Well if that's not worth a spontaneous round of applause from passers-by, I don't know what is...

This removal of the CIfA minima pay seems v shortsighted. It was a useful benchmark to stop/shame employers from underpaying staff in a sadly underpaid section. Many of us are graduates several times over and shouldn't be so lowly paid !

Take a look at CIfA's statement in full, which may help to clarify our position: archaeologists.net/news/replaceme…

The sole 1750s window sash surviving in the facade of 68 Arran Street East enabled specialist joiners @lambstongue to precisely replicate all of the missing sashes, in addition to conserving the original model with its original handblown glass. Try spotting it amidst the others!

Exclusive analysis by our @FactCheck team shows just how bad things are getting in Northern Ireland’s health service. The number of people waiting more than 12 hours in A&E is now 36 times higher than it was in 2009. @C4Ciaran reports.


Recent find in Bellaghy also Seamus Heaney county. Heaney was interested in the bog and bog bodies as in this 1974 poem he linked to the violence of the death of bog bodies with the troubles

As if he had been poured in tar, he lies on a pillow of turf and seems to weep the black river of himself. The grain of his wrists is like bog oak, the ball of his heel like a basalt egg. His instep has shrunk cold as a swan’s foot or a wet swamp root.



Amazing work with the first forensically excavated iron age bog body in northern Ireland and C14 dating with QUB C14 lab Best info direct from PSNI

Archaeologists within the Police Service of Northern Ireland have uncovered ancient human remains dated over 2,000 years old in Bellaghy. orlo.uk/XolLe

This beautiful relief depicts a life-sized, naturalistic camel 🐪 Similarities between camel engravings in the Nafud Desert suggest that they were made by the same person or group, that travelled hundreds of kilometres to make the art #ReliefWednesday 🆓 buff.ly/3tX8zni
