Sort out law on e-scooters now

Like a plague of locusts, they have invaded our streets, pavements, and communities, bringing with them accidents, collisions and anti-social behaviour.

The lost art of small talk
You know what’s more boring than engaging in small talk? People who refuse to do it Image: IMDB TWO MONTHS ago, I started a new job – which regularly tops the list of “most stressful things you can do”, alongside moving house, breaking up with a partner or attempting to master an Excel Spreadsheet (something I must also do in this new role of mine). Before starting, I was appropriately nervous, with much of my concern stemming from a fear of the unknown. Will I be able to do the job?

VHL synthetic lethality screens uncover CBF-β as a negative regulator of STING
Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most common form of kidney cancer and is typified by biallelic inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor gene. Here, we undertake genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening to reveal synthetic lethal interactors of VHL, and uncover that loss of Core Binding Factor β (CBF-β) causes cell death in VHL-null ccRCC cell lines and impairs tumour establishment and growth in vivo.

Thomas Mitchell A toothless task force has let insurers off the hook, writes Thomas Mitchell The average cost of comprehensive car insurance in the UK is now £726, according to Confused.com, the price comparison website.

Can You Smell That? Another McCaffrey Is Starting to Sizzle.
When I heard a friend utter the words “McCaffrey scored another touchdown. Maybe I should pick him up in fantasy,” last Sunday, I assumed he was talking about Christian, the all-world running back for the San Francisco 49ers. “How does no one else already have him on the team?” I stupidly asked. “Not Christian,” I was told. “His brother.” But wasn’t Christian McCaffrey’s older brother, Max, out of the NFL after playing for a few teams in the late 2010s?

A Memorial Day reflection
My father joined the Army when he was 16. He lied about his age. He knew what was coming and was there when it came. He was in Pearl City that Sunday morning in 1941 when World War II began. He spent the rest of the war hopping from island to island with his artillery unit. He said he chose artillery because he wanted to make a lot of noise. I know he was in the Philippines about the time the survivors of the Death March of Bataan were rescued.
Effective use of names in writing can take you to some interesting places
Writers are always thinking about writing. It is in the veins and the medulla oblongata. You think about tone, pace, style, voice, context, persuasiveness, rhyme, reason, and how to tickle the fancy of the reader. On a long plane ride I bumped up against a chapter in Roy Peter Clark’s new book, “Writing Tools, 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer.” The chapter on names. On the beauty of names and how we associate with them. Everything has a name. Everyone has a name. All God’s chilluns got names.

This ain’t my first rodeo
When National Finals Rodeo returns to Las Vegas this Thursday, I won’t be in the press box as I have in years past feeling the dirt kicked up by bucking broncos in the Thomas & Mack arena.

New book, ’The Colony,’ takes readers into a realm they never could have imagined
Author Sally Denton’s latest book may have been prompted by the ambush murders on a dirt road in northern Mexico of three female members of a polygamous spin-off sect of the Mormon Church and six of their children, while en route to the community of Colonia LeBaron, commonly known simply as The Colony, but it is far more than just a true crime book.
