Future of Scottish farming must lie in Scotland's hands | The Scottish Farmer
Voting SNP on May 6 will protect Scottish farming and food production and put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands - not Boris Johnson’s.
The SNP remains committed to supporting active farming and food production with direct payments, as well as moving towards conditional support so farmers produce more of our own food needs sustainably, and with nature. We will establish a single implementation board with representation from all farming sectors to drive forward recommendations of farmer-led groups.
From India to The IPL: Do You Read Me?
Even as India continues to struggle due to COVID-19, the IPL continues, almost in a parallel universe.
A few self-evident truths. Yes, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a game-changer, entertainment-engine, employment-generator, distraction-device, balm-dispenser, and these days, it appears also neighbourhood watch. So how can this be construed as a demand to cancel, suspend, postpone, curtail, or trim the ongoing season?
At the moment, the IPL is safe from such gut-wrenching choices because its cast-iron bio-bubble on the surface of Mars effectively shields it from the sattar saalon main joh nahin hua public health crisis in independent India.

Scottish Election 2021: Scottish Labour accused of 'largesse' and no clarity on costs |
A review of commitments made by Anas Sarwar's party, by the Institute of Fiscal Studies, concludes the manifesto "contains an enormous number of pledges" and "largesse" but no clarity on how they would be paid for.
On NHS spending the assessment by the IFS is that despite "numerous promises and ambitions… there is no stated plan for medium- to long-term NHS funding" while on jobs it says the offer is "unprecedented in the UK" and delivering on the pledge would require a "substantial top-up to the Scottish Government's block grant by the UK government".
Motorcycle Diary: Karimul Hak, Saving Souls On Two wheels
Nonetheless, India’s brittle healthcare system, traditionally and systematically neglected by all our political rulers and regimes for decades and generations, is crumbling like a house of cards. Most of our sincere efforts get overwhelmed by the gargantuan magnitude of the labyrinthine blackhole, making ourselves either step back and vent out our frustrations through social media outbursts or simply sulk and create doomsday mongering rants of schadenfreude.
At times, the convoluted socio-political interpretations make the otherwise lucid story-telling a bit monotonous, but as a whole, it’s a good and timely read. As a recent COVID-19 survivor, I have realized how this pandemic is also taking an oft-overlooked mental toll. Thus, the inspiring story of an inconspicuous yet iconic Johnny-on-the-spot may help many overcome the mental trauma and, on the other hand, motivate many to lend a helping hand to others.

Introducing SafeETH - A Safe ETH Community - AltBitNews
It is fair to say that the 'DeFi' sector exploded in popularity in 2020. Lending protocols, borrowing stablecoins and mining liquidity (also known as yield farming) has been opened to the masses and the masses have responded favourably.

This is clearly big business and only getting bigger.
