"By 2024, the community had outgrown its rented rooms and church basements and purchased the building that became the new #Jewish center, roughly tying one in #Fairbanks, #Alaska, as the northernmost #Chabad houses in the world. The building sits in #Reykjavik’s compact downtown, just blocks from the iconic #RainbowStreet and #Harpa #OperaHouse that make the city one of the most Instagram-friendly sites in the world.
In a city that caters to tourists, and for a community built largely from #immigrants, longtime #Icelandic Jewish families, and people who married into Icelandic life, the new center represents something rare: a shared physical home.
“It’s been clear for a long time that we need a home for our community,” said one Jewish resident in #Iceland, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because not all of his colleagues know he is Jewish."

WALES TOURISM TAX: Caravan holiday families face 26% cost hike under levy plans — while five-star hotel guests pay just 1% more
Families taking affordable caravan and motorhome holidays in Wales face a cost increase more than 25 times higher than business travellers staying in luxury hotels under the Welsh Government’s tourism levy plans — and the industry is demanding an urgent review.
The warning comes from the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA) and the Caravan and Motorhome Club, who say the £1.30-per-person-per-night levy — passed by the Senedd last year and set to come into force from 2027 — has been designed in a way that disproportionately punishes budget holidaymakers.
The maths is stark. A family of five staying on a Welsh caravan or motorhome pitch costing an average of £25 per night would pay £6.50 extra per night in levy charges — a 26% increase on their costs. Meanwhile, a single business traveller staying in a five-star Cardiff hotel at £130 a night would pay the same £1.30 — just 1% of their bill.
HARPA director-general Debbie Walker said the current tiering system was fundamentally unfair to those who could least afford it. “We understand that local authorities need to raise revenue, but this approach disproportionally hits family holidaymakers seeking a low-cost break,” she said. “It is simply not fair to put families holidaying in their own accommodation in the same tier as someone staying in a five-star hotel.”
Harvey Alexander, CEO of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, said he was disappointed with the Welsh Government’s approach. “We have consistently advocated a fair, flat-rate, lower-tier levy across all campsite pitches, ensuring the great outdoors remains accessible and affordable for everyone — whether they stay in a tent, a caravan, or a motorhome,” he said.
The industry has also warned of an unintended consequence that could undermine the levy’s purpose entirely. If managed caravan parks become too expensive, some holidaymakers may abandon them in favour of informal overnight stops in laybys and car parks — removing them from the regulated sector and depriving local economies of spending while creating environmental and waste management problems.
Both organisations are calling on the Welsh Government to review the tiering system immediately. The tourism sector’s own data shows that caravanning and camping generates £1.65 billion in visitor expenditure and supports more than 30,000 jobs in Wales — making it one of the country’s most economically significant holiday industries.
Walker said the inconsistency in the current system was impossible to justify. “The Welsh Government’s tiering system is inconsistent and difficult to justify. We are asking the Government to review it immediately and to keep camping and caravanning affordable,” she said.
The tourism levy has proved one of the most contentious pieces of legislation to come before the Senedd in recent years, with supporters arguing it will fund improvements to local infrastructure and opponents warning it risks damaging Wales’s reputation as a value-for-money destination.

ИИ-расширения для браузеров: лучшие плагины для Chrome и Edge в 2025 году
На дворе 2025 год, в котором искусственный интеллект семимильными шагами набирает обороты. Такая тенденция повлияла на браузерные войны между Chrome и Edge, давно вышедшие за рамки сравнения скорости рендеринга и потребления памяти. Новое поле боя развернулось в области нейросетей, породив огромное количество разных расширений. Сегодня я собрал несколько полезных ИИ-расширений, которые облегчат вашу жизнь. Устраивайтесь удобнее - приступаю к рассказу.

Please don't forget, when you're dealing with AI startups, that when they make ludicrous claims about privacy ... they might just be flat-out lying to you.
The main HARPA website has this text:
PRIVACY BY DESIGN: HARPA runs locally in browser and does not send your data away.
Except we know this can't be true, because it's a ChatGPT service. Their actual privacy policy is a mess --but still fails to mention that you're also subject to OpenAI's terms!

You are by the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik at sunrise and you notice a pool of steaming water by a construction site. It could be a thermal spring, or a leak from the construction site. Do you (a) inform the site manager, or (b) pop round the other side of the puddle for a quick arty shot of the concert hall? No contest.
