Scan of a slide taken 1995: By 1995 trips out of the office where quite rare,so a trip around the M25 to sub for the boss at the London and Herts Compliance Officers' Discussion Group was actually more appealling than it sounds! Just one snap from that day. The Stort Navigation is the canalised section of the River Stort running 14 miles from Bishop's Stortford downstream to its confluence with the River Lee Navigation at Feildes Weir near Rye House, Hoddesdon. The name of this lock is apparently a mystery. No one seems to know why it is thus named; it could be self-explanatory, the date of the fire lost in the past. A mill was noted in 1203 and it was first recorded as Burnt Mill in 1580. In the River Stort Act of 1759, it was shown as Brent Mill but this was a copyist’s error since there was a Burnt Mill shown on Samuel Cockett’s map in 1772. The mill closed in about 1880.

Little People, Big World is an American reality television series that premiered on March 4, 2006, and airs on TLC. The series chronicles the lives of the six-member Roloff family farm near Portland, Oregon. Many of the episodes focus on the parents, Matt and Amy, and one of their sons, Zach, who are diagnosed with dwarfism.
On August 26, 2010, TLC announced that the sixth season would be the last for the show.[1][2][3] After it's final season, TLC aired several specials:[4] Conquering Mount St. Helens, Breaking Down the Walls,[5] and Welcome to the Jungle.[5] On October 5, 2012, TLC announced a spin-off series - Little People Big World: Wedding Farm.[6][7] It chronicles Matt and Amy as they jump-start their wedding business on the farm.[8] The series premiered on November 13, 2012, and ran for six episodes.[9]
It was announced in October 2013 that Little People, Big World will return for a seventh season.[10] Season 7 consists of eight-episodes, and premieres on October 29, 2013.[10]

Background[edit]
In 2010, Amy Roloff commented on the beginnings of the show: "TLC came to us about five or six years ago, and so we suddenly realized we were given a great opportunity to educate people about dwarfism. When it was offered that we do a show about our lives, my husband and I were like, "Wow, nothing like this has even been on the air." Nothing had depicted dwarfism in an everyday way. Lo and behold, a few episodes turned into six seasons. And here we are."[11]
Premise[edit]
The show follows the daily lives of the Roloff family — parents Matt and Amy, and their four children: Zach, Jeremy, Molly and Jacob. Matt, Amy and Zach are little people, while Jeremy, Molly and Jacob are of average height or greater. Zach and Jeremy are fraternal twins; although Zach is not of average height, his brother Jeremy is above average height (6'1", or 185 cm).
The family lives on the 36-acre (150,000 m2) Roloff Farms, located north of Hillsboro in Helvetia, Oregon (a suburb of Portland). Although crops of pumpkins are grown and sold by the family, much of the farm has been converted into a series of playground set pieces for the Roloff children. They were designed by Matt, who spent most of his childhood in the hospital. He has tried to make his children's life the best possible.
Episodes of the show typically showcase one or more members of the Roloff family engaging in everyday activities such as shopping, athletics and dealing with household finances. The drama of the show arises from the fact that many of these activities are made more challenging due to the height of the dwarfs in the family, as Matt and Amy are 4'1" (124 cm) and Zach is 4'4" (132 cm).

The Calder and Hebble Navigation, running for 21 miles from the Aire and Calder Navigation at Wakefield to Sowerby Bridge, was one of the first navigable waterways into the Pennines. It was an extension westwards of the Aire and Calder Navigation and was surveyed by John Smeaton and the later sections by James Brindley.
Work began in 1758 to make the River Calder navigable above Wakefield. The navigation to Sowerby Bridge was completed in 1770, including a short branch to Dewsbury. Sir John Ramsden's Canal, now known as the Huddersfield Broad, was opened in 1776, providing a branch to Huddersfield.
In 1804, the Rochdale Canal opened, branching off the Calder and Hebble just before its terminus in Sowerby Bridge, crossing the Pennines to link Yorkshire with Manchester.

Saturday 28th January 1989
Navigation Crossing signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside Navigation Road level crossing in Altrincham and opened in 1882 replacing an earlier signal box located on the opposite side of Navigation Road level crossing. It was a Saxby & Farmer type 9 design fitted with a 20 lever Saxby & Farmer frame built by signalling the contractors Saxby & Farmer for the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway. It was renamed Navigation Road in the early 1930s, possibly in conjunction with the opening of Navigation Road railway station 20th July 1931. A replacement 20 lever Railway Executive Committee frame was installed in June 1947 by the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company. The signal box closed on 6th July 1991, control of Navigation Road level crossing passing to Deansgate Junction signal box by means of closed circuit television although the equipment was not commissioned until 22nd July 1991
Attached to the front of the block shelf are (left to right) a sealed release for 6 lever, normal and reverse indication for 6 facing point lock and 7A points, colour light signal repeaters for 10 and 15 signals, and a key for the signal box's locking room door in a glass fronted case

The WYRE LADY is large, impressive vessel, built in 1938 by Denny's of Dumbarton for the Caledonian Steam Packet Company as a railway passenger ferry. Originally named the Ashton with sister ship the Leven, now BRISTOL QUEEN, the two ships were launched in the May of 1938 at a cost of £4150 each.
The ships were immediately put into service providing trips to view the building of the new Cunard White Star Liner, RMS Queen Elizabeth and servicing the 1938 Empire Exhibition held in Glasgow. Following the close of the Empire exhibition, the ships continued sightseeing excursions, towards Clydebank viewing the Clyde Shipbuilding yards and the fitting out of the Queen Elizabeth at John Brown's shipyard.
In 1939 the then named Ashton was requisitioned by the Royal Navy on the outbreak of the Second World War and serviced as a naval tender to the Queen Mary and later the Queen Elizabeth in their roles as troop ships in the Clyde Anchorage. The vessel was repainted Naval Grey, carrying 'RN23' on the bow. It is at this time that Jimmy Cagney, the famous film star, is reported to have performed on board Ashton.
Following the end of the war in 1945, Ashton returned to service on the Clyde, initially on a new Gourock to Dunoon ferry service, but she became particularly well known on the run between Largs and Millport, an association which continued until 1962. Incidentally, the Ashton was also the last passenger vessel to sail the Forth and Clyde canal before its closure at the end of 1962.
By the winter of 1964/65, both the Ashton and Leven were laid up at Greenock, the Ashton eventually being sold and renamed the Gourockian. She was used for just 5 years on the summer ferry service between Gourock and Helensburgh. The now Gourockian became surplus to requirements in 1971 when she was replaced by the larger Countess of Breadel-Baine.
In 1971 the vessel was sold to become the Fleetwood to Knott End ferry across the mouth of the River Qyre, where she acquired her present name. In 1975 she began the most notorious part of her career to date whilst working from a hotel on the River Severn, her then owners ran into financial difficulty and she was arrested by the Admiralty Marshall and had a writ nailed to the mast.
In 1977 the WYRE LADY was sold and brought by sea around the coast by Britain by Alan oliver, to Doncaster. After a major refit she commenced work in March 1978 and continues to trade today having carried near on 2 million passengers over the course of three quarters of a century.

It Take All Of Us…Electronics Technician – Navigation 2nd Class Maurice Wallace, assigned to USS Nebraska (SSBN 739), receives the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine from NHB/NMRTC Bremerton Preventive Medicine staff Dec. 13, 2021. Wallace explained he volunteered to be administered the vaccine “because I want to go home and see family. It does take all of us and the faster we get this vaccine and the information out about it, the better off we’ll all be.” Initial doses of the vaccine have been administered to frontline health care workers, along with other first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential personnel, followed by health care and support personnel at military medical treatment facilities, active duty service members supporting COVID-19 response operations and to those providing national critical capabilities such as strategic and nuclear forces and homeland defense. An initial shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arrived at NMRTC Bremerton on Dec. 22, 2020, with vaccinations starting the day after. In conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) distribution plan for administering the vaccine at military medical treatment facilities like NMRTC Bremerton calls for prioritizing through a phased approach to vaccinate all active duty and reserve components, TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select beneficiaries, and select DoD civilians and contract personnel authorized to receive immunizations from DoD (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
Thanks to Peter and Tom from Bisham Abbey Sailing and Navigation School for the great day of training, fun, and for the photos. My solo row around Great Britain in the summer is feeling all the more closer and I'm definitely feeling more prepared for the journey ahead. www.oceansproject.com
