The Sound Valley music festival, originally scheduled for February 20, this Saturday, at Cook s Gardens, will now take place at the Oceanview Speedway on March 13 and 14. Organiser Gioia Damosso said the decision was made shortly after the Government s Covid-19 alert level 2 announcement on Sunday. It feels like we re organising a whole new festival, Damosso said. We re keeping the original lineup though, and, because it s now over two days, we ll be able to add a whole raft of local acts and a couple from out of town as well.

(MENAFN - The Conversation) The ruddy duck, originally from North America, was introduced to Britain as an ornamental wildfowl in the 1940s and soon spread throughout the country. Only after a decade or more of expensive culling, has this non-native duck been largely removed .
The success of eradication programmes like this has led to calls to similarly cull the ring-necked parakeet , a species from Africa and south Asia that is now a common sight in London and is spreading across Britain. As the UK s only naturalised parrot and the most northerly breeding parrot in the world, any cull promises to be highly controversial.

Kathy Brenneman hears plenty of taxpayer horror stories in her receptionist s job at a tax preparation service in Waldorf, Maryland. But this past year, the spiraling crisis at the Internal Revenue Service collided with her personal life as well.
Brenneman had filed an amendment to her 2018 taxes via snail mail, along with a $108 check to pay the balance due, in early March 2020, when the virus that causes Covid-19 was first spreading across America.
