Michael Alexander speaks to St Andrews University educated writer, lecturer, poet and editor David Lorimer about his new book A Quest for Wisdom: Inspiring Purpose on the Path of Life.
Visitors to the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh might be familiar with the oil painting Ville-d’Avray: Entrance to the Wood by 19th century French landscape and portrait painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot.
Corot’s landscapes strongly influenced young Impressionists, and the fresh colour and deftly observed play of light and shadow on the rutted track in this particular piece make it one of Corot’s most attractive landscapes.

The world has a poop problem. A big one. By 2030, it will be a 3.7 billion-tonnes-a-year problem, and that’s just accounting for faeces produced by farmed animals. This, by any measure, is a lot of poop, particularly considering many countries already struggle to deal with it.
Much of this excess excrement can be used as crop fertiliser, but this is tricky in areas such as the Netherlands or northern Italy where there is a lot of livestock and little arable land. The alternative is to transport manure to areas where it is required. Another solution? Feed it to insects.
WARSAW â A Warsaw man on probation for dealing drugs and who was arrested for prostitution-related charges in Batavia has been indicted on charges that he assaulted a police officer.
David M. Schmieder, 26, appeared in Wyoming County Court last week to answer an indictment charging him with second-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence, both felonies, along with resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
Schmieder entered a not guilty plea and the case was adjourned until Feb. 25.
Schmieder is accused of assaulting a Wyoming County sheriffâs deputy during an arrest on Sept. 24 in Warsaw.
Citizens called 911 reporting that a man was standing in the middle of Route 19 obstructing traffic and acting âirrationallyâ and yelling such things as he was âgoing to meet God,â police said at the time.
