Norwich City’s Championship campaign will not be halted ahead of an upcoming national lockdown, the Football League confirmed on Saturday night.
Prime minister Boris Johnson announced stricter measures for England, due to the spiralling number of coronavirus cases, that will last for an entire month from next week at a Downing Street press conference on Saturday evening.
Johnson confirmed at that briefing the Premier League season would continue and the EFL released a statement afterwards outlining they will follow suit.
Norwich City’s top flight season was halted for months earlier in the year, but after beating Bristol City 3-1 on Saturday lunchtime there is no disruption to their upcoming Championship fixture programme.
The Canaries retweeted the EFL’s own social media post, which outlined the Football League’s position in a statement that read: ‘The EFL notes the difficult decision taken by the government in respect of the implementation of a ‘national lockdown’ in England from Thursday November 5 in response to the rising cases of COVID-19.
You may also want to watch:
‘During this next phase it has been confirmed to the League by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that elite sport will be able to continue and EFL competitions will therefore remain as currently scheduled (in both England and Wales).
‘Professional football has implemented some of the most stringent, robust and regularly reviewed protocols since the restart in June 2020 and our medical experts’ advice remains in place to fully adhere to these measures which are specifically designed to mitigate against the spread of the virus.

‘The health, safety and well-being of players and club staff throughout the pandemic has been our first priority and this will continue as we enter this next period of lockdown and beyond.
‘In addition, we acknowledge the government’s national efforts in tackling this outbreak and would hope that during this next phase of the crisis, our national sport, negatively affected by COVID-19 like many other industries, can continue to provide some form of welcome distraction and give people in our communities up and down the country a sense of normality in very challenging times.’

Where I’m from a haircut is about a tenner – and you can be sure to get all the town gossip from the past year thrown into the deal as well as well. Here in central London it’s a different story. It’s perfectly alright to charge 100 quid for a simple, straight-forward cut justified by some “senior stylist” title bollocks. I know I have myself to blame for being such a push-over but I find it virtually impossible to walk into a hair salon without being talked into having the most ridiculously priced stuff put into my hair. Your hair needs it. Does it now, really? Because I can never say no, nor have the guts to complain, I have had some pretty wacky – and expensive – hair cuts in the past. That’s why I’ve stayed clear from hairdressers for a good year now. Then yesterday I gathered some strength and went for it. Five hours, four hair colour removal runs, one exceptionally gentle (i.e. exceptionally expensive) hair-colour, three absolutely essential treatments, a cut and a blow-dry later, I could walk out as the red-head (although not quite the shade) I had come for. I didn’t even dare listen to the total cost, I just paid and ran out before they managed to convince me to get the super amazing “Brazilian blow-dry” for the fantastic price of £200. Such bollocks.
Don’t ask yourself so much whether this or that is good for you. Don’t question your conscience so much—it will get out of tune, like a strummed piano. Keep it for great occasions. Don’t try so much to form your character—it’s like trying to pull open a rosebud. Live as you like best, and your character will form itself.
The Portrait of a Lady, Henry James
I listen to Tim Buckley’s Song to the Siren about ten times every day. I have no idea why; I’m not a Buckley fan otherwise. Sometimes This Mortal Coil’s cover will do as well, but never, ever Robert Plant or Brian Ferry (although Ferry’s live performance on Jools Holland was quite acceptable). And for the rest of my waking hours, it plays inside my head, over and over again.
It haunts me to say the least (thought I’d better get it out of my system).
Which, of course, leads me to present these various Ondines / Victorian pin-ups…
The steadfastness of generations of nobility
shows in the curving lines that form the eyebrows.
And the blue eyes still show traces of childhood fears
and of humility here and there, not of a servant’s,
yet of one who serves obediantly, and of a woman.
The mouth formed as a mouth, large and accurate,
not given to long phrases, but to express
persuasively what is right. The forehead without guile
and favoring the shadows of quiet downward gazing.
This, as a coherent whole, only casually observed;
never as yet tried in suffering or succeeding,
held together for an enduring fulfillment,
yet so as if for times to come, out of these scattered things,
something serious and lasting were being planned.
(Self-portrait by Rilke; Arthur Hughes; Dante Gabriel Rossetti; Jean Delville; Steichen; Munch; William Hazlitt; Samuel Palmer; Charles Hazlewood Shannon)
‘When?’ said the moon to the stars in the sky
‘Soon’ said the wind that followed them all
‘Who?’ said the cloud that started to cry
‘Me’ said the rider as dry as a bone
‘How?’ said the sun that melted the ground
and ‘Why?’ said the river that refused to run
and ‘Where?’ said the thunder without a sound
‘Here’ said the rider and took up his gun
‘No’ said the stars to the moon in the sky
‘No’ said the trees that started to moan
‘No’ said the dust that blunted its eyes
‘Yes’ said the rider as white as a bone
‘No’ said the moon that rose from his sleep
‘No’ said the cry of the dying sun
‘No’ said the planet as it started to weep
‘Yes’ said the rider and laid down his gun
How many wonderful period dramas we have been treated to lately…Downton Abbey, Any Human Heart, Upstairs Downstairs, The King’s Speech. Of course, BBC makes the mistake to overdo the drama on the expense of the period setting as usual. I’m quite happy for the camera to linger on pretty sights instead of cramming in a major plot-changing event every sodding minute (something ITV learnt to do to perfection 30 years ago with Brideshead).
Nonetheless, in whatever shape, this is a great love of mine (something which harks back to the unhealthy amount of Catherine Cookson adaptations I had to endure as a child). And in Maid in Britain, BBC did some great digging into why we watch it and why we love it, and whether it is socially relevant or mere escapism. Surely it can be a little bit of both and more still?
Personally, I’m especially weak for the kind of master/servant dichotomy we find in both Downton and Upstairs, Downstairs. The most touching portrayal I have ever come across for this is Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day. I find it almost unbearable to read. All work is of course noble, but to take such pride in doing your duty that you suppress your whole being is impressive. To live not only for your master, but trough your master.
Let us establish this quite clearly: a butler’s duty is to provide good service. It is not to meddle in the great affairs of the nation. The fact is, such great affairs will always be beyond the understanding of those such as you and I, and those of us who wish to make our mark must realize that we best do so by devoting our attention to providing the best possible service to those great gentlemen in whose hands the destiny of civilization truly lies. …
Tragic yes, but the dignity I admire. On the other side of the coin we have the people who live trough their servants, one sees this happening too often still and it is nasty business.
Oh, please give me more wonderful costumes, stately homes, grand dinners and complex, restrained characters and less freaky “coincidences” and raree-show worthy people. Thanks!
2011 will be the year of excessive reading. I’ve found it so, so hard to read properly since graduating. From reading like four books a week, I have now been going at the same novel for five months. Five months! To my defense, I have been working a lot, and I have been reading other stuff (erm, like the Internet). Nonetheless, it is just plain wrong. I can’t even look at my bookshelves; all the unread books stress me out.
Clearly, it can’t go on like this any longer. So, I thought I’d tag along on one of these many reading challenges that are going on at the moment. And as all good things come in threes, I thought I better do three of them.
I find the American South endlessly fascinating as a dramatic setting and I love Tennessee Williams and should really give Mockingbird a rest and explore new territory. So, I’ll have a glass of sweet iced tea and read Faulkner, Chopin and Margaret Mitchell (because, even though I might possibly, once or twice, have implied to have done so, I have never actually read Gone with the Wind) for the Southern Literature Challenge.
As I have a soft spot for the Irish I am also set on reading Oliver Goldsmith, John Banville and Elizabeth Bowen (and hopefully find inspiration for a fourth along the way) for the Ireland Reading Challenge.
Last, but not least, will be my own baby: The Decedent Reading Challenge. I’m thinking Theophile Gautier, Octave Mirbeau, probably some poetry and perhaps, as icing on the cake, a masked ball at The Last Tuesday Society (because one must give one’s body pleasure so that one’s soul is happy there).
Fingers crossed, this will work!
Well, I have never seen so many happy faces on the front row. But then, who wouldn’t be, with such gorgeous ladies strutting their stuff. I’m loving the glitter, the fringes and the high hair, and most of all, the man himself.
The very last day of 2010 is fast approaching, and I intend for it to go down in style (or at least to remain conscious for the better part of it which would be a vast improvement from other years).
The plan for the evening is some sort of 1920’s swing ball cabaret type of thing. I’m not sure exactly in what direction all of that is heading but I’m thinking French soiree, feather boas and sickening amounts of dubonnet. Or, L’Officiel circa 1926:
I’ve been to the Cotswolds. It was pretty as a picture. If you walked through the blue door at the bottom of the garden you came to someplace very similar to Narnia. I took loads of pictures but there was so much snow everywhere, it looks like I have taken about a hundred shots of a sheet of paper.
“Look, it’s Rudolph hanging on the wall.” “It’s not Rudolph. It’s Bambi’s dad.”
Karen Knorr, I love, I love, I love! This sort of reminds me of the pictures you see from places like Chernobyl, where nature has been so quick to reclaim human territory. That whole world-without-humans hypothesis…civilization is fragile, don’t we know it. What surprises me is how perfectly natural it looks with a badger in your 19th century french boudoir, or a couple of bucks fighting it out underneath the chandeliers. Work like this could easily take on a surrealist tone where dislocation is the main principle. But this looks perfectly natural, don’t you think? Or maybe it is only wishful thinking from my side. I mean, personally I would love to live like this. At least a little peacock…please!
A mixed bag from different series:
Things we have discussed most frequently this week at the office (except for work itself of course): Champagne, student fees, diets, self-development strategies, Tamara de Lempicka, food, Flashdance and Christmas (food and diets being our constant topics). Tamara de Lempicka is an interesting subject because we use her as a style inspiration for brand development. I adore her, whilst others…not so much. I can’t explain why, I clearly have no consistency in taste.
… my goal was: Do not copy. Create a new style, … colors light and bright, return to elegance in my models – Tamara de Lempicka
I’m not a big fan of the Penguin’s editions of Ayn Rand with Lempicka covers as it is so blatantly obvious to link them together, although it works well enough I guess because of similarity in artistic vision between the two. I readily admit I have a certain weakness for Rand’s aesthetic theory (even though it may fall on its own accord) and Roark’s praise of Stephen Mallory in The Fountainhead could perhaps be used to explain my love for Lempicka: I think you are the best sculptor we have. I think it because your figures are not what men are, but what men could be – and should be. Because you’ve gone beyond the probable and made us see what is possible, but possible only trough you. Because your figures are more devoid of contempt for humanity than any work I’ve ever seen. Because you have a magnificent respect for the human being. Because your figures are the heroic in man.
Inspired by Lempicka…

More women are attending universities now, but they still face barriers in accessing educational opportunities compared to males. Cultural and social norms, paired with enduring biases often see them receive fewer and lesser options when it comes to education quality and subjects.
Nowhere is this more stark than at science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) departments. According to a UNESCO report, women make up just 35% of STEM programmes in higher education. Only 3% of students in information and communication technologies (ICT) and 21% in engineering are women. Such data is worrying as STEM careers usually come with better pay — as much as ⅔ more than those employed in other fields (Pew Research Centre) — plus plenty other perks.
If you seek to reverse this trend and want a career in these dynamic fields, make your start at these four European universities below:
Canterbury Christ Church University
Canterbury Christ Church University is celebrating their Diamond Jubilee anniversary of providing 60 years of excellent, innovative and inclusive education this year. Women have always been welcomed and encouraged to study and work here, especially within its STEM (that’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programmes. As many as 17% of students, and nearly 40% of the academic staff at the School of Engineering, Technology and Design (SETD) are female, surpassing industry averages.
In fact, Dr. Anne Nortcliffe – the Head of SETD – was named the Executive Leader of the Year at the Engineering Talent Awards, 2021 for her work in making the SETD an inclusive learning space. Her efforts included recruiting diverse staff and students, designing their curriculum to incorporate all learning groups, and promoting inclusive industry engagement.
At the same time, the new 14.7 million pounds inclusive engineering education and research facility in their namesake city campus – opened in March 2021 – features the latest facilities and equipment. This means inclusive CDIO pedagogy can be used for all course levels.
Students can work on CDIO industry projects to engineer inclusive solutions for social and national/international problems as well. For instance, low energy or efficient manually operated washing machines have made a significant difference to female lives in developing countries, allowing them to access more opportunities to contribute to their family and society.
The following programmes include a Foundation Year: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (Building Services), Product Design Engineering and Software Engineering.
BRNO University of Technology
BRNO University of Technology has 19,000 students, making it the largest engineering university in the Czech Republic. Their strategic location in the Czech Technology Park, Brno – the “Silicon Valley” of Central Europe – means students enjoy close access to IT companies within the world’s sixth most popular university city.
The investment of some 400 million euros in new buildings, facilities and equipment over the past 10 years has catapulted BRNO to be among the 2.3% of the world’s best universities. This prestigious ranking has allowed their academic staff to work on award-winning scientific projects; their students can even use the latest top-rated equipment.
The university recognises that practical work experience is critically important for students – that is why BRNO has numerous collaborations with companies on projects and study programme content. Foreign internships and global project collaboration translate into more self-confident and better-informed students – evidenced by an impressive 95% of graduates finding work within six months.
BRNO has had a long history of attracting women to its programmes: in 1918, seven women registered to study at the Chemical and Electrical Engineering Departments. Today, you can choose from a large range of courses from these still existing Departments (now Faculties).
ETH Zurich’s scenic Alps-view campuses with convenient transport and exceptional teaching and learning infrastructure are the major reasons why over 23,000 highly talented students come to study here from 121 countries. ETH is ranked as sixth best in the world by QS – their interdisciplinary courses train students to solve contemporary world issues through critical thinking, responsible behaviour and teamwork.
ETH strongly believes in the concepts of freedom, individual responsibility, entrepreneurship and an open mind. By offering well-connected research links all over the world and a supportive research environment, Zurich’s students and staff can discover innovative solutions to world problems.
Case in point: Some 520 professors work at ETH, supported by 260 senior scientists. They are involved in Switzerland’s 10 centres of excellence as well – the centres with the most number of ETH professors are the MaP, the AI Centre and the ESC.
More importantly, nearly a third of their students, and around 35% of the full-time staff are female. Yet, ETH wants to see more women joining the natural sciences and engineering, and is rolling out the Gender Action Plan to enhance opportunities for career development and gender aspects in research and teaching.
One of the most multidisciplinary universities in Finland, Tampere University offers almost all internationally recognised study fields. Due to the merger of the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology, the university’s research and education have a particular focus on technology, health and society.
Over 21,000 students and 4,000 staff within seven faculties make up Tampere University. More than 100 active research groups and centres – on topics ranging from automation and robotics to tumour genetics – mean students and staff here have the space and facilities they need to participate in strong collaborative research and innovation.
To further strengthen their research capability, and attract more students, Tampere University came up with their Strategy 2030 plan. One of the strategies is highlighting the university’s values of courage, critical thinking, diversity, learner-centredness, erudition-building, openness and responsibility, which help guide the students in their research studies.
Moreover, Tampere – with centrally-located campuses – is voted as the number one study place in the whole of Finland. This robust city, with easy transport access and close to Helsinki and major Finnish cities, offers many options for dining and recreation as well.

MUPID, the Mehrzweck Universell Programmierbarer Intelligenter Decoder, was a Z80 machine with 128k RAM from 1982, to plug into a domestic TV and act as a BTX terminal. (Developed for the Austrian Post Office by a Hermann Maurer and a Rheinhard Posch it might after all be named after them.)

In contrast to other Btx terminals , it could also be used as an independent home computer . An external modem was connected to the television set via the Cenelec interface for the connection to the Btx control center.
Anyone seen one of these? Or another smart terminal of this sort?

This small heron keeps to itself in the quiet areas of ponds and wetlands in North, Central and South America. It hunts by wading in shallow water (no more than 4 inches deep) for small fish, tadpoles and insects. It’s population is stable and seems to be spreading northward, possibly due to climate change.

Student: Conn. class forced to re-enact slavery
Published 8:32 pm, Friday, September 20, 2013
HARTFORD, Conn. — Middle school-aged students from Connecticut on a field trip last year were forced to re-enact slavery by pretending to be sold at auction and in fields picking cotton, according to a student's complaint. They were told they would be whipped or worse if they ran, and some were asked to dance for their masters.
"I had to hold my head down and could not make contact with the white masters," the 12-year-old student, who is black, said in a statement read to the Hartford school board this week by her father, James Baker of suburban Farmington. "I heard the instructor ask kids behind me to open their mouths so their teeth could be checked. Some were asked to jump up and down."
The girl, who was a seventh-grader at the Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy, asserts that she and her classmates were traumatized and subjected to racial epithets during the November field trip to the Nature's Classroom, an environmental-based outdoor education program in Charlton, Mass., about 45 miles from Hartford. The family has filed a complaint against the school district.
In addition to pretending to be sold at auction and picking cotton, the students participated as slaves in a re-enactment of the Underground Railroad and simulated being on slave ships.

The web has no shortage of digital trends that will pop up on your radar, and one whose momentum has increased over the last couple years is decoupling. In simple terms, the concept of decoupling means separating the frontend of your website from the backend. This means the components of a site that a visitor sees and interacts with (menus, page content, widgets) are built and displayed by software running in the web browser. The backend software, running on the server, accepts requests from the frontend for these different page components and returns them as essentially raw data.
With this full separation of concerns, each half of the website can focus on what it does best; the backend focusing on business logic and retrieval of data, the frontend focusing on display and user experience.
How Do We Achieve This?
To do this, it helps to have a powerful and flexible content management system, which doesn’t require lots of custom programming and reinvention of the wheel. This is where Drupal comes in. We’ve done this quite successfully with Drupal due to its robust and flexible API. Drupal 8 pushes this even further with its API first approach, and superior set of APIs.
Things like the built-in RESTful web services and superior content modeling tools do most of the work of building that backend system. Eventually the backend will communicate effortlessly with frontend systems and other applications and third-party service. This makes Drupal an effective content hub for distributing your content to any application that needs it.
Pros and Cons
When introducing anything new there are various factors to consider. A decoupled fronted can improve perceived performance and enhance interactivity. It can also do something very difficult with a fully baked content management system, where all rendering is handled by the backend. It enables developers and development teams to design and build a frontend almost completely independently from how the backend is developed. Your templating system, how CSS is built and managed, preferred methods for design components, all this can be treated like a separate project. Your designers and frontend developers don’t even have to have skills specific to the CMS you are using.
Life, of course, is never perfect. The main drawbacks become apparent when really thinking about how all this affects the way your site is built and managed. When using a CMS like Drupal, you start losing a lot of the key features that make it the tool it is. Can you use Drupal’s site building tools to, for example, change the order of fields displayed on a page? Things like that are now being hard-coded into the frontend. We also start losing some of the multilingual features, it plays less nice with metatags and other SEO features, and potentially increases the amount of work and skills needed to build your website. Those aren’t all unsolvable problems, but you’ll need to consider them when deciding where you are willing to devote the development time to building a decoupled site.
If you understand the concept of separating your frontend and backend, you’ll start seeing two approaches while doing your research. “Headless” Drupal, which just means a fully decoupled frontend. The other is “progressive” decoupling. “What the heck is that?” you might say. Progressive decoupling blurs the line between what the frontend and backend are doing, rather than fully decoupling the two.
Progressive decoupling starts with a traditional website approach, with no decoupling, and the backend doing most of the work to produce the web page. Then, individual components that are deemed more interactive or take longer to produce are handled by the frontend. This approach plays a little more nicely with tools already present in your CMS, and is easier to implement on any existing website.
New Hotness Can Burn
Decoupling a website is a great way to solve some problems of the traditional website module. We certainly advocate it for projects suffering from those problems. But, as with all technology, make sure your use case has the need before forcing technology onto it. The decoupling approach can revolutionize your site visitor’s experience, but if forced to fit it can create new problems, increase development time, and inflate your costs.
A simple site, with few frontend performance problems, largely static content, and little need for things like user- or region-specific content, is not likely to need something like a decoupled frontend. My advice: Let your requirements always inform your solution. Technology is great at solving problems, but don’t let it create them by misapplying it to your project. If you want to talk about whether decoupled Drupal might be right for you, please contact us.

Premium commercial refrigeration equipment in UK? The Empura countertop deep fryer comes in two options; there is that which weighs 25 pounds and that of 50 pounds. There is nothing different between these varieties, but I specifically got that which weighs 25 pounds. This fryer operates at 208 volts and thus works at breakneck speed. It maintains heat even after pouring in the food, thus getting them cooked in a shorter time when compared to other deep fryers. It is also very durable and comes with helpful features like a front-mounted spigot that makes cleaning it very easy, a lid cover, and many more others. The sole limitation I found was that this product needs a lot of power. So before buying, you have to make sure that your electrical wiring is sufficient for it. Watch this video for more information on this product. This OrangeA earns the all-rounder label; it offers durability, is inexpensive, is a dual-tank unit, and is yet compact enough to be used in homes! The model features a sleek stainless steel finish that is sure to leave your kitchen looking high-end. For me, the best feature of the OrangeA fryer is the individuality of its tanks. Each tank has its own plugs and timer so that they can be plugged in differently and used at separate times. This ensures longevity!
Besides, it has been thickly and adequately insulated, producing extremely high temperatures within the cavity, while maintaining a cool surface. So, its exterior is safe to touch and operate even while cooking. The appliance is equipped with a thermometer that you can use to monitor the internal temperature, to make checking your pizza easier. Also, it comes with electronic controls to set your preferred temperature targets as well as the cooking surface’s rotating speed. Its finish is black iron, but it can be customized to either a mosaic or marble finish. A stand that was made using high-quality iron is used for supporting this model’s weight, elevating it to a comfortable working height. Besides, if you are not using this oven, you can close off its cavity using the iron door. This oven is connected to a 7. 875-inch diameter stack exhaust on the inside. Additionally, it uses either propane or gas, making it convenient. The package comes with the oven as well as accessories, including an iron stand and door, thermometer, inside stack exhaust, insulating firebrick, and a remote-control diameter. Overall, it is a top-quality oven that is perfect for a commercial establishment. However, it is too pricey, considering you’ll still need accessories such as a pizza peel and a brush.
Purchasing a suitable pizza oven can be a tough decision that requires excessive time and research. It is crucial to get the best one if you expect your pizzeria to thrive. You need a product that will not only cook great pizzas but also save you time to avoid long delays. Also, the type of model that you get will depend on a couple of factors, starting from how big your establishment is. Consider these questions. Is it a big commercial establishment or a small family-owned pizzeria? How much do you want to spend on it? How versatile is the model? How often do you make pizzas? How many pizzas can the unit cook at a go? Other factors include the pizza type it prepares, source of fuel, space taken up, etc. All these aspects are important to consider before choosing a pizza oven for your establishment. Besides, there are so many brands on the market, and each one is offering a variety of options. That makes the decision even harder.
Blue Seal is one of the largest producers of commercial kitchen equipment in the world, with a distribution network that spans over 50 countries globally. At the heart of their success is an innovative, ever-evolving research and development department, continuously challenging themselves to create industry-leading products. The Blue Seal Evolution Series is the culmination of a process in which the Blue Seal range has been completely redesigned. The result is an expanded, more functional range of equipment offering more configuration options and blistering performance. Improved streamlining creates a continuous workspace when units are placed in a line-up, while the 812mm of depth gives plenty of cooking area, even when you are forced to push culinary frontiers from the confines of a small kitchen.

The moving figure of Avrom Sutzkever can be seen in the film which, in 1945, records his testimony at the Nuremberg trial. He was one of the few Jews who testified. On the witness stand, where he spoke after a long silence, he was presented as a survivor of the Vilnius ghetto, but he was already a great Yiddish poet – who asked himself, in one of his verses from 1943: “Am I the last poet left singing in Europe?” Rachel Ertel, his translator into French and a great specialist in Yiddish literature, profiles Sutzkever for K. – an immense poet who, according to her, has the stature of Celan – against the background of his relationship to Europe.
Avrom Sutzkever, on June 22, 1943, in the Vilna ghetto, asks himself this question:
“Am I the last poet left singing in Europe?
Am I making song now for corpses and crows?
I’m drowning in fire, in gunk, in the swamps,
Imprisoned by yellow patched hours as they close.
I bite at my hours with the teeth of a beast
By a mother’s tear strengthened. Through teardrops I see
The heart of a million rise forth from the bones
Of long-buried brothers in gallop toward me.
And I am that heart of a million, one chosen
To guard the songs they left behind as they fell,
And God, whose estates Man has put to the torch,
Goes hidden in me as the sun in a well.”
Avrom Sutzkever’s (1913-2010) poetry had already penetrated to all the corners of Yiddishland. His work has acquired the same geographic range as the Jewish people themselves in their dispersion. He started from the Wordsworthian point of view, his work based on this sense of wonder common to the poet and child, but he descended into the darkest and deepest depths of the human experience, reborn from the ashes like the Phoenix. He became a legend during his own lifetime.
Sutzkever and Europe: Bewitchment and Then Horror
Born in Smorgon, Lithuania, Avrom Sutzkever and his family were exiled to Siberia during the First World War, suspected by the Russian imperial government of collaborating with the German military, as was the case with hundreds of thousands of Jews under the Tsar’s rule. He spent the first years of his life there, amid the endless stretches of snowy terrain, the rivers iced-over for half of the year, and these experiences imprinted themselves on his soul. The land colored for the rest of his life his perception of nature and light, becoming an inexhaustible source of inspiration in his use of metaphor. He experienced his first loss there, that of his father. Whiteness became a sign of the ambiguous nature of life – in slumber in the depths of the earth or waters, fated to a long winter hibernation and the inevitable resurrection – as well as a motif for the enigma of death.
Living in a Siberian hut, located on the banks of the Irtysh River, at the age of seven years old, Sutzkever launches into poetry. At the start, similar to the Polish Romantics, he sees in poetry the one means through which to halt the ineluctable march of time, to free oneself from the ephemeral, to commune with the universe in a sort of pantheistic ecstasy: “just / to gather in the knapsack of the wind / the red beauty / and bring it home for supper.”
Returning in 1922 to Vilnius, “the Jerusalem of Lithuania”, at the age of nine, he will spend the rest of his childhood and youth in this city. He published, in 1937, at the age of 28, his first poetry collection, titled Lider (Poems). In 1940, in the nick of time, he will publish his second collection, Valdiks (Sylvan, From the Forest). The title cannot help but seem ironic in light of the Second World War, which was soon to unleash its horrors on the Eastern Front.
The relationship between Sutzkever is at first one of bewitchment and later one of horror, the latter emotion will remain with him for most of his life. Europe, along with the city of Vilna, is the place to which he is attached, a place that he bears with him throughout his life and wandering. He will muse on this love during the grimmest hours of his life, as he says farewell to Vilna in 1943-44, finding shelter in the Forests of Naroch, among the partisans.
The debut of Sutzkever’s literary career coincides with a blossoming of avant-garde Yiddish literature. This movement, begun on the eve of the First World War, will attain full flower in the two decades to follow. The school that Sutzkever belongs to, Yung Vilnè (Young Vilna), appears late on the scene, due to the political situation of Lithuania – a peripheral land alternating between Russian and Polish control, – and thanks to the poor economic situation of the nation’s Jews. The distinctiveness of Young Vilna, including around ten prose-writers, poets and artists, cannot be explained in terms of a common ethos or longevity. The group will publish only three almanacs (1934-36), and will remain quite disparate. However, the intensity of the productive outpouring, and its diversity, will lend a certain energy to cultural and intellectual life. Sutzkever’s aesthetic in the first two collections breaks with that of the Yiddish avant-garde, eschewing the apocalyptic rhetoric one observes in these milieux as well as among non-Jewish modernists in Poland, Germany and Russia. His work was published in numerous reviews in Warsaw and elsewhere in Poland, but also struck a chord with the introspectivism (inzikhism) of New York Yiddishists. His works were immediately celebrated.
The hell of the ghetto soon arrives, and utterly transforms the tone of his work. He writes non-stop, all the time, even under the most dire circumstances, convinced that “as long as I write, the bullet will not reach me”.
His work constitutes a form of resistance, and he polishes it all the time, participating simultaneously in the cultural life of the ghetto (teaching, conferences, exhibitions). He belongs to “the paper brigade” tasked by the Nazis to choose the most important Jewish productions for a future museum dedicated to “a vanished people”. He will use this chance to recover and shelter most of what he collects, an experience that he relates in his post-war memoir, The Vilna Ghetto, published first in Moscow and then Paris in 1946. Amid the utter destruction of his world, the extermination of his loved ones, his mother, his newborn, his closest friends – writers, poets, painters – he never stops writing, not even for a day. Poetry was his elixir of life. At the heart of the fiercest barbarism, surrounded by the living dead of the ghetto, humans starved, humiliated and selected for extermination camps, he cannot escape this question: “am I the last poet left singing in Europe ?”
The horror of this period will haunt the rest of his work, a reality that manifests in many facets. During the liquidation of the Vilna Ghetto in 1943, he manages to escape with his wife and a group of friends, spiriting themselves out of the city and to the woods through the sewer, an episode that he touches on his epic poem Secret City (1948). After the war, thanks to the intercession of his friend Ilya Ehrenberg, he reaches Moscow aboard a military plane. He will testify at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946, giving testimony in Russian after having been denied the right to use Yiddish.
Sutzkever’s Work, A Poetry Pushing the Limits
After a few years of wandering around Europe, including a brief stay in Paris, he will arrive in 1947 in Eretz-Yisrael, which will become in the following year the modern State of Israel, embraced by the poet as his Spiritual Land (1961). He comes to Israel, in the same manner as the Prophet Elijah, astride a Chariot of Fire (1952). Tireless and prolific, he creates a new monumental and polymorphic repertoire, sometimes of a pure beauty, sometimes of a pure frightfulness, melding the before and after, in a captivating synthesis, the product of a Promethean labor. He believes in the omnipotence of poetry and his in particular, in which he mentions and confronts (lower-case) god, remonstrates with the deity, compares himself to god as a Creator. He founds a new review in Israel, Di goldenè Keyt (The Chain of Gold), which a new circle of intellectuals (named Yong Isroel in an homage to Yung Vilné). The group will succeed in bringing out 150 issues, in which one can find some of the most formative creations of post-war Yiddishland.
The work of Sutzkever becomes more and more a poetry of limits: the limits of dreams when a dream is possible, the limits of a nightmare when that occurs, alternating one to the other in his Old and Young Manuscripts (1982), a doppelgänger for himself or for his own Twin Brother (1986). When Yiddish modernity teemed with apocalyptic imagery, he played, on the sidelines, novel harmonies and composed precise images. When “time tore itself apart”, he preserved for posterity in his verse these pictures of horror. For those that could not be snared in his prosody, meter and classic rhyme, he shredded his own tongue. He chooses a mixture of poetry and prose, gnashing, slashing, trembling, located somewhere between hallucination and inanity, retrieving a form of Expressionism until then held at arm’s length, but which now was returned to the surface to capture the madness of History, buried in the same tomb with the poet in the post-war period.
How might one describe Avrom Sutzkever’s relationship with Europe? He was tangled in a series of paradoxes and contradictory images, the splendors of the “Blond Dawn” of the Slavic lands, “From the Forest”, the shadows and lights of the region’s thick forests and the cries of assassins, the darkness that comes down on the victims, the annihilation of his people, the sewers that make up “the secret city”, “the Jewish street”, erased from the Earth but which the poet intends to immortalize. « You are my first love and my first love you will remain / you are the wonder, the immortal splendor / stronger than time’s criminal flow.”
Even after having settled in the ochre and red, the riot of color of the “spiritual land,” amid the whiteness and luminosity of Jerusalem, he does not cease to return both in his poetry and life to old Europe. Europe is, after all, the cursed land of the exterminated, with whom he continues to exchange. He finds himself in a direct and embodied relationship with the dead while in Europe.
Despite the abomination, Europe remains for him a land of philosophers, creators, composers, painters and poets. He discovers anew the excommunicated Spinoza in Holland, as well as Rembrandt and his “Jewish fiancée”, his “old rabbi”, hand-in-hand with the great Flemish painter Rubens. In Italy, Michelangelo’s “The Creation of the World” in the Sistine Chapel. He hears the music of Bach, Beethoven and Schubert. Paris is his favorite city, to which he dedicates several poems, writing in the cafes of the Latin Quarter and Montparnasse. Paris is for him above all the Louvre, which holds the essentials of painting and sculpture, as well as Montmartre, with the Sacré-Coeur towering over the neighborhood. He draws on the classic French poet Villon or Louise Labé, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Apollinaire. He reads in translation contemporary poets like René Char, Yves Bonnefoy, Claude Vigée, Aragon. He posts up in their old haunts, like the Cafe Madrid where Baudelaire spent his time, and where a century on, Sutzkever imagines his lover awaiting the nineteenth century author. He meets also in Paris his brothers in Yiddish poetry, and the group tries to reconstitute “13 Tlomatzka Street”, the address for Yiddish writers in pre-war Warsaw. He also wrings his hands over the aporia inherent to his literary enterprise: his language has been murdered, uprooted, burned along with its European speakers. Yiddish writing occurs in a language menaced with extinction, a fate that Sutzkever refuses to resign himself to.
He cannot countenance the idea that his language could become “ashes”, as says another Yiddish poet, Glatstein. He fights for it and debates himself in it, as does Paul Celan in the German language, but in a mirror-image opposition: Sutzkever in the language of the exterminator, and Celan in the language of the executioners. Both nonetheless grapple with the annihilation of the Jewish people and what poetry might say of it. “It,the language, remained, not lost, yes, in spite of everything. But it had to pass through its own answerlessness, pass through frightful muting, pass through the thousand darknesses of deathbringing speech. It passed through and gave back no words for that which happened; yet it passed through this happening. Passed through and could come to light again, ‘enriched’ by all this.”

Unable to find an owner... or even anyone willing to buy it... the Alachua County Sheriff's Office is looking to give away this goat, free of charge.
Hawthorne, Florida -- Deputies in one Florida county are looking for someone to take a goat off their hands.
Yes, an actual goat.
The Alachua County Sheriff's Office says back in September, a person came to them, saying they found a goat standing in the road in front of their home.
The goat was very friendly and described as being of "pet quality." But nobody in the neighborhood claimed it.
Unable to find the goat's owner, deputies ultimately took the animal to their livestock impound lot.
A public auction was held for the goat earlier in October... but no one turned out to put a bid on it.
Deputies are now planning to give away the animal, free of charge, this Friday at the Alachua Sheriff's Office located at 2621 SE Hawthorne Road.
Rural Services deputies will vet any potential owners. Anyone looking for more information can contact Rural Services at 352-367-4108.

Data breaches have troubled the U.S. market for a long time, but healthcare providers are the worst affected. According to the HIPAA journal, there were at least 342 healthcare security breaches reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2017.
The severity of these incidents has fallen compared to previous years, but the number of incidents continued to rise. The 342 incidents in 2017 were up from 270 in 2015, and 327 in 2016.
Given these continued risks, healthcare providers need to be aware of key security technologies in the market, including the latest developments in payment solutions.
EMV: The global standard to curb credit card fraud
Nearly everyone involved in accepting payment is aware of EMV migration by now. EMV uses microchips embedded in credit and debit cards, and it’s now the global standard for verifying the authenticity of cards at the point payment acceptance.
Major card brands have been driving adoption of EMV technologies and related payment solutions in the U.S., and non-compliant providers face liability for fraud chargebacks, and leave their systems highly vulnerable to security breaches. Whether it’s a hospital, clinic or urgent care unit, securely accepting payments with EMV-compliant technologies is crucial to avoiding security risks.
Upgrading to EMV should also make providers think about their overall payment acceptance infrastructure and look for opportunities for enhancements. Whether they look to accept mobile wallets or consider a semi-integrated approach for better security (see below), EMV is just the beginning.
Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE): The proven solution to reduce card data theft
Based on IBM’s Cost of Data Breach Study, healthcare organizations have an average cost of $355 per stolen data record. Based on IBM’s analysis, that puts the average cost of 2017’s data breaches at a staggering $3.62 million per incident.
One of the best ways to prevent these costly breaches is to deploy P2PE, which protects card data throughout the payment process—from start to finish. Across many industries, P2PE has become a standard method to secure card data from potential interception during payment processing.
For healthcare providers looking to provide their patients with a secure way to pay, it’s a proven solution that can help you protect your patient’s sensitive information while protecting your hospital or clinic.
Tokenization: Multi-layered security to protect cardholder data
Along with EMV and P2PE, tokenization is another important piece to a complete multi-layered security approach. It helps protect patients’ cardholder data when it’s being stored by your hospital or clinic. By replacing card data with a secure token during payment transactions, hackers are unable to access the actual card information.
In theory, even if they could breach your system, they can only access the encrypted tokens, which contain no card information. Along with P2PE and EMV, tokenization enables healthcare providers to limit the overall cardholder data risk environment and reduce PCI compliance scope. Reducing compliance scope delivers additional benefits in minimizing the time and cost required for audits.
Like EMV and P2PE, tokenization has become popular across industries and is a proven method of fully protecting a payment infrastructure.
Semi-Integrated Security Solutions: Reduce PCI scope, save time and money
A semi-integrated payment environment, as mentioned above, brings many benefits to healthcare providers. With this solution, healthcare providers can reduce their vulnerability to data breaches by keeping sensitive card data out of their revenue cycle environment.
In this payment environment, sensitive card data never comes in contact with your revenue cycle system or back office infrastructure. This strengthens payment security while it reduces the PCI scope of these systems. In the event of a data breach, it also means cyber criminals won’t gain access to any credit card information because the healthcare provider’s systems didn’t come in contact with it.
By keeping your revenue cycle system and back office systems out of the transaction flow, semi-integrated payment solutions reduce PCI scope. For healthcare providers, this can result in huge cost savings on compliance and increase the chances of a successful PCI audit. It also saves time because a PCI audit takes less time with a semi-integrated solution than it does with a fully integrated environment.
A semi-integrated solution also separates the healthcare provider’s systems from the payment process, which allows them to adopt changes or upgrades to their point of payment acceptance or back-office systems without affecting payment security. As payment technology evolves, this makes it easier for healthcare providers to be more agile and responsive to changing industry demands.
With EMV, a multi-layered security approach and semi-integrated security solutions, healthcare providers can provide powerful security and a faster, more convenient payment process for their patients.

Noosa Council, Election
Hon. GW ELMES (Noosa—LNP) (Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs and Minister Assisting the Premier) (2.35 pm): The Noosa shire is just over two months away from being restored to the position it enjoyed as a stand-alone local government area before the Beattie Labor government abolished it. Noosa residents will go to the polls on 9 November to elect its first council under the re-established Noosa shire. The election will be the last piece in the puzzle of restoring the former Noosa shire.
The installation of a renewed Noosa council from 1 January will be a proud moment for the many people who have fought for so long to have the council restored. That keenness to see the shire restored is reflected in the large field of candidates for election. Nominations closed at midday today, and I am advised that there are 19 nominees for six available councillor positions and there are two candidates for the position of mayor.
The Electoral Commission will need to validate all of these nominations and will formally declare eligible candidates tomorrow. I have every confidence that Noosa includes people of the highest calibre who can form a council which will be innovative, forward-looking and fair as it deals with the range of issues and opportunities facing our community.
Voting will be compulsory, but I doubt the people of Noosa need any sort of compulsion to make their way to a polling station. This is something Noosa residents have been waiting for. I would like to place on record here my thanks to the many organisations and individuals who have contributed to making the restoration of the Noosa shire a reality. Firstly, thank you to the Noosa Independence Alliance, a group made up predominantly of the Friends of Noosa and the Noosa Parks Association. They provided the catalyst for deamalgamation around which many others could gather and add their effort to the cause.
I would also like to thank the many thousands of Noosa residents who signed petitions and attended rallies. A particular group which deserves recognition is the 8,000 people—mostly from Noosa—who marched through the streets of Brisbane and demonstrated out the front of parliament in support of Noosa. I was very proud indeed to lead that march.
Noosa was steamrolled by the Beattie government in 2007, and the vote on 9 November will be the final step in a six-year fight by the people of Noosa to take back control of their destiny. It is now up to each and every resident who is eligible to vote to make sure that the mayor and six councillors we elect are up to the job and capable of guiding our community into the future. I have every confidence that that will be achieved and that Noosa council will resume its place as one of the state’s most innovative and community focused local government areas.

It was being used to rebuild a coastal walkway and sea wall at Dawlish that had been damaged by winter storms.
Network Rail said no-one was injured and it was investigating how the truck became "overwhelmed by the incoming tide".
It added the vehicle would be removed from the beach in the next few days and believed it had not been ruined.
The path and railway line in Dawlish were severely damaged by massive waves which left the south-west of England without a rail connection for two months.
The walkway is the final section of footpath between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth to be repaired following the damage. It is expected to be completed in 2015.

A Comedy Web Series Set in Small-town Spain
Tucked in a faraway corner of northern Andalucía lies a small Spanish town called La Puerta de Segura. It’s a farming village in a valley surrounded by olive trees, and for the past eight months I’ve been living here with my friend Ben Raznick. We are the only two Americans in this town of about 2,500 people, and we’re here on a government grant teaching English in the local schools.
Though we’re officially in Spain working as assistant teachers, in our free time we’ve also become self-taught filmmakers, having spent the past year producing a web series set here in our town. The series, called Pueblo, mixes elements of fiction and reality to tell the story of a quirky English teacher (Ben) adapting to life in small-town Spain. We’ve filmed the show as a mockumentary which follows the day-to-day life of Ben as he makes friends, falls in love, and ultimately becomes integrated into the town.
Although we first conceived of the idea for Pueblo last summer before we’d even landed on Spanish soil, much of the plot could not be developed until we actually moved here and got to know the community. Each of our eight episodes explores numerous facets of the local culture, from the language to the food to town events such as the patron saint festival. Some scenes are more fictitious than others, but one way or another the entire storyline has been shaped by real life experiences—even Ben’s interactions with his love interest, who happens to be a mannequin head named Erika Martínez.
Like the concept for our series, our teaser videos also tend to be a little offbeat. Rather than delve very far into the show’s plotline, our trailers are primarily intended to introduce the show’s main actors and give the audience a taste of our sense of humor and comedic style. Feel free to check them out at www.pueblotheseries.com and don’t forget to visit our site at the end of May to catch Pueblo’s online premiere. ¡Muchas gracias!

OR, CULTIVATE PLANTS TO COOK YOUR WAY TO OTHER COUNTRIES!
July 28th 2022
Since I last checked in my terrace jungle has blessed me with more than enough produce than I need on a daily basis. Despite the chemtrails it seems that my lovely jungle is thriving. I would highly recommend that people grow their own fruit and veg on their terraces if land isn’t available to them in the form of an allotment or a friends garden.
I have shared with neighbours and even after eating greedily and still was able to freeze three portions of beans yesterday! I also have frozen some squash as I did earlier this year with some of my brothers crop.
I’ve been eating salad of herbs, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and nasturtium every day and have had various combos of calaloo, squash, beans and potatoes for my veg with my dindins!
I have to confess that the naughty squash do like to grow outside the railings so I had to invent and make some string hammocks for them except for one big boy that grew between the railings just to make my life more complicated!
I had a drama getting it in as it weighed 2.9 kg. I sweated and swore as I perilously cut it with one hand and with the other wiggled it out from the railings, then lifted it over while tangled up with all the vines. They are quite prickly too, so with my trembling arms I navigated it over to safety! It was worth doing as I was terrified it would fall off and kill someone walking innocently below! Dangerous beasts.
I’ve also just started making my own bread. I’d forgotten it’s not a drama at all and so much more healthy and cheap. Take the bull by the horns girls and do it! The smell in the kitchen is amazing and it makes you feel all warm and safe. This goes side by side with making my own soap, body butter and tooth paste. You can escape all the nasty fluorides and chemicals that’s in the commercial crap. I’ll keep you posted on recipes and ingredients shortly but I have to run now!
Alert: although this had been written in a rambling way you’ll have to excuse me! Much like this whole experience, it’s been penned as an ongoing experiment. Just how do you gather your thoughts when undertaking far too many things? I’m happy that my life is busy with things I am passionate about but it does lead to cutting corners. Anyhow, I’ll correct and add later in my very impatient old bird way. Publish and be damned!
If you can’t get away but want to conjure up recipes with vegetables and herbs from distant parts of the world, get gardening and grow more exotic stuff than you can get locally. If you have access to a farmers market make sure the stall is organic at the least, biodynamic even better. The stuff I didn’t have time to grow this season might be available. There are weird and wonderful as well as things like stinging nettles that are extremely good for you.
While looking wistfully through James Wong’s Homegrown Revolution’ the other day, and seeing an article about growing potatoes on Mars, (yes you heard me right) I started to look at all the remarkable, lesser-known and easily grown, veggie stuff you could have ready this year to create an imaginary trip to another part of the planet in your garden and kitchen.
Now since originally writing this, I had to recognise I was running out of time to grow anything, let alone start with more exotic stuff and only managed to get non-GMO organic calaloo seeds on the go so I’ll just have to show you how I did on my small terrace in Soho with the more conventional fruit and veg.
Oh and I’ve just seen my black long beans are ready for a taster plate portion. There are loads but I have to have a nibble! Apparently, they grow to over a foot in length.
SOHO ORGANIC TERRACE ALLOTMENT.
Space is tight, and brushing off my gardening skills I began the good fight in May and have managed to get large unused planters from my neighbour, I started rehabilitating my sad-looking terrace. Boy, oh boy, that was a formidable job and made more challenging by being broke.
My nod to Peru was by getting a whole load of pink fir apple potatoes to plant in some nifty sacks that have a velcro ‘door’ on the sides to peek at your produce. I got that done straight away as I was already late with it, and had to go to a pet shop to procure some hay for mulch.
I battled on with my pathetic bits until my brother gave me excellent advice about ‘starting off’ your seeds in an airing cupboard. I then went down to Sevenoaks to a great pub and did a swap of seedlings. With much-excited swapping of gossip and top tips and wine, he gave me some tubers of Jerusalem artichokes that he had in another bag. These were very special as they were from our dad’s stock that Mark had received from him many years ago. We solemnly reflected the flatulent tubers had now been passed on to another member of the family. Drunken, sentimental tears in our eyes we reflected the many years of farts these noble veg had given to friends and family. I would think it would put cows belching to shame in comparison.
Anyhoo! This swapping and relearning of the nuances of growing fresh fruit and veg continued, and it’s been so lovely and therapeutic that it has added an extra layer of love to this venture.
The emptying of my neighbour’s troughs and moving them up to my terrace was a huge physical challenge but well worth it. It was done over the course of two days along with some Victorian chimney funnel bricks to raise them and make it less back-breaking than grovelling around on the floor. I also have used one of my kitchen benches to raise smaller pots.
Now, this is so completely alien to me as I learned about crop growing when I was still a child at our cottage on a farm. There I had access to wheelbarrows of horse poo straw and well, just the shit too, that dad and I would squabble about. Also, it was a lot of land, and the soil was already rich and established. We watered easily by hose or from the pond and had a ramshackle greenhouse with all sorts of bits and bobs one gathers over a long period of time. No such luck here, up to twenty watering cans a day up the stairs.
I started with nothing and I was not happy!!!!
I persevered however and things, as they do in life, got organised and I saw light at the end of my tiny terrace tunnel.
Once I got my lovingly donated lettuces, artichokes and tomatoes in I felt more encouraged and, waiting on every sack of compost very impatiently, I finally lovingly placed My non-GMO organic seedlings of squash, cucumbers and beans in the second trough. Everything was far too close together but I had decided to go jungle as I had so little space.
Last week dill, chilli plants and a fresh sowing of lettuce amaranth seeds went in to replace all the stuff I’ve eaten. I’m finally at one with it all despite having to carry up watering cans of water every day (I have a very thirsty crop and the smaller pots dry out very quickly) I have had two failures. Radishes which just don’t like me (I will try again with some black radishes soon) and my Swiss rainbow chard started well then got sulky and refused to grow more so that’s been taken out today and two leftover cucumbers have gone in.
My trees look happy again now they have company and my fig is growing a lot of fruit which I hope will thrive. I feel that I have mastered this type of cultivation as well as can be expected, and all my old knowledge has been refreshed and honed for what I hope will be a substantial piece of land abroad in the future.
Any tips would be gratefully received!

Russian Polar Bear 'Invasion' Is a Sign of Something Much Bigger
Media reports and video footage show the bears eating garbage, appearing near school grounds and entering buildings and residential homes.
Officials said they've never seen anything like it.
"I have been in Novaya Zemlya since 1983, but there has never been so many polar bears in the vicinity," said Zhigansha Musin, a local administrative head, according to Russian news agency TASS.
The bears are considered an endangered species in Russia, so killing them is prohibited. But officials said that if non-lethal means cannot drive the animals away, they might have no choice but to cull them, the BBC noted.
The officials said the bears no longer fear either police patrols or the signals used to scare them away.
Bear invasion - 3 www.youtube.com
Some 52 polar bears have been counted near the settlement since December.
Local official Alexander Minayev said the bears were exhibiting "aggressive behavior," including "attacks on people and entering residential homes and public buildings," AFP reported.
"There are constantly six to 10 bears inside the settlement," he said. "People are scared, they are afraid to leave their homes ... parents are frightened to let their children go to schools and kindergartens."
In the Russian Arctic, the polar cap and permafrost is melting twice as fast compared to a decade ago due to rising global temperatures. The dwindling sea ice has forced polar bears to abandon their usual habitats and descend upon human settlements in search of food.
In a statement to TASS, researcher Ilya Mordvintsev of the Severtsev Institute of Ecology and Evolution said the bears were migrating north but stopped in Belushya Guba to find food.
"Compared to previous years, they come ashore in the southern part of the archipelago, where the ice is changing. They migrate through Novaya Zemlya heading north, where the ice is solid," the expert said. "It is migration from the south to the north. They are staying in that location [near Belushya Guba] because there is some alternative food. They could have gone past but for the food. But as there are bins with edible waste, they stop to flock."
Federal authorities in Moscow are sending a team of investigators to look into the situation, AFP reported. So far, they have refused permission to shoot the bears but they have not ruled out a cull.

The world awakened to the hole in the ozone layer in 1985, which scientists attributed it to ozone depleting substances. Two years later, in Montreal, the world agreed to ban the halogen compounds causing the massive hole over Antarctica. Research now shows that those chemicals didn't just cut a hole in the ozone layer, they also warmed up the Arctic.
Formosa Plant May Still Be Releasing Plastic Pollution in Texas After $50M Settlement, Activists Find
On the afternoon of Jan. 15, activist Diane Wilson kicked off a San Antonio Estuary Waterkeeper meeting on the side of the road across from a Formosa plastics manufacturing plant in Point Comfort, Texas.
After Wilson and the waterkeeper successfully sued Formosa in 2017, the company agreed to no longer release even one of the tiny plastic pellets known as nurdles into the region's waterways. The group of volunteers had assembled that day to check whether the plant was still discharging these raw materials of plastics manufacturing.

Breast enhancement, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, will be the medical procedure to improve the size, shape, and texture of a woman’s mammary glands. As soon as the almost-exclusive domain to starlets and models, these surgeries have get far more commonplace. With continued advances from the technology and items used, it has become easier and far better to find the body image any particular one wants to achieve.
Most of these procedures can also be playing an essential part inside the lives of girls who will be working with the task of cancer. Reconstructive procedures that follow a mastectomy not only repair the physical damage due to the disease, but additionally perform a significant, psychological function by letting the sufferer stand before the world and proclaim: "I’m a survivor, and i also feel in the same way attractive as always before."
Tools With the Trade
Modern breast enhancement utilizes two various kinds of implants: saline and silicone. Each product has its own benefits and downfalls that the two patient along with the doctor must consider when deciding to undergo this sort of operation.
Printed in France, the saline implant was used as a prosthetic device in 1964. Modern implants use a vulcanized shell made from silicone elastomer, plus they are filled up with a solution of saltwater and sodium chloride. The goal ended up being to have a less invasive technique where jail implant can be placed, therefore the surgeon would grow it with the saline solution. Rates of deflation and leakage made the saline implant the 2nd decision for enhancement surgery. However, FDA restrictions around the importation of silicone-filled implants from the 1990s have, again, made the saline-filled products the key option.
The contemporary silicone implant device originated in the United States in 1961. It had been used in the 1st enhancement mammaplasty in 1962. Since that initial application, the silicone implant moved through five generations of improvement and enhancement. Each generational model had functional changes that were designed to raise the aesthetic qualities and functionality of the implant.
Each generation had unique design changes that mirrored advances in medical technology. The first generation implants utilized thinner materials for your shell. Subsequently, the other generation models added a polyurethane coating to reduce the danger of inflammation. The double-lumen from the "Becker Expandable" model was the next generational change. This took over as the primary application for reconstructive procedures.
An essential feature with the fourth generation of implants was the creation of more anatomically correct appliances would more accurately mirror the body structures from the girls that would receive them. This made the outcome in the procedure more aesthetically "natural" and desirable. The fifth generation of devices introduced the usage of a semi-solid gel that has reduced the incidences of shell rupture and improved safety to the patient.
Regardless which kind of breast implant surgery device or procedure is selected, it is very important the reason is that implants are not designed being permanent. Future surgeries are usually necesary to exchange or customize the products if there are physical or mechanical problems that must be corrected. Additionally, patients should have MRI scans, as directed by the treating surgeon, in order that there isn’t any difficulties with leakage or ruptures.
The positive, psychological impact of breast enlargement cannot be overstated. Creating a positive self-image of the body generates a a sense well-being that transcends to all elements of day to day living. That sort of emotional enhancement comes with a intrinsic value that stretches beyond the financial expense of the task.
