TIME FOR US THE PEOPLE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS
IT'S TIME TO CALL TO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING DELIVERY DRIVER S TO SUPERMARKET S WHO DON'T WEAR A MASK WHEN ENTERING THE SUPERMARKET TO DELIVER GOODS _I ALSO BLAME THE SUPERMARKET BOSSES FOR NOT ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW._CO _OP.
MORRISTON S SUPERMARKET SO ARE SO BAD IT'S LIKE THE WILD WEST NO ENFORCEMENT OF WEARING OF MASKS_SOCIAL DISTANCING _NO PRODUCTS SUPPLIED FOR CLEANINGOF HANDS.
AS FOR MASK EXEMPTIONS SOME PEOPLE ARE ABUSING SYSTEM FOR THIER OWN NEEDS.
MOST PEOPLE COULD WEAR A FACE SHIELD IF MASK IS NOT POSSIBLE.
ALL PEOPLE NEED TO DO IS FOLLOW THREE SIMPLE RULES TO STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID 19
#WEAR A MASK #WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY #SOCIAL DISTANCE IT WILL SLOW DOWN THE VIRUS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SAVE LIVES ANYONE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THIS IS A COMPLETE IDIOT.
AS FOR CHRISTMAS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE A QUIET ONE THIS YEAR AND NO NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS IF NOT WHAT'S THE POINT AS THE R WILL RAISE _HOSPITAL S WILL BE OVERRUN AND PEOPLE WILL DIE.
What a face covering is
In the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, a face covering is something which safely covers the nose and mouth. You can buy reusable or single-use face coverings. You may also use a scarf, bandana, religious garment or hand-made cloth covering but these must securely fit round the side of the face.
Face coverings are not classified as PPE (personal protective equipment) which is used in a limited number of settings to protect wearers against hazards and risks, such as surgical masks or respirators used in medical and industrial settings.
Face coverings are instead largely intended to protect others, not the wearer, against the spread of infection because they cover the nose and mouth, which are the main confirmed sources of transmission of virus that causes coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
If you wish to find out more about the differences between surgical face masks, PPE face masks, and face coverings see the MHRA’s (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) regulatory status of equipment being used to help prevent coronavirus (COVID-19).
When to wear a face covering
There are some places where you must wear a face covering by law. Different rules exist in different parts of the UK. You can find out more on the relevant regional websites:
In England, you must wear a face covering in the following indoor settings (from 5 November, see the guidance on national restrictions to find out which of these settings remain open to the public):
- public transport (aeroplanes, trains, trams and buses)
- taxis and private hire vehicles
- transport hubs (airports, rail and tram stations and terminals, maritime ports and terminals, bus and coach stations and terminals)
- shops and supermarkets (places which offer goods or services for retail sale or hire)
- shopping centres (malls and indoor markets)
- auction houses
- premises providing hospitality (bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes), except when seated at a table to eat or drink (see exemptions)
- post offices, banks, building societies, high-street solicitors and accountants, credit unions, short-term loan providers, savings clubs and money service businesses
- estate and lettings agents
- theatres
- premises providing personal care and beauty treatments (hair salons, barbers, nail salons, massage centres, tattoo and piercing parlours)
- premises providing veterinary services
- visitor attractions and entertainment venues (museums, galleries, cinemas, theatres, concert halls, cultural and heritage sites, aquariums, indoor zoos and visitor farms, bingo halls, amusement arcades, adventure activity centres, indoor sports stadiums, funfairs, theme parks, casinos, skating rinks, bowling alleys, indoor play areas including soft-play areas)
- libraries and public reading rooms
- places of worship
- funeral service providers (funeral homes, crematoria and burial ground chapels)
- community centres, youth centres and social clubs
- exhibition halls and conference centres
- public areas in hotels and hostels
- storage and distribution facilities
You are expected to wear a face covering before entering any of these settings and must keep it on until you leave unless there is a reasonable excuse for removing it.
You should also wear a face covering in indoor places not listed here where social distancing may be difficult and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
Face coverings are needed in NHS settings, including hospitals and primary or community care settings, such as GP surgeries. They are also advised to be worn in care homes.
The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its guidance on the use of face coverings for schools and other education institutions that teach people in Year 7 and above in England.
Enforcement measures for failing to comply with this law
Premises where face coverings are required should take reasonable steps to promote compliance with the law.
The police can take measures if members of the public do not comply with this law without a valid exemption and transport operators can deny access to their public transport services if a passenger is not wearing a face covering, or direct them to wear one or leave a service.
If necessary, the police and Transport for London (TfL) officers have enforcement powers including issuing fines of £200 (reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days) for the first offence.
Repeat offenders receiving fines on public transport or in an indoor setting will have their fines doubled at each offence.
After the first offence, there will be no discount. For example, receiving a second fine will amount to £400 and a third fine will be £800, up to a maximum value of £6,400.
When you do not need to wear a face covering
In settings where face coverings are required in England, there are some circumstances where people may not be able to wear a face covering. From 5 November, see the guidance on national restrictions to find out which of these settings remain open to the public.
Please be mindful and respectful of such circumstances, noting that some people are less able to wear face coverings, and that the reasons for this may not be visible to others.
This includes (but is not limited to):
- children under the age of 11 (Public Health England does not recommend face coverings for children under the age of 3 for health and safety reasons)
- people who cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability
- where putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress
- if you are speaking to or providing assistance to someone who relies on lip reading, clear sound or facial expressions to communicate
- to avoid harm or injury, or the risk of harm or injury, to yourself or others ‒ including if it would negatively impact on your ability to exercise or participate in a strenuous activity
- police officers and other emergency workers, given that this may interfere with their ability to serve the public
There are also scenarios where you are permitted to remove a face covering:
- if asked to do so in a bank, building society, or post office for identification
- if asked to do so by shop staff or relevant employees for identification, for assessing health recommendations (for example by a pharmacist), or for age identification purposes including when buying age restricted products such as alcohol
- if required in order to receive treatment or services, for example when getting a facial
- in order to take medication
- if you are delivering a sermon or prayer in a place or worship
- if you are the persons getting married in a relevant place
- if you are aged 11 to 18 attending a faith school and having lessons in a place of worship as part of your core curriculum
- if you are undertaking exercise or an activity and it would negatively impact your ability to do so
- if you are an elite sports person, professional dancer or referee acting in the course of your employment
- when seated to eat or drink in a hospitality premise such as a pub, bar, restaurant or cafe. You must put a face covering back on once you finish eating or drinking

Website -https://carolsoloway.com
Dr. Carol Soloway writes contemporary fiction set in Orange County, California. After decades of writing medical legal reports, Dr. Soloway picked up her pen and decided to write stories about a young woman who discovers her resilience. Soloway explores marriage, motherhood and sex and what well do for each.
In SEX HAPPENS, her first bestselling novel, the main character faces a custody battle so poisonous it threatens to become murderous. In GRACIE’S GONE, her recently published novel, the blended family is thrust into a nightmare when their six-year-old daughter is abducted.
The Surprise Circus with her six-year-old granddaughter, Aria Soloway, is her most gratifying accomplishment.
It was Dr, Carol’s idea to write a story, but it was her granddaughter’s imagination that sparked and drove the story! Dr. Carol and Aria created the story about six-year-old Aria who was disappointed because the circus didn’t come to her town. When she calls the ringmaster, he responds by sending Aria a circus character each week and their mischievous antics will delight and dazzle children: The strongman lifts all the furniture, the juggler throws her baby sister in the air, the fire eaters burns down the curtains, the clowns throw her mommy’s fresh baked pie in the air, etc..
Aria learns when she believes in herself, she can achieve great things—even something as amazing as becoming the ringmaster of her own circus. She also learns she has to be hungry in order to achieve success. These messages from the great motivational speaker Les Brown, who wrote the foreword, will encourage and motivate parents as well as children.
Since Les Brown and Dr. Carol are concerned about the negative impact of the world events on children, they want to get this positive book into the hands of as many children as possible.
In SEX HAPPENS, her first bestselling novel, Soloway explores marriage, motherhood and sex and what well do for each. The main character faces a custody battle so poisonous it threatens to become murderous.
In GRACIE’S GONE, her second bestselling novel which received a Readers’ Choice awrd, a blended family is thrust into a nightmare when their six-year-old daughter is abducted. GRACIE’S GONE was picked up by an agent who is presenting it for book-to-movie.
She has just completed a children’s book,THE SURPRISE CIRCUS, which is a story about the amazing things that happen to a six-year-old girl when she believes in herself and is hungry to achieve her dream.
ARIA SOLOWAY
Aria Soloway is a six-year-old girl who loves wearing sparkly dresses, riding the bus to kindergarten with her bus buddies, exploring new places with her mommy and daddy, playing with her baby sister, doing ballet, playing the piano, and eating pasta. She’s excited about writing many more books and meeting friends like you at book signings everywhere.
OLIVIA TARGETT
Multi-talented artist, cartoonist and animator, Olivia Targett, 15, is an Australian born Marvel loyalist now living, sketching and creating in the United States.
Book BLURB
When the circus doesn’t come to her town, six-year-old Aria is disappointed. She calls the ringmaster of the circus and asks him to send the circus, but he doesn’t. Instead, the craziest things start to happen!
Every week, the ringmaster sends Aria a package—each containing an amazing circus character. But Aria has to put the circus characters in the backyard because each one does something very silly that upsets her mommy and daddy: the magician hides her baby sister, the strongman lifts all the furniture, and the juggler throws everything, even her baby sister, in the air, and the fire eater burns the curtains.
The circus people ask Aria to become their ringmaster, but she isn’t sure she is brave enough to speak in front of lots of people. Aria starts to think about all the things she can do—all the things she’s great at. She learns to believe in herself and is willing to work hard. She realizes she can do anything—even run The Surprise Circus.

Your brain is better with exercise πͺ
Your brain is better with exercise πͺ
Doctors and neuroscientists have long espoused the brain benefits of exercise.Working out can enhance memory, speed up reaction times, improve attention, and alleviate depression. It may even stave off neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.In the brain, exercise increases levels of important hormones and neurochemicals that help forge connections between brain cells. The star of the show is a growth hormone called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF.BDNF helps the brain build new connections, or synapses, between neurons, which are the foundation for learning. Many of these synapses are built in the hippocampus, the brain’s mood and memory hub, and in the prefrontal cortex, which is where higher-level executive functions originate, like decision-making and attention.Exercise also raises levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and endogenous opioids (also known as endorphins), which are critical for regulating mood, motivation, and feelings of reward.“Exercise seems to be good for practically every function in the brain and body,” says Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA. If exercise were a drug, we would say its benefits were too good to be true.So what type of exercise is best for your brain? Research suggests that higher-intensity workouts may provide the biggest cognitive benefits, but the mood boost occurs no matter your exertion level. Really, the best exercise regimen is one that you enjoy and will do again the next day.

#Scholarship Strategies: Finding and Winning the Money You Need
Website -https://www.connections101.com
Jean O’Toole grew up in Western Massachusetts in a family focused on “money missions”. Her dedicated parents taught her the value of working hard and that, when necessary, second and third jobs were an opportunity and not a hardship. Her father’s words, “Much can be accomplished, if you are willing to work hard for it” became a mantra that she still carries with her today.
As a recipient of an academic college scholarship as well as several outside scholarships she was able to attend Wagner College and graduated with a B.S. in Arts Administration in 1997. Although her scholarship was generous, it still required her and her family to pay for the remainder of her education with student loans. Knowing that the debt would need to be paid off after receiving her degree, she was focused on positioning herself for immediate employment upon graduation. Her “money mission” focus motivated her to completing six internships while in college and also work multiple part time jobs. She witnessed student after student expecting their parents, college counselors and professors to open doors of opportunity for them, when in fact it was the student’s life not the parent’s life. She welcomed and was grateful for any “help” along the way, but embraced her philosophy, “If it is to be, it is up to me”.
Post college, her professional life did in fact have an incredible jump start. Within a few years she was touring the United States as a presenter and motivator for large groups of students and parents. In 2003 she began the research for “Scholarship Strategies- Finding and Winning the Money You Need” as it became clear that students and parents were most concerned about the rising cost of college. In her research she learned that there had been so much more scholarship opportunities than she had been aware of while she was in high school or college. She recognized that if more students and parents knew more about outside scholarships, than financial obstacles could be removed. She learned that, although there are no guarantees of winning scholarships, that a personal commitment to applying for as many as possible can obviously improve chances.
In 2005 she was accepted into the prestigious Monster’s Making It Count student speaker program, which helped her fine tune her communication skills for audiences of 1000+ students and parents. She will be forever grateful for the tools she learned through their training which helped her connect and empower students to take action in their lives.
In 2008 she joined Connections 101 in New York City, a company dedicated to helping students overcome obstacles to craft paths of accomplishment. With their incredible support, her scholarship strategy program has become a staple for many high schools. “Scholarship Strategies – Finding and Winning the Money You Need” has enabled thousands of students to start money missions.
Smart Edition Media understands that many students in need of test prep materials will want to take advantage of scholarship opportunities along the way. We want to encourage everyone to make the most out of their educational endeavors, which is why we are happy to be sharing Miss O'Toole's work.
Book BLURB
Scholarship Strategies empowers students to be uniquely proactive towards their scholarship search process, enabling them to find more scholarships than with the traditional approach through the guidance and college offices at their schools.
The current approach to finding scholarships to reduce college costs is not giving families the results they need. College costs continue to rise and so does student loan debt. As a recipient of an academic college scholarship as well as several outside scholarships, Jean O’Toole was able to attend Wagner College, but she and her family still had to pay for the remainder of her education with student loans. A different approach is needed to provide families with different results.
In Scholarship Strategies, Jean simplifies the scholarship application process in easy-to-follow steps which any student can incorporate into their already busy schedules. She provides students and parents with a clear plan to decipher which scholarships have the best chances of winning and should be applied to. This easy-to-follow, out-of-the-box approach was developed over a decade of working with thousands of students, giving students and families ownership of the scholarship search process to build on the efforts that their school counselors are already providing. A future can be designed without college debt, and Scholarship Strategies with its 25 clear strategies, along with 15 additional ways to reduce college costs, helps students live that future.
