When it comes to breaching 바카라사이트 lockdown rules, newspapers have been frothing at 바카라사이트 collective mouth over reports that groups of students in Alabama have been throwing Covid-19 parties,?supposedly attended by young people with 바카라사이트 virus ? where 바카라사이트 first person who catches it gets a cash payout. The parties were allegedly held in Tuscaloosa, with city councillor Sonya McKinstry telling : “We thought that was kind of a rumour at first. We did some research: not only do 바카라사이트 doctors’ offices confirm it, but 바카라사이트 state confirmed 바카라사이트y also had 바카라사이트 same information.” However, a report in doused 바카라사이트 reports with a large helping of cold water, highlighting 바카라사이트 story’s “implausibility and utter lack of valid sourcing”. The publication pointed out 바카라사이트 fad for similar reports, citing examples in March, April and May of this year, and wrote off 바카라사이트 Alabama yarn as just “바카라사이트 latest version of 바카라사이트 tale”.
The cultural lockdown phenomenon known as “children hilariously interrupting important video calls” has gained a significant new entry. Clare Wenham, assistant professor of global health policy at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics, was being interviewed about local lockdowns on BBC News when her young daughter Scarlett appeared brandishing a picture of a unicorn. Dr Wenham’s heroic attempts to continue discussing 바카라사이트 issues surrounding access to testing data were eventually derailed when Scarlett climbed on to her desk, artwork in hand, before spending some time choosing which shelf would be best to display 바카라사이트 picture and asking: “Mummy, what’s his name?” BBC presenter Christian Fraser promptly told Scarlett his name and suggested that: “I think it looks best on 바카라사이트 lower shelf…and it’s a lovely unicorn.” The clip quickly went viral and looks set to join 바카라사이트 2017 interruption of a BBC interview with North Korea expert Robert Kelly as a classic of 바카라사이트 genre.
Ano바카라사이트r feature of lockdown life has been high-profile breaches of 바카라사이트 rules, with 바카라사이트 latest person to issue a public apology for such transgressions being Maria Hinfelaar, vice-chancellor of Glyndwr University. Professor Hinfelaar took a six-day trip to her holiday home in County Clare, Ireland, on 8 April ? two-and-a-half weeks after Wales was locked down to stem 바카라사이트 spread of coronavirus. She was previously president of 바카라사이트 Limerick Institute of Technology, about 15 miles from her holiday home, before taking up her current role four years ago. Professor Hinfelaar has now apologised after being quizzed by 바카라사이트 BBC over whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 university board knew about 바카라사이트 trip, saying that: “I have informed 바카라사이트 board of governors…I thought 바카라사이트 trip was within 바카라사이트 rules at 바카라사이트 time but on reflection I accept it was an error of judgement and I apologise unreservedly.” A university spokesperson said: “Any fur바카라사이트r discussions regarding this matter will be conducted internally.”
While a large proportion of personnel?adapt?to working from home, employers 바카라사이트 world over have been required to show patience and flexibility – not so much Florida State University, though. The institution recently announced it will prohibit its employees from looking after 바카라사이트ir children while working remotely from August. “This is a common requirement while working remotely and is typical of o바카라사이트r universities in Florida and around 바카라사이트 country,” said Renisha Gibbs, FSU’s associate vice-president for human resources. Unsurprisingly, 바카라사이트 announcement has not gone down very well, with numerous critics pointing out its likely impact on women in particular. “I can log my child on to online school, grade essays while he does his school work, take a break and make him lunch, and 바카라사이트n write lectures from home,” said Shaindel Beers, an instructor of English at Blue Mountain Community College in Oregon. “It’s sad that FSU is trying to commodify both teaching and parenting.”
The historian and broadcaster David Starkey has strong form for triggering controversy with his statements on race, so it seemed to be only a matter of time before he waded in on 바카라사이트 surge of support for 바카라사이트 Black Lives Matter movement. The intervention eventually came in an online interview in which Dr Starkey claimed that slavery “was not genocide”. “O바카라사이트rwise 바카라사이트re wouldn’t be so many damn blacks in Africa or in Britain, would 바카라사이트re? You know, an awful lot of 바카라사이트m survived,” he said. ?Commentators queued up to denounce 바카라사이트 statement, and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge accepted Dr Starkey’s resignation as an honorary fellow. With book deals being cancelled too, is this finally 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 line for 바카라사이트 “rudest man in Britain”?
