Games: BBC History

An educational resource provided by BBC, these games allow you to quiz yourself on and participate in British history. Games such as the code breaking Spying Game and the treasure hunting Diving Game, will be fun for all. While made for children, some games celebrate the more violent end of British history, such as Viking Quest, in which the player sacks a monastery. Three of the games focus specifically on Scottish history.

Chronic Wasting Disease and Wisconsin Deer

Chronic wasting disease has appeared in the deer of Wisconsin and several other states in recent months. Here, the Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources explains the basics of the disease, and provides all kinds of information, from audio recordings to maps, about how the state is dealing with it. For those who are not in Wisconsin, links are provided to resources in other states and provinces.
