As the coronavirus lockdown in Italy has left people without jobs and without the ability to feed themselves, the Mafia has been delivering food to those in need.
Italy is one of the world’s worst affected countries by the virus and is in its second month of lockdown. Only Spain and the United States have more confirmed cases of COVID-19, and only America has recorded more deaths.
In 2019, Italy implemented a Basic Income program. But the coverage is limited and many people in need did not qualify for aid.
Last month Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced an economic stimulus program. But again this has not yet reached all those citizens in need.
With people desperate to eat, especially in the poorer south of the country – the Mafia’s base, the crime syndicate have been helping to alleviate the problem by handing out food parcels.
There have also been reports of the Mafia offering ‘interest-free’ lending to struggling businesses.

Are there strings attached, is there a ‘return on investment’ plan for the Mafia?
The burning issue is, why are they doing this, and what do they hope to gain?
Italian authorities strongly believe there is a sinister ulterior motive at play.
The Italian minister of the interior, Luciana Lamorgese said: “The Mafia could take advantage of the rising poverty, swooping in to recruit people to its organization.”
Nicola Gratteri, anti-mafia investigator and head of the prosecutor’s office in Catanzaro, added:
“Mafia bosses consider their cities as their own fiefdom. The bosses know very well that in order to govern, they need to take care of the people in their territory.
“And they do it by exploiting the situation to their advantage. In the people’s eyes, a boss who knocks on the door offering free food is a hero.
“And the boss knows that he can then count on the support of these families when necessary. When, for example, the Mafia sponsors a politician for election who will further their criminal interests.”
In a report from 2018, it was revealed that the Mafia have been extending their influence into food production. Using it as a means to conduct legitimate business and also to potentially launder money.
This control over the food industry could now offer them an even greater position of strength in the current unstable environment.

Legendary conservationist Dr Jane Goodall has warned that humans need to change our ways and ban wildlife trading , or risk facing more deadly diseases like the coronavirus .

According to the company’s website, a 20-square-meter system is able to generate enough electricity to power an entire household. It can also be used to charge electric cars.
Recycling a big plus
There seem to be several advantages to the product, called the Platio Solar Paver.
Firstly, there’s the recycling aspect. Each solar paver comprises 400 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. PET is one of the most common forms of plastic.
Then there’s the strength factor. Once compressed into pavers, the material is more durable than concrete. It’s also reported to be non-slip and needs no maintenance.
Installation of the is ground solar panel is generally easier than solar panels which are attached to rooftops.
Space is another consideration. In some cases, mounting solar panels on a roof may not be possible. There may be obstructions in the way. Or the angle of the roof may not be optimized to catch enough sun.
Of course the opposite may be true too. Some people might just not have enough (or any) driveway or yard space to install the solar paver panels.
At least now though there is choice – the pavers won’t replace their rooftop counterparts, but they provide another option.
It’s also worth nothing that Platio’s energy harvesting systems can also be installed in courtyards and balconies. The balcony option could work for people living in apartments who have access to neither a roof nor an outdoor space.
Wind no longer a problem
Local governments and city planners also now have more scope to implement solar powering systems than they may previously have had.
Wind damage is another issue which Platio Solar’s product neatly avoids. For people living in areas prone to strong winds and storms, the danger of solar panels getting ripped off a roof is real.
Platio Solar have also given their paver panels a sleek design element, which if used appropriately, can actually enhance an outdoor space rather than detract from it. This is especially relevant in modern commercial buildings and urban areas, as you can see in the pictures below. The panels are available in several various colours as well.

Dance/movement therapy – How Body And Mind Overlap
Dance/movement therapy wants to promote mental insight and well-being among people. Unlike talk therapies, Dance/movement therapy wants our entire body to be engaged in the healing process via a creative medium. Our body is set to a dancing motion and acts as a message and the medium. Dance/movement therapy believes that the mind and the body are in constant connection with one another.
Dance/movement therapy is not just one way. There can be many ways to accomplish it. It can be done with music or without it. It can be engaged by just talking about it.

Dance/movement therapy has been used for a long time, but a lack of proper research has kept it in the dark. A few research works are coming up that are showing how dance/movement therapy actually works for a person:
Depression
Many people dance to help their mental state and feel happy. Dance therapy was used as somatic psychotherapy, to help with the emotional changes of the mind. It helps to bring up new feelings and expand your possibilities. It might even help you relive a past time in your life, and overcome it if it is causing you pain. A study shows certain movements can help you feel happy and can help tackle fear and anger. A few motor components are associated with emotional recognition. The therapy can help in treating depression too.
Parkinson’s disease
When coordinated with music, dance can require both cognitive and physical engagement. It will help your muscles to develop and help with your coordination. Along with that, since you require to remember the movement, people with Parkinson’s can find a significant improvement in their memory and visuospatial processing.
Many studies have shown that Dance/movement therapy helps visual memory and attentiveness as well as neuroplasticity in older adults.

Normally the road would have been full of tourist vehicles. But the Kruger National Park has been closed since March 25 due to the coronavirus lockdown in South Africa.

“Lions are used to people in vehicles,” he explained. “All animals have much more of an instinctive fear of people on foot, so if I had walked up they would never have allowed me to get so close.”
Why aren’t the lions staying in the bush?
In normal circumstances when tourists are around, the lions stay further away from the traffic. The rangers only usually see them on the roads after dark once the park is closed.
But when the weather is cooler, they have been known to sleep on the tarmac in order to absorb the heat.
Right now however it’s not that cold in South Africa – it’s just going into Autumn.

He pointed out that it had rained the previous night and said the tar would have been drier, adding that “big cats and water don’t mix.”

Astronomers working in Chile ’ s Atacama Desert have for the first time observed a star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy .

In this internet age , knowledge is no longer something you can not acquire .

The internet has all the information you need – you just have to Google it .

In The Journal of Positive Psychology , researcher Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso has presented a new paper which showed that intellectual humility might be an indicator of superior knowledge .
Why is that ?
Because if you want to learn something , you need to be humble and admit to yourself that you are not an expert on something .

Ranger is a 2-year-old German Shepherd. But there is something different in him – Ranger has stayed in his puppy stage even now. While he might look really cute, he suffers from Pituitary Dwarfism – a rare condition that restricts growth. He was diagnosed with this rare condition when the doctors found out that he had a parasite infection – Giardia.

When Shelby Mayo first got Ranger, she saw that he was smaller than the rest. She thought that it might be because of a parasite – a common one – Coccidia.
Ranger was dewormed and the parasite was taken out of him. However, it was only later that the other parasite, Giardia, was discovered. Ranger had a neck infection.
It was quite impossible to control the neck infection. It took them a visit to a vet and then, they discovered that Ranger had developed Giardia.
The parasite was removed and Ranger was all well. It was only later that his parents noticed that Ranger was not growing properly.

Another visit to the veterinarian and they understood that he had Pituitary Dwarfism. The disorder is related to the endocrine system. Ranger’s thyroid gland does not produce adequate thyroid hormone causing him to stay stuck in the same height. But on top of that, he also has flaky skin and sheds a lot of furs sadly.
But the good news is that the owners took care of him and now, he is in recovery. And people all over the internet are loving this cute little doggo.

The wheelchair 2-year-old Cillian Jackson needed costs more than $20,000. His parents couldn't afford it. Insurance wouldn't pay for it. So, a high school robotics team built him one: https://t.co/n5CFrO2A62 pic.twitter.com/JYyA8nv6pq — KHOU 11 News Houston (@KHOU) April 2, 2019
Born with a genetic defect, Cillian Jackson was not able to perform proper motor functions. The only movement that this 2-year-old could do was with a stroller or move around in his parent’s arms. For a 2-year-old, this lack of freedom must have been difficult. Though Cillian may not express it, his parents knew that they had to do something about it.
