    Missing my native Finnish Lapland, this picture from today's news on Finnish TV made me smile. Fellow Laps herding their reindeers on a frozen lake.

    Are the herders prisoners?


    Edit:

    One of the comments for clarity:

    Pasting this here for those who wonder about the sentence (from a Redditor):
    ''One thing to understand here is that you don't start your sentence for a violent crime in a nice open prison. This guy has spent years in a closed one showing good conduct (no violence, no drugs, etc) to get to an open prison. The idea being that prisoners do the end part of their sentence in an open prison being taught how to live in the world (schooling, job skills, getting caught up on computers/internet, etc)

    Also another note is that as this guy said he was sentenced for murder means he is serving a life sentence (the only sentence for murder in Finland). In Finland that means the sentence has no end date but it can end if you are deemed to be rehabilitated with the average being around 14 years. Also after getting out of prison they will be on parole for the rest of their life with the smallest crimes sending them back into prison (only presidential parson can get rid of that part)''

    About same time here too but my best friend died couple of weeks before that with same symptoms as with Covid-19 (called only Corona at that time) and wasn't officially declared as victim.
    Last picture just couple of weeks before:

    I'm sorry to hear about your best mate @CountMike. We've been very lucky as no one in our family and friends have been hospitalised due to covid.

    I've been lucky as well. No one in my family has been directly affected by the virus (as far as sickness, we've all been affected). I got my vaccine last Friday (J&J 1 shot), My Mom got her 2nd on Thursday. My oldest brother scheduled for 1st tomorrow. Only my middle brother hasn't been offered yet. My condolences again Mike

    I made an error in judgement yesterday - I saw an offer for Paint Shop Pro Ultimate at £50 with a package of extras so thought I'd revisit my past and give it a try ... Big Mistake - It would not install the majority of the addons and messed up other stuff just for the sake of it.

    I used the software years ago when it was developed by a small independent company , JASC, and it met a lot of the graphics needs of a small business so was looking forward to a little nostalgia ...

    Of course Corel now own the name after swallowing JASC some years ago - and what a dog they've made of it

    Most of the auxiliary addon programs and all the "Creative content" refused to even install on my Windows 10 machine - Corel support's only suggestion was to try creating a new user account to run the software or reinstall windows - No thank you.

    The user interface of the main program, Paint Shop Pro, now follows the corel latest design, white and grey drab which is only broken up by the Spam for their other products which take up a major part of the User Interface,

    OK I could live with the spam if this was a trial or Shareware, (as the original PSP package from JASC was), but this is on a paid for top of the range "Ultimate" package that was fully registered with Corel.

    There were even random pop-up spammed adverts when none of the corel packages were running

    And they registered their software to my Microsoft account without my permission

    The install took a while as I had to install multiple items and in some cases multiple times, but it never fully installed so was useless and I soon took the best course and forensically removed all traces of the package, and requested a full refund which was accepted (the only thing that appeared to work well - this was handled by a third party company not Corel which may explain why it was efficient - will be interesting to see how long it takes to be refunded to my account.

    I used to use Corel software extensively of many years but this experience and the issues I had with CorelDraw a year or two ago, which also ended up removed from my systems, means that I will not be using their software again
