Fitness Apps – Are They Helpful?
I wear a pedometer almost every day, to do my 10,000 steps, but use an app on my 'phone when I forget it, or the battery runs out. The only trouble is that, whereas I set my pedometer to the right step length so it's accurate, apps aren't ...

Jersey Devil: Duck, Dragon, Demon, Religious Politics, Unknown Beast, Bat or Owl?
Absolutely agree. It's the fault of dirty humans that we have such a problem with foxes, which I don't mind, and rats, which I do.

Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and Green Organic Panda Dung Tea of Sichuan Province in China

Avoiding Hurting Peoples' Feelings - A Dangerous Idea To Teach Children?

Curious Cymru: The Death Omens of Wales
You clearly survived your experience of Gwrach y Rhibyn. Thankfully.
Cwn Mamau seems to refer to the deities known by Romans as Matrones or by the Saxons as the mothers. They are an ancient version of the triple goddess. What is interesting is ...
