Jose Mujica – president of Uruguay since 2010 – is worth about the same as the 1987 VW Beetle he drives, lives a simple, austere life and urges other world leaders to do the same.
President Mujica has shunned the luxurious house that the Uruguayan state provides for its leaders and opted to stay at his wife’s farmhouse, off a dirt road outside the capital, Montevideo. The president and his wife work the land themselves, growing flowers. This austere lifestyle – and the fact that Mujica donates about 90% of his monthly salary, equivalent to $12,000 (£7,500), to charity – has led him to be labelled the poorest president in the world.
Justice Paul Carney has reversed his decision in the Fiona Doyle incest case offering the above reason.

Paths to the Pale by Alan Nagle of Yellowhammer.
It’s Busáras, baby.
Alan, who lives in Moate, Co Westmeath, explainz:
On my recent travels to Dublin on public transport, I would at some point end up at Busaras. It’s a building I have always admired from a young age and think it’s a hidden gem when you get past the grimy veneer. It’s a building which utilises many different materials and the control tower with it’s shell roof shown here are wonderful. It was completed in 1953. Michael Scott and must have caused quite a stir at the time!
I develop my ideas through thumbnail sketches before beginning work on the computer. I draw my digital images roughly working with my chosen palette, refine, forget about it for a while and repeat these steps until I’m happy enough.
