UK’s largest community solar farm secured funding



The future looks bright for what is expected to be the UK’s largest community-owned solar farm, after it secured vital funding this week.

Ray Valley Solar in Oxford will generate enough electricity to power 6,000 homes. The facility will be operated by Low Carbon Hub, a social enterprise that empowers communities to take control of their energy.

The project’s financing provides a model for others to follow, supporters claim. Funding was obtained through a community share offer, which raised £4.5m. Lending from Oxford city council, a grant from Local Energy Oxfordshire, and a loan from Triodos UK helped get the project over the line.

Dr Barbara Hammond, CEO at Low Carbon Hub, said: “We want to make Oxfordshire an example for the world. To show how the right investment, used in the right way, can help meet our energy needs in a way that’s good for people, and good for the planet.”

5 Facts You Didn’t Know About Playing Golf
Posted on May 20, 2021*

Golf is a widely popular sport. Over 25 million Americans play it regularly, and you’re bound to experience some odd things on the golf course over time!



Golf is great for many reasons. It’s hard to master, incredibly rewarding, a hobby you can pick up at any age, and you can play it all around the world!

Whether you do not know anything about playing the sport or are already an avid golfer, you might not know about these 5 facts about playing golf.

Keep reading.

1. A Hole in One Is Rare!

Every golfer’s dream! A hole in one is without a doubt on the bucket list of many golfers, but unfortunately, they are even rarer than you might think they are.

Your chances of making a hole in one are around 12,500 to 1.

That means that most golfers, even professionals, never make a hole in one in their whole career!

If they happen, they are most common on Par-3 Holes. Against all odds, the longest hole in one ever recorded occurred on a Par-5!

Mr. Shaun Lunch achieved this feat with a 3-iron in Devon in 1995. The ball traveled a total of 496 yards over a 20-foot-high hedge and rolled down a slope into the hole.

There are also recorded hole-in-ones on Par-4 holes. Mere mortals are happy to find the fairway with their driver, not to mention the green.


2. 18 Handicap

In America alone, around 25 Million people play golf regularly. Globally, that number climbs to over 60 million people!

If you ever played golf yourself, you might know that it’s not an easy sport. It takes time and effort to perfect your game and score low. Especially if you are just getting started.

But Golf is one of the rare sports where you can compete with better players and still have a chance to win.

This is thanks to the handicap system. Your handicap determines how many strokes you get in addition to the par of the course.

An 18 handicapper can score around 80 total strokes on a Par-72 course and achieve a net-even round.

Only 80% of golfers will ever achieve a handicap under 18, though. Keep that in mind the next time you play with someone scoring 80 and less during his/her round!

3. FORE

We’ve all done it. You set up to your ball, take aim, swing your club, hear the sound of your clubface hitting the ball, and… disaster.

The ball is going nowhere where you planned it to go and is tracking right into the group to the right of you.

It’s good golf etiquette to warn people that might get hit by your ball by screaming FORE from the top of your lungs!

But sometimes, they don’t hear you, or you warn them too late.

We’ve all heard horror stories about people dying from being hit by a golf ball. In reality, these chances are meager.

Don’t get me wrong. It still hurts. A lot!

Because golf balls compress and deform on impact, most hits are not lethal. You are more likely to die from a vending machine (2.18 deaths/year) in America than from a golf ball.



4. Excellent Workout

Golf can make for an excellent workout! Especially if you decide to ditch the golf cart and walk an 18-hole round of golf!

The average golfer burns around 430 calories an hour playing golf. Considering that a full round can take anywhere between 3-5 hours, you can quickly burn over 1,500 calories!

If you are just getting started playing golf, you might want to consider playing 9 holes only or using a golf cart instead of walking.

This is so you are not tiring yourself out too early and can build up the stamina needed for a full round.

5. Golf On the Moon

During the Apollo 14 mission, Allan Shepard played golf on the moon. Golf is the only sport to ever been played on the moon!

He used a 6 iron and took two shots. Apparently, he shanked the first into a crater but the second on when one for miles!

Because of the reduced gravity on the moon, you can theoretically hit balls miles. Actual Miles. Not yards…

Bryson DeChambeau, who is leading the PGA Tour in driving distance, would be able to blast a ball 3.41 miles with a hangtime of one minute and 22 seconds.

That’s basically the length of an 18-hole golf course!

In comparison, the average driving distance of a male amateur is around 213 yards. This makes you think, how long before we all can play a round of golf on the moon and finally hit pro distances?

What to do next

If you found these facts interesting, maybe give golf a try for yourself. It’s a sport you can play your whole life, at any age, and is incredibly rewarding!

Las Vegas officials hold pop-up vaccine clinic at strip club


JoJo Hamner, a cast member of the "Sexxy After Dark: Where Dinner Meets Play" show, gets the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine during a pop-up vaccine clinic at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Friday, May 21, 2021, in Las Vegas. (Ellen Schmidt/Las Vegas Review-Journal via AP)

Wearing a French maid-inspired lingerie costume and high heels, dancer JoJo Hamner waited patiently to get her COVID-19 vaccine in a line that snaked past a glittery hostess stand under a red-light chandelier.

When it was her turn, Hamner sat in a chair and held onto a small feather duster that completed her costume while a nurse administered the shot into her already-exposed arm.

Hamner then waited nearby for the required 15 minutes of observation, sitting with other vaccine recipients in leather chairs between plush purple booths, vacant stages and empty poles at this strip club in Las Vegas.

“This is just the most Vegas thing I’ve ever seen,” she said of the experience.

Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club, with a spinning disco ball casting rainbow colors on the walls but more lights turned on than usual, was an unconventional site for a walk-in vaccination clinic. But as government officials and health workers try to address the slowing demand for COVID-19 vaccines, they’re increasingly turning to creative ways to incentivize people to show up and get a shot.

“This is just another way to access our population,” said JoAnn Rupiper, the chief nurse of the Southern Nevada Health District, who monitored the walk-in clinic. “It might attract some people who like the novelty of it, I suppose.”

The clinic opened for several hours Friday night, administering shots to about 100 people before the strip club opened for its usual business. Several workers at the club, including Hamner, a dancer at a topless revenue, got their shots at the clinic along with members of the public.

Some people who showed up to get shots admitted they were reluctant to get the vaccine but decided to go for it if it meant visiting a strip club.

Roberto Montti, who lives near the club, said he had been putting off getting his shot but realized he should get it in order to resume his love of traveling.

Montti said he probably would have gotten his shot at a more humdrum venue but decided to go to the Hustler Club because it felt familiar.

“I’ve been here so many — I’ve been here a few times. ... Maybe 10 times, give or take,” he said with a laugh.

“I was going to wait, I tell you that,” said Las Vegas resident Michael Myers as he stood between a full-length picture of a naked woman and a sign promoting social distancing and other behaviors to mitigate the virus spread.

Myers’ wife, Lisa Harper, said he changed his mind when she told him they could both get it at the Hustler club.

“I said, ‘Flynt’s Hustler?’ She said ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘Oh! Let me consider,’” Myers said with a laugh.

“A lot of people that wouldn’t ordinarily do it, a lot of guys, they said, they came here because it’s Hustler,” his wife Harper said. “To take away the stodginess of it, to make it Hustler, it’s very clever.”

(Ellen Schmidt/Las Vegas Review-Journal via AP)

“Nothing says vaccinations like a stripper pole,” said the couple’s friend George Stoecklin, who joined them to get his shot.

Myers, 70, said he was reluctant to get the shot and worried about how fast it had been available. But he noted his age and said he was concerned about his ability to spread the virus and infect others, including his wife.

Myers said he was disappointed there were no dancers on the stage while he got his shot but said, “at least I got the scope of it.”

More than 46% of the state’s population age 12 and over has received at least one shot of the vaccine, but Nevada health officials said this week that a steep drop-off in demand for shots may make it impossible for the state to reach a goal of vaccinating 75% of the eligible population.

Nevada officials have been increasingly turning to pop-up clinics in places like churches, schools and senior centers -- and now strip clubs -- to try to get more shots in arms.

As demand has slowed across the country, governments and businesses are turning to other creative ways to get shots in arms. Marijuana dispensaries have offered “joints for jabs,” breweries have offered “shots and a chaser,” and Ohio next week plans to debut a lottery system for residents who get vaccinated with a $1 million prize and five full-ride college scholarships.

Las Vegas officials said the Hustler Club approached them about holding the clinic after hosting in a similar vaccination site at the company’s New Orleans location. The club offered its own incentives to those who show proof of vaccination: a membership card giving them and five friends free admission, a complimentary bottle of alcohol, dances from “a vaccinated entertainer” and other perks.

Ralph James, the general manager, said the business thought it would be a good chance to help the community and get back to normal faster. He acknowledged people may not typically think of the strip club as a public health partner but said, “this gives everyone a chance to see how clean it is and it’s a normal business just like any other business.”

111-year-old Australian recommends eating chicken brains


In this image made from video, Australia's Dexter Kruger gestures at a nursing home in the rural Queensland state town of Roma, Australia on May 13, 2021. Kruger, Australia’s oldest-ever man, has included eating chicken brains among his secrets to living more than 111 years.

Australia’s oldest-ever man has included eating chicken brains among his secrets to living more than 111 years.

Retired cattle rancher Dexter Kruger on Monday marked 124 days since he turned 111, a day older than World War I veteran Jack Lockett was when he died in 2002.

Kruger told Australian Broadcasting Corp. in an interview at his nursing home in the rural Queensland state town of Roma days before the milestone that a weekly poultry delicacy had contributed to his longevity.

“Chicken brains. You know, chickens have a head. And in there, there’s a brain. And they are delicious little things,” Kruger said. “There’s only one little bite.”

Kruger’s 74-year-old son Greg credits his father’s simple Outback lifestyle for his long life.

Nursing home manger Melanie Calvert said Kruger, who is writing his autobiography, was “probably one of the sharpest residents here.”

“His memory is amazing for a 111-year-old,” Calvert said.

John Taylor, a founder of The Australian Book of Records, confirmed that Kruger had become the oldest-ever Australian man.

The oldest-ever verified Australian was Christina Cook, who died in 2002 aged 114 years and 148 days.

Teenager's bridge notes 'help save six lives' in Sunderland


Paige Hunter received a commendation certificate from Northumbria Police Chief Superintendent Sarah Pitt

A teenager who attached uplifting messages to a bridge to help people facing a mental health crisis has helped save six lives, police said.

Paige Hunter, 18, tied more than 40 notes to Sunderland's Wearmouth Bridge.

One note says: "Even though things are difficult, your life matters; you're a shining light in a dark world, so just hold on."

Northumbria Police Ch Supt Sarah Pitt said it was an "innovative way to reach out to those in a dark place".


Paige Hunter attached more than 40 notes to Wearmouth Bridge

She said it was important to encourage people to speak out about mental health problems, adding: "Paige has shown an incredible understanding of vulnerable people in need of support.

"For somebody so young, Paige has shown a real maturity and we thought it would only be right to thank her personally.

"She should be very proud of herself."

The East Durham College student, who also works at Poundworld, was given a commendation certificate from the force.

Paige said: "Since I put the messages up I've had a lot of comments from people. They've said it's been really inspiring.

"It's just amazing, the response it has had. I wasn't doing this for an award; it was just something that I wanted to do."

Since 2013, Northumbria Police's Street Triage service has seen a team of dedicated officers and mental health nurses work alongside each other to respond to people experiencing a mental health crisis.

It was set up in partnership with Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.

Homeowner leaves postman hilarious note about spider that is 'holding mail hostage'

A very amusing note left on a mailbox for a postman has gone viral on social media, in which a homeowner asks for help with a spider that's been 'holding the mail hostage'



There are a number of things we just cant deal with in life and are pretty scared of - from creepy clowns to snakes.

But top of that list will always be spiders, no matter how tiny they might be.

And it seems we're not the only ones with this fear, as a viral social media post has recently shown.

A post on the Instagram account, @neighborsfromhell has shared a hilarious letter a resident left on their mailbox for the postman.

In the anonymous note, the writer explains that their mail has been held hostage by the insect and they are hoping the postman can help them out - by taking any means necessary.



The letter reads: "Dear Mr. Postman!

"Beholder of parcels, bringer of utility bills, I write to you on this day to ask a simple task of you.

"Living on the right side of my mailbox is a spider, seemingly holding my mail hostage.

"If you could remove him for me, either by relocation or brutal murder, I would be forever in your debt.

"Signed, Resident."

In the bottom right-hand corner of the letter, there is then a small drawing of a spider with an annotation that says: "Spider looks like this".

Just in case they're having trouble figuring it out.

Global conservation zones have expanded – report



In signs that nations are finally waking up to the seriousness of biodiversity loss, it was revealed this week that the world’s conservation zones have expanded by an area greater than the size of Russia since 2010.

The latest Protected Planet report revealed that 17 per cent of land and inland water ecosystems, and 8 per cent of marine areas, now benefit from some sort of protection.

Despite the progress, however, one third of the planet’s key biodiversity areas remain unprotected. What’s more, many conservation zones are not well connected, leaving species isolated.

Dr Bruno Oberle, director of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), said the report’s findings showed “enormous progress” had been made. However, he renewed IUCN calls for one third of the planet to be protected by 2030.

Einstein handwritten letter with equation fetches $1.2m

A letter written by Albert Einstein containing his E=mc² equation has sold at auction in the US for more than $1.2m (£850,000) - three times more than had been expected.



Experts say there are only three other known examples of the equation in the physicist's handwriting.

The equation was first published in a scientific paper by Einstein in 1905.

It explains the interchangeability of energy and mass.

The equation - energy equals mass times the speed of light squared - is a fundamental concept in modern physics.

This was the only example of the equation in a private collection and only became public recently, said Boston-based RR Auction, which sold the letter.

"[It's] an important letter from both a holographic and a physics point of view," RR Auction said in a statement, calling it "the most well-known equation ever set forth".

The one-page letter in German is dated 26 October 1946 and addressed to Polish-American physicist Ludwik Silberstein, who challenged some of Einstein's theories.

The letter was part of Silberstein's personal archives, which were sold by his descendants, according to the Associated Press news agency. It reported the buyer was identified only as an anonymous document collector.

Man Spends £20,000 Turning His House Into Giant Aquarium



A man has turned his house into a giant aquarium and says he could watch his pet fish 'for hours', which is handy because he has no TV.

Jack Heathcote, 47, has completely transformed his house with a network of nine super-sized tanks, including one in his cellar that is 7ft deep.

Jack doesn't own a TV because he'd much rather watch his fish swimming about.

He said: "I can watch them for hours interacting with each other. It's very relaxing."

Jack, a landlord, says he first became interested in fish when he was 10 and he visited an aquarium in Blackpool, coming home with a pet goldfish.

Fast-forward 37 years and Jack has forked out a whopping £20,000 to convert his Nottingham home.



Jack used three walls of his cellar to create a 14ft by 12ft tank that's 7ft deep and holds 4,800 gallons of water.

The huge tank is home to 50 perch, rudd and tench, caught in a canal, and four huge mirror carp.

There are two more tanks in the cellar, as well as others in the living room, hallway and shed.

Upstairs, there are a couple of tanks in Jack's bedroom, connected by a tunnel.

And Jack is absolutely delighted with his unusual home and pets.

He said: "They're not like other animals because they are always on the move.

"My friends think they are great. They often join me on the sofa to watch them, like other people would watch TV."

Meanwhile, a Japanese company has created a portable fish tank - so Jack could get out and about with his favourite fish, if he fancied.

The Katsugyo bag, from MA Corporation, is actually designed to let people show off their expensive market-bought fish as they take it home.

But if you're a big fish lover like Jack and you want to show your beloved pet goldfish a bit of the world, then you can do that, too.

The company explains: "It is divided into two units of the body, and when you put in fish, you can remove the aquarium, store the fish, then connect it to the main body and turn on the power.

"You can carry the fish, so it is relatively easy to use. Oxygen supply and water temperature maintenance are possible."

Researchers Find 3,000 Year Old Cheese
The discovery is one of the oldest samples of cheese ever found.


Archeologists exploring an ancient Egyptian tomb have made an incredible discovery: They’ve unearthed what appears to be one of the world’s oldest pieces of cheese, dating to more than three thousand years ago.

Researchers first recovered the cheese sample during an expedition in 2010, although they didn’t know what it was at first. A group of archeologists recently rediscovered the tomb of Ptahmes, an ancient mayor of Memphis, which had long been thought lost. During the excavation those researchers discovered a collection of jars, one of which contained a strange white substance.

That substance remained mysterious for several years, until a new analysis by researchers at the University of Catania and Cairo University revealed its true nature: cheese. Specifically, some kind of chevre-like cheese with a much more sour taste. While the cheese started out life as a very soft substance, the millenia have hardened it into something completely solid.

It’s also somewhat deadly to consume, thanks to a colony of bacteria that have grown on the surface. The researchers found samples of Brucella melitensis, which is a harmful bacteria that causes the disease brucellosis. If you were thinking about wanting to try this ancient cheese, you should know that symptoms of brucellosis include fever, headaches, stomach pain, and all the symptoms of food poisoning, and that the disease can last for weeks, months, or even years.

Man Inspires Town During Lockdown—He Spells Out Messages with Rubber Duckies in Front Yard



People are traveling across town to see the rubber duckies being arranged into inspiring messages that are quacking up the neighborhood.

Jim Preston came up with the unique way to make people smile during lockdown from his 14th Ave. home in Menlo Park, California.

He gets up at the quack of dawn (presumably) and uses the yellow toy ducks to spell out words of hope, encouragement, and wisdom, and has been doing it for months.



Chandrama Anderson told GNN that photos were being posted on the app, NextDoor, but that she began seeing the creations on her daily walks.

“For my husband’s 60th birthday under Covid lockdown, when there weren’t many ways to make a birthday special, I asked Jim to use his ducks to spell out ‘Happy Birthday Locke,’ and he did!”

She said he was “thrilled”.

Even if the message is not created specifically for you, it’s easy to believe the uplifting sidewalk art comes straight from the heart—the heart of a town ‘wise quicker’.

A young woman's final wish to sit in the conductor's chair granted by Metrolinx


Romina Asrani stands in front of the UP Express terminal at Union Station.

TORONTO -- A young woman under care at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children had her final wish granted on Sunday, May 16 when she was invited to operate a GO train.

Romina Asrani, 21-years-old, was born with Down Syndrome and has suffered multiple illnesses since childhood, her mother, Soraya Asrani, told Metrolinx. Now, she is on her final journey under palliative care at SickKids.

Metrolinx’ spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins says Romina’s request to drive a GO train was originally communicated through SickKids. The hospital reached out to Metrolinx, informing them of Asrani’s dream to one day “drive a big train like her grandfather.”

At first, the request was planned to take place after lockdown, in the hopes that the COVID-19 situation became safer in the Toronto area. However, it became apparent that “waiting wasn’t really an option,” so Metrolinx agreed on a Sunday afternoon with barely three days to plan.



Aikins says she worked closely with Metrolinx and Alstom Canada to “to plan a special UP Express train and a crew to work personally with Romina.”

“Staff ensured we were ready to escort the family around safely with a wheelchair for Romina to carry her oxygen and reduce the amount of walking. Transit safety arranged to be on-site with Dougie from the K9 team. Souvenir gifts were planned. And a safety plan was meticulously prepared to ensure we remained COVID-safe and were prepared for any type of emergency,” Aikins explained.

Aikins recalled being taken aback at “just how frail and tiny Romina was as she approached.”

Romina was met at the platform by an approaching train and a voice over the loudspeaker announcing that “the next train arriving [was] Romina’s train.”

Crews toured Romina around the train, allowing her into the conductor’s seat, letting her make an announcement over the loudspeaker and, of course, showing her how to toot the horn.

“This is the coolest thing, the best thing that has ever happened in my life,” Romina told Metrolinx. “I will never forget it, ever.”

“I could not be happier than I am right this minute. Thank you all for making my wish come true for me. I love you all. You are my angels," Romina said.

Aikins wants to thank Romina from the bottom of her heart.

"This was my absolute pleasure. I was lucky to be a part, even in a small way, of bringing some happiness and joy to Romina today," Aikins said.

TikToker's convinced people are going missing through maze of 'cannibal caves'
EXCLUSIVE: TikTok user @danthedingbat21 shares bizarre theory that unsolved cases of missing people in the US are linked to a secret cave system full of cannibals.

A TikTok creator shared a bizarre theory that Americans are going missing because of a secret labyrinth of tunnels full of cannibals - and she's got people scared.

The creator, known as @danthedingbat21, stitched a video from another user who wanted to talk about the number of people who go missing in the country's national parks each year and are never found.

Showing maps of the US cave system, Dan claims cannibal tribes live in them and people are being taken to be eaten.

She said: "If you look up where people go missing in national parks, it directly correlates to the cave system in the US.



"I know you have all seen videos where they talk about cannibals being in the woods and there just being feral people out in the woods.

"I kinda think there are communities of those people and they take people when they can."

She went on to say that she believes "Sasquatch sounds" that have been recorded are the cannibals letting each other know where they're at.



She adds: "I think the Sasquatch sounds that you hear in missing 411 and those Sasquatch videos where it sounds like something's howling but they're not sure what, I think that's their way of communicating to each other, letting each other know who's where.

"We've never seen a Sasquatch before, we've never seen Big Foot before but we've found the clothes of missing people 100 yards away from where they were originally taken."

The video, which has over 300 likes, compared her wild conspiracy theory to the 2005 British Horror, The Descent.



In the movie, six women who, having entered a cave system and struggle to survive against the humanoid creatures hunting them when inside.

Commenters were left terrified by the theory with one saying: "Omfg dude, that's scary AF."

"Wait, but for real, I would be more afraid of an unexpected human in the woods than a sasquatch," another added.

According to National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, more than 600,000 persons go missing in the US every year.

Up to 92% of those people are recovered every year, either alive or deceased - but the rest are never found.

In 2011, David Paulides, founder of the North America Bigfoot Search, launched a database of wildland disappearances that occurred under “mysterious circumstances.”

From his research, there are at least 1,600 people, give or take, currently missing in the wild somewhere in the United States.

Florida 11-year-old earns world record for mental math

May 21 (UPI) -- An 11-year-old Florida girl earned a Guinness World Record for mental math when she solved a 12-digit multiplication problem without a calculator, pen or paper.

Sanaa Hiremath, who was diagnosed with Autism at age 2, started showing an unusual aptitude for math when her parents started to home-school her, mother Priya Hiremath told Spectrum News.

"We introduced the concept of multiplication for her for the very first time and she was able to answer instantly," Hiremath said.

The girls' father, Uday, said she had actually failed math before switching to home-schooling.

"They tested her on math," Uday said, "They gave her pencil and paper and told her to write 1-20 and she could not because she can't hold the pencil because she has fine grip, she has poor motor issues."

Sanaa's pediatrician was impressed with the girl's math skills and led the parents to research whether their daughter's gift could be a Guinness World Record.

The 11-year-old was given a 12-digit number to multiply, which she completed in under 10 minutes. She was not allowed to be in the room when the numbers were selected and she was brought in blindfolded before the time began.

Sanaa was awarded the Guinness World Record for largest mental arithmetic multiplication.

"I don't think she has any limitations," Uday Hiremath said.
