This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

Mark Carney Took the Stand the Rest of the World Must Now Take Disentangling Canada from the United States is a mammoth undertaking. But Carney clearly means business.

The United States is on the cusp of becoming a pariah state, ruled by a spoiled man-child who is increasingly and openly mocked for his obvious failings. It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act. trib.al/6H5ge4v

My photo shows an ornate golden helmet on display in a museum case. It is a reconstruction of an Anglo-Saxon helmet which was decorated with gilded silver sheets embossed with designs of warriors and animals. It has decorated cheek guards, a nose guard, and a long red horsehair plume running from back to front over the top of the helmet.

The Staffordshire Hoard helmet.
A helmet fit for a king!

This reproduction is based on helmet fragments from the Anglo-Saxon Staffordshire Hoard. It shows how it might have looked when it was made around 1,400 years ago.
