So when I was there, the biggest thing that happened that year were that there were these 10 albino arowanas. As albinos were the ones that sold for the most money, historically. But they would appear on the market-- I don't know-- it was like a rare Vermeer coming to light.
And she wanted to be an engineer really badly, really wanted to be an engineer. So Albina moved to Lima and was pretty poor, so she moved into a really poor, dangerous area in the slums of Lima.
Now, Nikita Khrushchev was premier when John F. Kennedy was our president of the United States. Like Albina, they thought she was crazy, first in a class.
Bear Rainforest. It's the only place in the world where 1 out of every 10 black bears is born white. They're not albinos. They're not polar bears. They're actually a white bear known as the spirit bear, and revered by the First Nations who have lived in this landscape for thousands of years.
Now, Nikita Khrushchev was premier when John F. Kennedy was our president of the United States. That's Albina. And by the way, as an engineer, this is the three-legged trash pickup that goes up the curvy, small, narrow hills to the slums
And I'm happy to be there, which has been great. So my baby was diagnosed with ocular albinism this year, and we are still learning about his amazing capabilities.
This is a guy who used to have one nose hair and wind it around his head. Now he's got an albino ferret on his head, and we're just sitting around. The president may end up with roadkill on his head.
It's a loaded question. I was born with a genetic condition called albinism and, basically, albinism means that my body does not produce melanin, which is pigmentation.
And it was this crazy story about this Indonesian coal tycoon who was crazy about albinos. And he had a zoo in Borneo that was just albino animals. And so word that came to him of birth of an albino at one of these farms.
And he had a zoo in Borneo that was just albino animals. And so word that came to him of birth of an albino at one of these farms. And he traveled to the see it.
So I don't want to just talk about changemakers. I want to show you a three-minute clip about Albina Ruiz who is a Peruvian engineer who grew up in the jungles of the Amazon.
Now, Nikita Khrushchev was premier when John F. Kennedy was our president of the United States. So Isaac, Albina, Greg, they're all social enterprises.
There's also another way to use a focus on the family to reduce crime. The judge who presided over many of the Bogles' trials over four generations was named Albin Norblad. He was a crusty law-and-order Republican, who favored a lock them up and throw away the key approach.
They are unattractive in some way or should be considered different simply because of the way they were born or the things that they've experienced in their life. Yeah. If you look at albinism, my condition in popular culture and media, usually people with albinism are depicted as the villain or as some mythical, mystical creature that has all these different powers,
And I'm happy to be there, which has been great. Like suddenly, you're not Colleen who has albinism and a vision impairment.
So I tracked down the guy who had bred them. And it was this crazy story about this Indonesian coal tycoon who was crazy about albinos. And he had a zoo in Borneo that was just albino animals.
And then he started-- it was this long seven year period of breeding them, and then breeding the offspring with each other. And eventually, they bred these albinos. So the idea was that they were just going to sell them to celebrities and royalty-- one to each country.
But nobody could do it because they didn't fully know. So the judge who told me-- Well, this judge named Albin Norblad, he said that he'd had five families like the Bogles in his court, all of whom had more than 50 members in prison
But the arowana are, by far, the star attraction of this show. So when I was there, the biggest thing that happened that year were that there were these 10 albino arowanas. As albinos were the ones that sold for the most money, historically.
If you glow in the dark, come on down to the ark. I've got space for a mutant, green" man #3: Rabbit? NPR Host: Yes. Unbelievable as it may sound, it's true. Alba is an albino rabbit that, under regular light, just looks furry and cute, but turn on the black light-- Kac: So, this gives us a sense of the kinds of conversations, debates, discourses that have been generated around this work, which was part of my intention originally. And basically
are several kinds of lights, several kinds of proteins, they have to go together. So, it has to be a very specific frequency of blue for that particular protein. That's one thing. And for you to see, you need to do so through a yellow filter because you gotta block the blue light, otherwise you're gonna have, she's albino, so otherwise you're gonna have blue and white and that's what you're gonna see. You gotta block the blue and then you can see the green emission. And, of course, this is never mentioned. Ok, thanks.
