Historic 177-year-old railway viaduct to be repaired amid safety concerns
PLANS to carry out extensive repairs on a historic 177-year-old railway viaduct in Stirlingshire have been submitted. Network Rail has lodged plans to carry out essential repairs on the category B-listed Old Mill Of Keir viaduct, which carries railway tracks between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan while crossing the River Allan. In its proposal to Stirling Council, Network Rail laid out the work that would need to be carried out, which included masonry repairs to its sandstone facade, edge protection and improved parapet stability. The plans outline that the height of the parapets would be raised to meet modern safety requirements, with handrails proposed for installation at the top of both parapets. READ MORE: Society of Editors condemns Scottish Labour over 'absurd' fake newspaper Network Rail carried out a Heritage Statement, which identified 'a number of live defects' on the viaduct. The most recent examination identified spalling masonry, open joints and perished pointing, along with damp brickwork and separation fractures to arch barrels behind the voussoirs. The statement added: 'It is suggested that these fractures could be a result of softening of the brick in its permanently damp state or possibly weakening of the backing materials resulting in increased flexibility of the arches and separation from the spandrel walls.' The Mill Of Keir viaduct sits within the Kippenross parkland, which was landscaped and designed by Thomas White Senior and Junior in the 18th century. The railway line that includes the Mill of Keir Viaduct was originally built by the Scottish Central Railway and formed part of a major 19th-century expansion of Scotland's rail network, which linked Perth to the central belt. The document adds: "The Mill of Keir Viaduct is a B-listed structure of mid-19th century origin, and the proposed works are informed by a detailed understanding of its construction, condition, and historical context. 'The interventions – particularly the installation of handrails and masonry repairs – are essential for safety and structural integrity, and have been designed to minimise visual and physical impact. 'The use of reversible and sympathetic materials, along with the retention of original fabric wherever possible, ensures that the special architectural and historic interest of the viaduct is preserved.'

Tripadvisor Faces New Investor Pressure to Spin Off Viator
Tripadvisor has another investor pushing for changes, just six weeks after activist investor Starboard Value took a 9% stake. UK-based Palliser Capital claims the company is stifling growth potential as it manages both a struggling legacy Tripadvisor business and Viator, a platform for experiences and its fastest-growing brand. "It is attempting to operate simultaneously as a value business and a growth business — and succeeding at neither," James Smith, Palliser chief investment officer, wrote to the Tripadvisor board. The entire company is worth less than $2 billion today. Palliser thinks Viator alone could be valued at $2-$2.5 billion, and that the entire company is worth around $3.7 billion. It wants Tripadvisor to focus on Viator or sell it. T

Why the new ‘tradwife' dictionary definition is stirring debate among moms
Cambridge Dictionary's new definition of 'tradwife' is sparking pushback from moms who say it reduces caregiving to a social media stereotype. Cambridge Dictionary recently added the term 'tradwife' to its entries, defining it as a woman who stays at home, cooks, cleans, raises children, and posts about this lifestyle on social media. While the dictionary's editors note that their role is to observe and record language rather than pass judgment, the addition has drawn criticism for oversimplifying a nuanced cultural phenomenon. Related: What's a 'tradwife' and why are they all over social media? Tracking the term online before inclusion The editors began tracking 'tradwife' on YouTube and Instagram in 2018, initially as two separate words. By 2020, it started appearing more widely as a single word. Wendalyn Nichols, publishing manager for Cambridge Dictionary, said the term 'gained momentum over the first half of this decade' and is now often associated with conservative women embracing traditional gender roles. Lexicographers observe without judgment 'As lexicographers, our job is to observe and record, and it is not to pass judgment on the terms,' Nichols said. 'We have horrible slurs in the dictionary that are appropriately labeled and cautioned about. But they are there because, for learners, if they don't find these words, they won't know to be careful.' Critics say the definition oversimplifies a cultural movement Critics, however, say the dictionary's definition collapses a complex cultural movement into a stereotype. Writer Jo Piazza commented: 'New substack! Link in stories. I don't expect the authors of the Cambridge dictionary to be fully versed in the nuance of tradwifery and social media context. I mean, I would like everyone to be, but media literacy these days is at an all time low. My biggest issue with this definition and the reason I feel an intense need to call it out is that it is terribly condescending to women who choose to stay in the home and care for their families. 'Stay-at-home mom' is already a term loaded with dismissal, as if being the CEO of a household and the caregiver for an entire family is somehow less than a dude who works in an office. Cambridge's definition seems to encompass any woman who works in the home and just 'posts on social media.' But tradwife is not just shorthand for women cooking and cleaning on TikTok and Instagram. As I have been writing about for years now, the tradwife phenomenon is a cultural movement. It is an aesthetic, often a performance, and more often a business model.' Social media drives the term's popularity The rise of social media has played a key role in the word's popularity, reflecting both aesthetic performance and lived reality. Experts note that dictionaries often lag behind nuance, capturing words only after they gain widespread understanding and cultural tipping points. The careful process of adding words Nichols explained that adding words is a careful process that includes tracking search trends, monitoring mainstream and social media usage, soliciting user feedback, and recognizing when a term moves out of quotation marks and becomes part of everyday language. For example, Covid-19 entered the dictionary just 37 days after it was identified, highlighting how cultural relevance drives inclusion. Concerns about labeling stay-at-home parents For many mothers, the concern is not merely the dictionary's entry but the implications of labeling. By codifying 'tradwife' as shorthand for a domestic lifestyle, critics argue that the language risks oversimplifying and stereotyping the diverse experiences of stay-at-home parents.
