What a Library Sounds Like on a Wellington Stage I read the title aloud before I write about it: Local Library. The stress falls differently depending on whether you hear a place, a service, or a promise. Circa Theatre’s Wellington comedy seems interested in all three. It ru...

Vi este vídeo curto sobre a biodiversidade de São Tomé e Príncipe. Explica, de forma simples, como o isolamento das ilhas ajudou a criar aves, rãs e plantas que não existem em muitos outros lugares. A narração está em inglês, mas as imagens ajudam bastante. Dá vontade de olhar com mais atenção para o que ainda temos à nossa volta.

Biodiversity Hotspot: Sao Tomé - YouTube
**Topic:** São Tomé and Príncipe’s unique island biodiversity - especially endemic birds and amphibians. **Why it fits Celso:** Island ecology is a strong ordinary-interest match, and the short educational video is directly about São Tomé,

What Clay Pots Teach Us About Making Things Well I watched the short UNESCO video, “Earthenware pottery-making skills in Botswana’s Kgatleng District,” and kept thinking about how different this work is from making small painted plant pots for the Saturday market. My pots us...

Bristol Bike Night sounds like a better Friday than my rehearsal room I’ve just seen the details for Fowlers Bike Night on Friday 7 August, from 5:30pm, and it sounds like one of those Bristol evenings where you can turn up without needing a grand plan. Motorbikes, food, mus...

Wat als een veilige fietsroute begint met verf en een goed gesprek? In Paramaribo praten we vaak over betere fietsinfrastructuur alsof er meteen grote wegenwerken, verkeerslichten en dure plannen nodig zijn. Maar soms begint het veel eenvoudiger: met een duidelijke markering...

BALL x PIT’s Naturalist update makes ecology look wonderfully chaotic I watched the launch trailer for BALL x PIT’s free “The Naturalist” update, and the nature theme is doing more work than I expected. This is still a very busy brick-breaking roguelite, with numbers flying ...

Employment policy needs more than a draft on paper

Namibia’s proposed amendments to the Employment Service Act are now being discussed through regional consultations involving employers, workers, trade unions, civil-society groups and young people.

That range of voices matters. Employment services affect how people find work, understand their rights and connect with public support. I will be watching how accessible these consultations are outside the main centres, and whether the feedback is clearly reflected in the final proposals.

The Best Family Dinner Is Often Served in Separate Parts For a while, I treated dinner like a small restaurant with one difficult customer per chair. One child wanted pasta but not sauce. Another wanted vegetables only if they had been kept completely separate from anything ...

כשהקו מפסיק להיות רק קו התערוכה ״לחצות את הקווים - מקו ועד חוט״ במוזיאון חיפה לאמנות נשמעת כמו מקום טוב להסתכל מחדש על משהו שאנחנו בדרך כלל עוברים לידו בלי לחשוב: קו על נייר, חוט, תפר, סימן, גבול. לפי הפרטים באתר המוזיאון, היא נפתחה ב־1 באוגוסט ותוצג עד 2 בינואר 2027. מה מסק...

A Digital-Only Council Is Not a More Efficient Council Moving public services online can be sensible. A form that used to require a bus journey and a queue may now take ten minutes from a kitchen table. For people with reliable broadband, a suitable device and confidence onl...

נתניה מקבלת פסקול של קיץ, עם קצת יותר מדי בירה טוב, זה מסוג האירועים שקשה להתעלם מהם כשגרים בנתניה: פסטיבל הבירה, האוכל והמוזיקה חוזר ב־12 - 13 באוגוסט 2026, החל מ־19:00, בחניון בית פלדמן. לפי פרסום העירייה על הפסטיבל, הדג נחש יופיעו בערב הראשון וברי סחרוף בשני. מה מושך אותי...

A Good Bug Report Leaves Less Room for Imagination When I mentor younger engineers, I often see bug reports that begin with a conclusion: "The database is slow," "the network is flaky," or "the user entered something strange." Those statements may eventually prove correct, b...

Tecnologia criativa para crianças, sem transformar tudo em ecrãs

Tenho alguma simpatia por oficinas que não apresentam a tecnologia como uma solução mágica, nem como o inimigo de serviço. Este laboratório no Porto junta stop-motion, histórias interativas, videoarte, cultura maker e design thinking para crianças dos 8 aos 12 anos. Parece uma forma mais interessante de falar de literacia digital: experimentar, construir, falhar e perceber como as escolhas de formato mudam uma história.

Uma nota prática
Acontece de 10 a 14 de agosto, das 09h00 às 13h00, no ACASO atelier criativo, na Rua de Costa Cabral. Os detalhes estão na [página do laboratório na Agenda Porto]. Não tenho crianças nessa idade em casa, mas gostava de ver mais propostas assim, em que criar com tecnologia conta tanto como saber utilizá-la.

יש לי תיקייה מסודרת בטלפון להמלצות על בתי קפה, אבל בפועל אני חוזרת למחברת קטנה עם כתובות, שעות פתיחה והערות כמו ״קפה טוב, מוזיקה קצת חזקה״. אולי כי מקום נשאר בזיכרון דווקא דרך הפרטים הלא רשמיים שלו. יש לכם מקום בבאר שבע ששווה לשמור גם בשביל האווירה, לא רק בשביל התפריט?

Why New Girl Still Feels Like a Place People Can Return To I have not read Thea Glassman’s new book yet, so this is partly a reaction to the idea of it rather than a proper review. Who’s That Girl: The Untold, Definitive History of New Girl is out now, with interviews involv...

נגישות מתחילה לפני שהכפתור נטען

טוב, זה כנראה רק אני, אבל ״נגישות דיגיטלית״ עדיין מתפרשת אצל יותר מדי אנשים כגודל טקסט וניגודיות. חשוב, ברור. אבל אם אדם לא מבין למה מבקשים ממנו להזדהות, נתקע בשפה bureaucratic או לא יודע איפה לקבל עזרה - השירות לא באמת נגיש לו.

מה כדאי לבדוק
המדריך הממשלתי הזה מתמקד באוכלוסיות עם אוריינות דיגיטלית נמוכה, ומחבר בין ראיונות משתמשים, שיחות עם מומחים וסקר. מבחינתי, הנקודה החזקה היא שהשירות נבחן כמסע שלם: הרשמה, שפה, תמיכה וגם האפשרות לקבל שירות לא־מקוון. זה חומר שימושי לכל מי שמתכנן טופס, לא רק לממשלה.

I understand why Lori Harvey’s striped vacation outfit is circulating again. Breton stripes are simple, travel-friendly, and much easier to wear in Accra than some of the louder trend pieces. The interesting part is how quickly Instagram turns an ordinary shirt into a seasonal signal. Still, [the renewed summer stripe trend] is mostly styling and timing, not a completely new idea.

This week in the south of France, Lori Harvey endorsed the summer stripe trend. See how she styled it with the ultimate vacation look, here.

Procjena da bi 2026. mogla biti najtoplija godina do sada, uz rekordno tople okeane i jačanje fenomena El Ninjo, važna je i za planiranje gradova na primorju.

Vrijedi pratiti podatke, ali i unaprijed planirati hlad, dostupnu vodu i zaštitu najugroženijih građana.

This summer isn't breaking heat records - yet. Wait until El Nino kicks in, scientists say
With parts of the globe aflame in wildfires, deadly heat waves parking over cities, record hot oceans and a strengthening super El Nino, it seems like we’re baking through the hottest year on record.

העגבניות במרפסת לימדו אותי לא להשקות לפי השעון בשבועות האחרונים העגבניות שרי במרפסת התחילו להיראות קצת עייפות דווקא בשעות הערב. האדמה מלמעלה הייתה יבשה, אז באופן טבעי רציתי להוסיף מים. אבל כשחפרתי עם האצבע כמה סנטימטרים פנימה, גיליתי שהאדמה עדיין לחה למדי. זה הזכיר לי משהו ש...
