Hemsut Watch Bands review

REVIEW – I’ve always liked larger, take-up-the-whole-wrist watches, but the few I own have gone unworn since getting my Apple watch. I recently passed my Dad’s Shinola Argonite to my son who has this unexplained connection and appreciation to all things analog. It felt good to give him something that his Grandfather wore daily. The only thing that didn’t quite suit his needs was the original strap. Well Hemsut had some watch bands that needed reviewing and we chose two to pair up with this gorgeous timepiece.

Closed gallery undergoes revamp

RENOVATIONS at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo have commenced so that when lockdown restrictions are lifted the institution will be ready to receive visitors. The renovations financed by grants from the Embassies of Australia, Switzerland and Sweden were put on hold on March 30 when the gallery was closed in order to curb the spread of Covid-19. The gallery’s director, Butholezwe Kgosi Nyathi, said when the measures were relaxed, they started work again two weeks ago. “We have lost a total of seven weeks and these need to be recouped. As the gallery isn’t open, we are working on quality control so that when it is opened everything is ready. We are adhering to strict in-house protocols of social distancing, wearing of masks and regular sanitisation of people,” Nyathi said. What was being worked on Nyathi said included the installation of a disability ramp at the entrance and fixing of the ceiling and roof.

Pain wrenched Cheri Armstrong from her slumber. "I just shot up out of bed"

SEATTLE - Pain wrenched Cheri Armstrong from her slumber. "I just shot up out of bed," said Armstrong, 69. "It wouldn't go away." She thought the squeeze radiating between her shoulders was a muscle cramp. She twisted, walked and paced for about five minutes before it subsided. Her husband, Richard Armstrong, urged her that April Saturday to go to the emergency room. "The last place I'm going is a COVID-19 hospital," Cheri Armstrong remembers telling him. The pain receded, only to spike sporadically over the next days - twinges of tightness. By Monday evening, though, it had worsened and migrated to her jaw. "We're going to the emergency room," Richard said. Doctors soon whisked her through tests and delivered the news Cheri suspected: She had suffered a heart attack. "Her artery was about 99% blocked," said Dr. Daniel Guerra, a cardiologist at MultiCare Pulse Heart Institute in Tacoma. "She was lucky she didn't have a big heart attack." Armstrong's story illustrates a growing concern. Beginning in March, public…

Waning days of May generate summer-like heat

SOUTHLAND - (INT) - A strong ridge of high pressure is building over California giving the Southland some pre-summer temperatures this week. The highest numbers will bring an Excessive Heat Warning to the deserts through Friday where highs in the Coachella Valley could approach 110. Triple digits are likely across the inland valleys. There is a sharp thermal transition between the deserts and the coast where a strong inversion may lead to some May Gray. A sea breeze and a shallow marine layer will cover the beaches. By Friday, look for a cut-off low to approach the coast helping to flatten the intense high pressure ridge. That should help spread cooling inland.

The Cranberries' hit 'Zombie' named among list of Spotify's 'Top 50 Lockdown Songs'

THE CRANBERRIES’ iconic hit Zombie has been named on a list of the Top 50 most popular songs to listen to during lockdown. A total of 500 public Spotify lockdown playlists have been analysed as part of research commissioned by Delight Counselling, with some 31,562 songs sorted through as part of the study. Interestingly, the findings showed that 70% of the top 50 artists were male, 24% were female and just 6% were bands with both male and females. The Cranberries were among the latter, with the band’s 1994 hit Zombie coming in at a credible 17th on the countdown. The top 50 songs have ranked by the number of times they appeared in the public playlists. Advertisement In some instances, some songs appeared the same number of times, this resulted in a tie. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bee Gees topped the list with their disco hit Stayin’ Alive, which featured on no fewer than 44 different lockdown playlists. Aside from The Cranberries, however, there was little in the way of an Irish presence on the list with the…

Footage of Leo Varadkar meeting friends and enjoying sun in Phoenix Park during lockdown sparks fury online

LEO VARADKAR has denied any breach of Ireland’s COVID-19 restrictions after pictures surfaced on social media of the Taoiseach meeting up with friends in Phoenix Park. Mr. Varadkar was photographed enjoying the sunshine with his partner Matthew Barrett and two other friends in the popular Dublin Park. Gardai can be seen walking near Mr. Varadkar’s group but do not appear to have been deployed to assist or support the Taoiseach in any way. The images, which were captured this past Sunday afternoon, have sparked debate online over whether the Taoiseach is in breach of the social distancing rules in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Under the government rules, groups of four are permitted to meet outside. Advertisement However, they are restricted from travelling further than 5km from their homes and groups must remain two metres apart from anyone they are not currently residing with. Phoenix Park is roughly eight kilometres from Mr. Varadkar’s apartment on Carpenterstown Road in the Dublin West constituency.…

Gardai come to the rescue of Dublin fox found trapped in fencing during routine patrol

GARDAI CAME to the rescue of a stricken fox in Dublin over the weekend. While Garda officers are no strangers to people getting themselves into all kinds of bother on a night out, animals are an altogether different story. As a rule, foxes tend to keep well clear of humans – there’s a fair bit of history between the two sides. However, that wasn’t an option for one stricken Reynard over in Ballyfermot, Dublin. It was during a routine patrol of the area that officers were alerted to the animal’s plight. Advertisement Upon closer inspection, they found a fox completely stuck in a bit of metal fencing close to the roadside. The animal appeared to be in some distress too and, try as he might, was unable to get himself free. Thankfully, Gardai were on hand to deal with the situation. Recent weeks have seen the officers tasked with any number of duties aimed at helping people in the wider community and lifting spirits as a whole. This particular incident may have differed slightly, but the officers involved nevertheless…
