    Social distancing is a practice recommended by public health officials to stop or slow down the spread of contagious diseases.
    It requires the creation of physical space between individuals who may spread certain infectious diseases.

    The key is to minimize the number of gatherings as much as possible and to achieve space between individuals when events or activities cannot be modified, postponed, or canceled.
    Achieving space between individuals of approximately six feet is advisable.

    The inconsistent COVID-19 approach apparent in the dis-United States, is mirrored in the dis-United Kingdom, as demonstrated by the 2020 academic results and schools re-opening fiascos.

    In spite of Mary Anning being almost entirely self-taught, and trying to survive (quite literally) and make her mark in a British society far more male-dominated even than today, she was recognized as recently as 2010 by the Royal Society as one of the 10 most influential women scientists in British history.

    I have to admit i don't know a lot about Mary Anning until now, but she's been added to to my "Feminine Inspiration figures"
    along with Ada Lovelace and the Victorian ladies of the mid 19th Century and the "Fern Craze".

    Having been virtually trapped in my house for over a week while painting and decorating was progressing - doors and windows open, thankfully now finished - my sister rang me yesterday and I was convinced it was Sunday! :rolleyes:

    Morning, it really is Thursday today.

    Welcome back Raidercane!
    Its a mystery.

    If you're in the States and in the Storm Laura zone.
    Stay safe!!!

    Moving Watson, i wonder if she can fit in another holiday or two this year?
    After all she hasn't got any high profile speeches to make and she still hasn't
    said anything (or to my knowledge helped) to support the industry that gave her
    fame and the financial freedom to do anything she wants.

    While she was having her topless holiday, thousands of actors/tech crew and venue/theatre
    owners are facing financial ruin.

    Not one word to them or to her young fans before that during lockdown.

    She's the one who chose to speak up, she's the one that gave speeches at the UN or
    high profile conferences/photo op's in Paris.
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    But not one word or tweet of support for her profession or fans.

    Apart from one photo.
    [​IMG]
    I'm sure many in her profession would of liked a £1,000 a night holiday in the sun.

    What's the old London saying?
    "I'm all right Jack"...
    Rant over.

    If your in the path of Storm Laura, stay safe!!!
    They're predicting storm surges of 20ft+ that could go 20 miles + inland.

    Meanwhile

    Unlike Watson, at least Sam Mendes remembers where he came from.

    A fund set up by 1917 director Sam Mendes has now raised £3.5 million to help support out-of-work theatre professionals
    who face financial uncertainty due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

    The Theatre Artist Fund today announced it had hit £3.5 million thanks, in part, to a £1 million donation from Arts Council England.

    The fund specifically helps freelance theatre workers in urgent need of financial support.

    It was set up at the start of July with a £500,000 donation from streaming giant Netflix.
    I May Destroy You writer and star Michaela Coel, and Harry Potter star Imelda Staunton
    were among the early contributors to the fund - which provides eligible workers with one-off grants of £1,000.

    Sam Mendes said: "This fund has enabled us to move fast in response to the urgent need that is out there amongst freelancers
    and self-employed theatre artists. But the situation is still desperate and many more still need help.

    We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Arts Council England for this transformative contribution,
    which I hope will lead to an ongoing relationship with the Fund as it grows in scale and permanence.”
