26 days ago NZ Herald

The new Lego Friends. What Fox News and, by extension, a lot of its viewers, are really riled up about this week is the new set of Lego Friends characters that have just been released. In fact, this is a direct response to what children told Lego they wanted to see more of. Who cares what a bunch of old people think about Lego Friends anyway? pic.twitter.com/kmb4PtTt7R — Vera Alves (@supergenericgal) January 29, 2023The bottom line is that if a more inclusive and diverse collection of Lego figures will make even just one child feel better about themselves, then they are worth having.

How higher interest rates are affecting farmers, ranchers

With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates at a relatively quick pace to combat inflation, farmers and ranchers have faced some different calculations when making decisions about their operations. He says interest rates more than doubling in a relatively short amount of time has changed the situation for producers. They had experienced a long run of low interest rates. Sherrick says the Fed is raising interest rates in response to “incredibly strong” inflation, and adds that interest rates were kept artificially low during the coronavirus pandemic to help support other sectors of the economy. Still, Sherrick says this is a historic increase in interest rates, even if asset values have also seen historic increases.

What killed seven animals on Ullswater?

ADVERTISEMENT“I have been visiting there since I was a kid and I have never ever seen so many dead birds and dead fish all on the shore. At the moment, Penrith is part of the 10km “surveillance zone”, after the discovery of bird flu at Winskill. If it’s bird flu, what did the fish die of, or is it just coincidence they were found close by? Instead, they provided a bullet-pointed “background” briefing containing standard public advice recommending that finds of birds be reported, particularly one or more dead birds of prey; three or more dead birds including gull, swan, goose or duck; or five or more dead birds of any species. Its Animal Plant and Health Agency has so far recorded cases of bird flu in the Appleby area, Carlisle, Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Lancashire, Staffordshire and Hampshire.
