The first Living Seawall in Mosman has been officially opened at Ellery Park, near The Spit. The project has already begun providing much-needed habitats for marine organisms along the seawall below the Spit Bridge since its installation earlier this year. "This Living Seawall is playing a vital role in protecting our marine ecosystem and Council was delighted to support its installation and bring this project to life in Mosman," Mosman Mayor Carolyn Corrigan said. "Living Seawalls encourage species to thrive which improves foreshore water quality and so can also indirectly help enhance recreational activities including swimming, fishing and water sports in and around urban waterways so there is a benefit for humans and marine species alike.

In the crowded east Indian city of Kolkata, a small community of Hakka Chinese have been living quietly for more than a century now. When Janice Lee went on holiday to China, she found that she couldn't wait for it to end. "I couldn't speak the language, I didn't like the food and I felt very lost," she recalled. Not being able to fit into a foreign culture may not sound that strange – except that Lee is of Chinese origin herself. When she told me, "I felt at ease only when I finally got back", she was referring to her home in Kolkata.

Council will be spraying Sea Street Oval to control grass growth in drainage. This will take place on Friday 1 September, weather permitting. The spraying will take place outside of school hours so there is no disruption to school kids learning. The products being used are Concussion 540K Herbicide and Dicamba M Selective Herbicide, which will make sure the oval stays in top shape for everyone to enjoy. Unfortunately, this means the area will be closed to the public during the spraying. Council staff will be on site to oversee the process and signage will be in place to let you know when the spraying is happening.

By Nina Muslim KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- Jenny, a journalist who declined to be named for safety reasons, was never a heavy social media user.

'The harassment was quite overwhelming. We had a lot of netizens commenting on social media pages,' she said. 'There were death threats. People were doxxing us and putting our office address on Facebook and threatening to burn down the office, coming to kill us.

Autism is difficult to study and more difficult to treat because it is an individual condition lacking precise quantification. The development of mouse models of human mental disorders has proven a tractable approach to studying the molecular mechanisms, a new review argues and highlights the current state of the art in autism research. Whether or not the autism spectrum is a disorder to be treated or a disability to be accommodated is debated by experts. This, however, is symptomatic for the fact that it is a very individual condition that has many expressions as well as causes, with no quantitative evaluation system or objective, mechanized diagnostic method.
