Nobody is around in London. Even the river is empty of any boat. April 4, 2020, pandemic quarantine in London Canary Wharf. This is the view from the river pier and from the river promenade leading to Canary Wharf from Narrow Street.
And here I have a book suggestion about the history of the port of London, the docks that eventually became Canary Wharf now:

This book was first published in 1999, when the Asian financial crisi was still unfolding. It is a notable books as it clearly and precisely foresee the economic climate of the next 20 years, from the tendency of interest rate to go to zero to the status of permanent stagnation of many economies.
It also explains why economic policy in a zero interest rate economy is counter intuitive and many economic laws are turned upside down and the effect of economic policy decision are the opposite of what would be expected in a “normal” economic climate with higher interest rates and less unused production capacity
Paul Krugman, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in economics, shows how today’s crisis parallels the events that caused the Great Depression – and explains what it will take to avoid catastrophe. In 1999, in The Return of Depression Economics, Paul Krugman surveyed the economic crises that had swept across Asia and Latin America, and warned that those crises were a warning for all of us: like diseases that have become resistant to antibiotics, the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression were making a comeback.
In the years that followed, as Wall Street boomed and financial wheeler-dealers made vast profits, the international crises of the 1990s faded from memory. But now depression economics has come to America: when the great housing bubble of the mid-2000s burst, the U.S. financial system proved as vulnerable as those of developing countries caught up in earlier crises – and a replay of the 1930s seems all too possible. In this new, greatly updated edition of The Return of Depression Economics, Krugman shows how the failure of regulation to keep pace with an increasingly out-of-control financial system set the United States, and the world as a whole, up for the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s.
He also lays out the steps that must be taken to contain the crisis, and turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly crafted in Krugman’s trademark style-lucid, lively, and supremely informed – this new edition of The Return of Depression Economics will become an instant cornerstone of the debate over how to respond to the crisis.
A new video about Muslim Halal Food in Bangkok will go live soon on the channel. Out of curiosity I have made a few searches on the matter of Halal food and Muslim Halal meat.
Halal is Arabic for “allowed”. Halal food is that which conforms to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran.The Islamic form of slaughtering animals requires killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe.
Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, known as tasmiya or shahada.
There are varying standards of Halal due to different understandings of Islamic Law by Islamic Scholars. This is why you will find multiple Halal certifiers in a locality.
In terms of food/food products, halal meat products – except pork — which is not permissible in Islam – they have to be sourced from healthy animals and slaughtered according to Islamic ways, these include several factors:
The animal has to be alive and healthy.
A Muslim has to perform the slaughter in an appropriately ritual manner – including in the name of Allah.
The animal’s throat must be cut by a sharp knife severing the carotid artery, jugular vein and windpipe in a single swipe.
Blood must be drained out of the carcass.
Produced without any forbidden ingredients (see above)
Proven to be in the interest of the consumer’s health and well being
Must be clean and hygienic
Have supply chain integrity, forbidden ingredients in halal foods include the following:
Dead or dying animals prior to slaughter
Blood and blood byproducts
Carnivorous animals
Birds of prey
Land animals without external ears
Animals killed in the name of anything other than Allah
Attempts have been made to explain or justify some of the prohibitions based on scientific reasoning as follows:
Carrion and dead animals are unfit for human consumption because the decaying process leads to the formation of chemicals which are harmful to humans
Blood that is drained from the body contains harmful bacteria, products of metabolism, and toxins
Swine serves as a vector for pathogenic worms to enter the human body. Infections by Trichinella spiralis and taenia solium are not uncommon. Fatty acids and composition of pork fat have been mentioned as incompatible with human fat and biochemical systems
Intoxicants are considered harmful for the nervous system and affect human judgement, leading to social and family problems and in many cases even death.
Although these explanations are sound, the underlying principle behind the prohibitions remains that it is a commandment of Allah (God).
Islamic Jurisprudence has derived certain principles from the Hadith to determine whether a particular animal or bird is lawful or unlawful.
