Among the 12 zodiac animals, 11 are common creatures in human life, while dragons stand out as legendary beings that are not real. In Asian culture, dragons hold a significant presence in various forms like movies, books, and traditional treats. Dragons are revered in cultural histories of Eastern societies like China, Korea, and Japan. They symbolize power, luck, and sometimes mystical forces. Korean dragons, known as Yong, resemble Chinese dragons but with distinctive features. Japanese dragons come in green and black variations, representing different virtues and beliefs. In folklore, dragons are depicted as a blend of nine animals, showcasing supernatural abilities and dominion over nature, particularly water. They are revered as symbols of power and often associated with emperors and gods. Dragons are deeply intertwined with the origins and beliefs of Asian societies, embodying strength, wisdom, and divine significance.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.
