Back to the Crowd
So, I did it… It has been a strange few days. The weather returned, once again, to the trickery that is winter in Montreal, Canada. You can never tell when Mother Nature will play games with the city, and a snowstorm hit us with a dusting of whiteness and cold that I did not expect to be so heavy. On the radio, as I got in a bit of stretching and breakfast, the radio covered the funeral of one of our more controversial prime ministers, Brian Mulroney (it is still amazing to me how quickly people forget the full story of certain political leaders). Not really the best moment to be stuck inside with grey skies and no work to do (all papers already marked; just grades to post). I went back online to amuse myself and think about another Saturday night with nothing to do.

Echoes of Mars
The fiery sun of Kepler-186f drifted down towards the horizon, splashing the desiccated Martian surroundings with long shadows. Captain Zara Khan fiddled with her helmet. The filtered air had a soothing buzz against the thin veil of red. The team was looking at a holographic map, around which they were huddled, on a very small scale compared to the towering, monolithic things that occupied the alien city.

Screens, teens and the loss of brain power
Screens and teens: How phones are breaking children’s brains Phones may be the number one issue that homes, schools and the younger generation are struggling with. Students have them out at all times, clutched in their hands like shiny, black security blankets. They will message each other from across the room during lessons, or scroll social media, or listen to music; meanwhile, teachers etc. are desperately trying to claw their attention back and get them to engage with the real world.

The Love Of Words
Introduction One of the reasons that we love creating stories is our love of the simplicity and complexity of words. The music I have chosen is "Stay" by Shakespear's Sister (I know it is spelled differently to the Bard of Stratford's surname)which contains beauty and darkness in a wonderful four minutes of music, a great listen and watch, and I love the sentiment "Stay With Me".
