Mark Shields: This President Knows Television! (Creators Syndicate)
Sorry, Mr. President, I know it's painful to confront, but you are not "good" on television in the spring of 2020. Your daily exposure on the tube is not helping the situation. Politically, you're hurting yourself and only helping Joe Biden and the Democrats.


Jenna Amatulli: "'Atlanta Angel' Tyler Perry Paid For Seniors' Groceries At More Than 70 Stores" (Huffington Post)
The actor, writer and director purchased goods for elderly shoppers at 44 Kroger stores in Atlanta and 29 Winn-Dixie stores in Louisiana.


Marc Dion: Bipartisan Groceries (Creators Syndicate)
It's been a little hard to get groceries lately, what with the coronavirus hoax still abroad in the land of the free. Still, no matter how many the hoax kills, I have to go to work, and I have to go to the grocery store. After retiring from the newspaper business, I took a job doing talk radio. Imagine my surprise when I was declared an "essential employee."


Froma Harrop: "COVID-19: Pearl Harbor - or War of the Worlds?" (Creators Syndicate)
The eventual "defeat" of the coronavirus will probably come out of discoveries seeable only under a microscope. One promising approach could involve harvesting the antibodies of humans who have recovered from the disease and injecting them in others to help them fight off the virus. Antibodies are believed to protect against a return of the deadly microorganism, though a few former patients have reportedly been infected again.


Susan Estrich: Counting Candy Bars (Creators Syndicate)
My first non-waitressing job was counting candy bars in the basement of a Sears/Roebuck warehouse in Boston. Within weeks, having demonstrated my great prowess, I moved on to Twinkies, Ring Dings and my absolutely favorites, Coffee Cakes. The job was not without its challenges, the biggest of them keeping a running total of how much the stock guys and I were consuming so I could adjust the totals accordingly.


Lenore Skenazy: Post-Traumatic Surprise (Creators Syndicate)
So, here's something you might not have heard of: post-traumatic growth. I promise I am not making this up just to cheer anybody up. But I hope it does cheer you up, because it's real. "We are far more resilient than we give each other credit for," says Dr. Samantha Boardman, founder of the website Positive Prescription and assistant attending psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. And the research proves it.


Susan Estrich: Sleepless in Santa Monica (Creators Syndicate)
Like most of you my age, I discovered - maybe earlier than most - that you do what you have to do, survive what you cannot change. Not that it's easy. But you do it. And after I collapsed on a sidewalk in New York almost 10 years ago, stressed, exhausted and dehydrated, the doctors were unsure whether I had a seizure, but the sensible neurologist I was lucky enough to see explained to me that anyone can seize if the body is stressed enough, and - this was the important part, since I was always stressed enough - the best way to protect against that is to sleep, seven hours every night.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Where is Campobello, the summer retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt, located?


       New Brunswick, Canada                                                      Source


Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves the house and surrounding landscape of the summer retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt and their family. It is located on the southern tip of Campobello Island in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, and is connected to the mainland by the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, at Lubec, Maine in the United States. Here in August 1921, 39-year-old Roosevelt, who would go on to become the 32nd President of the United States, was stricken by a severe paralytic illness, believed to be polio at the time, leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down. FDR was no longer able to stay at the "beloved island", but he sailed there in 1933 and visited briefly in 1936 and 1939. Eleanor Roosevelt loved the cool summer weather and visited many times with her children and friends. After her death in 1962, the family deeded the property to the governments of the U.S. and Canada.

The park is owned and administered by the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission, created by international treaty signed by Governor General Georges Vanier, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, and President Lyndon B. Johnson on January 22, 1964. The park was established on July 7, 1964. Both countries provide financial support to the park. It is an affiliated area of Parks Canada and of the U.S. National Park Service.        Source







Mark. was first, and correct, with:
   Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada.

Alan J answered:
   New Brunswick, Canada.



Mac Mac replied:
   Maine



Dave responded:
   Canada. Specifically, it is Campobello Island and part of the province of New Brunswick. The island is just off the northern coast of Maine. FDR's mother gave him the luxurious 34 room cottage and grounds as a wedding present. Although there is a bridge to Maine it wasn't opened until 1962, so FDR travelled to the Island by ferry. FDR was staying at Campobello Island in 1921 when he was stricken by the illness (possibly polio) that crippled him. His annual visits ended after that, although he visited twice as POTUS before WWII. Eleanor and their children continued visit the summer house on Campobello Island until her death in 1962. The cottage and the 5 acre grounds are now part of a 2,800 acre international park jointly owned by the US and Canada.

Wa-a-a-a-ay downeast as part of New Brunswick, Canada... There's a bridge that connects the island to Lubec, Maine so the poor Canucks there (bless 'em) have to drive thru the US to reach the rest of the Dominion... Plus, their mail goes thru the US so is liable to US Customs, which the Canucks (again, bless 'em) highly resent... Oh, the tides run about 20 feet twice a day...



   Lubec is the easternmost town in the continental US and has this iconic lighthouse, West Quoddy Head...



   That's Campobello Island you see beyond... It was sweet duty for a CG Boatswain's Mate 1/c and his family when I was stationed in Maine during the early '80s at Rockland, Penobscot Bay...



   Below is Whitehead Island Light, Sprucehead, Maine, where I was oh-too-briefly Officer in Charge during that period. It was a 'Bachelor Light', just 3 guys rotating 2 weeks on, 1 week off with us having apartments on the mainland when on liberty... It was sweet duty, as well...



  As all US lighthouses are automated now, you can say that you know someone who was one of the last of the US lighthouse keepers...

Anecdotes


Rehearsals

• Soccer and Cup Final day are important in England. Once, the noted conductor Sir Thomas Beecham held a rehearsal on Cup Final day. The rehearsal had been going on for only a short time when a giant television was delivered to the rehearsal area. Sir Thomas then said, "Now, gentlemen, let's get down to the most important business of the day - watching the match."



Revenge

• Perhaps the most famous of all operatic mishaps occurred in 1961 at the City Center in New York because stagehands got angry at a soprano who was temperamental. At the end of the opera Tosca, the soprano, playing the lead role, was to throw herself off the battlements of a castle - landing, of course, on soft padding in the orchestra pit out of sight of the audience. But for this performance, the stagehands substituted a trampoline for the usual soft padding, so that the soprano bounced back into the full view of the audience.


• Maria Callas once behaved badly to fellow singer Leonne Mills, so Ms. Mills took revenge. She was singing Inez in Il Trovatore, and just before going on stage, she ate a large onion, and then sang her role directly into Ms. Callas' face.



Songwriters

• As a famous singer, Nat King Cole was besieged by songwriters who wanted him to record their songs. He was once trapped in a men's room by a songwriter who showed him his manuscript. Mr. Cole told the songwriter, "Please! Not here!" On another occasion, his bus was pulled over by an Oklahoman deputy sheriff who gave him a song manuscript instead of a ticket.


• Songwriter Sammy Cahn, who won Oscars for "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Call Me Irresponsible," "All the Way," and "High Hopes," is often asked, What comes first - the music or the lyric? He always answers, "The phone call." (Whenever he answers the phone, he says cheerfully, "Here I am!")



Television

• On the old TV game show Name That Tune, the two contestants were a beautiful French woman and an American sailor. The orchestra played the tune they were to guess, "The Anniversary Waltz." The French woman guessed, "Oh, How Ve Danced on Ze Night Ve Vere Ved," but emcee Red Benson correctly pointed out that that wasn't the name of the song, but only a line from it. Then Mr. Benson turned to the sailor and gave him a hint to help him guess the title of "The Anniversary Waltz": "If you were married to this beautiful girl tonight, what would you be singing a year from now?" The sailor answered, "Rock-a-Bye-Baby."


• In 1998, pop singer Madonna performed a dance that is sacred to the Hindus. The World Vaishnava Association believed that Madonna's performing the dance was a sacrilege, and it demanded an apology. Madonna refused to apologize. Instead, she asked, "If they're so pure, why are they watching TV?"


• When Johnny Carson was playing "Stump the Band" on The Tonight Show, he called on a woman to participate. The woman was obviously pregnant, and when Mr. Carson asked her name, "You are …," she replied, "Yes."

Reader Comment

Current Events


Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed legislation that repeals voter ID laws, makes Election Day a state holiday and expands access to early voting.

The six new bills expand access to voting across the state.

Early voting will now be allowed 45 days prior to an election without a stated excuse. Previously if voters wanted to participate in early voting, they would need to provide a reason from a list approved by the state. A separate bill expanded absentee voting timelines.

Voters will no longer be required to show a photo ID to vote.

Election Day is now considered a state holiday. The bill repealed the current Lee-Jackson Day holiday, established to honor Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson to maintain the same number of state holidays.

Voter registration will also be automatic for people getting services at the Department of Motor Vehicle.

'Disrespect For Animals'

Jane Goodall

World-renowned British primatologist Jane Goodall says the coronavirus pandemic was caused by humanity's disregard for nature and disrespect for animals.

Goodall, who is best known for trail-blazing research in Africa that revealed the true nature of chimpanzees, pleaded for the world to learn from past mistakes to prevent future disasters.

During a conference call ahead of the release of the new National Geographic documentary "Jane Goodall: The Hope", the 86-year-old also said everyone can make a difference.

We have to realise we are part of the natural world, we depend on it, and as we destroy it we are actually stealing the future from our children.

CGI-Remake

Robin Hood

The Walt Disney Company has now remade nearly a dozen animated classics as feature-length, live-action films-and that's not counting spinoffs (Maleficent), semi-sequels (102 Dalmations), or completed films yet to reach theaters (Mulan). Unsurprisingly, Disney isn't stopping there, and its next expected remake will be part of another new trend for the company: a straight-to-Disney+ launch plan.

The Hollywood Reporter had Friday's scoop: Disney has begun pre-production on a live-action, CGI-filled remake of 1973's Robin Hood. Since the film's planning was reportedly finalized before a wave of set shutdowns across Hollywood, major details such as casting decisions and timeline estimates are not yet available. So far, only a director (Blindspotting's Carlos Lopez Estrada) and a writer (Kari Granlund, from last year's Lady and the Tramp remake) are attached.

THR believes this remake will play out as a musical, much like the first Disney version, and will star "anthropomorphic" animals "in a live-action/CGI hybrid format." It has not confirmed whether fans should expect the same casting of animal species to key roles, including Robin Hood and Maid Marian as foxes, Friar Tuck as a badger, and Little John as a shameless repeat of the popular Baloo from 1967's Jungle Book. (THR also didn't have any comment on whether to expect these remade CGI animals to wear tights or otherwise become enduring sex symbols for a generation.)

The new film's mix of live-action and CGI footage won't be the first of its kind for a Disney remake launching on Disney+; that honor goes to 2019's Lady and the Tramp remake. However, that remake leaned on its source material's inclusion of human characters to balance out its issues with the uncanny valley. Should Robin Hood try to do the same, it will require some heavy lifting in the rewrite department. Otherwise, a fully CGI cast will put this straight-to-streaming film's effects pipeline through serious scrutiny, especially if it doesn't receive the same holy-cow effects budget that was given to 2019's gorgeous-but-uneven Lion King remake.

Self-Serving Rubbish

America's Billionaires

As millions of jobless Americans line up for food or risk their lives delivering essential services, the nation's billionaires are making conspicuous donations - $100m from Amazon's Jeff Bezos for food banks, billions from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates for a coronavirus vaccine, thousands of ventilators and N95 masks from Elon Musk, $25m from the Walton family and its Walmart foundation. The list goes on.

On Wednesday, Forbes released its annual billionaires list, happily noting that "the planet's wealthiest are helping the global effort to combat the Covid-19 outbreak".

I don't mean to be uncharitable, but much of this is self-serving rubbish.

First off, the amounts involved are tiny relative to the fortunes behind them. Bezos's $100m, for example, amounts to about 11 days of his income.

Well-publicized philanthropy also conveniently distracts attention from how several of these billionaires are endangering their workers and, by extension, the public.

Dangerous Relationship

Rupert

"I would say without question it's the biggest decision I've ever had to make," Donald Trump (R-Unfit) said on Friday, contemplating when and how he will relax physical distancing guidelines and reopen the American economy.

In one ear, he has medical experts pleading caution. In the other, Fox News urges the opposite.

The conservative TV network has been widely condemned for downplaying the threat of Covid-19 even as it took measures to protect its own staff. And with the projected death toll poised to avoid the worst-case scenario, some hosts are resuming their gung-ho attitude.

"At some point, the president is going to have to look at Drs Fauci and Birx and say, we're opening on May 1," Laura Ingraham tweeted this week. "Give me your best guidance on protocols, but we cannot deny our people their basic freedoms any longer."

The symbiotic relationship between the Trump administration and Fox News has long been chronicled. Ideas and personnel move back and forth. The president is a regular interviewee and the host Sean Hannity once spoke at a Trump rally.

Report Confirmed

New York Times

Prominent US public health adviser Dr Anthony Fauci appeared on Sunday to confirm a bombshell New York Times report which said he and other Trump administration officials recommended the implementation of physical distancing to combat the coronavirus in February, but were rebuffed for almost a month.

Asked on CNN's State of the Union why the administration did not act when he and other officials advised, Fauci said: "You know … as I have said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often, the recommendation is taken. Sometimes, it's not.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked if Fauci thought "lives could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures had started [in the] third week of February, instead of mid-March".

"It's very difficult to go back and say that," Fauci said. "I mean, obviously, you could logically say, that if you had a process that was ongoing, and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is going to deny that.

"But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you're right. I mean, obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then."

New Orleans

Mardi Gras

On Fat Tuesday, 51-year-old Cornell Charles was taking part in a storied New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition central to the city's African American community - driving a car in the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club's parade.

A month later his wife of three decades was watching him take his last breath, a victim of the coronavirus epidemic raging through the city.

In a city ravaged by the coronavirus outbreak, members of the Zulu krewe, one of the groups that sponsor Mardi Gras parades and balls, have paid a heavy price. Four of the fraternal organization's members have died from coronavirus-related complications, said Zulu President Elroy A. James. Two others have also died since the pandemic began, though it's not known if their deaths were caused by the virus, he said.

An additional 20 have tested positive. Some are self-quarantining at home, some were hospitalized and released, while others are still hospitalized, James said.

The predominantly African American club is in some ways a reflection of how the disease has affected the black community in Louisiana. More than 70 percent of the state's coronavirus patients who have died are black, according to state data released this week.

Ozone Hole

North Pole

Scientists have detected what may be the largest hole in the ozone layer ever recorded over the North Pole.

The ozone hole covers an area roughly three times the size of Greenland, scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a statement, and could expose people living at far northern latitudes to high levels of ultraviolet radiation if it grows much larger. Fortunately, the hole looks likely to close on its own in the next few weeks, the ESA researchers said.

Holes form in the ozone layer - which is a sheet of gas in Earth's atmosphere that absorbs much of the harmful ultraviolet light emitted by the sun - every year over Antarctica due to seasonal changes in cloud cover. Ozone holes over the Arctic, however, are rarer. The last time an Arctic ozone hole opened was in 2011, and it was significantly smaller than the hole seen now, the researchers said.

The Antarctic ozone hole opens every year due to the combination of frigid temperatures and man-made pollution. When temperatures plummet at the start of Antarctica's winter, high-altitude clouds form over the South Pole. Industrial chemical pollutants, including chlorine and bromine, trigger reactions in these clouds that eat away at the surrounding ozone gas.

The Arctic, which has more variable temperatures, doesn't usually see the same ozone-depleting conditions, the researchers said. But this year, powerful winds trapped cold air in a "polar vortex" above the Arctic. That led to colder temperatures and more high-altitude clouds than normal. Hence, North Pole ozone-depletion began.

Sím Se Puede

Mexico

The northern Mexico border state of Baja California closed a plant run by the Anglo-American health care firm Smiths Medical Friday for allegedly refusing to sell ventilators to Mexican hospitals.

Baja California Gov. Jaime Bonilla said the firm refused to sell Mexico some of the machines, which are badly needed to treat patients with coronavirus.

Bonilla said the firm had continued to operate its assembly plant under the argument it provided an "essential" service, when most non-essential plants have been ordered closed to combat the pandemic.

But Bonilla ordered the Smiths Medical factory closed, because he argued it was providing no such essential service to Mexicans, and thus was not obeying health emergency contingency measures.

"We said to them 'if you want us to consider you essential, you have to provide some benefit to the people of Baja California, by selling us ventilators, because we need them,'" Bonilla said. "They said 'no, we are not going to sell you anything, we are just going to continue to use your labor'."

Rafted From Africa

Prehistoric Monkeys

A species of now-extinct monkeys made a "remarkable" journey across the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to South America on a natural raft about 34 million years ago, according to a study of fossilised teeth.

It is thought that the prehistoric monkeys (Ucayalipithecus perdita) made a journey of more than 900 miles - when the two continents were much closer together - on floating islands of vegetation that broke off from coastlines.

Professor Erik Seiffert, the lead author of the study, said the trip would have been "extremely difficult" but easier for the small monkeys than it would have been for other animals.

In the study, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science, researchers looked at fossilised teeth discovered in the Peruvian Amazon.

The name of monkeys comes from a combination of Ucayali, the area of the Peruvian Amazon where the teeth were discovered, pithikos, the Greek word for monkey, and perdita, the Latin word for lost.
