Archaeological finds push Castlegate scheme £8m over budget Council is bidding for more funds to complete the public park and events space in Sheffield city centre.

Or to put it another way, "Council officials planned a development on the well-known site of an important castle without budgeting sufficiently for the archaeology"

Those are the people who the rest of the population can protect by getting a vaccine. But when people won’t even do things in their own interest, what hope do the rest of us have?

This is a big part of what is wrong with humans. Not only is she not willing to protect the vulnerable in general, she’s not even willing to protect her own children because she’s a fool. :/

Had this one around for a while - you can see that whenever I get access to a digital newspaper archive, I look for stuff about grave diggers! I’m digging for the resurrectionists myself. ;)

Emma, Countess Edgcumbe? I forget her exact dates. Her story goes a bit urban myth, but many stories took on aspects of urban myths.

Yes. It did happen too, as far as I can tell- not as often as people came to think it did, but enough for the anxiety to be real, I reckon. With developments in resuscitation as well, and those who were ‘dead’ being saved, people seem to have turned to decay as their only surety.

Caring Companions Audio Caring Companions Audio Throughout history, animals have given people comfort, support, and assistance; some as pets, others are matched with people to assist in a specific way or to provide support...

It’s in London, at St Thomas’s Hospital!

I personally don’t understand why people enjoy getting the decapitated remains of plants anyway. >.>

Yeah, the wide scale theft of artists’ work to train them and the incredible waste of water to cool servers to generate rubbish when humans can already do better might be a bit upsetting too. *sarcasm*

My glasses are already smart Facebook. They see you coming. (How sad are ‘smart glasses’ anyway).

The Florence Nightingale Museum just concluded a beautiful exhibition about animals who assist the ill and service animals, and if your student contacts them, they might have materials or contacts to organisations they could forward.

Charles Byrne’s retirement from public display came at last! In the picture of his skeleton, he is seen with Mr Jeffs (who might not have been called Mr Jeffs!). Now turned forwards to look outwards over visitors, Mr Jeffs is still with the museum. He still has things to tell us.
