In 1867, a beautiful ship named the Mary Celeste left
the coast of New York. The captain was a man named
Benjamin Briggs, and he brought his family and crew to
transport 1,700 barrels of alcohol to Italy. They never
made it to their destination. The boat was found floating
safely in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores Islands, on
December 5, 1872. This did not look like a pirate attack,
because nothing was stolen, and all of the paper documents were still on board. The only thing missing
was the people.

The Shakespeare authorship question
The Shakespeare authorship question is a theory
(which was first proposed during the Victorian Era) that
William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poems
which were accredited to him. [...]
Believers of the alternative authorship theory often
argue that William Shakespeare lacked the education,
aristocratic sensibility and familiarity with the royal courts
which is clearly evident in his works. Personally, I would
say that as a dedicated reader of Shakespeare’s works,
many of these claims do not seem to be supported by any
reasonable evidence.
I would suggest that this theory derives from a deeply
embedded prejudice rooted in the English class system
(most marked during the Victorian Era, when the
authorship question first gained widespread credence).
Certainly, Shakespeare came from relatively humble
beginnings, and was not a member of royalty or part of
the nobility – but, I argue, that is no reason to suppose
that someone from his background could not write as well
as he did, or accrue the wealth, position and influence in
London theatrical society that he did. […]
This is where the implications for people reading
Shakespeare today 400 years on are most important.
How can we read (and be taught) Shakespeare’s plays,
if we can never really understand the complete context of their composition, the time in which they were written
and, yes, the prejudice and controversy that still engulfs
them.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a booklet entitled “Getting your workforce ready for Covid-19”. The eight-page document is organized by topics and in one of them, it is possible to read as follows:
Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by employees, contractors and customers:
a. Put sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around the workplace;
b. Make sure these dispensers are regularly refilled;
c. Display posters promoting hand-washing– ask your local public health authority for these or look on www.WHO.int;
d. Combine this with other communication measures such as offering guidance from occupational health and safety officers, briefings at meetings and information on the intranet to promote hand-washing;
e. Make sure that staff, contractors and customers have access to places where they can wash their hands with soap and water;
f. Why? Because washing kills the virus on your hands and prevents the spread of Covid-19.

Chicago
Dave recently came back from a trip to Chicago,
Illinois. This midwestern metropolis is found along the
shore of Lake Michigan. During his visit, Dave spent a
lot of time exploring the city to visit important
landmarks and monuments.
Dave loves baseball, and he made sure to make
a visit to Wrigley Field. Not only did he take a tour of
this spectacular stadium, but he also got to watch a
Chicago Cubs game. In the stadium, Dave and the
other fans cheered for the Cubs. Dave was happy that
the Cubs won with a score of 5-4.
Chicago has many historical places to visit. Dave
found the Chicago Water Tower impressive as it is one
of the new remaining landmarks to have survived the
Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Dave also took a walkthrough Jackson Park, a great outdoor space that
hosted the World’s Fair of 1892. The Park is great for
leisurely stroll, and it still features some of the original
architecture and replicas of monuments that were
featured in the World’s Fair.
During the last part of his visit, Dave managed to
climb the stairs inside of the Willis Tower, a 110-story
skyscraper. Despite the challenge of climbing many
flights of stairs, Dave felt that reaching the top was
worth the effort. From the rooftop, Dave received a
gorgeous view of the city’s skyline with Lake Michigan
in the background.
How did Dave arrive on the rooftop of the Willis
Tower?

“‘Enter, good guests!’ she said, and as she
spoke they knew that it was her clear voice they had
heard singing. They came a few timid steps further
into the room, and began to bow low, feeling
strangely surprised and awkward, like folk that,
knocking at a cottage door to beg for a drink of water,
have been answered by a fair young elf-queen clad
in living flowers. But before they could say anything,
she sprang lightly up and over the lily-bowls, and ran
laughing towards them; and as she ran her gown
rustled softly like the wind in the flowering borders of
a river.”

Nikola Jokic’s Historic Triple-Double leads
Nuggets over Kings.
In a stunning display of basketball prowess, Nikola
Jokic’ of the Denver Nuggets achieved a rare 35-
point, 22-rebound, and 17-assist triple-double
against the Sacramento Kings, marking the first
such performance since Wilt Chamberlain. This
game was part of Jokic’s impressive run of five
consecutive triple-doubles, with his latest feat
accomplished before the fourth quarter even
began. Jokic’s performance was highlighted by a
remarkable long-range shot attempt, which, while
not confirmed as one of the longest in NBA history,
certainly added to the spectacle of the night. The
Nuggets clinched a 132-123 victory, with fans and
analysts alike lauding Jokic’s skills, suggesting he
might be the best player in the world today and
potentially one of the greatest ever.
