Living with Peter who dresses as Penny Peter kept Penny hidden from his wife Lou for 12 years. When he came clean, Penny became Lou's secret too - for more than a decade. It wasn't exactly clear who would be waiting for me at Leominster station in Herefordshire - but it was Penny who turned up. She was a tall woman in her sixties, dressed in a bright jacket and skirt. On another day, she might have looked very different. Sometimes Penny is Peter Ellis, 63, a retired teacher and former local councillor. She doesn't mind whether people call her "he" or "she". "I've tried to work out what I am for a long time - I think the current trend is to talk about being non-binary and I think that's it." We drove to her home to meet her wife Lou, 69, a retired nurse. "It took me until my 20s to work out it was because actually I wanted to be feminine." She describes experimenting a little bit at home when she was alone. "I walked around the block at about 9pm [at] night, in the dark. Peter's letter to Lou Penny agrees. Where are you going?
History of the World ¿De dónde proviene el árbol de cacao? Mesoamérica o Alto Amazonas La historia ha ubicado a Mesoamérica como la región del origen del árbol de cacao sin embargo estudios realizados por botánicos y genetistas lo ubican en el Alto Amazonas, cerca de los límites entre Perú, Ecuador, Colombia y Venezuela. FJ Pound un agrónomo del Departamento de Agricultura de Trinidad encontró la clave para resolver el enigma, un enfermedad común en el árbol de cacao llamada escoba de bruja (witches' broom) es facilmente sobrellevada por las plantas del Alto Amazonas gracias a su alto nivel de diversidad sin embargo las plantas de Mesoamérica muestran pobreza genética y no resisten esta enfermedad.

AP: Global supermarkets selling shrimp peeled by slaves SAMUT SAKHON, Thailand (AP) — Every morning at 2 a.m., they heard a kick on the door and a threat: Get up or get beaten. For the next 16 hours, No. 31 and his wife stood in the factory that owned them with their aching hands in ice water. They ripped the guts, heads, tails and shells off shrimp bound for overseas markets, including grocery stores and all-you-can-eat buffets across the United States. After being sold to the Gig Peeling Factory, they were at the mercy of their Thai bosses, trapped with nearly 100 other Burmese migrants. No names were ever used, only numbers given by their boss — Tin Nyo Win was No. 31. Pervasive human trafficking has helped turn Thailand into one of the world's biggest shrimp providers. The problem is fueled by corruption and complicity among police and authorities. More than 2,000 trapped fishermen have been freed this year as a result of an ongoing Associated Press investigative series into slavery in the Thai seafood industry. They ran. They weren't.
40 more maps that explain the world Maps seemed to be everywhere in 2013, a trend I like to think we encouraged along with August's 40 maps that explain the world. Maps can be a remarkably powerful tool for understanding the world and how it works, but they show only what you ask them to. You might consider this, then, a collection of maps meant to inspire your inner map nerd. I've searched far and wide for maps that can reveal and surprise and inform in ways that the daily headlines might not, with a careful eye for sourcing and detail. 1.

Por primera vez, las fuerzas de defensa de Israel no pudieron sostenerse en una guerra total. — Olivier Roy, del periódico británico ‘The Financial Times’ Lo nuevo, e incluso dramáticamente nuevo de esta campaña, es su resultado. Las autoridades militares de Israel hablaban de las “operaciones de limpieza” de sus soldados al sur del río Litani, pero para los libaneses parece que es Hezbolá el que ha estado “limpiando”. Hezbolá no podría infligir una derrota contundente a Israel, una posibilidad que fue descartada por el evidente desigual número de fuerzas. Hezbolá se ha mantenido como era.
