Das schöne Land Tirol
Towards the end of January 1945, when we were about to leave the Ausbau, Mum, Tante Ilse, Frau Todtenhausen, as well as Katja and Maria were busy all night killing all our rabbits and chooks and preserving the whole lot in glasses. We ended up taking quite a few of those glasses to Leipzig, where miraculously they survived the total distruction of our house during a bomb raid in the pantry next to a very strong wall. Not one glass was shattered! I myself though was not able to eat any of the rabbit- or chicken-meat, since from early childhood on I’ve never been able to eat this kind of meat. …
Before we left the Ausbau, all the furniture in the house was pushed together as much as possible. Some beds had been dismantled already. But we children were meant to get some sleep in spite of all the commotion. I was put with Eva in one room. The two of us were much too excited to sleep. We kept ourselves awake for hours singing all the songs we knew. Eva taught me a few new songs which I had not known until then. Yet I still know them now. One song was a song from Tirol about some young men who go looking over the fence to see a girl, the one who looks after the cows.
Ja wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun
übern Zaun, Zaun, Zaun,
in das schöne Land Tirol –
Ja dann freuet sich die Sennerin,
ja wenn wir schaun, schaun, schaun übern Zaun.
Ja wenn wir gucken, gucken, gucken
durch die Lucken, Lucken, Lucken,
in das schöne Land Tirol –
Ja dann freuet sich die Sennerin,
ja wenn wir gucken, gucken, durch die Lucken, Lucken, Lucken …

US epidemiologist explains why vaccines alone won’t stop Delta | Coronavirus | A Current Affair
Aug 13, 2021
Subscribe here: https://bit.ly/2mBeStv | Harvard trained epidemiologist Dr Eric Feigl-Ding predicted in January last year that COVID-19 would be a “thermonuclear pandemic” and he has explained why he believes vaccines alone aren’t the solution. The epidemiologist told A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw, “even for highly vaccinated countries relying on vaccines alone is not a panacea to stop Delta”. (Broadcast August 11, 2021)
Early Mornings
This German saying did just come to my mind:
“Morgenstunde hat Gold im Munde!”
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenstund_hat_Gold_im_Mund
The Early Bird catches the Worm
There is a saying that the morning hour has gold in its mouth . It says that getting up early is worthwhile because it is easy to work in the morning and early risers can achieve more. It is the verbatim translation of the Latin textbook sentence aurora habet aurum in ore . This refers to the personified dawn (Latin: aurora ) that wears gold in the mouth and in the hair.
In earlier times, the Latin proverb aurora musis amica (the morning hour is the friend of the muses), which means as much as study in the morning, was first documented in a letter from Erasmus of Rotterdam to his student Christian Northoff one best

Four Corners: Aug 2

On Monday ABC examines how Australia was left dangerously exposed.

Monday’s Four Corners is “Lockdown: How Australia became trapped by COVID-19”, reported by Adam Harvey.
“It’s been disappointing. We’ve been let down. There’s no point in sugar coating it. It’s just been a massive disappointment.” Resident
For weeks, millions of Australians have been trapped by outbreaks of COVID-19 around the country with five states and the Northern Territory plunging into lockdown.
“The risk is real and we need to act quickly. We need to go hard, we need to go fast… I don’t want to see people end up in our hospitals on ventilators.” Qld Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk
At a grim press conference in Sydney, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian bluntly told the nation that with case numbers on the rise, the threat of COVID-19 had reached an unprecedented level.
“The situation that exists now…is regarded as a national emergency.” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian
Now, despite millions of people being told to stay at home, the number of infections is climbing with the virulent Delta strain.
“We should be very worried about Delta. Delta is many times more infectious than the original wild type of virus. It is really easy to transmit, and it is slightly more problematic when it comes to people who’ve only had one dose of vaccine.” Former Health Dept Secretary
This type of outbreak is exactly what the nation’s leading experts warned of when Four Corners reported on the failings in Australia’s vaccine rollout in May.
“It’s clear the virus hasn’t gone away. It will come back in this country and if we have really low levels of vaccination at that point in time, then the impact of that will be far greater than it would have been otherwise.” Dr Paul Griffin, May 2021
Their warnings have become a grim reality. On Monday Four Corners examines how Australia was left dangerously exposed.
“A leak from quarantine was probably inevitable. But the problems we’re having now all go back to the decisions that were made last year.” Former Health Dept Secretary
As the program shows, the slow and sometimes faltering vaccine rollout has made the task of beating COVID-19 that much harder.
“We’re going to have to increase our supply and increase our injecting rate by a third, every day, seven days a week, until December 31.” Epidemiologist
For those struggling to get back on their feet after a horror 2020, there is frustration that they are facing even more pain.
“There is a high level of anxiety bordering on depression for many people, but the real frustration from the business community is around the lack of vaccination rollout right now. And we know that vaccinations are our only way of getting out of these lockdowns.” Retail spokesperson
Experts warn that there will be more to come if the issues of supply and hesitancy aren’t overcome.
“The longer a variant spreads, the greater the risk of it learning mutations and changing, and becoming a super variant.” Epidemiologist

Catastrophic flooding across western Europe as politicians blame climate change – BBC News
More than 120 people have died and hundreds are still missing after record rainfall caused the worst flooding in parts of Western Europe for many decades. In Germany dozens of people were unaccounted for, with the Chancellor Angela Merkel describing the floods as a catastrophe. Torrential rain has also devastated parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Survivors have described the terrifying speed at which water levels rose. Some politicians in Germany say the extreme weather is the result of global warming and they’re calling for more urgent action to counter climate change. Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting – from Jenny Hill in Erftstadt, Germany – Anna Holligan in the Dutch town of Valkenberg – and chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt on the threat posed by climate change.
