Covid: Masks to remain compulsory on London transport – BBC News

Sadiq Khan said he was not prepared to put Tube, tram and other transport users at risk by relaxing the rules on face coverings.

Face masks have been mandatory on public transport for the past year to reduce the spread of the virus.

But those rules will be replaced with government guidance advising passengers to wear masks only on busy services.

Jamaica set to seek compensation from Britain over slave trade – The Washington Post

Jamaica is preparing to request compensation from Britain over its role in the transatlantic slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries — when at least 600,000 Africans were shipped to the Caribbean as enslaved people — Jamaican officials told Reuters. Jamaica long served as a key node in a slave trade network that spanned continents, driven by Spain and then Britain. The country, a former British colony independent since 1962, is set to seek reparations in a petition submitted to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s minister of sports, youth and culture, told Reuters her government would seek “reparatory justice in all forms” to “repair the damages that our ancestors experienced.”

QAnon-Supporting Senate Candidate Attacked by QAnon (Me: ROTFLMAO)

An evangelical pastor hoping to unseat Oklahoma Senator James Lankford by embracing QAnon has, ironically, been accused of devil worship and child sex trafficking by QAnon after he posted a photograph of his daughter wearing red shoes—an unequivocal sign that one is a Satan-worshipping pedophile to the fringe conspiracy group. Who would have thought that a group that finds Satanists and child traffickers behind every pizza oven would turn on one of their own over some inconsequential detail!

Russia’s pandemic website stops reporting number of active coronavirus cases — Meduza

The Russian government’s online hub for the pandemic, stopkorona.rf, has stopped publishing statistics on the number of active coronavirus cases across the country.

Previously, the overall number of people currently sick with the coronavirus was included in the website’s “real-time data” section; there were also detailed statistics broken down by region. According to a web archive, this information hasn’t been published on the website since July 8. At the time, Russia had 423,422 active cases.

Based on the total number of infections minus the sum of recoveries and fatalities, the number of active coronaviru

Pustite djecu da skaču

Vivaldi translated: Let the kids jump
19JAN 2021

Research has shown that spontaneous jumping is good for children’s health for several reasons. Jumping is a real cardiovascular exercise, a training that strengthens the heart and muscles. It improves the coordination of toddlers, because they use both sides of the brain and body during this activity to maintain balance. Then, when they jump, they stimulate the lymph, and thus eliminate toxins from the body. And most importantly, jumping makes them happy.

Myrela

Istraživanja su pokazala da je spontano skakanje dobro za zdravlje djece iz nekoliko razloga. Skakanje je prava kardiovaskularna vježba, trening koji jača srce i mišiće. Poboljšava koordinaciju mališana, jer oni tokom te aktivnosti koriste obje strane mozga i tijela kako bi održali ravnotežu. Zatim, kada skaču, stimulišu limfu, a samim tim eliminišu i toksine iz organizma. I što je najvažnije, skakanje ih čini srećnim.

Suavemente, transitan las nubes plomadas que derraman la llovizna, se diluyen los minutos callados y pasajeros, vuelan las golondrinas y se van las mañanas y las tardes, los mediodías y las noches, como se fuga la vida sin darnos cuenta. Silenciosamente, el sol asoma en el horizonte, al amanecer, mientras contempla el trigal dorado y se mira en los charcos, en las represas y en los lagos, para más tarde, previo a la noche, acudir, puntualmente, a su cita con el oleaje jade y turquesa del mar que, enamorado, se matiza de amarillo, naranja, dorado y rojizo, hasta que las sombras nocturnas los cobijan. Serenamente, la noche descubre su velo, desnuda su esencia y regala el brillo distante de estrellas, luceros que cuelgan y decoran la pinacoteca celeste, destellos que prometen otros sueños, mundos tan grandiosos o pequeños como…
