It was the moment documentary film-maker Sean Langan believed he was about to die.
After being held captive on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border by a group allied to the Taliban for three months, he was travelling to the place where, he had been told, he would finally be released.
The driver pulled over in the darkness of early morning for what his captors said was a toilet stop.
As a door opened, Langan could see, in the side mirror, one of the men accompanying him walking around the car and removing a pistol from the waistband of his trousers.

C4 pays £150,000 to free kidnapped film maker from terror camp
Wow! Film maker Sean Langan had been kidnapped in a border region of Pakistan by criminals linked to the Taliban.
I’m glad he made it out of there alive and in relative good health, I’ve watched his documentaries and I admire his courage in going to dangerous places most reporters wouldn’t set foot in, just so people like me can be a little more informed….

The Great White Tiger Myth – Vox
I didn’t know this about white Tigers:
There is no such species found in nature. There is, in fact, a dormant white gene found in nature. However, this gene is a double-recessive allele, meaning that for the white characteristic to become prominent, repeated and continuous inbreeding must occur. As this does not happen in nature, the only way to produce one of the majestic white tigers you may see at a Siegfried and Roy show is through forced continual inbreeding in captivity. Sadly, this causes a vast array of defects including cleft palette, still birth, mental retardation, scoliosis, and immune deficiency. All white tigers are cross-eyed, as the gene that causes the absence of the orange pigment also causes each optic nerve to be connected to the wrong side of the brain. This makes them perfect for magicians and circus animal tamers, because their genetic deficiencies make them more dependent upon their trainers.
Not really worth all that cruel inbreeding just for the sake of of a shitty ‘magic act‘.
