Lens onto an intractable conflict
Life, Ariane Kupferman-Sutthavong, Published on 13/10/2017
» In 2005, inhabitants of Bil'in, a West Bank Palestinian village, discovered that the "separation fence" Israel was building would encroach on their agricultural land. Quickly, the village became the heart of a non-violent resistance movement, where Palestinian and international activists gathered and devised creative ways to fight the Israeli occupation.

A Druid victory
Life, Bernard Trink, Published on 13/10/2017
» I didn't realise how many contemporary historians there are until I began reviewing their books. However, their interests don't vary greatly. Ancient Rome and the Tudor periods are predominant. Followed by World War II and the Templar knights. Then Ancient Egypt and the Napoleonic Wars.

The food rescuer
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/10/2017
» Tanaporn "Faii" Oi-isaranukul (second from left) is a donor relations coordinator and food hygienist at ThaiHarvest-SOS (fb.com/thaiharvestsos, thaiharvestsos.org), a local food rescue foundation which raises awareness around food waste and combats it. So far, it has rescued 65 tonnes of edible excess food and collected around 120 tonnes in scraps of food to make compost. One kilo of food provides up to three meals. Do the maths. They have provided 195,000 meals for those in need such as refugees and orphans. And, for every B1,000 spent, they serve 50 meals. Faii, a food science graduate from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, tells us about the budding organisation and how you can help out.

A year of tears
Life, Published on 13/10/2017
» One year ago today, Thailand lost a great king, the moral and spiritual centre of the entire nation. Upon hearing the news, people sobbed on the bus, wept on the train, cried in the office. It's one of those rare moments in life that affected all of us in such a way that we remember exactly where we were and how we felt when the reality of what happened set in. One year on, we ask dozens of people from all walks of life about how they remember that fateful day.

Sweet tarts are made of these
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/10/2017
» There's a vast array of places to go to satisfy your sweet tooth and that's not going to change anytime soon. Don't get us wrong, we're definitely not complaining. Joining the dessert fray all the way from South Korea is Tarr Tarr, a worthy addition to Bangkok's ever growing list of dessert places. Being its first foray outside South Korea, Tarr Tarr has been open for about two months and specialises in tarts, whether it be the hot kind or the dessert kind. But they've also got a variety of other items to offer as well that you can check out on the FB page (you can actually order online and pick it up from the shop).

Of land and sea
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/10/2017
» <b>The Setting:</b> Off the main busy road of Ekkamai lies a haven of Mediterranean goodness that goes by the name of Pesca Mar & Terra Bistro. Freshly opened and only three weeks old, Pesca is handled by the same people who manage Cocotte. The aesthetic feel and ambiance Pesca gives off is very much like its cuisine. And if you're thinking that the space is similar to Cocotte's, we're glad to say that you're mistaken -- it's bigger. There's a whole section where the live seafood is displayed as well as a bread-and-cheese section which rivals the ones you typically see at hotels. There's also seating outside where the bar and the live plancha are located. Unless there's really heavy rain, it's still possible to sit outside. But wherever you choose to sit, you get lost and somehow leave Bangkok behind because you genuinely think you're dining at some seaside restaurant off the coast of Spain. Mediterranean is the cuisine, but Pesca's got the Mediterranean feel for their restaurant down to a tee.
