Has a colleague who kept in his rear
Some cash that he stole
Which he put up his hole
To give the police a bum steer

“While it is important for the Chief Justice to respect the confidentiality and privacy of Mr Justice Woulfe, the correspondence did enclose a cogent medical report to the effect that he is not in a position to take part in the resolution process at this time.
“Accordingly, it was necessary to cancel the meeting.
“The Chief Justice is committed to bringing the process to a conclusion as early as it is possible and appropriate to do so.”

The media briefing for the weekly HSE operational update on the response to Covid-19.
Via RTÉ
Paul Reid, HSE CEO, said 238 people are in hospital with Covid-19, an increase of 24 on last night.
The number of people in intensive care units has fallen slightly to 29.
He said of the 8,500 people who have contracted Covid-19 between 29th September and 12th October, 245 people have been admitted to hospital, and 22 admitted to ICU.
Mr Reid said 25% of these hospitalisations have been in people under 35, 27% have been aged 35-64 and 47% are in the 65 and over category.
He said nine people aged 35-64 have been admitted to ICU in this time period and 13 have been aged 65 and over.

The many processes of the Rho Ophiuchi ‘dark nebula’ highlighted by the colour of its clouds. To wit:
The blue regions shine primarily by reflected light. Blue light from the Rho Ophiuchi star system and nearby stars reflects more efficiently off this portion of the nebula than red light. The Earth’s daytime sky appears blue for the same reason. The red and yellow regions shine primarily because of emission from the nebula’s atomic and molecular gas. Light from nearby blue stars – more energetic than the bright star Antares – knocks electrons away from the gas, which then shines when the electrons recombine with the gas. The dark brown regions are caused by dust grains – born in young stellar atmospheres – which effectively block light emitted behind them. The Rho Ophiuchi star clouds, well in front of the globular cluster M4 visible here on the upper right, are even more colorful than humans can see – the clouds emits light in every wavelength band from the radio to the gamma-ray.
