The Tango revival
The eurozone is balanced on a knife-edge. Greece, Portugal and Ireland have been bailed out, Italy and Spain are vulnerable and others may yet falter. Could Europe see its first default in the coming months? If so, what happens next?

Don McCullin Shaped by war and more…
Internationally renowned photojournalist Don McCullin recently gave a talk at the Imperial War Museum, London, where an exhibition surveying his life's work – Shaped by War – is now on display. In attendance was a young man. "He was a photographer, I thought he was a soldier… He went to Afghanistan, he wasn't there very long; he trod on one of those IEDs [improvised explosive devices], land mines, that blew both his legs off and his arm. He didn't need to be there, poor man."

The Nobel committee said the three women had been chosen "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work".

Skill and patience is of the essence, but choosing a gem is ultimately a personal affair, as each stone has its own unique spirit.

Pablo Atchugarry Sculpting a Legacy
Born in Uruguay in 1954, Pablo Atchugarry began exhibiting artwork as a teenager. In his early drawings it was evident that the artist would go on to greater things; when he began to sculpt his creativity became explosive.
"I believe that continuity is at the core of my practice," says Atchugarry. "I know my materials, I know how they will respond to my touch, and I am now free to discover new forms within the stone."
