    When Sylvain Tesson left the colorful yellow houses of the French Riveria for a ski trek across the Alps with his friend Daniel du Lac, a high-altitude mountain guide, he didn't know what exactly would await him. Over the course of four years, from 2018 to 2021, they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, entering into a white world entirely of snow, bitterly cold, and overlooked by an empty sky; only the effort of moving forward, one stride at a time, separated the days from one another. He thought he was venturing into beauty but he was immersing himself in a substance. In the white of the high Alps all is canceled out—hopes, fears, memories, and regrets. What did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was communion with a substance. Perhaps his longtime dream of transforming travel into prayer would come true at last.

    If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
    Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
    Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
    Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
    In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

    The Irish Troubles - Conflict...

    The deep divisions that came to define the Troubles in Northern Ireland have their roots in centuries of conflict, conquest, and colonization. The split between the largely Catholic Irish population and the Protestant settlers brought by British rule laid the groundwork for enduring hostility. This divide was not merely religious but deeply political and cultural, with Catholic nationalists largely advocating for a united Ireland, while Protestant unionists were loyal to the British crown and sought to remain part of the United Kingdom. These opposing identities hardened over time, especially in the north, where British colonization during the 16th and 17th centuries planted a Protestant presence in predominantly Catholic lands, most notably in the province of Ulster. 
    The 1921 partition of Ireland formalized the division, creating Northern Ireland as a separate political entity within the United Kingdom. While the south eventually became the Republic of Ireland, the north remained under British control with a Protestant-majority government. This arrangement was viewed by many Catholics as both illegitimate and oppressive, fostering a sense of exclusion and marginalization. Protestants, in turn, felt under siege by the threat of Irish republicanism and feared losing their political and cultural dominance. The new state was marked from the beginning by systemic discrimination against the Catholic minority in areas such as housing, employment, and political representation. 
    Tensions simmered for decades, occasionally flaring into violence, but it was in the 1960s that the situation began to unravel. Inspired by civil rights movements elsewhere, Northern Irish Catholics began organizing protests demanding equal treatment and an end to institutionalized bias. The state’s heavy-handed response to these demonstrations, combined with Protestant fears of losing control, only intensified the divide.
