THIS free exhibition at London’s Alison Jacques Gallery is a much-needed and timely reminder of the quality and urgent relevance of the work of Edinburgh-born Carol Rhodes, who studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the turbulent late-1970s.
It dovetails with the heightened awareness of, and campaigning about, the environmental threats posed by overexploitation of natural resources.
Rhodes did not reside, as many would, in an ivory tower. She found her place in social activism, radical feminism, campaigns for disarmament, gay rights and social justice campaigns.
She was a regular at Reclaim the Night demonstrations, the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, protests against nuclear-armed submarines at the naval base on the Clyde and she co-founded the Glasgow Free University with the writers Alasdair Gray and James Kelman.

I am a cancer survivor, a patient and an applicant since 2019 for a retail marijuana dispensary. I have become increasingly frustrated with New Jersey’s cannabis regulatory climate.
My friend Will Sirois, who is part of the Bloom Wellness venture, recently lived in California. He was accustomed to a state that has ample cultivators and dispensaries to supply a full-fledged recreational market. Here on the East Coast, we are far behind. At the current rate, it will take years to build up to a sustainable market. With the trajectory we’re on, things are not very promising.

I am a physics teacher in this state, and I wholeheartedly endorse the view that more space science should be taught in our schools. However, I think the authors Charly Castillo and Sruthi Suresh, two high school students with strong science backgrounds missed some important information that could add perspective.
As few as one in three physics teachers in this country has a background in either physics or physics education, based on a 2014 report by the American Institute in Physics. Most teachers, then, are non-specialists who teach this subject because the demand is comparatively lower than for some other courses. The AIP report states that fewer than half of American students take any physics course.

WASHINGTON – Carol Rhodes, 56, left her earthly home on Dec. 22, 2020, surrounded by her loved ones, to meet her beloved Saviour after a short battle with cancer.
Born in Belfast Hospital on July 24, 1964, Carol was raised in Lincolnville, and then Hope by her parents Robert and Judith (Warren) Carle. At 6 years old, Easter Sunday 1970, Carol trusted Christ as her Saviour- beginning a love relationship that lasted her lifetime.
Carol began her passion for horsemanship with four sturdy ponies and a draft named Queen, eventually going on to own horses of her own, and retrain others’ horses. She graduated from Camden Rockport High School in 1982 and began working at Crowe Rope in Warren, staying with Robert and Alice Wotton and biking on a 10 speed everywhere. In 1985, she volunteered in the stable of a church camp, where
