"RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised"
I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion.

It has *always* been true that - in terms of bang-for-buck - smaller dev teams are usually more productive than larger teams. Fred Brooks wrote about this in 1975.

This is the famous Venezuelan Poodle Moth (Artace sp.), a distinctively fluffy, white insect w/ prominent bulbous dark eyes and feathery antennae.
First photographed in 2009 by Arthur Anker in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela. Its exact taxonomic classification remains debated by entomologists.
