Wabi-sabi and the Art of Search
OK – I admit it. I need to get out more. I read a book a while back on Leonardo da Vinci. It was saying something like we can think like this genius, by putting into practice these six or seven skills. I didn’t take too much notice but it came back to me the [...]

SEBEV trains its members in AED use

SEBEV SAR assist Thames Valley Police in non-missing person search
