When Lake District shepherd James Rebanks' account of his life on the windswept fells was published last year, it became an instant and phenomenal bestseller.
His evocative paean to an existence that is fast disappearing, and his fascinating portrait of survival against the odds, is now available in paperback and this pastoral masterpiece should not be missed.
The latest incumbent of a family of Lakeland sheep farmers stretching back over 600 years, Rebanks was already a Twitter star under the name of The Herdwick Shepherd when his book brought him new fame. Simply by posting daily updates on his work with the sheep, the land and his sheepdogs, he had garnered over 60,000 avid followers.
In fact, Rebanks' name has now become so synonymous with the Lake District's hardy breed of sheep that he is currently helping to launch Go Herdwick, a scheme to raise funds for The Calvert Trust, a Keswick charity which specialises in adventure activities for people with disabilities.
Sixty life-size glass fibre models of Herdwick ewes are being sponsored by local businesses and will take up residence on the route from Keswick to Windermere from next month in a bid to raise £1.3m for the Trust's 40th anniversary.
Rebanks has about 500 of his own real-life Herdwicks on a fell farm in Matterdale in the north-east of the Lakes. The sheep go to the fells to graze on common land with neighbours who also graze the same mountains. It is an ancient way of farming that has disappeared almost everywhere else but still survives here.
The Shepherd's Life – part local history and part personal and family memoir – reveals how his work is ordered by the seasons and their different demands, and has been this way for hundreds of years.
A Viking would understand the work they do. 'A thousand years ago we were part of a Viking trading world,' writes Rebanks.
The Vikings would also recognise Rebanks' shepherding tradition of sending the sheep to the fells in the summer and making hay, the autumn fairs where flocks are replenished, the gruelling toil of winter when the sheep must be kept alive, and the light-headedness that comes with spring as the lambs are born and the sheep get ready to return to the fells.
But shepherding is tough, particularly on the merciless Lakeland fells where tragedies, like harvests ruined by rain and the devastating foot-and-mouth outbreak, can haunt families through several generations.
Immensely proud of his incredible heritage, Rebanks' modern dispatches from an ancient landscape speak loudly of his deep-rooted attachment to his place and his work, describing a way of life that is little noticed by outsiders and yet has profoundly shaped Lake District history.
The Shepherd's Life is a unique and riveting account of the realities of rural life and a fundamental connection with the land that most of us have lost over the centuries.
It is also Rebanks' personal homage to the people around him… his parents, his grandparents and his own children. They are part of the people who exist and endure even as the world changes around them, and Rebanks wouldn't have it any other way.

Public schools are integral to our state culture. So, what do public schools have to do with a proposed income tax cap? In short, everything. Education is our state's second highest budget expenditure. Each year, all of our well-earned income taxes are collected to fund the state—and over a third of that money goes directly toward our public education system. This is the money that pays our teachers, principals and counselors.
As it stands, our state income tax policy is already regressive. The current income tax rate clocks in at just below 5.5 percent, and we are one of only six states across the country that enforces a flat tax rate—we don't bracket our tax structure. Effectively, this means that Duke Energy CEO Lynn Good, who made more than $21 million in 2017, pays the same tax rate on her income as a public school teacher does.
In states like California and New Jersey—whose education systems are ranked 37 and 31 spots ahead of ours, respectively—income tax is bracketed by income level, with top brackets paying up to 13 percent in state income tax—nearly triple our flat rate. A top tax rate as high as 13 percent could buy computers, books, pencils and field trips for millions of K-12 students in North Carolina.
The problem with this amendment is that, in a time when more start-ups, researchers and well-established corporations are headquartering in our state, this constitutionally-backed income tax ceiling would only serve to intensify the chasm dividing rich and poor school districts.
In all honesty, my school district will be fine. I grew up in Chapel Hill, a wealthy district where the county will be able to raise property taxes enough to make up for the dismal lack in funding from the state. Last year, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools budget relied on over $10 million more in local revenue than state revenue.
Most districts, however, will not be so lucky should this amendment pass. Without redistribution efforts from the state, rural school districts will be left to fend for themselves as their urban neighbors' income levels soar. Families living in these districts will continue paying the flat income tax rate, but their districts will be unable to make up for disparate local funding levels.
This amendment will make poor schools poorer, and rich schools richer. We should be proud of our public education system. Income taxes aren't the most glamorous issue, but they will almost certainly make the difference between staggering inequality and prosperous, equitable growth.

European Union Effects on Tesco
European Union Effects on Tesco Essay Sample
Category: Tesco
Describe the impact of international factors on a selected business. M3 – assess the impact of changes in the global and European business environment on a selected business. Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement on Climate Change. The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This amounts to an average of five per cent over the five-year period 2008-2012.
The Protocol was initially adopted on 11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan, and entered into force on 16 February 2005. As of September 2011, 191 states had signed and joined the protocol. The only remaining signatory not to have joined the protocol is the United States. Other United Nations member states which did not ratify the protocol are Afghanistan, Andorra and South Sudan. In December 2011, Canada announced its departure from the Protocol.
Recognizing that developed countries are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG emissions in the atmosphere, the Protocol places a heavier burden on developed nations under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities."
An impact of the Kyoto Protocol has meant many businesses have had to amend their carbon footprint which in result will help them become more environmentally friendly. One Business that has been affected a lot is Tesco; they are supposedly using nearly four million tonnes of carbon a year.
Tesco supports the UK Government's position on climate change and the Kyoto Protocol and are doing their bit to lower their greenhouse emissions by participating in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme and Climate Change Levy. As part of the Trading Scheme they are committed to an absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over a five-year period at a control group of 118 stores, in return for a payment from the Government which is invested in further energy saving initiatives.
In 2009 Tesco opened there first zero – carbon store in Cambridgeshire, the store generates is own renewable energy using on-site renewable fuel. The store which is timber-framed rather than steel costs 30% more to build than others stores, however this does not bother Tesco as they know that this will be cost efficient as huge savings will be made on electricity and water bills. This will be done by using rain water to flush toilets and to wash the cars in the car wash while the refrigerators will have doors to save energy while also getting rid of harmful HFC refrigerant gases.
On the Tesco website they claim that their aim is to become a zero-carbon business by 2050. Another sign that they are making forward footsteps to do this was in 2010 when they installed over 500 PowerPerfector units at a cost of about 25m. Each unit will help a store save between 5 and 8% of its total energy usage which should equate to around 12m a year.
Tesco have established that an effective way to cut their carbon footprint is to self-generate energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. To do this they have set aside £500m which will be spent over the next five years on environmentally-friendly technologies such as these.
The Kyoto protocol clearly has already had a huge impact on Tesco as massive amounts of money have been pumped into the project in the aim of reducing first reducing its carbon footprint on stores by 50% in 2020. The fact that Tesco are actually doing this quickly rather than simply talking about it says a lot for the business, it proves that they see it as a serious matter that needs to be addressed.
The money being thrown into the project is astronomical amounts and Tesco deserve a lot of recognition for this, instead of focusing of expansion and investment back into the business they are using the money gained from profit on the reduction of their carbon footprint.
As a result of being environmentally friendly Tesco hope this could lead to a positive impact on sales in the business. Due to the fact Tesco's are now opening new zero carbon stores, this should change opinion and view that the members of the public have upon them as a company. Customers who themselves are also passionate about the state of the environmental issues may be aware of the fact that Tesco's are choosing to open new stores in a battle against the carbon footprint and sway towards shopping at Tesco as appose to another supermarket.
A second international factor that has had an effect on Tesco has been the EU legislation on employment. The EU was developed after the destruction of the Second World War; it is an economic and political union of 27 member states which are located primarily in Europe.
There are three main institutions that run the EU:
* The European Council
* The European Parliament
* The European Commission
The European Council
The European Council is an institution of the European Union. It comprises of all the EU leaders meeting at least twice every six months and is charged under the Treaty of Lisbon with defining "the general political directions and priorities" of the Union however it has no legislative power.
The European Parliament
The European Parliament is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union. Together with the European Council and the European Commission, it exercises the legislative function of the EU and it has been described as one of the most powerful legislatures in the world. Parliament is currently composed of 754 Members, who represent the second largest democratic electorate in the world.
The European Commission is one of the main institutions of the European Union. It looks after the interests of the EU as a whole. It puts together proposals for new European laws and then manages the day-to-day business of implementing EU policies and spending EU funds.

Both myself and my boyfriend had a lovely evening on the jazz boat last Tuesday. It was very romantic (candle lit, cosy tables), the food was good and the jazz trio provided good entertainment. I had booked the jazz boat for the Monday evening but we got so lost on the journey there we ended up missing it! Fortunately I called the next day and a helpful lady said it would be fine for us to come on Tuesday and that she had an even better table available for us than the one I had booked, which was perfect! Altogether it was a really nice evening and we really liked the complimentary drink we received once on board (was this grog?). The only bad comment I could make about the evening is that it perhaps went on for too long as we finished our three course meal and bottle of wine after the first hour and half and there was still an hour left on the boat. So I think 2 hours would be the perfect time on the boat instead of 2 and a half. Other than that it was a really enjoyable evening and we would probably do it again if we return to Prague!
I can honestly say the Jazz boat was a truly great experience. It was the most enjoyable evening of the entire trip and I have already been singing its praises to my friends and family and have recommended it to anybody visiting Prague.
The service was outstanding, we were never left with an empty glass while still not feeling overcrowded by the staff. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the band were great. I could not fault one thing about the evening.
I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff involved for a magnificent evening.
If I could also just make a suggestion though... One thing I noticed about Prague (which I'm sure many other tourists have) is that the taxi drivers are not always to be trusted. If you know of a reputable taxi firm, I think it would be a great idea to ask the guests if they would like a taxi to be at the docks waiting for them. This would be a great little 'added extra' and would ensure people don't get ripped off. We walked for about 10mins in the rain looking for a taxi, and I just think if it was possible, it would be nice to step off the boat and have a car waiting and not be afraid of paying over the odds.
But again, that is just a suggestion, and as I've said - the night was faultless.
děkujeme za Vaši práci, neboť koncert i vyjížďka po Vltavě, byly pro nás velmi milým zážitkem.
Určitě budeme Vaši nabídku, dále doporučovat a doufáme, že budeme moci ještě v budoucnu opětovně využít Vašich služeb.
Nous avons été heureux de la soirée du 12 novembre sur le Jazz boat.
L'accueil a été très agréable, le groupe de musiciens était excellent, avec un répertoire à la hauteur de nos attentes.
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié que les musiciens et les serveurs acceptent de faire un geste à l'intention d'un de nos amis qui fêtait son anniversaire.
Il a été très sensible.
Nous pouvons recommander chaleureusement votre adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent une soirée festive de qualité.
The welcoming was very friendly, the musicians were very good, with a high quality music, as we expected.
We have appreciate particulary that musicians and services accept spontaneously to do a special dedicace to our friend for his birthday.
We can recommand your adress to the tourists who want to have a nice and originnal moment with friends.
Thank you so much - we had a fantastic evening aboard the jazz boat (11th November). On a cold night the boat was warm and comfortable - clearly loved by its owners. We enjoyed a leisurely meal as we viewed your beautiful city from the water. We chose the jazz boat of course for the jazz and we were not disappointed - the trio was excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone, jazz fan or not!
Jazz boat exceeded my expectations and more. Entertainment was great but the food for me was the biggest surprise. It was excellent and all in all we ate and dined superbly. A fabulous night, in a wonderful relaxed environment. Thanks to everyone on board and involved in running the show.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We also brought along two friends and they both enjoyed it as well. The food was excellent as well as the music. The server was extremely attentive and we wanted for nothing. It was very comfortable and the ability to move around to take pictures of the city was an added bonus. It was November and a little cool, but none the less the experience was great. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your tour last Friday. My wife and I had a wonderful time during your cruise. It was truly a magic way to experience Prague. The band was very good and the waiters gave a great service. We will for sure recommend the Jazzboat to anyone who visits Prague.
This trip would not have been the same without the Jazz boat!
It was really amazing! The atmosphere was great and the music was very good. The three course is recommendable to everyone.
We have spent a lovely time on the boat. Next time we visit Prague again we will certainly take the Jazz Boat again.
Cheers to the band on Friday 5 November, the crew and the cook!
But we will recommand the jazzboat to friends, we had a great time!
My husband and I very much enjoyed our time on the Jazz Boat. The music was great, the food was very nice and we enjoyed the time. It was easy to find, prompt, etc. The views were lovely. The only negative (and it isn't anything major, nor is it something that you could change) is that we had reserved 2 seats at a table for 4 thinking that it would be fun to converse/interact with another couple. The couple at our table spoke only Russian, didn't order dinner and weren't very friendly. We ignored them and had a fun time regardless.
We were a group of 5 and we had a very enjoyable night.

Have you ever wanted to start an important conversation with someone about something you experienced with them but have not known where or how to start? Have you asked them if you could give them "feedback" – or, even, "critical feedback"? Have you tried to shore up the importance of your message by referencing nameless, multiple others that you've talked to who feel exactly the same way you do?
Language matters. Approach matters. There are probably more bad ways into conversation than good ways. Wanting to offer "critical feedback" is one way that is not that helpful. Referencing nameless others you've talked to who feel the same way you do is another. It infers, "I wouldn't even say anything except all these other people feel the same way I do." As if your own experience is not sufficient unless it is backed up by others.
The word feedback activates the same area in your brain as if you have just been slapped. And, in this case, not just feedback, but critical feedback. Critical feedback implies the experience was not good. Right away, the recipient of this kind of question is on the defensive. It is an immediate response, possibly even an amygdala hijack. We have to train ourselves to be receptive to the word feedback, which is why there are so many articles and posts about how to give and receive feedback. So many of us have had negative experiences with the word, including some of us who have experienced others offering "feedback" simply as a way to criticize or attack.
Referencing unnamed others suggests you are naming yourself as a spokesperson for others. With a not-for-profit client I worked with awhile ago that was experiencing a significant shift in its governance and operational models, a member of the board indicated "everyone" he had talked to was not in favour of the changes. In the 1000+ National membership, he had talked to three or four people – hardly representative of the overall membership which 90+% voted in favour of the changes.
It takes courage to stand up for your own voice and offer your own experience and it is far more powerful than appointing yourself "spokesperson" for others. "I've had multiple conversations with others," begs several questions. Did you approach them or did they approach you? What kinds of questions did you ask? Were you instigating a response? All immediate defensive postures.
As a recipient of this kind of approach, it takes discipline to step out of our own defensive responses when we do not yet even know what the other person wants to share with us, to be open to hearing, really hearing, what it is they want to share. And, this is even more difficult, though not impossible, if we have had prior experience with them that reinforces our first immediate response.
Imagining different conversational openings, I keep coming back to: "I wonder if… "Would you be willing to…. " as openers that evoke more curiosity and invitation than "Can I offer you critical feedback?" You can imagine some of your own.
Bottom line. Own your own experience and, before you ask, consider your language. How would you respond to the language you are choosing? And be honest with yourself because it is easy to rationalize our choice of words. What is the language you can choose that feels inviting into a conversation and exploration rather than sets the stage for defensive posture? Question your motives for the conversation. Do you really want a conversation or do you just want to state your own point of view or tell people what you think they did wrong?
Language matters. Pay attention to the language you choose and you will find more powerful ways into the conversations that matter to you.

Fat transfer is an option for treating signs of aging that involve a loss of volume. As we age, the loss of volume in the face and other areas of the body, such as the breasts and buttocks, results in wrinkles, lines, and sagging of the skin. In a fat transfer procedure, small amounts of the patient's fat are harvested, generally from the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. After undergoing a special treatment process, the fat is then injected into the areas to be treated. The increased volume creates a fuller, more youthful appearance. Using the patient's own fat cells avoids the risks of rejection or allergic reaction. In addition to treating signs of aging, fat transfer is an option for patients with scars or areas of the face or body that are sunken or depressed due to illness or injury.
This minimally invasive procedure can usually be performed on an outpatient basis with a local anesthetic. The areas of treatment may appear swollen or bruised for one to two weeks following the procedure. There may also be some swelling and bruising in the areas where the fat was harvested. Patients can generally resume normal activities immediately.

Rio de Janeiro has a little of everything for a traveler: luxury hotels, nightlife, samba, soccer, forests, and much more. But perhaps the city's greatest attraction is its beaches. The beaches of Rio de Janeiro are not just beautiful; they're also a place to soak in Brazilian beach culture. This is where Cariocas love to relax with friends and family, sunbathing, playing futevolei, and enjoying an ice cold beer or coconut water. Expect crowds on the weekends, but look for some of the city's lesser-known beaches on weekdays when you just might find few visitors despite being in a city of 7 million.

One of the city's best-known beaches is Ipanema, made famous worldwide with the Bossa Nova classic "Girl from Ipanema." Located along the luxury apartment buildings of the neighborhood of the same name, Ipanema beach is perhaps the chicest beach in the city. Both safer and cleaner than its neighbor, Copacabana, Ipanema beach is a great place to catch the sunset but not for swimming due to the undertow and large waves here.
Continue to 2 of 7 below.
Praia da Copacabana (Copacabana Beach) is where the action is. This long stretch of beach runs along the Copacabana neighborhood of high rise apartment buildings and hotels. This is where locals and tourists alike come to play. Come here to watch Cariocas relaxing and playing beach sports both in the day and evening (the beach is lit and has a police presence, making it a relatively safe option).

This crescent-shaped beach is located just a short drive past Barra da Tijuca southwest of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Come here for the clean sand and water, natural beauty and tranquility, especially on weekdays. The nearby fish restaurants are a great choice for lunch.
One way to get to Prainha and a series of nearby beaches is on the Surf Bus, which runs on weekends and holidays and costs about $10 each way.

This long stretch of white sandy beach spans about 8 miles, and thanks to its sheer size, it's less crowded and cleaner than some of the city's better-known beaches. Check out kiosk number 1, where a young, in-the-know crowd tends to gather. Despite its location outside the city center, Barra da Tijuca will be at the center of the action in 2016 when many Olympic events will take place here.
Praia Vermelha

This small beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro sits under Morro da Urca, one of the granite slabs next to Sugarloaf Mountain. Due to the fact that the beach is protected by the hills, the water here is generally calm, but it's the views of the surrounding hills that are this beach's main attraction.
Praia de Grumari (Grumari Beach) is located about 20 kilometers west of the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Thanks to this beach's location outside the city and inside a nature reserve, you'll find a rustic beach, one that's cleaner and more peaceful beach than those inside the city (except on weekends when locals pack this beach in an effort to get away from the city).
To get here, you can take a public bus from the city to the nearby Recreio dos Bandeirantes. If you drive, you'll need to take a small winding road past the beach of Prainha.
Ruy Barbosa Pinto/Getty Images
Leme is actually a section of Copacabana Beach, located along the easternmost kilometer of Copacabana. This section is a bit calmer than the rest of Copacabana, meaning that you'll see families relaxing here along with the more fashionable locals and tourists. Grab a beach snack or coconut water at one of the beach kiosks and settle in to soak in the views of the nearby morros (granite hills that bookend the beaches) and locals playing soccer.

Unemployment in Latin America and the Caribbean down slightly in 2018
After increasing for three years, unemployment in Latin America and the Caribbean dipped slightly in 2018, according to the ILO's Labour Overview 2018. But there is uncertainty about future trends, amid slow growth, high volatility and concerns about the high rate of youth unemployment.
Press release | 18 December 2018
LIMA (ILO News) – The forecast unemployment rate in Latin America and the Caribbean fell slightly to 7.8 per cent in 2018, compared to 8.1 per cent in 2017, reversing a three-year trend of rising unemployment, the ILO said in its Labour Overview 2018 regional report.
"In a context of slow economic growth, the improvement in the unemployment rate has been modest," said ILO interim Regional Director Carlos Rodriguez, adding that there is a need "to increase the speed at which we generate more and better jobs". He pointed out that the latest figures, which are based on data collected in the first nine months of 2018, mean that some 25 million women and men in the region are unemployed.
There is a need to increase the speed at which we generate more and better jobs."
Carlos Rodriguez, ILO interim Regional Director
ILO Regional Economist Hugo Ñopo warned that youth unemployment in the region was at alarming levels. One in five of those aged 14-25 were looking for but failing to find work.
The report also highlights the need to step up efforts to reduce gender inequality in the world of work. Women's labour force participation rate remained constant in the first nine months of 2018, at 50.3 per cent, which is 20 percentage points below that for men. In the same period the unemployment rate for women reached 10 per cent, compared with 7.3 per cent for men.
While the average unemployment rate for the region fell, at national level it increased in 10 countries and fell in seven. The decrease in the regional rate was largely driven by an improvement in Brazil – home to 40 per cent of the region's economically active population – which saw its unemployment rate fall by 0.6 percentage points.
Real minimum wages increased both regionally and in 12 of the 16 countries that provided data.
The report says one million jobs could be created if an International Monetary Fund forecast for 2.2 per cent growth in 2019 is realized. But it also warns that future trends in the region remain uncertain, amid labour market vulnerability to political, trade and investment fluctuations.
The Labour Overview marks its 25th anniversary this year, at a time when the ILO is gearing up to mark its Centenary, starting in January 2019.

The Coronavirus and my family
I have just sat and watched the BBC news, seeing Captain Tom Moore completing his 100th lap of his garden to raise money for the NHS. In doing this he has raised over 12 millions pound, what a man. It made me think that there is good to come from the difficulties that are happening around the world right now and also that I haven't written about it on the blog.
The Coronavirus is effecting the world right now and my family like everyone else is suffering. My Hubby is a key worker so is still going out to work to do his bit to keep our country running. As soon as he gets home from work he showers before any cuddles or kisses, which effects our six year old the most, she is a real Daddies girl. We cannot see friends and family, but that's ok because by staying home is keeping them, us and everyone around us safe until we can see them again. I cannot wait to be sat in my Hubby's Aunty and Uncles garden enjoying sipping champagne with them both.
We have friends who are currently self isolating because their little girl has got a cough and high temperature, they live in our village and their families are miles away. So we have been helping ensure they have food and rum (apparently its an essential in their house) along with picking up prescriptions for them. Leaving it on the door step and letting them know its there. We are more than happy to help.
We also live miles around from our direct family, however my Hubby's Aunty and Uncle live in our village, so each time we have been shopping we have been making sure they have everything they need. Even though they are able to go out, if it saves them one trip to the local shop or the super market then we want to help.
Our Coronavirus world right now
I have been seeing lots of posts on Facebook about what is happening in England right now, so I thought I would share it on here.
Queen Elizabeth II addressed the nation at 8pm on Sunday 5th April. Shortly after this the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to hospital himself with Covid-19. The Prime Minster was put into intensive care and came home from hospital on Sunday 12th, Easter Sunday.
The PM had previously implemented a lockdown across the country on the evening of Monday 23rd of March 2020.
Excel in London is now known as the NHS Nightingale and will be a hospital for up to 4,000 patients, most of whom are on ventilators suffering from Coronavirus (Covid-19). Opened by Prince Charles at 11am Friday 3rd April. Similar venues are being set up in cities across the country, in Manchester and Birmingham.
Every house got a letter from the Prime Minister to explain the importance of staying at home to protect the NHS.
Rainbows began popping up in windows on homes and shops all over the country, to show that there will be rainbows after the storm.
Community support groups established, to support the vulnerable, elderly, immunocompromised and people in enforced isolation due to exposure, in their community.
From Thursday 26th March at 8pm and every Thursday night thereafter, people stood united on their doorsteps, balconies and open windows and applauded and cheered for all the amazingly brave NHS staff who so courageously and selflessly battled on to try and save as many lives as possible. Our local retained fire brigade got involved and travelling round the village with lights on as a mark of respect.
Petrol price close to home was £1.08 per litre for diesel, the cheapest its been in over a decade.
Schools closed on Friday 20 March, potentially for the remainder of the school year. Parents were home schooling and teachers were doing remote learning using apps like Seesaw and work that schools have sent home. Schools remained open for key workers children.
Social distancing measures required a minimum of 2 meters is required everywhere you go.
Tape on the floors of shops to help distance shoppers from each other.
Our local co-op is only allowing 2 people in to shop at any one time. Limited number of people were allowed inside stores, queuing outside the store doors, still 2 meters apart
Non-essential stores and businesses mandated to close, clothes shops, restaurants, pubs.
People are shopping locally, using the butchers and bakers, small local shops and business. We have been buying as much as we can from local shops. The small gardens centres are offering delivery so we have been able to buy plants to keep us busy but also to ensure they are able to continue to trade. I really hope this continues when everything returns to 'normal' but I feel like it might be a new normal.
People who can are instructed to work from home.
The Government paid 80% of wages to all employees across the country who were furloughed due to Covid-19 and set up grants for many self employed people. Mortgage companies offered a payment holidays to those who are effected without it causes damage to credit ratings.
Every airline grounded either all or at least 85% of its fleet. All crew were grounded and some used their skills to work for the NHS in Nightingale Hospital, the Ambiance Service, 111 telephone handlers or community support.
Most of BA's planes were parked at Bournemouth Airport in a long row. A sight not seen since WWII.
Air pollution improved. Rivers cleaned up. City & traffic emissions reduced. Animals are seen in towns and villages across the world, dolphins and fish are returning to rivers. Venice canals are running clear, with fish being seen there for the first time in years. Our world is recovering from years of pollution while everyone is on lock down.
Parks, trails, entire cities closed or restricted to locals who can get there by foot. Not permitted to drive anywhere to exercise. Allowing one form of exercise per day.
Entire sports seasons cancelled. No Wimbledon, no end to the Premiership, no Boat Race, no London Marathon. A virtual Grand National was held on 4th April 2020.
Olympics postponed to 2021.
Concerts, tours, festivals, entertainment events all cancelled.
Weddings, family celebrations, holiday gatherings all cancelled or reduced to only those in your house hold. Funerals are limiting the number of people who can attend.
Families got creative and found entertaining ways of passing time by doing Tik-Tok videos or going Live on Facebook.
Singers and bands played live sets on their driveways or on their balconies for all to hear, lots of celebrities are singing together streaming live.
Households that can't see their friends and loved ones come together across the country by using Zoom or House Party to play games or host pub quiz nights.
No masses, churches are closed. Many places of worship are going live on social media.
No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more, then 10 or more. Now, Don't socialise with anyone outside of your home.
Children's outdoor play parks are closed.
Shortage of masks, gowns, gloves for our front-line workers.
Stay safe and stay home
Shortage of ventilators for the critically ill in many parts of the world. Formula 1 racing teams and Virgin Galactic designed and produced ventilators in the space of a week.
Panic buying sets in and we have limits on toilet paper, disinfecting supplies, paper towels, staple foods, hand sanitiser.
Manufacturers, distilleries and other businesses switch their lines to help make visors, masks, hand sanitiser and PPE. Lots of people wth 3D printers have been producing masks for care home workers and the NHS.
Fines are being issued by the police for breaking lockdown rules.
Stadiums and recreation facilities overseas open up for the overflow of Covid-19 patients and Public Park areas turned into caravan parks for stranded tourists to self isolate.
Press conferences daily from the PM and other government officials. Daily updates on new cases, recoveries, and deaths.
People wearing masks and gloves outside.
Essential service workers are terrified to go to work.
Medical field workers are afraid to go home to their families, with some staying in hotels offered for NHS workers to stay in so they stay away from their families.
This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, WHO declared March 11th, 2020.
We continue to stay at home to protect our NHS and front line key workers, so they can keep our country running as safe.
Having my Hubby go to work and possibly needing to deal with people who have Covid-19 or who are carrying, makes me worried about who he is bringing home. We are doing everything we can to minimise our exposure and risk, not just for us but for everyone else.
We are happy, we are healthy, we have food in the house and a wage, we are lucky to be in this position, so many are not.
We have so much we need to appreciate that we take for granted.
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other, love one another, support everyone.

Oberammergau Passion Play 'inter-religiously triumphant'
by Leonard Swidler
May 10 media rehearsal of the famous Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany (CNS photo)
I saw the Oberammergau Passion Play (first performed in 1634) for the sixth time last August – and it was superb! It was profoundly moving, stunningly professionally performed, esthetically sweeping – and inter-religiously triumphant!
I say the latter not at all lightly, for I have been working closely with the play directors, the town officials, the Archdiocese of Munich (the head of which for several years was my former colleague at the University of Tübingen Catholic Theology faculty, Pope Benedict XVI), the German Bishops' Conference, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith (ADL), and the American Jewish Committee (AJC) – for over thirty years!
It was in 1979 Rabbi Leon Klenicki of the ADL approached me saying that in their conversations with Mayor Fink of Oberammergau they asked him whether he would welcome an analysis of the Passion Play for its depiction of Jews and Judaism by a Christian scholar of the field. He said, yes. Since I had been working in Jewish-Christian relations for 20 years already, I was asked by Klenicki if I would come to Oberammergau with a team from the ADL to meet with the decision-makers of the village, investigate the play in all its dimensions, and come up with such an analysis and recommendations to eliminate any anti-Judaic elements that might be found in it. I said yes, and persuaded my friend and colleague on the faculty of Temple University Department of Religion, Gerard Sloyan, a Catholic New Testament scholar–and Catholic priest–to join me in the analysis.
We went to the 1980 production, and talked with all concerned and then produced our report and recommendations for the next production, due on the 350th anniversary of the play, in 1984 [Oberammergau Passionspiel 1984–Das Oberammergauer Passionspiel 1984. New York: Anti -Defamation League, 1980; and later: The Passion of the Jew Jesus (Das Leiden des Juden Jesus) New York: Anti-Defamation League, 1984]. It was difficult to get any serious hearing of our concerns by the then play director for the 1980 production. However, the 1984 production was a significant improvement over its predecessors.
Thereafter a real revolution took place in the village political leadership, and also in the two new, young play directors, Christian Stückl and Otto Huber. They were sensitive to the portrayals of Jesus and the other Jews and the Romans and worked hard to eliminate remaining negative images of Jews and Judaism, and to highlight the fact that, among other things, the final days of Jesus were about Roman politics and disputes among Jews about the best way to be Jewish (Sadduccees, Pharisees, Essenes, Zealots, Hellenists, followers of Rabbi Yeshua ha Notzri [Jesus of Nazareth]) – not a struggle between Jews and Christians; there weren't any "Christians" yet.
Huge progress was made in the 1990 production. Even so, there was still resistance from elements on the village council. However, by the time of the 2000 production Stückl had become such a famous theater director in Germany that he and Huber had almost free rein to cut out any remaining nuances of negativity in the portrayal of Jews and Judaism, and enhance even further the quality of the struggle leading to the death of Jesus being a struggle internal to Judaism rather than between Christians and Jews.
The 2010 Passion Play goes far beyond the elimination of all Jewish negative stereotypes, making it overwhelmingly clear that Jesus was caught up in a political power struggle between the Jewish leaders who held their power at the sufferance of Rome in the person of its Prefect Pontius Pilate (Philo, an older contemporary, described him as "inflexible, stubborn, of cruel disposition. He executed troublemakers without a trial," and referred to his "venality, violence, thefts, assaults, abusive behavior, endless executions, endless savage ferocity."). In the 2010 play Pilate, wears a soldier's armor, arrogantly tells the High Priest Caiphas that he had better take care of the upstart Jesus – or else.
Perhaps the most amazing change in this production is the positively blatant Jewishness of Jesus and all his followers. He and his followers often pray – in Hebrew! – covering their heads with a talis and holding the Torah scroll up high. At one point the crowd of hundreds on stage with Jesus in the lead all sing the central prayer of Judaism in Hebrew, the Shema Israel, "Hear oh Israel, Yahweh your God is one!"
All of the characters come across as humanly believable, not cardboard cutouts. This is true especially of Judas, who like Peter denied his leader, but unlike him fell into despair rather than hope (he was the only player to receive a spontaneous applause at the end of his major soliloquy). But most of all the human believableness of Jesus stands out. One person in the audience said to me afterward, "This is a Jesus who is believable for modern persons!" Jesus clearly loved the people around him, touching and embracing them, including women. His scene of near despair in Gethsemane was heart wrenching.
The frequent use of a huge chorus (much like a Greek chorus), draining meaning out of the Hebrew biblical tableaux and pouring it into the following scene was managed exquisitely. And the music – either Mozart-like from the early 19th century Rochus Dedler or newly composed by Markus Zwink – was stunningly perfect in matching the action on stage.
All together, the 2010 Oberammergau Passion Play is as positive an esthetic/spiritual experience as possible for Christians of the suffering and death of their Founder as a Jewish Rabbi who had both supporters and opponents among his fellow Jews, and finally was murdered by the Romans in typical Roman execution manner – crucifixion.

Children as young as 9 and 10 years of age are being subjected to bullying in local schools, a seminar on bullying held in Longford town last week heard.
22 year old Vicky McEnery from Co Westmeath spoke eloquently about how bullying made her secondary school years a complete misery. Vicky told a story of consistent verbal harassment that sometimes veered into physical bullying. She also outlined how the bullying had affected her personally and of how it continued even after she spoke out on national television. A second year student at university, Vicky now travels the length and breadth of the country to speak about her experience in the hope of helping others.
From the floor on the night, two local parents outlined how bullying had a serious effect on their children. In both cases, they felt that their children's schools had not done enough to tackle the issue. In both cases, the expert panel said these were the typical stories that they are hearing all over the country.
One of the most disturbing contributions on the night was from a local youth worker who told the meeting that girls from fifth and sixth class in local schools are posting pictures of themselves in their underwear online. This comment drew gasps of shock from the floor as the youth worker went on to explain how he tries to warn young people about this behaviour and its implications, particularly in terms of attracting predators.
In his presentation, Stephen James Minton spoke of the role of parents in addressing bullying by their children and/or bullying of their children.
He explained the signs and symptoms they should be looking for such as: the child being anxious or distressed but refusing to say why; unexplained cuts and bruises; damage to clothes, school equipment; complaints of stomach aches or headaches; problems sleeping; reluctance to go to school and changes in mood or behaviour. Parents who find out their children are being bullied automatically begin to fire questions at their children such as who is behind the bullying, how long is it going on but Dr Minton warned against this urging a more "gentle, patient approach". "Reassure the child that it is the bully that has the problem," he cautioned adding that "normal, happy people don't bully".
He urged parents to teach their child coping skills but not to encourage their children to fight back physically. "Humour, silence or an assertive response such as standing up for oneself in a non-aggressive way may well prevent a further attack," he said. He underlined the importance of building up a child's self-esteem.
Monica Monaghan founded the Anti-Bullying Coalition as a response to her own experience at the hands of bullies as a young teacher. She outlined a new initiative underway called OK Kids, which will essentially see schools who take part in an anti-bullying programme receive a plaque and accreditation in the same way as the Green Schools programme works. This programme is being piloted in Roscommon with the support of Roscommon VEC at the moment and Ms Monaghan is looking for other schools to take part in this pilot.
She spoke at length about the role in schools in dealing with bullying. She told the audience that she felt the current guidelines in place for schools were "unsafe" as they were 20 years old and she welcomed the fact that new guidelines are being introduced in schools for the coming school year. "It is costing the country a fortune to mop up after this," she said of the bullying problem, adding that there had been a "lack of joined-up thinking" on the issue.


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has registered over 300,000 candidates for its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in one week. The Board's Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.
Benjamin said that this was coming a week after the commencement of the registration exercise.
According to him, the registration so far has been seamless, and the board is happy with the development.
"We are happy with the way the process is going; we hope it will continue this way.
"So far, we have registered over 300,000 candidates as at Thursday.
"We are happy there have not been issues because so far, there is just a tiny gap between the number of candidates that have acquired the e-pin and that of those that have registered," he said.
Meanwhile JAMB had insisted that all candidates with issues of biometrics must go over to Abuja for it to be rectified.
"I want to reiterate the fact that only the Registrar of the board has the sole right to attend to such issues.
"Any candidate who may have issues with the capturing of his or her finger prints at their respective points of registration will need to come down to our office in Abuja.
"This will require the Chief Executive to do it himself for the purpose of security," Benjamin said.
This, however, was contrary to calls by some stakeholders urging the board to set up special centres in every state of the country to tackle issues.

Q: Double Integral $\int_{0}^{4a}\int_{y^2/4a}^{y}\frac{x^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2}dxdy$ to polar coordinates $$\displaystyle \int_{0}^{4a}\int_{y^2/4a}^{y}\frac{x^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2}\  \mathrm dx\ \mathrm dy$$
I wanted to solve this double integral using polar coordinates but unfortunately, I am not able to get the right limits. Please help
My Try:
The integral gets reduced to somehow
$$\large \int_{?}^{?}\int_{0 ?}^{4a ?}r\cos2\theta\ \mathrm  dr\ \mathrm d\theta $$
Can someone explain this via graph ? I am not sure why 90 degrees upper limit

A: We should write restrictions for set on $xy$ plane in polar coordinates, which gives
$$\begin{cases}0 \leqslant r\sin\alpha \leqslant 4a \\
\frac{r^2\sin^2 \alpha}{4a}  \leqslant r \cos \alpha \leqslant r\sin\alpha
\end{cases}$$
So, additionally to being in first quadrant, we obtain $\tan \alpha \geqslant 1$, from right side of second line, i.e. $\alpha \geqslant \frac{\pi}{4}$, and $r \leqslant \frac{4a \cos \alpha}{\sin^2 \alpha}$ from left side. For integral we have
$$\int\limits_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{4a \cos \alpha}{\sin^2 \alpha}}$$

The Mantle of Maturity
A History of Ideas About Character Development
Christie W. Kiefer - Author
SUNY series in Medical Anthropology
ISBN10: 0-88706-821-9
ISBN13: 978-0-88706-821-8
Kiefer presents a comprehensive overview of the key historical concepts of developmental psychology—maturity and maturation. The result of this historical focus is a view of maturity that accounts for both the social forces shaping beliefs and the social consequences of those beliefs. Here is a bridge between developmental psychology, history, and contemporary society.
The author begins by presenting his view of the role of ideas in history and the importance of the idea of moral maturity in psychological science, as well as in the process of understanding self. The history of maturity as a moral ideal is presented, beginning with primitive society. Key features of Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and modern Western society that have influenced ideas of maturity are considered in turn. In part II, Kiefer examines beliefs about the actual process of growth and development from earlier, nonliterate society and into the present. Attempts to unite the philosophic and scientific concepts of development are discussed, such as the Platonic "path of love" as represented by Carol Gilligan, the Aristotelian "path of reason" by Lawrence Kohlberg, and Freud's "path of conflict." Cultural-historical explanations are sought for the particulars of these interplays.
In the concluding section, Plato's "four indestructible stagesň of maturity and implications of modern life for the attainment of these stages are evaluated. Kiefer makes a plea for an historically self-conscious psychology. By bringing together concepts from anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and history, the author presents a synthetic view of maturing that has fundamental applications in the fields of human development, social gerontology, philosophy, and psychotherapy.
"This is really brilliant and well executed. The historical chapters are quite good. The work raises a number of questions about ethical and moral dilemmas with significance far beyond the borders of any one academic discipline. The fact that the approach is broad and transdisciplinary speaks to the public significance of the topic." — Robert L. Rubinstein
Christie W. Kiefer is Associate Professor of Anthropology in the Human Development and Aging Program at the University of California at San Francisco.

Indus Energy is an oil and gas exploration company with projects in Alberta, Canada and South Sumatra, Indonesia.
Indus has signed a binding Terms Sheet with First Nations Exploration Company, Keyano Pimee Exploration Company Limited to farm-in to 82,290 acres of Cold Lake oil sands in Alberta, Canada.
The Ranau PSC Area is large (2,191km2) and virtually unexplored.
Gas and oil shows in surrounding wells in conjunction with observed oil seeps are evidence of a proven petroleum system in the area. Significantly, an adjacent well recorded log and pressure data confirming a 107m gross gas column within the primary Talang Akar Formation reservoir.
ta adjacent to the Ranau PSC shows potential Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs), providing strong support for widespread occurrences of oil and gas in this area.
These surrounding sub-Basins that are the source of the oil and gas extend into the Ranau area as the Ratu and Jaya sub-Basins.


We all have friends who are crazy about sport – some can't do without their training session in the gym, while others can't resist the charm of an open-air run in any season and any weather. Now that Christmas is approaching, it is definitely a good time to show how much we appreciate their sporting spirit and leave something suitable for them under the tree. And if your friend is a fan of technology and smartphones as well, so much so that they can't do without them during a training session, then you have the perfect combination. Let's see then what the best Cellularline sports accessories are for your Christmas gift list.
The latest products from Cellularline, Easyfit Talk and Easyfit HR, are two simple and intuitive fitness trackers, ideal for keeping track of all daily physical activity. Featuring touchscreen displays, Easy Fit Talk and Easyfit HR give you readouts of steps taken, calories consumed and sleep tracking, as well as a practical distance travelled indicator. What sets these two new fitness trackers apart is their additional functions: Easyfit HR has a heart-rate display, ideal for those who want to keep track of their pulse throughout their training session, from warm-up to cool-down. Easyfit Talk, on the other hand, turns into a practical mono Bluetooth earphone when required: just remove the display from the wristband and activate the clip to allow you to converse while moving freely. Both wristbands also allow you to keep track of email and social-media notifications, as well as notifying you of incoming calls and activating your smartphone camera. In short, either would be the ideal present for your sport-mad friends to find under the Christmas tree.
If you have friends who like to continue running outdoors even throughout winter, we have the perfect Christmas present for them. Earband Running is the new sports headband with integrated stereo headphones which allows you to train while enjoying music to keep your energy levels up. Made of breathable and washable material, it is ideal for those who love to retain complete freedom of movement while training. With two different colours available, you can choose which will make the best statement underneath the Christmas tree.
Another perfect accessory to give your sports-mad friends at Christmas is the brand-new Armband Flex, the perfect accessory for holding a smartphone during workouts. The armband is made of a breathable and washable material, and it is available in two different sizes depending on arm size. It also features a practical hole to allow you to connect your headphones so you can train with your favourite music.
Finally, let's talk about music and sport. As we know, many studies have confirmed that listening to music during physical activity has enormous benefits not only for athletic performance but also for our mood. This is why Bluetooth earphones are undoubtedly among the perfect Christmas presents for sports lovers. Cellularline offers a choice of two different models: Scorpion in-ear pro and Scorpion on-ear. Both of these stereo earphones feature a convenient and practical flexible earhook and exterior controls for the audio, as well as IPX3 certification – resistant to both rain and sweat, they are therefore ideal for either indoor or outdoor training. Once your friend has received this fantastic gift, all they will need to do is create their perfect playlist and let themselves be carried along by the energy of their favourite music!


Tarpon Springs, Florida: Shelby Nealy, a man accused of killing his ex-wife's parents and brother after they began to suspect that he had also killed her ambushed them with a hammer just before Christmas, according to newly released court documents.
Investigators eventually tracked Shelby Nealy, 25, to Lakewood, Ohio, thanks in part to a pizza he had delivered to the home of Richard and Laura Ivancic after the couple and their adult son Nicholas were bludgeoned on Dec. 15 and 16, court records said. Their bodies weren't discovered until New Year's Day, after the older son of Richard Ivancic contacted authorities when he couldn't reach his father. Nealy was arrested Jan. 3, with his two children, ages 2 and 3, in a vehicle stolen from his former mother-in-law.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Nealy was extradited to Florida on Saturday and faces three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of grand theft. He's being held without bond. Nealy hasn't yet been charged in the death of Jamie Ivancic, who authorities believe was killed in January 2018. Her remains were found in the days after Nealy's arrest.
Nealy confessed to investigators, and said he killed the Ivancics after they began getting suspicious because they had not talked to her in nearly a year, records show. Detectives said Nealy used his ex-wife's phone to send text messages and pictures of their two young children to her parents.
Investigators pieced together a timeline of what happened at the Ivancic's home in Tarpon Springs, which is near Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast. Police haven't said whether he broke into the home, or was invited in. But records show he attacked Richard Ivancic, 71, on Dec. 15. When Laura Ivancic, 59, returned home, she was attacked in the kitchen with the same hammer. Investigators said Nealy wrapped the two bodies in rugs and put them in the bedroom.
Later that evening, Nicholas Ivancic, 25, came home and was asleep on the sofa when he was killed early on Dec. 16, records show. The family's three dogs were also killed.
The complaint details evidence detectives used to track Nealy, including video that captured him buying supplies used in the killings at a nearby Home Depot and selling jewelry at pawn shops between Dec. 16 and 18. He used his fingerprint to complete those transactions, records show.
Detectives said Nealy used his phone to order a Domino's pizza, which was delivered to the Ivancic's home Dec. 21.
The children are now in state custody.


For one of the sequences in my film the robots enter their virtual world. these are some concepts of what the space could be. As this space is not a real physical space i wanted the Aesthetic to be entirely different from the real world. I chose a cathedral because with any culture, religion or race churches/Temples/cathedrals are often the most elaborate intense and interesting spaces.
More specifically I chose a gothic looking church because the structures are highly optimised, and as the space would be defined by the of the robots, who I'm assuming calculations are all made on maths and logic their designs would be based on optimised formula and fractal iterative geometries. the link with nature came from the idea that much of nature e.g. trees/coral have highly optimised structures and i wanted to move away from the urbane grit i had created,although everything i make ends ups being a bit gritty!!!


You are here: Home / NZ Highlights / North Island New Zealand / Auckland Region / I have flown into Auckland – What now?
Auckland Airport is the gateway to New Zealand, it is about 40 minutes from Downtown Auckland, and it is easy to get an airport bus directly to the city if you are going to spend a few days there. Like many great cities, you do not need a car to get around and explore.
However one of the things I recommend to women is to make use of the Auckland Airport Car Rental – hire a car and drive straight through Auckland to the north. 1.5 hours north of the Bridge is one of my favourite places in the world – a small town called Waipu.
Stay somewhere near the beach, and relax and recover from that jet lag. Walk along the Waipu Coastal Trail, enjoy lunch at the Waipu Deli, check out the unique scottish story of this settlement in the Waipu Museum, your could even have a go at Scottish Country Dancing in the hall on Monday nights.
Waipu is not a tourist trap – it is where kiwis holiday, and it is the perfect place to recover from your trip and immerse yourself in real kiwi living.
Only one in five visitors to New Zealand head north of Auckland, but even though it's landscape was not part of the Lord of the Rings, there is something magical about it.
Go snorkelling on the Poor Knights Islands on A Perfect Day – one of the top sub tropical dive spots in the world.
Visit the very top of NZ – Cape Reinga – a place of great beauty and cultural significance. It is a long way to drive, so I suggest catching the bus from either the Bay of Islands or Dargaville, that way you get to go one way driving on the beach.
Stay at the Copthorne in Omapere one of my favourite hotels – right on the harbour. Don't bother about the swimming pool, in the morning just dive into the harbour.
Next day as you drive south, walk in again for a daylight view of Tane Mahuta – the God of the Forest.
At Matakohe visit the Kauri Museum to find out more about the history of Kauri, one of the worlds largest trees.

Weather - Clear Creek Fire
On July 8, 2000 lightning struck a dry area deep in Clear Creek on the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho. The fire that started wasn't noticed until July 10. Ninety minutes passed before 8 helitack personnel set out, but by then 10 acres were already engulfed in flames and being fanned by 25-mph winds. The next morning the fire had spread to 30 acres, and by evening it had reached 150-200 acres.
On July 14 the fire seemed to have exploded. Fanned by 50-60 mph winds, the raging fire ran 8 miles from Clear Creek up the main Salmon River's south side to Pine Creek. The road there usually allows travelers' access, but it had to be closed to the public. On July 18 the fire had grown up to 39,000 acres, but things weren't any closer to getting better. By July 23 the fire had grown to 40,000 acres and 800 people were doing all they could to put it out. By September 18 it had reached 206,379 acres, but 85 percent had been contained. Cooler temperatures and higher humidity helped the 1585 people, 14 helicopter, 18 engines and 7 dozers trying to contain the fire. Finally, on October 13, the fire was contained thanks to recent rain and snow. It was maintained by air and land until it was finally under control.

Ah, it was so hot today, walking to Poule d'Or headquarters I saw a bird putting sunblock on his worm! Surreal, but then again, it's August. In the meantime The Linedots happened. The UK duo went ahead and pulled this giant of a rabbit out of their hats. Small Talk has great driving vocals and perfectly stacked layers of synths that make it hard to believe that there are less than 160 persons on this planet that hit Like when visiting their facebook page. So good this. Team Poule says, this is a big one.

El Paso shooting suspect might face death penalty, officials say
Matt Zdun @matt_zdun
Aug 4, 2019 at 12:45 PM Aug 4, 2019 at 4:05 PM
EL PASO — The El Paso shooting suspect faces capital murder charges and will be eligible for the death penalty, El Paso County District Attorney Jaime Esparza said at a news conference Sunday.
"We will seek the death penalty," Esparza said. "The loss of life is so great we have never seen anything like this in our community."
Authorities on Sunday officially identified the suspect as 21-year old Patrick Crusius, who could also face a spate of federal charges.
U.S. District Attorney John Bash said that the Justice Department is "seriously considering" bringing federal hate crime and federal firearm charges against the suspect, as well as "treating this as a domestic terrorism case."
"The key factor is it appears to be an intent to coerce or intimidate a civilian population," Bash said.
RELATED: What we know about the victims of the El Paso shooting
As officials distributed mugshots of the suspect at the media briefing, they said Crusius was cooperating with police.
"He basically didn't hold anything back," said El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen.
