united-nations: A warm welcome to the new UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Kristin Davis! The actress and philanthropist started her journey with the UN Refugee Agency three years ago by travelling to Northern Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, meeting South Sudanese refugees and hearing their stories. Moved by refugee accounts, Davis wrote about her trip. “Despite losing so much, despite having their lives re-set to zero, they still want to achieve – for their families, for their community, for their country. It seems to me that the very least that each one of us can give to refugees across the world – but particularly those in our own schools, in our own communities, in our own countries – is the promise of honouring these words: ‘You are welcome here. You are safe now. We are here to help you.” Read more about her appointment as Goodwill Ambassador: http://bit.ly/2oNkFeZ ?: UNHCR / Paul Wu World News

historical-nonfiction: High in the Andes Mountains, at the Khonkho Wankane ceremonial center near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, archaeologists have found evidence of what they believe is a “defleshing” ritual. Yup, you read that right. In one of the unlooted ceremonial rooms were hundreds of bits of human bone from at least 25 different people, each bit of bone coated in white plaster. Interestingly the isotope analysis of the bones indicated they were not locals. Archaeologists also found calcium oxide aka quicklime which becomes a corrosive liquid when mixed with water and heated. Perfect for getting flesh off bones. The researchers hypothesize that pilgrims to the site would bring remains of their loved ones. Here the bones would get the remaining flesh removed, and preserved, so that the pilgrims could keep them as relics. It was a way to honor and remember those who had passed. World News
