» It's no secret that I suffer from bipolar disorder, a major mental disorder, which is not so much an illness as a chemical imbalance in the brain. It has made my life like a nonstop rollercoaster ride _ up and down, year after year, stumbling from one self-induced disaster to the next, not realising until I was about 40 that there was something seriously amiss.

» As the volcanic cloud drifts away from European skies, it's still good to know how the sleepy Eyjafjallajokull exploded two weeks ago, throwing a vast plume of volcanic ash around 11km into the atmosphere in "The Cloud that Closed a Continent", according to Time magazine. The article offers a scientific explanation about how the glacier on top of Eyjafjallajokull was able to wreak such havoc in Europe, causing not only the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights and the stranding of hundreds of thousands of travellers in airports around the world but also the loss of millions of dollars a day for airlines.
