Is Skye really a dog-friendly destination? We went to find out
Yet although our beaches and rolling hills are a pooch's paradise, it isn't always easy to find dog-friendly hotels or restaurants beyond the city. Accommodation is often limited to pods or huts, putting the more highbrow hotels out of bounds for four-legged friends, while options for food and drink can be sorely lacking. So it was with some trepidation that I booked a trip to Skye with my springer/poodle Paddy. After blanching at some of the prices for dog-friendly Airbnbs, it was a huge relief to discover that the Skeabost House Hotel (one of Skye's oldest and finest hotels) had an array of dog-friendly rooms. It meant I could be looked after by the excellent hospitality of a traditional hotel, while Paddy was spoiled with a large garden area to run around in – plus his own dog bed to curl up in afterwards. (Image: Skeabost House Hotel) The Skeabost, which began life as a hunting lodge in 1871, boasts an idyllic position on the edge of the River Snizort, the best salmon and trout fishing river on the island. But does that make it inaccessible? Far from it. I hopped on the local bus from right outside the hotel entrance –with Paddy in tow– and within 15 minutes arrived in the centre of Portree, the beating heart of Skye's culture and nightlife. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that almost every pub and bar was dog-friendly, including the rather stylish Caberfeidh Bar and Restaurant, a moodily lit cocktail bar that wouldn't look out of place in the trendier haunts of Finnieston. There's more traditional Highland hospitality too, if that's what you are after, including in the Antlers Bar and Grill where we had delightful fish and chips, and in the Isles Inn, where we struck up conversation with visiting American tourists. Although, in truth, they were far more interested in saying hello to Paddy than to my partner and I. The barmaid advised us that we could catch live traditional music at 1820 An Talla Mòr, a converted church that now operates as a bar and music venue – perhaps a microcosm of how Skye looks to adapt its once devoutly religious culture for a new generation. It was a complete joy to hear authentic music as part of the island's Trad Fest in such a setting, especially when the band called everyone up for a rendition of Strip the Willow (which even Paddy got whirled around for). Nursing slightly sore heads the next morning, we made the short drive into Portree on the hunt for a pick-me up, promptly delivered via coffees and scones at Café Arriba. It's a quirky little venue – designed to look Latin American but with sweeping views over Portree harbour. A special mention must be given to their delightful staff, who made a huge fuss of Paddy and slipped him a dog biscuit (or seven). We then braved the rain and howling winds with a drive to the Quiraing. This obscure formation of rocks was created via a landslide occurring over millions of years, a statistic wasted on Paddy, who was only interested in sniffing the grass. (Image: Alex Burns) There's a straightforward path from the car park that leads to a cracking viewpoint – like many places on Skye, the Quiraing looks just as majestic in gloomy, cloudy conditions as it does on a bright sunny day. After a certain point though, the path narrowed considerably, and with Paddy determined to pull us along the slippy cliff edge we decided to return to the hotel. A three-course meal at the Skeabost was the ideal way to warm up after our excursions, with the Maître d', John, charming us with his customer service and wine selections while politely correcting our awful pronunciation of some of the place names on Skye. Dogs weren't allowed in the restaurant, but it was a relief to have a night off from dog duties while knowing Paddy was happily snoring in the room. After breakfast the next day we departed – on John's recommendation – to Ben Tianavaig for a hill walk. Although Skye boasts spectacular scenery on its Cuillin ridges, the rocky terrain and steep drops are unforgiving and have been the scene of several fatal accidents. Ben Tianavaig, in comparison, gives a gentle, grassy incline, much more suitable for dogs, and takes less than three hours to get up and down. (Image: Alex Burns) Yet the views are still spectacular, taking in great swathes of the sea, surrounding hills and Isle of Raasay beyond. Feeling smug about our excursions, we decided we more than deserved a sweet treat from the Coffee Bothy on the road back towards the mainland. I crossed back over the Skye bridge feeling mixed emotions. Relief, that the trip had been such a success, and that Paddy had been welcomed with open arms, but also genuinely sadness to be leaving after 48 short hours. Knowing now how dog-friendly Skye really is, I am already planning a trip back in the summer. Those lockdown dreams might come true after all…

Is this the best Lexington boys' volleyball team ever? The postseason will tell.
'He was an inspiration,' Ale said of Matteo. 'I do look up to him, especially in the volleyball world. 'We've done a lot better than I thought we ever would . . . Just being able to be a part of the team that's ended up proving not just themselves, but other teams wrong, it's a blessing.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The team has built upon Matteo's foundation to foster a historic season, with hitters playing selflessly serving as a catalyst to the longest winning streak (17 matches) in program history, a stretch in which the Minutemen dropped just four sets. Advertisement 'Ale is our heavy hitter. He swings really hard into the block, high hands,' said junior Nic Sanchez de Rojas . 'Me and Nadav [ Vachtel ] play smarter and make fewer errors, but might get fewer kills. Having three players that have different play styles? I'm still learning from both Nadav and Ale, different little tricks and techniques or strategies to get kills, passing, or defense. Advertisement 'We can each learn from each other. Not all other teams have this opportunity.' Ale Luciani heating up in the first set for Lexington — AJ (@aj_traub) Added coach Marc Turiano : 'They see what the teams in the past have done and have a healthy respect for it, but they see they have the talent to be great and probably the best team in Lexington volleyball history. They see the path to getting there would be playing a team-based game.' Vachtel, a senior, completes the net trio driving the magical season. The team's depth keeps the players honest, constantly competing to retain their roles and staying ready if their name is called. 'The deepest team Lexington has ever had,' Vachtel said. 'As we saw in the Brookline game, Nic got injured . . . Two people on our bench stepped in and they performed as we needed to . . . and we won that set. Everyone can step in when we need them to and perform.' Adam Mann is a superutility man for the Minutemen. Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe Embodying that quality is junior Adam Mann , who barely touched a volleyball before high school but fell in love with it. Mann said he 'worked [his] butt off' to make varsity and has been the versatile piece that helps save the team when it needs a boost. He's always ready to jump in wherever he is needed: hitter, libero, defensive specialist, or anywhere else. 'When your spot is locked up, you may get a little lenient and don't have to work as hard,' he said. 'When you don't know what position you're going to play or when you're going to play . . . you're going to die on the court and work the hardest.

Though Matteo graduated, his mark on this trailblazing squad is evident. He convinced Vachtel to play and influenced Sanchez de Rojas to switch from soccer to club volleyball. He takes pride in his younger brother forging his own legacy. 'I wanted to be an inspiration for them, but I didn't think I was that big of one in that way,' Matteo said. 'To see it firsthand and hear it firsthand is really cool. I'm proud of myself and of them that they're having this success. I do hope that it comes to something really good.' As the Minutemen race towards the postseason, they have a newfound confidence. 'I think that up until [Brookline], people were looking at our record and strength of schedule and shrugging us off,' Sanchez de Rojas said. 'I think now people are thinking of us as a serious contender, and people will be scared of us entering the tournament. I think people will be like 'Oh no, I'm playing Lexington,' which is nice.'

Flight attendant issues important warning to people who fall asleep on planes
While it can be tempting to close your eyes while you're waiting for your flight to depart, a member of cabin crew has revealed why you should avoid having some shut-eye You might think that taking a snooze before your plane takes off is harmless, but a flight attendant has revealed a vital reason why you should avoid doing it on your next getaway. Catching a flight can be tiring, especially if you've woken up at 3am to get to the airport in plenty of time for your long-haul flight. The early starts can quickly catch up with you, and before you know it, you've drifted off while waiting for everyone to board the plane. But flight attendant, Ale Pedroza, who lives in Orlando, Florida, has revealed 'what not to do' on a flight - and top of her list is when not to nap. "Let's talk about things you shouldn't do on an airplane - coming from a flight attendant," she said in a TikTok video. "The first tip is try not to fall asleep before take off. I know travelling can be exhausting and sometimes you just want to get on an airplane and go straight to sleep." She continued: "So not only is it not good for your ears to fall asleep before take off but you also want to remember that taxiing is one of the most crucial phases of flights. You want to make sure that you are completely aware and completely awake in case of an emergency or in case you have to evacuate." Ale, who has worked in the industry for a decade, then shared tip number two. "Next is do not consume your own alcohol. It is against federal relations to consume your own alcohol because we do need to make sure that you are drinking responsibly. "And if you are drinking your own alcohol we can't really track that. It is a federal thing, it is not an airline thing." Serving your own alcohol on a plane is also banned in the UK. Finally, she concluded: "One of the most obvious ones is don't walk around barefoot on any airline or any airplane. If you decide to take your shoes off in your seat, that's a different story, but do not walk into the lavatory with bare feet. You never know what you are stepping on, and the floor is not always the cleanest!" It comes after air steward Tommy Cimato urged passengers not to wear shorts on a flight. The aviator turned video creator, who boasts more than 450,000 followers on his account @tommycimato, warned that wearing shorts can potentially pose a risk without you even realising it. READ MORE: Brits heading to Spain should make four checks now after Airbnb crackdown "Don't or try not to wear shorts when on an airplane. You never know how clean it's going to be, so if you're wearing trousers you're going to have fewer germs," he explained. Sharing other vital first-hand advice with his followers, Tommy went on: "Do not ever push the flush button or lever with your bare hands. It's honestly just unsanitary and it's pretty gross, so when you flush use a napkin or tissue. Don't forget to drink water and stay hydrated! You're going to want about 16 ounces for every flight that you go on. "Do not fall asleep or lean your head on the window. You're not the only person to do that and you don't know how many people or children have wiped their hands or other things all over the window. Don't feel afraid to let a flight attendant know that you're feeling sick. We are there to help so if you need food, water, or an air sickness bag then please feel free to let us know."

Tributes pour in for Italian scientist murdered, dismembered in Colombia
April 9 (UPI) -- Tributes trickled in from around the world to mourn the death of a scientist after parts of his dismembered body were found in Colombia. Alessandro Coatti, 42, was a London-based molecular biologist who worked at the Royal Society of Biology and was doing research while traveling in South America after eight years working in London as science policy officer before his promotion to senior science policy officer. "He was a passionate and dedicated scientist, leading RSB animal science work, writing numerous submissions, organizing events and giving evidence in the House of Commons," the Royal Society of Biology wrote in a statement. Parts of his dismembered body were found in a suitcase dumped in a stream on the outskirts of the Caribbean coast city of Santa Marta, a gateway to some of the most popular tourist destinations in Colombia. "Ale was funny, warm, intelligent, loved by everyone he worked with and will be deeply missed by all who knew and worked with him." According to reports, Coatti, an Italian national, inquired with a hotel worker about visiting the village of Minca and was conducting research on local animal species. He left the RSB at the end of last year to do volunteer work in Ecuador and travel South America. "This crime will not go unpunished," Carlos Pinedo Cuello, the mayor of Santa Marta, said on social media as he issued a reward for information leading to the capture of a suspect. "The criminals must know that crime has no place in Santa Marta," he said. "We will pursue them until they are brought to justice."
