How do you feel when you approach the end of a that you have enjoyed ?

I am nearing the end of a seven hundred and forty seven page . Just forty five pages to go. I am experiencing mixed emotions as I have enjoyed the work, it increased my knowledge and widened my intellectual horizon; however, I will be glad when the book is finished.

I have spent years looking at or watching advertisements on the internet. In all those years from what I can recall, I have never bought an item that was being sold to me via an advertisement.

Have you ever bought a product that you saw being advertised?

Today, Google Translate thought that “langoustine”, which is apparently the English name for the type of lobster found near Iceland, as “langreyði” in Icelandic

Langreyði is the Icelandic word for “fin whale”, which is not a type of lobster.

In #Danish, you can use "tænk" (think) as an exclamative marker showing surprise or some other affect towards something. For instance, "tænk at de gjorde det" (think that they did it!) is an expression of the speaker's surprise (contrasting their belief) that they decided or managed to do something. It's a little bit like the English "Imagine the possibilities!" which also shows affect, but is different as it takes a noun phrase and not a subordinate clause. Also, "tænk" may often be negative?

"Nothing exists but social media. No one does anything offline. So the entire measure of someone’s commitment is how much they post about their commitment."

<strong>53% of UK Parents Don’t Buy Books for Their Children</strong>

"_The survey found that 28% of parents cited affordability as a barrier to purchasing books for their children. For many families, budgeting for essential needs takes precedence over buying books, which might be seen as a non-essential expense._"

When you encounter folks who believe #fossilfuels cannot be replaced, #Portugal is proving what is possible.

Despite what the #petrogarchy would have us believe, #CleanEnergy is not only cost effective but has the potential to provide electricity cheaper than dirty alternatives

For me, it is not about apportioning blame but rather trying to understand the past.

<strong>Britain in Palestine 1917-1948</strong>

The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britain’s legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today._"

<strong>Mesmerising microbes: bacteria as you’ve never seen it before – in pictures</strong>

"_As a side hustle he manipulates and photographs the microbial world; his images are collected in a book, Beautiful Bacteria. Taking bacteria from substances such as wastewater, dental plaque or kimchi, Danino lets them multiply in a petri dish, adding dyes. The results are artworks differing from the digital enhancements often made in scientific photography to make images more informative._"
