Samhuinn Festival returns to Edinburgh with 'thousands' expected
The charity has promised an immersive festival with ‘magnificent’ fire-play and acrobatics, as well as a cavalcade of other-world creatures to celebrate the ‘epic battle’ between summer and winter. Tickets for the event can be bought online and cost £8 for adults and £6 for under 18s, with gates opening at 6.45pm and ending 10pm. “This year’s reimagining of the battle between Summer and Winter is embodied in two Warrior Queens, drawn from Norse and Celtic mythology. As they move through the Festival they meet acrobats, musicians, fire-wielders, and more - building their forces for the explosive moments when they meet and challenge each other. It has been held in Edinburgh since 1995, with its summer counterpart, Beltane, taking place on Calton Hill on the last day of April each year.

What about the one in three living with arthritis?
Our new report, Putting the Pieces Together in Drumchapel, demonstrates how tackling MSK conditions is about "more than just healthcare" and that support within and by communities is vital in improving the lives of Scots living with arthritis. In this sense, the community centre is as important as the health centre, the bus driver as the physiotherapist, and the community garden centre as the nearest hospital. In fact, those with arthritis are 20% less likely to be in work and around one in five people with arthritis experiences anxiety and depression. Our report highlights that "softer services", such as community and peer support groups, matter greatly, and that alternatives to formal care that support wellbeing are important in living well with arthritis. It’s a space where people can talk about arthritis in terms of who they are as people and not just patients.

SMC commemorates 75th anniversary of the Legion of MaryThe Legion of Mary was founded 103 years ago in Ireland and introduced to Ipoh in 1949 by Mother Pauline of the Infant Jesus Convent. For many years, Bernadette Chin led the Our Lady of the Annunciation praesidium, while Margaret Lee guided the Our Lady Queen of Missions praesidium. The event was well-attended by Legion members, their auxiliary members, prayer partners, and well-wishers. During the Mass, Fr Anthony Heng, the administrator of SMC, delivered a homily reminding the congregation of the spirituality of the Legion members. As soldiers of Mary, they are called to embody the spirit of Mother Mary, whose obedience to God was paramount.

Plastics in our food: biting off more than we can chew?
However, there are reasons to be concerned about its use in food packaging. They then cross-checked the scientific literature for evidence that these chemicals had migrated from food packaging, food-processing equipment, or tableware into food and, from there, into human bodies. PFAS are commonly found in food packaging because of their grease- and water-repelling properties. A law is expected to ban bisphenol A from food packaging by the end of the year. In March, a provisional agreement was reached for a regulation to disallow the use of PFAS in food packaging.

Jennifer Horgan: Disinformation thrives online, do we have the cop on to thwart it?
“Sure, you can get everything on social media now anyway. Like too many, the man had learned to disregard researched local, regional, and national information over social media posts and clickbait. “Thanks to their digital channels, local newspapers have never had so many readers and have never been more relevant to their communities,” he assured me. That’s the difference: newspapers value the truth; they seek it out — bad actors on social media are entirely different. Disinformation thrives online but I’m confident, having listened to Bob Hughes, that we’ve enough cop on to thwart it if we continue to work together to shut it down through traditional media.
