Mr. Hoppy is a shy old man who lives alone in an apartment building. For many years, he has been secretly in love with Mrs. Silver, a woman who lives below him. Mr. Hoppy frequently leans over his balcony and exchanges polite conversation with Mrs. Silver, but he is too shy to disclose how he feels. Mr. Hoppy longs to express his feelings to Mrs. Silver, but he can never bring his lips to form the words. Mrs. Silver has a small pet tortoise, Alfie, whom she loves very much. One morning, Mrs. Silver mentions to Mr. Hoppy that even though she has had Alfie for many years, her pet has only grown a tiny bit and has gained only 3 ounces in weight. She confesses that she wishes she knew of some way to make her little Alfie grown into a larger, more dignified tortoise. Mr. Hoppy suddenly thinks of a way to give Mrs. Silver her wish and win her affection.

You remember back BC when we couldn’t envisage the future and we made plans ….….. that this year included seeing Celina’s family in Estoril over Easter. As we booked the TAP Portugal flights we thought even further ahead and also booked flights to cover the month of August in the sun. Little did we know the whole world was about to be turned on its head, or arse depending on your view.
Our Easter flights were cancelled and we have a voucher for future use with TAP Portugal. As we lived further into the lockdown period, we prayed we would still be able to go to Portugal on 28th July. At some point Celina was checking the airline’s flights from Brazil and in a ‘while I am on the website’ sort of moment, checked our July flights were still there. Nothing showed! We rang the airline in Portugal; I won’t bore you will the length of the call and the number of times we were put on hold etc etc as that, sadly, is an all too familiar experience, but eventually we talked to Gustavo.
“We are not flying out of Gatwick in July so had to cancel your flight.”
(Unspoken, as we wanted to keep Gustavo sweet and didn’t want him to hang up , …… “But why didn’t you tell us and explore some of our options?”)
He rebooked us on a flight from London Heathrow for the same day. And so it transpired that on Tuesday we were due to fly to Lisbon. Two days before, the Prime Minister surprised the whole country and those 600, 000 tourists already there by adding Spain to the list of countries from which returnees would have to isolate for 14 days. Difficult if you are only allowed to take 14 days holiday at one go.
We had packed; we had a chum coming to stay in our apartment; we had the taxi booked to take us to Terminal 2. Still ….. Monday night was spent tossing and turning ….. should we or shouldn’t we. ……. imagining this and that …. and some of the other? A little bell was reminding me that my travel insurance probably would be invalid as the UK’s Foreign Office had advised against non-essential travel to Portugal. Maybe that health agreement whereby UK NHS registered individuals could access Portugal’s health care system would be honoured? Was it worth the risk? I should add that it was our intention to simply spend five weeks in Celina’s mother and cousin’s apartment, which has its own pool, not join a group of fifty somethings wanting to relive their youth in the local Cascais nightclubs or boogieing the night away at a BBQ on some distant beach. And anyway Portugal had been remarkably successful in dealing with Covid 19, far far better than the UK, so it wasn’t exactly jumping out of the frying pan into the fire or indeed vica versa. The doubts rumbled around over breakfast!
Sam picked us up and drove us to Heathrow. We hadn’t spent so long with someone in a car for a while and as we talked, I realised something was different. When you meet someone of the first time we automatically look at their eyes; if we find the eyes friendly our own eyes drop down to the mouth – more information gathering at a sub-conscious level. Our Covid 19 facial masks hide a real contributor to the conversation, the visual inputs now limited to the other’s eyes and eyebrows. You have to work harder at a conscious level to convey the intended message. Some people naturally have smiley eyes; for most of us it’s something we are going to have to work on if the wearing of masks becomes a way of life and not just for those attending a Venetian Ball.
Apparently there is a shop in Brighton only selling facial masks!
At Terminal 2 there are one or two shops open for the few passengers in evidence; everyone is socially-distancing, wearing their personal choice of mask, and looking anxious. We board and taxi to our take-off position. No aircraft are landing and there is no queue of planes on the tarmac, neither in front nor behind us. Normally I am always like a child, fascinated by the long line of landing lights fading up into the sky as the aircraft make their decent towards the apron. Not today! We take off slightly early and fly out over the Isle of Wight, arriving over France on the western side of the Cherbourg Peninsula, and on over the Channel Islands of Sark and Jersey. We’re over Ushant, situated on that North West corner of France and I am reminded of our ferry trip from Portsmouth to Santander on the northern coast of Spain in 2018, when their course takes them through this rocky stretch of water.
My reveries are interrupted by a paper form that’s stuck rather unceremoniously under my nose. We borrow a Biro from the stewardess, for the form wants the details of where we are staying, our mobile numbers, full names, sex, shoe size (no! not really!) and our home address. I have read that some Covid-vaccine deniers think a microchip might be slipped under your skin as you have the little prick of the vaccine needle. This will give Big Brother the ability to access details of your life. (Some people actually believe this rubbish!) This form was enough ….. and I was filling it out very readily!
The mask is hot to wear for a long time and I reach up to angle the ‘fresh’ air nozzle onto my face. The distance between the rows of seats is adjustable depending on the carrier, the position of the nozzles not. The best I can achieve is for the jet of cool air to hit – just behind my shoulder.
Flying over Lisbon before doing a 360° turn to line up the approach
We land safely at Lisbon. There’s always one individual who has to be the first to stand as soon as the aircraft comes to a stop, as if they will gain a few seconds and lemming-like the rest of the passengers follow, only to stand bunched in the aisle until row 3 has cleared. Social distancing? Nah? At least they restrict passenger numbers on the coach that took us to the terminal building.
The Sintra hills in the distance, the Monument to the Discoveries in the foreground on the shore.
On the way up the escalator to ‘Passport Control’ I realise this is my first European flight since the UK left the Union at the end of last year; we are currently in a ‘transition period’. So ‘EU Passports’ or ‘Non-EU Passports’? My burgundy-coloured EU passport is still valid so we try that line. We are through without a hitch. Bags collected and on our way towards Estoril within 40 minutes of landing – without any trepidation!

In another piece of good news for the Latin American left, Xiomara Castro has won a big victory in Sunday’s presidential election in Honduras, twelve years after her husband was forced from office in dubious circumstances.
Only a bit over half the vote (51.4%) has been counted, but Castro’s lead is unassailable: she has 53.6%, almost twenty points clear of her nearest rival, the right’s Nasry Asfura, on 33.9%. (See official results here.) Centrist Yani Rosenthal has 9.2%, and another 12 candidates have less than half a per cent each.
Only a plurality is required, so Castro does not have to stay above 50%, and counting so far has been sufficiently uniform that only large-scale fraud could deny her the victory. Fraud, as it happens, is by no means unheard of in Honduras, and Asfura is yet to concede defeat, but the New York Times reports that the president of Honduras’s chamber of commerce has already congratulated Castro on her victory.
This is the left’s third attempt to undo the effects of the disputed events of 2009, in which a soft coup removed Manuel Zelaya from office and elections boycotted by the left returned the right to power. A reconciliation was subsequently patched up and Zelaya’s wife, Castro, ran for the presidency in 2013 for a new left-wing party, Libre – challenging the traditional duopoly of the National (right) and Liberal (centre) parties.
But the right held on, in a good demonstration of the problems of simple plurality systems. The National Party’s Juan Hernández prevailed with 36.9% of the vote against Castro’s 28.8%; the Liberal candidate had 20.3% and anti-corruption campaigner Salvador Nasralla had 13.4%.
Hernández then secured a change in the constitution to allow him to run for a second term (the very manoeuvre that had been used to justify Zelaya’s removal). Castro was again nominated by Libre, but instead agreed to run as Nasralla’s running mate on a unity ticket. Hernández was again successful, by a margin of just 50,000 votes, 43.0% to 41.4%, in a result that was widely condemned as fraudulent.
So this time, with Hernández out of the running, Castro tried again, and has done it handsomely. Given the precedents for dubious practice, a five or even ten point lead at this stage would not put her out of danger, but 350,000 votes is far too many to make up. Castro will become Honduras’s first female head of state.
Readers will know that I am deeply sceptical of the Latin American left. Its authoritarian tendencies have been on show in far too many places, including just this month in neighboring Nicaragua [link added], where president Daniel Ortega was re-elected in a sham poll (officially with 75.9% of the vote) after his leading opponents had all been imprisoned or exiled.
But that scepticism can’t be allowed to justify the anti-democratic tactics that the right has used in Honduras over the last twelve years. It’s good to see the country’s voters reaching the same conclusion.
UPDATE Tuesday 11.30pm (Honduras time): The official counting has advanced only slightly; it’s now on 53.2%, and Castro has dropped a little to 53.3%. But the BBC reports that Asfura has conceded defeat, raising hopes that the ruling party will allow a peaceful transfer of power. The United States, traditionally a big player in Honduras, has also sent its congratulations.
TWO DAYS LATER Thursday 8.15pm (Honduras time): Counting has got a bit of a move on, but it’s still extraordinarily slow. With 67.5% in, Castro is on 51.4%, about 375,000 votes ahead of Asfura on 35.5%; if she keeps slipping at the same rate she’ll finish below 50%, but that doesn’t really matter.
There’s no sign of any results for the legislature, but the New York Times has a good report on the prospects of an orderly transfer of power.
One thought on “Third time lucky in Honduras”

Quake update: Geologists of Jackson Hole: 'Just be prudent'
JACKSON, WYOMING JANUARY 16TH, 2009
An earthquake was felt at 9:15 pm on Thursday, January 15th in Jackson, Alpine, Etna and Thayne, Wyoming, and Idaho Falls, Idaho. According to the US Geological Survey, it was a magnitude 4.0 event located just north of Alpine Junction at a depth of 3 miles.
This earthquake occurred at the south end of the extended Teton Fault zone along the eastern base of the Teton Mountain Range. Geologists call this area the “Seismic Gap” because of the lack of recorded earthquakes—a linear area along the large Teton Fault, which is unusually seismically quiet. The recent swarm of hundreds of earthquakes in Yellowstone National Park lie near the northern end of this “seismic gap”.
This seemingly quiet seismic zone centered along the Teton Fault has been the site of magnitude 7. plus earthquakes in pre-historic times. The Faults have created the Grand Teton Mountains and shaped western Wyoming. Another magnitude 7. plus earthquake will fill this gap sometime within the next several hundred years. Some earthquakes are preceded by a perceptible increase in seismicity at one or both ends of the “seismic gap”. There is currently no reliable way to know in advance which small earthquakes are foreshocks to large earthquakes. There is no scientific basis to predict that a large earthquake is imminent.
...There is no reason to be overly concerned at this time. Just be prudent.

Why did Britain Win the Battle of Britain?
Britain won the Battle of Britain because Britain for several reasons on Britain’s part, and also to German errors. They won because of Britain’s superior technology, leadership and tactics.
The main reason for Britain’s victory was that Britain had invested in the Radar in the 1930’s. This would prove to be a huge benefactor in the victory, because the detection of incoming German aircraft would allow Britain to estimate the direction and number of Luftwaffe bombers, so that RAF planes would not be caught on the ground and destroyed before they could be put in action. Also, communications systems, radar systems and airfields couldn’t be put out of action easily, because Radar would be able to detect the incoming aircraft, and the RAF could send fighters to defend these areas.

President, Environmental Law Institute; Vice President, United Technologies Corp.; Connecticut Commissioner of Environment
Interview Year: 2011
Leslie Carothers was a Girl Scout leader in law school and credits her passion for environmental protection to her exposure to nature as a young hiker and camper. She became an activist lawyer to help change the way industry and government treated the nation’s air, water, and land and to forge new ethics and legal rules to protect public health and the environment. Her career spans service at the federal EPA, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, and as an environmental executive in industry. A former President of the Environmental Law Institute, she has been a visiting Scholar at Pace Law School and now at ELI.
At EPA, Carothers worked on the first rules to remove lead additives from gasoline and defended the rules on appeal to the courts. The D.C. Circuit decision upholding the lead rules in 1974 endures as a “leading case on how much evidence you need to show that a material presents a risk to health.,” and the importance of precautionary standards to address health and environmental risks. During her work as Vice President at United Technologies, she focused on compliance management as well as voluntary programs, such as reducing water and energy use and prescribing pollution controls at international operations. She was impressed by the impact of federal chemical release disclosure rules on companies after Bhopal, seeing “at close range that disclosure of information can have a very motivating effect.”
Having worked for Republican leaders like William Ruckelshaus and Russell Train and admired Bill Reilly’s EPA tenure, Carothers keenly regrets the demise of a bipartisan coalition to address today’s complex and crucial issues like climate change. She believes the American people understand climate risks better than some give them credit for, but they are skeptical about finding workable solutions. As a former think tank president and teacher, Carothers believes in the power of new ideas to produce positive change. She likes to quote the Chicago economist Milton Friedman on the need for a crisis to lay the foundation for change and the importance of having good ideas “lying around” when “the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.”

Butterflies and Moths
That woman, nobleblood, he had called her.
You didn’t know her like that. The two of you leapt from swings, slapping across the hot pavement into the pool, rust in your hands. Listen to the way you insisted it was just a game. Listen to the way with a tilt of your heads you could lift sweet rascal from all of your teachers.
It was her job to come up with the script. To tell you who had powers, who didn’t, wait for your turn. To never play truth or dare, it was all dare, all nest of snakes. Lost skin, jeweled egg, new venom. You would bring her anything. To watch her slide cross the creek, sheathed in ice, the snow stopped long enough to see the sky. You followed on your knees.
Off script: she taught you how to lie to your mother. Pluck the burrs from your skirt and check your teeth for mulberry strands. Here, she pressed the leaves, dusted like paprika into your palms. Caterpillar eggs grow on the veins. Let the butterflies hatch in your room, she sighs. I’m tired of playing with moths.
He saw her that night. Pearls laid across her sun-kissed throat, lips encased in scarlet. She must have learned new powers, darker and sweeter than any berries you tasted together. You wonder if she still smells of pine.
And when he runs after her, you don’t blame him. She was always better at pretend.

Imaging criteria and radiologic measurements play a key role in the diagnosis of spinal diseases. In addition, they often create the basis of classification systems that determine the severity of the disease and thereby enable a stage-related therapy. A clearly defined nomenclature for imaging findings as well as standardized and thoroughly evaluated methods of measurement are necessary to achieve a sufficiently high diagnostic accuracy. Various specialized committees dealing with the diagnosis of spinal diseases have made efforts within the last years to develop diagnostic standards. This review provides an overview of radiologic measurements and classification systems that are currently used for the diagnosis of scoliosis and degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine.

Amid the surging Covid-19 cases and strict imposition of Covid restriction the protestors at Amsterdam rallied against the stern Dutch Covid restriction imposed by the government. Though the protests were going on across the country, the last Sunday witnessed a huge gathering of protestors marching with their banners and yellow umbrellas. The large gathering of protestors was joined by farmers, who drove and parked their tractors along the central museum square.
Altogether the atmosphere during the protest was heated, still, the protestors maintained the decorum and relied on peaceful ways of protesting. The protestors chanted slogans against the government, played the music, and marched through fares, blocking the traffic. Moreover, many people exhibited their dissent against the restriction by not abiding by the rules and over-stepping on the restrictions imposed by the government.
Furthermore, amid the rising Covid-19 cases in Europe, the Netherlands witnessed the toughest lockdown last month in the wake of another variant of Covid. The Netherlands witnessed astonishing stats of cases i.e 3.5 million infections and 21,000 death since the onset of the pandemic. Despite the alarming cases, The Prime Minister of Netherlands Mark Rutte on Friday gave his assent for the opening of the stores, gyms, and hairdressers with certain conditions and restrictions.

DREILEBEN TRILOGY III B+
ONE MINUTE OF DARKNESS (Dreileben 3 – Eine Minute Dunkel) – made for TV
Germany (90 mi) 2012 d: Christoph Hochhäusler
While Christoph Hochhäusler is an established German filmmaker, it may be his writing about contemporary German cinema as co-editor and publisher of his film magazine Revolver that has brought him to international acclaim, as it was here that The Dreileben Trilogy took form, where Hochhäusler publicly challenged fellow Berlin School filmmakers Christian Petzold and Dominik Graf to express their thoughts about a lack of genre films as well as the changing German aesthetic emerging from the mid 90’s that has taken a distinct interest in German locations while also examining political and/or cultural ramifications. It’s only fitting then that Hochhäusler provide the concluding episode (shot in digital) and the segment that is most genre driven. Dreileben is a small town in the German countryside engulfed by nature, where the enormous surrounding woods have a way of culturally isolating the inhabitants, creating an almost fairy tale and mythic illusion, which are frequently referenced through the Grimm Brother’s Hansel and Gretel, explored in the initial episode, but also Wagner’s Ring cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, loosely based on characters from Norse mythology where giants and dwarves thrive in the darkness of the Thuringia woods, often finding themselves at odds with one another. It is here the focus has finally shifted from a peripheral role to the featured attraction, as the concluding episode is largely seen through the eyes of a mentally disturbed escaped killer, Frank Molesch, played by Stefan Kurt in a simply extraordinary mix of innocence and deranged confusion. Molesch seeks refuge in the forest and spends most of the film roaming aimlessly through the woods, but Hochhäusler also retraces how easily he initially escaped from the hospital, as the police allowed him to visit his dead mother in the Dead Room at the hospital, but only guarded one of the two exit doors. The concluding episode, like Kieslowski’s RED (1994) in his Three Color Trilogy, has the most connecting links to previous episodes, and although each claims to be an independent, stand alone film, it helps if one is familiar with the earlier references, as the finale sheds new light on everything that has come before.
The finale also introduces us to a new character, the chain-smoking Marcus Kreil (Eberhard Mirchberg), a Columbo-like seasoned police inspector who is on medical leave, but can’t stay away from tinkering with the case, as the town is under siege from strange attacks and unresolved murders, where the audience is treated to gruesome forensic photos of the deceased. While we get a taste of his family life, where his overbearing wife berates him for not staying in bed and his dim, constantly demanding son wants his approval for another hair-brained business proposition, hoping his dad can interest the police department into using his exercise equipment that is otherwise sitting dormant in an empty gym collecting dust. Marcus is often seen alone scrutinizing the video security tapes of the hospital, including the evidence used to convict the killer, the last man to see the girl alive, where the title is based on the tape going blank just prior to a young girl’s murder, leaving lingering, unanswered questions, where he is hoping to discover new clues, but he’s also interested in changing the focus of the investigation, trying to fathom why Molesch would go on a murder spree, trying to understand how he thinks, where he often visits Molesch’s mother’s vacant home in the middle of the night hoping to pick up new information, where the constantly wandering Molesch is also seen hovering nearby. In fact, the latest police strategy is to form tightly connected search lines combing through the woods, where Molesch can frequently be seen just out of reach desperately trying to escape, reminiscent of Peter Lorre’s frantic attempts to escape the police manhunt in Fritz Lang’s M (1931). When he’s flushed out of the forest, he often meanders into various pieces of the preceding episode, where despite a sighting, his detection was appropriately misidentified, a clue to the filmmaker’s goal of challenging the audience’s expectations.
This finale has a rhapsodic approach when the convict is free to roam through the countryside, feasting on wild berries, talking to himself, his mind often wandering to thoughts of his dead mother, where instead of a vicious monster of the loose, Molesch seems more like a simpleton, a manchild who has been tossed out into the world, frightened and alone, where his mood shifts and nervous body language are often inexplicable. Perhaps the highlight of the film is a sequence in the woods where Molesch has amusingly stolen sandwiches from a picnic table of visiting tourists enjoying the hillside view of the town nestled in the valley below, where he retreats into the woods to first identify and label the contents of each sandwich before gobbling them down, when he is unexpectedly interrupted by a young girl (Paraschiva Dragus) hanging from a tree limb above who is also hungry. She immediately trusts and protects him, warning him where the police are, quickly escorting him to safety, developing a tender bond between the two where they sit by an evening fire as he sings a silly song in a beautifully realized tribute to FRANKENSTEIN (1931). The dual narrative tracks of the finale center upon exposing the heart of each character, the cautiously circumspective police inspector and the gentle giant, often maligned monster in the woods, where at one point the police dragnet forces his retreat into the hidden confines of a cave, which turns out to be a historical witch’s cauldron, where he has to hide from another tourist group as they listen to legendary tales of witch burnings and witches capturing unsuspecting hikers. Still in the cave when the evening fog rolls in, Molesch can be seen trying to squirm under the enveloping layer quickly filling the empty spaces, obviously threatened by a fear of the unknown. This all too human quality, ironically from a monster regarded as a deranged serial killer, described by Hochhäusler as “a man who became a murderer only because he was hounded,” becomes a major theme of the film, how easily we jump to the wrong conclusions, as if anything, this Trilogy suggests humans are continually prone to making mistakes.

Hundreds of locals took part in celebrations as the St Patrick’s Day parade descended upon the city centre.
Nottingham was a sea of green as St Patrick’s Day parade made its way through the city.
Gingers beards, green top hats and pints of Guinness were in evidence as revellers marched down Mansfield Road and into Market Square.
The parade almost doubled in size from last year and ended with acts performing to a 5,000 strong crowd in the square.
Now in it’s 15th year, the parade is only getting bigger and better with the events beginning as early as 11am and contiunung long into the night.
Grandfather Joe Hickey dressed as the Irish patron saint for the third running to mark the celebrations.
The 81-year-old from Bestwood Park said: “St Patrick’s Day is a great way for the Irish and anybody who likes Irish culture to get together. People put a lot of effort in to help us to enjoy it.”
Among the parade floats containing Irish musicians, there was a nun playing a motorised keyboard and musical chefs.
Pupils from the city’s Catholic primary and secondary schools also joined in with the festivities, including a marching band of students from Trinity School in Aspley.
Bar and pubs across the city also enjoyed the celebrations with plenty of punters quenching their thirst in true Irish style.
O’Neill’s Irish pub manager George Huntingdon said: “St Patrick’s Day is always one of our best days for business as you can imagine. We welcome everyone to get involved whether they are Irish or not. The more the merrier!”
In Market Square local organisations ran stalls selling shamrocks, Irish novelties and food which went down a treat with revellers.
Stallholder Dawn Field, 59, said: “It’s great to see so many people coming down and embracing the Irish spirit. I’m only a quarter Irish myself but it’s been family tradition ever since I was little to celebrate.”

Israel’s Prime Minister’s wife, Mrs. Netanyahu, became a symbol of insensitivity, a local Marie Antoinette, when she famously offered pizzas to students activists on hunger strike against rising tuition fees. She didn’t express support for their just demands, nor did she show any admiration for their sacrifice or sympathy with their suffering. All she displayed was the light minded selfishness and hedonism of someone who is complete stranger to the notions of a just cause, struggle or sacrifice.
Some of those who claim to be “Israeli intellectuals” have proven today that their arrogance and insensitivity far exceed those of Mrs. Netanyahu.
“Writers and poets, including Eli Amir, Amos Oz and AB. Yehoshua, turned in a personal letter to Samer Al Issawi, on hunger strike for more than 230 days, and called on him to stop the strike.” So we read in today’s (13/04/2013) press.
No, they did not wake…
