Twenty years later, I am now one of 50,000 legal medical cannabis patients in the UK. Legal cannabis patients are never the focus or the main story for corporate media and are still vilified and stigmatised by the media establishment. For those out of the loop, medical cannabis has been legal and available in the UK since November 2018. I use medical cannabis for chronic pain due to having a fused ankle, as well as metal work in my other ankle.

After a period of expansion and investment that wasn’t ultimately matched by student number growth, the university had broken its banking covenants not once but twice. “I came in…to basically make sure it wasn’t [a case of] three strikes and you’re out,” Curtis told Times Higher Education. To avoid this scenario, universities are selling off buildings, cutting courses and axeing employees – leading some academics to see covenants as something of a big bad wolf. ADVERTISEMENTIn simple terms, covenants are the financial conditions that an organisation agrees to maintain when it borrows money. “There’s no doubt there’s a handful of universities that have either breached financial covenants or…are forecasting breaches in the future,” said Matthew Howling, principal associate at legal firm Mills & Reeve.

A skin scientist has revealed how a 75p supermarket item could be the 'secret weapon' to combatting dry, cracked skin this winter. Leading healthcare information provider Patient.info suggests using an avocado face mask to absorb the benefits of the fruit into your skin.

Dr Majad Hussain said: "If you tend to struggle with dry, cracked skin through winter then making a few simple changes to your diet could make a big difference.

When Vladimir Putin last set foot in India almost exactly four years ago, the world order looked materially different. That visit – lasting just five hours due to the covid pandemic – saw Putin and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi discuss economic and military cooperation and reaffirm their special relationship. Over the past three years, the US and Europe turned a blind eye as India became one of the largest buyers of cheap Russian oil, despite sanctions in the west. He publicly put pressure on Delhi to halt its Russian oil purchases, which culminated in a punishing additional 25% punitive US tariff on Indian imports. It has also prompted India to try to move away from its dependence on Russia, particularly on defence.

Picture: Max HunterAvalanche forecasts start before next weekend, from December 11, and there is a new coordinator in place at the Scottish Avalanche Information Service (SAIS). “People need to be really aware of the source and if it’s a reliable source,” he suggests. The main message is that conditions can change quickly in the mountains, and in winter conditions that can have a much more serious impact than at other times of year. He is keen that the sport does not become exclusive, with only those who can afford formal training taking part. Information is given on wind slab, wet snow, cornices, and other real-life dangers that walkers should be aware of.

Play a word association game with the phrase “football stadium hotel” and you are unlikely to come up with “boutique”, “beautifully designed” or “mesmerising river views” — but these are exactly the terms you need for Fulham Pier Hotel. The stadium is Fulham FC’s, while the 13-room hotel is part of the major redevelopment led by Shahid Khan, the billionaire who bought the club from Mohamed Al Fayed in 2013. Out went the old west stand that sat with its back to the river, blocking the Thames Path. In — this year — came a swish new public-access waterside boardwalk running in front of a multi-floor complex combining dining, entertainment, a members’ club and, since October, a hotel.

Day three in Rovinj, Croatia’s pocket-sized Venice (albeit without the canals), and I have found genius-level gelato. Being the best gelateria in Rovinj is no small feat. On my final morning, I take another sea trip, on a larger boat this time — the Quo Vadis — buying my ticket from the kiosk on the small harbour (90-minute tour; £13.50). Everyone I met wanted to tell stories of the town: what their parents remembered, their grandparents before them.
