Despite months of trying, I was no closer to my goal of bringing my daughter, Victoria, back home to live with me. She had been staying with her Aunt Rebecca for close to ten months, and I had neither the finances nor the mental stability to get her back. Sometimes, I wondered if I’d ever s...

As the Athenian fleet in the Aegean and the Hellespont gradually gained ground against the Spartan navy, things went badly for the oligarchic Four Hundred in Athens. Clearly the fleet was committed to democracy. The regime itself consisted of two factions, the hard-liners who wanted to kee...

Introduction Ah, there’s nothing quite like a relaxing trans-Atlantic flight — except when it turns into an emergency return due to a rogue bowel movement. Here’s the scoop on Delta Flight 194’s journey from Atlanta to Barcelona: picture yourself miles above the ground, si...

Editor’s note: As ever, this is an incomplete highlight reel of some of our current work. It goes without saying that none of this would be possible without our communities, partners, and collaborators. Thank you all for your trust in us and the collective work. We see our prototypes as...

Car ownership is on the rise in bicycle nations like Denmark and the Netherlands. In Denmark, car sales rise each year. This is largely due to prosperity and a strong economy. Money to spend on luxury items. Politicians in cities across the land — not least in Copenhagen — are fumblin...

I was sat on my sister’s couch, as had become the norm, when the call came. An average day of simply waiting for the minutes to grind by, dreaming of what could be, the plod of life with no real control or opportunities. The call was an unexpected and somewhat welcome interruption. On the othe...

Last time I lived in Edinburgh it was 1993. I moved there with a bunch of friends after university. As you might expect from a group of people who’d spent more time in the pub than in the lecture theatre, none of us had managed to get a proper graduate job. It was the middle of a recession ...

The sun is shining; the champagne flowing liberally: a couple hundred of Sydney’s most committed partiers gather in a sacred space to celebrate the dawn of another beautiful, warm spring Sunday: and, just maybe, the dawn of a brighter era for the community. The Bridge has long been an insti...

twas a sorry sight for the official bird of California and San Francisco: Ishi, the last known California quail in San Francisco, wandering near Golden Gate Park’s handball courts, crying out for company in 2017. Armed with new data that habitat restoration might support quail again,...

Itwas early September in South East England, when — for the first time in millennia — a wild baby Bison was born in the United Kingdom (UK). The calf, covered in light brown fur, was caught on camera jumping around the woodland to the surprise of everyone. After all, there were...

Trumpeter swans that migrate to Washington originate from forested regions of Alaska and Canada’s western Yukon and northern British Columbia for the winter. They are the heaviest living bird in North America, with wingspans that can exceed 10-feet. They breed in shallow ponds, lakes, wetlands...

I was in the car on my way to work. I just started my engine and plugged my phone in for music and navigation when I saw your messages. Or message. An emoji. A sad one. I already knew it was going to hurt. A part of my brain wanted to deny it still. I read the message that preceded it for confirm...

My birthday fell on a Wednesday — Mercury’s day. At the precise moment the transiting Sun returned to the degree, minute, and second of my natal Sun, Mercury was at the 29th degree of Scorpio. That is an anaretic degree, symbolizing significant importance in terms of extreme expression a...

ACanadian art museum site says the original Gä•sweñta’ exists today only in memory and reproduction. From what they say, one is left to speculate. Perhaps it is in the man cave of a Silicon Valley billionaire. Maybe it is in an oil lawyer’s priva...

I have a good number of Jungian books on my bookshelf. Each of these books came to me when I was in time of need. I am a mental health counselor occasionally now that I am well into retirement. Needless to say, like pretty well every other mental-health counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, and psy...

In this post we will take a closer look at the expected return that is often stated for investments like stocks and other financial assets, or for certain outcomes in gambling. The point we want to convey is that the expected return is only valid for one period or a single “iteration” (s...
