I recently ran a competition to name one of my lambs. Members of the public were invited to submit proposed names for this little lady (actually, not so little now) via local residents' Facebook sites. We boiled all the suggestions down to a shortlist of 3 which we announced at the Whickham Library Easter fair on 1st April. Click on the video to find out the 3 names and which one was chosen.

In an unprecedented move, the Miss World Organization (MWO) announced that the 71st Miss World pageant will take place in India, months after confirming that the United Arab Emirates would be the host country. MWO chairperson and CEO Julia Morley announced back in February that the upcoming pageant would be held in the United Arab Emirates. However, it has since shifted to India on Thursday, June 8, without citing the exact reason for the sudden change. 'The Miss World Organization is pleased to announce that India has been chosen as the host country for the highly anticipated 71st Miss World 2023 pageant.

Some of the thinnest materials known to mankind may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. Known as MXene and MBene compounds, these substances are only a few atoms thick, making them two-dimensional. Because of their large surface area, the materials have the potential to absorb carbon dioxide molecules from the atmosphere, which could help reduce the harmful effects of climate change by safely sequestering carbon dioxide.

"The Government must loosen tight restrictions on assemblies and associations to bring laws and practice into conformity with the national Constitution and international human rights law", said Clément Voule, Special Rapporteur on the right to assembly, in a statement at the end of a 10-day official visit to Algeria. He was there as the country weighs ongoing reforms to bring legislation into line with the 2020 Constitution and the aspirations of what are known as the "Hirak demonstrations", which saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets across Algeria's major cities to protest every week for more than a year between 2019 and 2020.

Thatched buildings are deeply connected to Japan's history and culture, yet few survive. However, a cluster of villages near Kyoto are keeping this ancient tradition alive. I arrived in Miyama in the dead of winter and under the cover of darkness. As I entered my accommodation for the night, a 160-year-old thatched-roof house called Hanabusa , I was struck by its warm appearance. The natural tones of the wooden fixtures and earthen floor were soothing, and I was immediately drawn to the rectangular hearth at the heart of the house where a cast iron pot was being heated over fiery embers.

If you take an object and set it out in the sun, it will begin to warm up. This is because it is absorbing energy from the sun's rays and converting that energy to heat. If you leave that object outside it will continue getting warmer, but only to a point. A sunbather lying on a beach won't catch fire, after all. As objects (or people) absorb energy (light from the sun), they also emit energy (infrared radiation, or heat). This is something you may have experienced while walking past a block wall on a summer afternoon and feeling heat emanating from it.

In the dynamic world of business, deals and contracts are the lifeblood of success. They are negotiated meticulously, with each party striving to secure the best terms for themselves. However, there are times when business people enter into contracts only to later realize that what seemed like a great bargain has turned into a less-than-ideal situation. In such cases, the temptation to seek changes in the contract terms can be strong. This phenomenon, often referred to as 'buyer's remorse' in the business world is both common and consequential.
