The Best Bags of London and Milan Fashion Weeks

Highlights from the fall/winter 2016 runways.

There must be an optimum size for a bag. 
I have yet to discover what it is.
It depends on the life the carrier lives.
Sometimes more than one bag is required.

On the Costa Brava of Spain, a Sea Urchin Quest

Along the Costa Brava of Spain, savoring the briny taste of the prized ‘sea hedgehog’: cooked, raw and steps from the source.

Find an Ice Flower Before It Melts

It blossoms in the middle of the night, when the air is just at freezing and the ground is warm — at least relative to the air.

There are many fugitive phenomena.
Puppies

youth
sunsets and dawn
Shooting stars
snow flakes on a glove.
a scrim of ice on a puddle.
a vortex on a drain.
The world is dynamic.

Indonesians Flock to Restaurant Where Woman Was Poisoned

The case of the “coffee murder,” in which a young woman died of cyanide poisoning in Jakarta, has set off morbid curiosity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_poisoning

The incident was atypical. 
The victim lasted hours before death.
Perhaps a gel cap of sodium cyanide.
It seems a complicated suicide.

Chinese Court Upholds Life Sentence for Top Aide to Bo Xilai

The court rejected an appeal by the aide, Wu Wenkang, who had been given a life sentence by a lower court in late 2014.

Deepwater Horizon and Dewey & Leboeuf Cases Share Challenges

Both cases highlight just how hard it is to convict those involved in complex corporate decisions where there is diffuse responsibility.

In both cases the chain of responsibility is clear.

The necessary oversight was not exercised.

Making Policing Safer for Everyone

The police need to rethink their tactics in confrontations with suspects who aren’t armed with guns.

Yes.
A baton is a useful weapon against a knife.
Single stick should be taught.
A gun has no defensive capability.
