility.
About Ismail Khatib
The other father is Ismail Khatib, a Palestinian, whose 12-year-old son, Ahmed, was shot in 2005 by an Israeli soldier who thought he had a gun. It turned out to be a toy gun. The Khatib family donated the boy's organs to six Israelis, two (?) of them Jewish. Later Ismael opened the Ahmed Khatib Center for Peace in the Jenin refugee camp to provide children in the camp with an alternative to life on the streets.
On November 11 2011, Ismail left his 20 year old son Khald with George Marcello, and as he departed for home in Palestine, said please look after my son & have him spread the message of organ donations in Canada.
On Oct 4 2013, Khaled joined Reg Green in Vancouver carrying the Torch Of Life to encourage more organ donors and support the Stacey House
SCP-1461 House of the Worm | euclid | Church of the Broken God scp
SCP-1461 is an English manor (circa 1890) with attached sub-levels. It came to the Foundation's attention on November 1941, when the dwelling and its sub-level facilities vanished, then rematerialized after an eleven day period of absence. The surface portion of SCP-1461 is a two-level dwelling with twelve bedrooms, four baths, three studies, a main foyer/ballroom, a library, a kitchen, and a pantry-basement. Most of these rooms were converted into simple barracks prior to Foundation acquisition and are believed to have been dwellings for the cult. Site-6 Staff have reinforced the structure and use the available space to house monitoring rooms and security forces. No anomalous activity has ever originated from the manor itself.
