Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm not talking, by the way, about the hard, militarised border that used to scar the countryside. Yes, it was traumatic, but it was not the only hard border we have had to get used to. In February/March 2001 there was an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in south Armagh, beside the-then not-just-as-hard border. It was part of a foot-and-mouth outbreak that had begun in Britain in February of the same year.

Inside Grenfell Tower after the fire – what does flat 16 look like now and where did the blaze start?
THESE haunting photos showed the blackened remains of the flat where the Grenfell Tower fire began. The official report said the Hotpoint fridge-freezer, which was cited as the cause of the fire, may not have started the blaze. What does flat 16 look like now? The pictures largely speak for themselves. Images show what remains of flat 16’s kitchen where the fire that killed 72 people started on June 14 last year. A "culture of non-compliance" at Grenfell Tower was also criticised today as an astonishing series of shortcomings in the system were exposed. In a report into how the fire started, University of Dundee Professor Niamh Daeid said that the fire began "in or around the tall fridge freezer" - but stops short of saying it definitely started in the freezer itself.

The lack of available drivers is rippling through the supply chain, causing a bottleneck of goods that is delaying deliveries and prompting some companies to increase prices. The Trump administration and the industry are trying to alleviate the problem by loosening federal rules and enticing nontraditional drivers like women, teenagers and minorities to operate big rigs. The Transportation Department has recently sidelined a number of safety regulations that … [Read more...] about ‘What Does a Trucker Look Like?’ It’s Changing, Amid a Big Shortage
