Rain Shield, created by Taiwanese designers Lin Min-Wei & Liu Li-Hsiang, is constructed around a single curved steel wire and telescopic rod, has no sharp edges and folds away into a 180mm disc.

It also looks like your only man for the sideways rain.

Curse you, sideways rain.

My girlfriend was walking the dog in the park just down from Dartry Mills [off Dartry Road close to its junction with Milltown Road], Dublin when she came across this turtle sitting in the gravel beside the [River] Dodder.

It is injured, bleeding and rather motionless. If anybody somehow lost their turtle or can identify the breed, we’d love for you to get in contact.

I am working with the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. Things have gotten a little hectic since Ahmed Al Jabari [Hamas military commander] was killed yesterday afternoon. I took the photo (above) about 45 minutes after the attack.
In my private capacity, I have gotten together with a group of internationals who are working in Gaza in the fields of journalism, human rights, education, and agriculture.
We have put together a call for action which has just been published on Mondoweiss and we would like to share it as widely as possible.
We are also interested in continuing to provide information on the attacks in Gaza as they are ongoing and are anxious to ensure that the facts get out.

The G8thering?

Apparently.

The 2013 G8 Summit will be held in Enniskillen, The Impartial Reporter understands.

Speculation is growing that world leaders including US President Barack Obama, will descend on Enniskillen next Summer for talks hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron.

It is believed that the five-star Lough Erne Golf Resort has been selected as the venue for the 39th meeting next June.
