Jumping into the icy Atlantic is a good way to switch off, you're completely at one with the elements and your mind and body are focused on staying afloat and not freezing. Similarly fishing requires you to concentrate on one task – the catch. There are many leisure fishing boats dotted around our coast from Portavogie to Portrush that will provide you with rods and bait for a fish catching expedition. Last Friday night, after an exceptionally busy week, my brother and I headed off in the Causeway Lass boat, based in Portrush harbour, with mackerel in mind.

PIC IS OPTIONAL: Hard to predict: Voters can go against trends and vote for the candidate that pollsters deem likely to lose. -- Filepic/The Star D ominic Lau Hoe Chai might be the most clueless and incompetent president of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia. Still, as the president of Gerakan, a component party of the Opposition Perikatan Nasional coalition, he should at least be accorded some respect. To shoo him away from a campaign rally by his own partner – PAS Islamist party – is indeed  humiliating.

Cancer immunotherapy drugs called PD-1 inhibitors are widely used to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer, but many patients either don't respond or develop resistance to them. A new small-molecule drug candidate being tested in an early-stage clinical trial aims to improve patient responses to immunotherapy. Now scientists have shown, in a study published today in Nature , that the small molecule works through two different mechanisms to slow tumor growth and increase survival in lab animals.

I am always looking for an excuse to revisit Arkansas' Delta bottomlands. When my girlfriend, Dalene Ketcher, asked me if I knew a place where we could meet up with her son for Memorial Day halfway between Fort Smith and Jackson, Miss., I said, "Big Woods." "You don't even want to look at a map to see if there is somewhere else we should meet?" she asked. I thought it was a no-brainer. Her son, Aaron, had been working for the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the past month, helping the capital city area recover from the March tornadoes.

Parents famously go to great lengths to give their kids the best start in life-the right school district, piano lessons, orthodontics. Fruit flies are no different, even if setting their progeny up for success is more basic: If you're a fly, finding the right spot to lay your eggs-one where they'll be safe from spiders and starvation-is one of the most important life decisions you will ever make. Now, a new study published in Nature has shed light on how fruit flies mull their options while deciding where to lay their eggs-findings that could build a foundation for understanding how humans make educated and strategic decisions.

Warren Buffett said people should not be panicked about the banking industry or the safety of U.S. bank deposits, despite the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc said that while more banks 'will go bust,' the industry's recent problems do not resemble those that helped trigger the 2008 global financial crisis. 'People shouldn't be worried about losing their money and their deposits they have in an American bank, but the message has gotten very confused,' Buffett, 92, said on CNBC.
