Magnitude 5.1 earthquake hits Greece, no reports of damage

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck in the Gulf of Corinth in central Greece early on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, authorities said.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which revised down an initial reading of 5.7 magnitude, said the quake struck 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) below the surface in the gulf separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese peninsula, 16 kilometres from the town of Itea.

The tremor, which occurred just after 1 a.m. (2200 GMT), was felt as far away as Athens, the capital, some 115 kilometres away.

Crete man arrested and fine for using shock collar on dog

Police in Crete have arrested a 67-year-old man and slapped him with a fine of 15,600 euros for torturing his dog with an electric shock collar and other violations concerning the safety and welfare of his pet.

The fine also related to the fact that the 67-year-old did not have his dog tagged with an electronic chip or a medical booklet with its history of veterinary care and vaccinations.

‘Sunday Scaries’: two-thirds of Britons suffer anxiety before return to work

The “Sunday Scaries” regularly affect more than two-thirds of Britons who report work stresses, lack of sleep and looming to-do lists as the primary causes of anxiety before the start of the working week.

The worst affected were young adults with 74% of those aged 18-24 experiencing what psychologists call “heightened anticipatory anxiety” as the weekend comes to a close.

Ahead of world mental health day tomorrow the government unit responsible for improving national public health policy has unveiled a new campaign urging people to “be kind to your mind”.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) says that by answering five simple questions through the every mind matters website, people can get a personalised “mind plan” giving tips to help deal with stress and anxiety.
