Cacciolina Today I'm going to delight you with the life and times of Cacciolina, the little crocodile dog. Cacciolina is almost two years old but she's absolutely convinced that she's a puppy or better yet, that she's a baby! Cacciolina came to our house shortly after my friend (dog) Kenzo passed away. His passing away was very difficult for me and for my grandma who had been showing signs that her time, was also reaching an end. Kenzito died in March 2016 and Cacciolina came to our home in May, in the few months that Cacciolina spent with my grandma, she managed to spark some life back into my granny and made her happy until the very end...My grandma passed away on August 15th of that same year and even when she was at the hospital she asked about Cacciolina. Cacciolina is a very special dog not only because she's been able to bring comfort and love to my mom and me after our losses, but also because she's got a very endearing personality. When I arrive ...

Dear all, Today you can write about whatever you choose, the requirement is that you do so in a minimum of 180 words. Everyone here has got different academic backgrounds so it might be better for everyone, if neither one of you refers to very specific things in your field of study because it might make it hard for all of us to understand, and honestly, it might even be a bit boring... Try to keep it interesting or controversial, that's always fun! Happy writing

The best concert ever: as told by Mr Z In 1994 or 1995, I crossed the Pennines from my home in Sheffield to Manchester, to see Tricky supporting P J Harvey. Both had released career-defining albums that year - Tricky's Maxinquaye, and Harvey's To Bring You My Love. As my two favourite artists, I was thrilled to discover them on the same bill. Tricky went on first. Maxinquaye is already a darker and more experimental album than the Trip Hop he'd pioneered with Massive Attack, and on stage he pushed further, creating a menacing, almost oppressive atmosphere. Excellent, atmospheric, kinda scary stuff. ... and then Polly came on and blew him out of the water. She was mesmerising, performing the material as though demonically possessed, and following every song with a soft, shy, child-like "thank you". She played almost everything off the new album, and her backing band easily did justice to songs as disparate as Meet Ze Monsta and The Dancer. The high...

Hey there, Today I'd like to tell you about a country I'd like to visit and hopefully I will visit it some time soon. First of all, I have to say that there are many countries that I'd like to visit, but a country that I want to visit for different reasons is the UK. I want to go to the UK because there are lots of aspects of their culture that I like. I'd really like to do a PhD there because they have some of the best and oldest universities in the world. They have a strong academic tradition and frankly, some of the old universities are just gorgeous. The UK also has amazing sights in terms of landscape as well as constructions. I would obviously like to visit London because there are incredible monuments and buildings, for instance, Buckingham palace. I also want to go to the south to see Stonehenge and to the North of England to see the beautiful scenery and because a person I really love is from the North of the UK. I really hope I'll be able to make ...
