We went to a new park yesterday that has two giant twisting slides, but the first thing the kids wanted was to play on the swings. They love the swings. And of course, they still want the bucket swings rather than the big kid swings. Fine with me! I'm able to swing them higher (great for photo ops) without having to worry about them falling out. :)

BUCKFASTLEIGH SX76NW HIGHER MILL LANE, Buckfast 1011-1/1/40 (East side) 06/01/83 Higher Mill, including walls to leat at north end and remains of machinery (Formerly Listed as: HIGHER MILL LANE, Buckfast Higher Mill, premises of Buckfast Plating Co Ltd) GV II Woollen mill, later used as plating factory, disused at time of survey (1992). Mill probably late C18 with later alterations. Local grey limestone rubble, upper storeys of front elevation slate-hung, half basement partly rendered. Asbestos slate roof, half hipped at right end, gabled at left end; left end stack with rendered shaft. Plan: large rectangular building fronting the road with a cartway entrance at the left end. The mill consists of large open rooms on each floor including an attic floor, the first and 2nd floors are well lit with large front and rear windows. Staircase to rear of cartway entrance. Machinery was presumably powered by the leat at the west end, which runs underground, emerging near the south gate of Buckfast Abbey, to the SE. A (truncated) launder (qv) to rear of the mill, carries a second water supply parallel to the mill with a sluice between the mill and the rear range. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, the ground floor storey slightly below road level at the front. Asymmetrical 7-window range. Roof line rises at left end to left of a gabled dormer which may have been associated with a hoist. Cartway to left with paired plank doors. Ground-floor windows glazed with various C20 casements. First-floor windows probably most with the original sash frames in original embrasures but mostly reglazed. 7 second-floor 20-pane hornless sash windows, probably late C18, some in poor state of repair. 3 hipped roof attic dormers light the roofspace. The left return has a loft loading door. The right return, overlooking the leat, has 3 round-headed recesses in the centre, one to each storey, thelower opening partly glazed. Boarded rectangular windows in the outer bays, ground and first floor, the ground-floor right opening glazed. The rear elevation is buttressed, most of the windows boarded up at time of survey. INTERIOR: ground floor has chamfered crossbeams with runout stops and exposed joists. An axial row of cast-iron columns supports the crossbeams. The columns divide into 2 at the top. The first floor has chamfered cross beams and a row of secondary axial posts. The 2nd floor has chamfered cross beams with metal shoes at either end to which loose metal rods are attached. Attic storey floored. Roof: Probably C18 roof construction of large scantling, mortised at the apex with a mortised collar and queen posts which have iron straps tied over the principals; probably secondary high butt collar. Historical note: the documentation for this building has been researched by Elizabeth Knowling. There was a mill on the site by at least 1730, described as a tucking mill by 1760. In 1800 "Mills" were described as "lately erected on the site previously occupied by the tucking mill". By 1953 the buildings were in use as a plating works. The late C18/early C19 owner, Samuel Berry, built himself a house at Buckfast Abbey (qv) out of reused material. Physical remains of the wool industry, crucial to the economy of Devon in the C16, C17 and C18, are rare in the county. This building is certainly one of the earliest and most intact in the county and a significant surviving example. (Knowling E: Private archive: 1991-). © Historic England

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Americans are losing confidence in the affordability and quality of higher education. In a recent poll, a clear majority of Americans said they thought the quality of the nation’s system of higher education had stagnated or declined, and almost three-quarters thought that higher education was not affordable for everyone who needs it. At the same time, a postsecondary credential is viewed nearly universally as important.
The erosion of public confidence in American higher education has forced colleges and universities to confront important questions: Are too many young people going to college? Are students learning the skills they need to succeed in the workplace and beyond? Can a high-quality education be delivered more efficiently using digital technologies? And, loudest of all, why does college cost so much?
On March 17, the Brown Center on Education Policy hosted a conversation with Purdue University President Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. on the challenges facing American higher education. Daniels drew on his experience as Indiana Governor, OMB Director, corporate executive, and think-tank leader in providing his perspective on how to reform higher education for the better.

I got my car washed this morning and went for a short drive afterwards. The humidity is higher than I've ever felt it...here.
Climate change policy - transforming ever-higher targets into growth and competitiveness in the EU Climate policy will be high on the agenda of the EU institutions during the ninth legislative term. The designated European Commission President identified the policy field as one of her key priorities in her political guidelines. Ursula von der Leyen not only promised to set the long-term climate target in law, but also expressed her willingness to increase both the 2030 and the 2050 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. In the meantime, businesses across Europe face multiple challenges going beyond climate change, such as mounting trade disputes and speedy digitisation. Increasing or at least preserving their competitiveness in this challenging environment remains their top priority. The “Green Deal” should be a good deal for businesses in the EU, which need economically cost-efficient policies much more than ever-higher targets. Carbon leakage leading to a loss of employment in Europe and rising CO2 emissions worldwide is the worst-case scenario that needs to be avoided. The German and Austrian Chamber Organisations, DIHK and WKÖ, jointly with their European umbrella organisation EUROCHAMBRES, would like to discuss the future of the EU’s climate policy with business representatives, Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and many more. This even was hosted by Dr. Markus Pieper, Member of the European Parliament.

This is an experimental level I made showing how you can expand the play area in Mekorama by 15 blocks at each side - and also upwards! The player isn't able to move if too high, but a bit higher than normal and he gains special powers, such as being able to walk over slopes!
Thanks to Denis Nazin on the Mekorama forums for showing how to go beyond the normal game limits.

The motto is faster, higher and muddier! Called Wattoluempiade (meaning Mud Olympics), this event is held annually in mud flats along the banks of the Elbe River in Brunsbüttel near Hamburg, Germany. Competitions in the mud along the river here have been played since 1978. Today the competition is held alongside a series of concerts on the same weekend for local bands, called "Mudstock", which raise money for the Schleswig-Holstein Cancer Society.
