Comic panel from the watchmen comic book series. A ghostly Dr Manhattan tries to reassemble himself in the military research base he was atomized in. A glowing circulatory system walks towards horrified workers in a kitchen. Caption reads "it's November 10th. There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen..."

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

Uni must make job cuts as falling student numbers mean Β£30m. savings must be made Lancaster University has revealed it needs to make a significant number of job cuts as it seeks to save Β£30m. in the financial year, partly due to falling student numbers.

The university cutting jobs today is Lancaster, which may lose about 400 more roles. Every single day in Higher Education is like this. Why won't someone stop the madness?

People ask why Lord's is always the venue for the final of the World Test Championship. It's because they need a guaranteed neutral venue for the finalists.
