| | My health: Nate James, soul singer | | 12:50am Monday 12th May 2008 | | I do a lot of cardio stuff at the gym for being on stage. I need to have the least amount of sweat to avoid patches. I eat healthily, a lot of fish and pasta. Breakfast is typically porridge and toast or sometimes a bacon and cream cheese bagel, but with the fat cut off. |
| Wellbeing: health and happiness | | 12:50am Monday 12th May 2008 | This week: Hiccups
Poor old Chris Sands. The 24-year-old singer from Lincoln, has been hiccupping for 15 months, even in his sleep. He is now hoping an operation can cure the problem. But with this extraordinary condition, there are no clear answers.

 | Mark Padmore/Julius Drake, RSAMD, Glasgow | | Mon 12 May 08 | | Review: One was aware, after having listened to tenor Mark Padmore and pianist Julius Drake for the best part of 90 minutes (and held my breath for what felt like the same amount of time) that something rather special had
just happened.

| The Gospel according to our mither tongue | | 12:57am Monday 12th May 2008 | | I grew up bilingual. As a child I was fluent in two languages, and could flit from one to the other without difficulty. Like most people reading this column, I spoke one language in the playground and another in the classroom. What concentrated my tiny mind was that I could be belted for using one of the tongues at the wrong time, in the wrong place. | | By RON FERGUSON |
| SCO, City Hall, Glasgow | | Monday 12th May 2008 | | Review: Music critics are asked endlessly to explain the star system at the top of a review. Is it for the orchestra? For the interpretation? The soloist? The conductor? Is it for the magic (or otherwise, of course) of the moment? | | 1 comment | | By MICHAEL TUMELTY, Music Critic |
| The Making of Doubt, Tramway, Glasgow | | Monday 12th May 2008 | | Review: The first doubt hits you right away: six figures, all with their backs to the audience and all wearing hoodies – who’s who, here? And even when the live dancers start moving around with the two life-size dummies, it’s still not always clear who is initiating the moves. | | By MARY BRENNAN |
 | What's the story with food waste? | | 12:07am Sat 10 May 08 | | There is simmering panic in the aisles of supermarkets across the land: wheat prices are soaring, the cost of rice has gone through the roof and the average family's food bill has taken a substantial hike in recent months. | | 1 comment | | By MARISA DUFFY |
| Obstacle in the way of a presidential Mr and Mrs | | 12:06am Saturday 10th May 2008 | | So that's it, then. Barring some miracle, such as a team of British broadcasting executives being placed in charge of the vote, Hillary Clinton could be nearing the end of her run at the presidency. | | 2 comments | | By ALISON ROWAT |
| Worm has turned in the battle to repel growing food landfill | | 12:16am Friday 9th May 2008 | | Ethical Living: It was one of the more unusual gifts we got that year: circular sections of black plastic and a white package that squirmed of its own accord. Since then, five years ago, the insects in our wormery have chomped their way through countless veg peelings and tea bags. | | 1 comment | | By REBECCA McQUILLAN |
