Come on, man.
What’s the hold up?

Northern Ireland has had five suspected cases of blood clot cases linked to the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
That is from a total of 550,000 people given the vaccine up to 28 April.
The figure is in proportion to other suspected cases from across the UK including England (198); Scotland (18); Wales (9) and unknown (12).

A project devoted to the British Army’s legacy in Ireland with talks, tours, an online photographic archive as well as personal histories, many with the descendants of those who served in the two World Wars.
Created by Eamon Delaney, author, broadcaster and former diplomat, who writes:
There does seem to be a tremendous, almost obsessive, focus on the events of 1916-21. By contrast, the legacy that I am exploring remains relatively undeveloped, or so I am finding, and people tell me.
World War One, in particular, is a huge experience which both communities shared in, but which I don’t believe cooperate on as much as they could.
When I set out, I hadn’t really planned on such a reconciliation ‘political’ role for the project but many people have encouraged me.
The plan is to cooperate, through public events (or virtually, these days) at which the descendants of WW1 veterans, and others, could share their experiences and those of their forbears. North and South.
FIGHT!
Oh.

Behold (in opposite corners of the stunning mosaic): the Horsehead nebula and the Orion nebula, 1500 light years away. To wit:
The familiar Horsehead nebula appears as a dark cloud, a small silhouette notched against the long red glow at the lower left. Alnitak is the easternmost star in Orion’s belt and is seen as the brightest star to the left of the Horsehead. Below Alnitak is the Flame Nebula, with clouds of bright emission and dramatic dark dust lanes. The magnificent emission region, the Orion Nebula (aka M42), lies at the upper right. Immediately to its left is a prominent reflection nebula sometimes called the Running Man. Pervasive tendrils of glowing hydrogen gas are easily traced throughout the region.

Behold: the 1956 Porsche 365 Speedster – an open-topped variant of the company’s first consumer car.
This vehicle – thoroughly restored to Concours d’Elegance condition in bright red over tan leather with a matching tan soft top – has a rebuilt 616/1 1955 flat-four engine bored out to 1,720cc.
