Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Belfast: city of riveters, inventors, linen mill girls, boxers, pamphleteers, revolutionaries, Lambeg drummers, uilleann pipers, mission hall preachers and moustachioed burghers with fob watches. Some of these can still be seen, here and there, usually in ghostly form. Now you are more likely to find cocktail creators, urban farmers, NGO officials, tech specialists, muralists, political tour guides, ravers and Irish-language teachers.

Have you ever heard of “land subsidence”? For residents in certain coastal cities, land sinkage is a pressing issue. What causes sinking land, you ask? In the ten cities highlighted in this list, the phenomenon has less to do with natural climate cycles and almost everything to do with human activity: Buildings that are too heavy for the ground to support and people extracting too much groundwater are the main culprits.

The Conversation Africa

As South Africa reflects on 30 years of democracy, it’s important to ask whether its cities have changed for the better when it comes to racial mixing. During apartheid, South Africa’s residential development was segregated in law along racial lines. Black African residents were consigned to townships on the outskirts of cities while white residents lived in suburbs close to facilities and employment. This established negative spatial, economic and social outcomes among race groups.
