Try Weaving for Yourself

It's easier than you think to give weaving a try; this meditative activity has a low barrier to entry.

With just a few tools, you can begin your journey to creating your own textiles.

Handwoven market baskets are both fashionable and practical; use as a tote, shopping bag or as a storage basket. Weaving together timeless Nordic design and Kenyan handcrafts, each unique item is work of hands and hearts: beautiful, extremely durable and easy to keep clean.

Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić has died.

News of the death of Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić was released by official city authorities early in the hours of Sunday 28 February 2021.

Croatian media reports that Mr. Bandić fell ill shortly after 11.30pm on Saturday 27 February while at home. Shortly thereafter, an ambulance was called to his apartment on Bužanova ulica. Paramedics at the scene attempted to resuscitate Mr. Bandić for 45 minutes before taking him to Sveti Duh hospital, say the media. It would appear that efforts made to revive the mayor were sadly unsuccessful. He served in the position for 21 years. At the time of his death, Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić was the longest-serving capital city mayor in the world.

He was linked to many scandals and Croatian media estimates that around 250 criminal charges were filed against him. He remained popular enough with segments of Zagreb's population to retain his position in a series of re-elections.

Catzilla

Matt McCarthy describes his own cats as sweet and cuddly creatures, but on the day when he saw his cats play with a bug that entered his home, McCarthy remembered something about cats: they are apex predators. A thought then crossed his mind: “How would cats react to me and my wife if we were that small?” This resulted in the creation of these photos which depict giant cats in various cities.
