Wales

In the deep woods of Wales on a Saturday night, the body of Mrs Leanne Smiths, was found floating on the surface of the river.

A knife smothered in Mrs…

On Tuesday, September 15, 2015, I attended the book discussion on Purple Threads.

It was evident that Dr. Jeanine Leane was proud of her heritage and culture. The book discussion produced a positive outcome.…

outnumbered by the British troops. The revolution was not a success and in order to warn off the Irish from attempting another rebellion, the English shot the leaders and the other helpers involved or were else sent to prison camps such as Frongoch in Wales. The Irish felt they had to place the blame on someone for the Easter rising and set about placing the blame on Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein were not a very popular party but as more Irish civilians discovered the execution of the 1916 leaders,…

The number of children and young people that are criminalised and put into prison have risen.

People can also find them in orange trees getting food as well. Though people would probably find them mostly on wattle leaves, hence their name. Diet…

In Australian the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute and surgeons at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney have made a quite remarkable breakthrough in heart surgery. It would seem that in the week just gone they have successfully transplanted hearts that had stopped beating. This is without doubt a ground-breaking a world first that could well herald a global change to the way organs are donated and used, because up to now those transplant surgeons have only been able to use still-beating…
