Anarchists urge Greeks to drop flower pots on police

Anarchist groups in Athens have occupied a downtown university building and have urged nearby residents to attack police by dropping flower pots from their balconies, ahead of an annual protest march frequently marred by violence.

Police on Wednesday said more than 5,000 officers would be on duty for the march matching the Nov. 17 anniversary of a deadly 1973 student uprising against a dictatorship that collapsed the following year.

How to have a well-behaved puppy...make sure it sees a man with a moustache within six weeks of birth

The secret of how to make puppies well-behaved has finally been found, and it involves stroking them with a toothbrush and exposing them to men with moustaches.

The charity Guide Dogs, which trains 1,300 puppies a year, has created the first programme which is scientifically proven to have a long-term, positive impact on a dog’s behaviour.

Raze, rebuild, repeat: why Japan knocks down its houses after 30 years

Unlike in other countries, Japanese homes gradually depreciate over time, becoming completely valueless within 20 or 30 years. When someone moves out of a home or dies, the house, unlike the land it sits on, has no resale value and is typically demolished.

You’re gorge-ous: which is Britain’s best supermarket mature cheddar?

Whenever you eat a chunk of tasteless cheddar, take a moment to curse the man responsible: Hitler. Subjecting us to decades of cheerless cheese may not have been his primary goal, but, 72 years on from the end of the second world war, British cheese is only just getting over the aftershocks.

Before the war, Britain had more than 1,600 farmhouse and regional speciality cheese makers, but, from 1940 to 1954, the Ministry of Food ordered that cow’s milk could be used only to produce long-life, easily transported, factory-made cheddar. It transformed the British cheese scene. As described in Donald Thomas’s history of the black market, The Enemy Within, the rich could still buy under-the-counter South American roquefort or expensive goat’s-milk cheeses, but, for everyone else, the only cheese available was so-called “government cheddar”.

According to the Guardian food experts the best supermarket Cheddar is M&S Three Year Old Cornish Cruncher Cheddar 300g

EU social justice: Denmark, Sweden and Finland come top, Greece ranks last

A recovery in the labor market has reduced poverty and improved social justice across the EU, according to the Bertelsmann Foundation. But the gap between northern and southern countries remains wide.

Explains why most supermarket cheese is tasteless and often rubbery.   :btd:
