Nothing says ‘cosy pub’ like an old labrador dozing beneath a wooden table, but when that dog is exceptionally flatulent, it certainly does change the atmosphere. Even little dogs can be problematic. A few weeks ago a friend and I met at just such a warm and welcoming hostelry. While we perused the menu, a lady appeared with one of those handbag sized dogs, which she popped down. It promptly made for the very centre of the room and I think you can guess what happened next. It may have been tiny,...
Climate shocks and conflict continue to deplete crop yields in Iraq, drive displacement in Syria, cause water stress in Libya, increase food insecurity in Yemen, and constrain resources in Gaza and the West Bank.

Does the body rule the mind or the mind rule the body? So sung Morrissey 40 years ago this year in the song ‘Still Ill’, taken from The Smith’s classic self-titled debut album. Morrissey isn’t, as I’m sure you know, a scientist, much less a professional working with families in conflict, yet his lyric touches on something that runs through new work created by Cyrenians Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution. This new work is designed to help: young people who want to boost their emotional...
Ann Bailey reflects on the goodwill of her neighbors and how much it enhances life in her rural area.
The river known today as the Adige, the second-longest in Italy, flows south and then east from the Alps to the Adriatic. As it travels around hills and through flatlands, the river meanders widely, sometimes nearly looping back on itself. The city of Verona took root and grew around one of these meanders more than 2,000 years ago and, around that time, not far from the banks, an infant was laid to rest in a humble grave. She did not go into the afterlife completely alone, however. Alongside her...
The Biden administration is proposing further expansion of no-take areas in the U.S. Pacific territories — and this has been heralded by some environmental groups as further progress in ocean protection, while the government of American Samoa, the fishing industry and fishery managers have generally opposed the expansion.
JACKSONVILLE – Let’s get to it Tony from Johns Creek, GA O, the Jags got a good return for moving back. However, I was mildly surprised that they took a wide receiver since that position is deep. Plus, there were a couple of good cornerbacks available at No. 23. I guess pass coverage is not the priority we thought it was. The Jaguars on Thursday selected Louisiana State University wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. with the No. 23 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, and they indeed got...
