Mirror mosaic columns in the pagoda at the Hu Pin Khaung Daing Village Resort, near Khaung Daing (ေခါင္တိုင္) by Mary Loosemore

Thursday 31 October 2013: Nyaung Shwe (ညောင်ရွှေမြို့) / Khaung Daing (ေခါင္တိုင္)

My free day at Nyaung Shwe began with a glimpse of the local monks on their morning rounds before rendezvousing with Anna and Miriam at breakfast in the Hu Pin hotel's almost open air dining area. Our plan for the day was to hire bicycles and to find the hot springs on the west side of Inle Lake.

But first we headed into the town market in search of woven plastic baskets... First seen in Nyaung-U (ညောင်ဦးမြို့) and again at Kalaw (ကလောမြု့), the brightly coloured modern versions of the bamboo shopping baskets had been top of my souvenir list for a while but had proved elusive in Nyaung Shwe other than at tourist shops, where they came with tourist prices to match. We'd almost given up hope of finding them in the market when suddenly we saw a flock of ladies gather around a pair of opening shutter doors... through which bundles of packet baskets started to materialise. We had chanced upon the town's best basket shop - and, after watching a few local ladies and gents make their purchases, three baskets were duly bought.

Next stop, the post office. Small and off the beaten track, we followed instructions from the hotel's receptionist team and arrived just as the post office opened. Josh's prediction that no post card would make it back home was to prove unfounded - which meant my recipients ended up getting two each, with stamps commemorating the upcoming Southeast Asian Games being hosted by Myanmar. Success all round.

Back to the hotel to drop off our baskets and to pick up hot springs kit, and then on to hire bikes from a stall on the far side of the market. Although not in as good condition as the ones we'd hired for our Bagan explorations, our Nyaung Shwe bikes were hardy enough to get us out and about along the lakeside roads which came both surfaced and not.

A smashing day out, albeit not successful in terms of our planned destinations: the hot springs at Khaung Daing (ေခါင္တိုင္) have been turned into a tourist spa, but we had a lovely time cycling through the countryside as far as the Hu Pin Khaung Daing Village Resort where we pottered around manicured gardens and up to the pagoda at the top of a long flight of steps, rewarded with beautiful views out over the lake, a chatty, tubby, monk and more glittering, mirror mosaic decor. It turned out the rest of our group were at the hotel too, lunching on the restaurant verandah along with two other western girls - the only guests we saw in the whole place.

Retracing our steps (tyres) towards Nyaung Shwe, we stopped off at the Innoo Ancient Pagodas and paused at Khaung Daing opposite the hot springs to climb up to the pagoda (and spotted the bubbling public pool at the base of the staircase), where the guardian provided tea and snacks as we rested in the cool interior. Lots of interesting village life en route in both directions - schools, markets, shops, restaurants, and temples of course, and super helpful people every time we stopped for directions.

Cycling straight through Nyaung Shwe, we went in search of the Red Mountain Vineyards from whence we'd hoped to watch the sun set with a glass of red wine... but we failed to find the sign or the road - I wish I'd seen this map before! Instead, after a refreshing, farewell, juice at the lovely Aurora, we headed back across the river to the tree lined avenue we'd cycled along in the morning, and found a sunset spot with a view out over the ponds to an old monastery and the hills behind with a lone fisherman checking his nets closer by. Both our days at Inle Lake brought beautiful late afternoon light.

Back in Nyaung Shwe and having returned our bikes, we stood firm in our resolve to deny ourselves a third dinner at the Aurora - tempting though it was - opting for the night market instead. Home to a handful of food stalls with a welcoming sign-cum-menu listing all the dishes on offer at the entrance, it was hard to choose between the family run stalls so we plumped for the one that offered a Shan style food with an English version of their menu. At 500 kyat a dish we feasted on dishes whose names took our fancy, and topped it all off with a takeaway sweet paratha from the adjacent stand.

A day which brought home to me my good fortune in hooking up with fellow adventurers, Anna and Miriam.

EL MILAGRO HUMANO DE UNA LAGUNA ROSA, LAGUNILLO DE LAS CARDENILLAS, THIOCAPSA ROSEOPERSICINA (1/2). by Proyecto Agua

En Biodiversidad virtual y también en Instagram como @proyectoagua.

(1. Tétradas de Thiocapsa roseopersicina, 2. Ilustraciones de la descripción original de Winogradsky, 3. Relaciones filogenéticas, 4. Ubicación del Lagunillo en relación con los vertidos de purines)

En esta laguna mágica que el tiempo horadó en la roca entre sabinares milenarios, el agua, un día de otoño, se vistió de rosa.

No fue el primer signo de un milagro, desde hace ya tiempo, mucho antes de la entrada de la primavera, el aire se fue inundando de una fragancia insólita e intensa a porqueriza, que ha cambiado el olor fresco del campo.

Dos milagros nunca conocidos ni por el hombre ni por las sabinas que siempre vieron el agua verde con transparencias de cardenillo como el cobre viejo que tiñe su lecho nunca cárdeno. Y quizá de ahí en parte la confusión con la que a veces se ha justificado el repentino cambio de color de esta laguna que pasó a ser cárdena cuando nunca lo fue, aunque siempre haya estado, como su nombre cuenta, asentada sobre un lecho de roca blanda tintada de cardenillo.

El milagro de que el aire ya no huela a tomillo y a resina, a suelo fresco y a romero, resultó ser un milagro humano... dicen, en aras del progreso. Sí, así lo llaman cuando cuatro sacan tajada y el resto sale perdiendo. Aquí perdimos todos, y sobre todo la Naturaleza profundamente hermosa y sabia. Y quizá ella, para compensar esa afrenta del mal olor en el aire y esos riegos pestilentes de purines que se escurren e infiltran por el suelo envenenando, pintó sus aguas de color de rosa, queriendo que su futuro fuese así, rosa, y no como este presente negro y maloliente de una nave de cerdos confinados, que dulcemente llaman granja, que destila sobre la tierra, el aire y el agua sus desechos.

El milagro del color parece que resultó ser también un milagro humano. Solo el hombre es capaz de convertir así lo que la Naturaleza no consiguió en milenios, transformar el agua de esta laguna en un vino sin alcohol, de azufre, orines y amoniaco...y es aquí, como en donde muchos otros lugares en donde el hombre deja su huella envenenada, esa Naturaleza intenta poner belleza en lo que él arrasa en nombre del progreso: millones de millones de bacterias han encontrado como estrellas en el cielo su universo líquido infinito en la laguna, el lugar donde teñir de rosa lo que el hombre pintó de oscuridad.

Thiocapsa roseopersicina es el milagro de esta laguna, se trata de una bacteria púrpura del azufre de la familia Chromatiaceae. Descubierta por Winogradsky a finales del siglo XIX son características sus células esféricas y pequeñas, de 1-3 µm de diámetro que con frecuencia forman tétradas o se agrupan dando lugar a formaciones irregulares con un mayor número de individuos. A diferencia de otras bacterias del azufre cercanas a ella taxonómicamente, sus células no presentan vesículas de gas, aunque sí grandes gránulos de azufre intracelular. Es también una bacteria gramnegativa y no móvil como sí lo son las del género Lamprocystis con el que se podría confundir y cuya movilidad se debe a la existencia de un único flagelo.

Thiocapsa roseopersicina se divide por bipartición y en determinadas condiciones puede hacerlo dentro de unas vesículas membranosas de las que se van liberando sus células al medio en el que vive.

Una de las especiales particularidades de esta bacteria es su doble metabolismo, puede realizar la fotosíntesis en condiciones anaerobias gracias a la presencia de pigmentos como la bacterioclorofila a y a varios carotenoides que son los responsables de la coloración rosada que dan al medio en el que vive, pero al mismo tiempo, de forma secundaria, en condiciones aerobias, también lleva a cabo un metabolismo quimiolitotrofo utilizando sulfato o tiosulfato como donador de electrones y el oxígeno del medio como su receptor final.

En el Lagunillo de las Cardenillas se dan las condiciones óptimas para su desarrollo, un ambiente natural ligeramente salobre y unas condiciones microaeróbicas, que son las que se ha comprobado experimentalmente que favorecen mejor su desarrollo al combinarse los dos sistemas metabólicos: fotosintético y quimiolitotrofo y todo ello desencadenado, en este caso, por el aporte de los nutrientes externos que en forma de compuestos de nitrógeno, fósforo y otros orgánicos llegan desde los terrenos circundantes abonados principalmente con purines y que en época de lluvia son transfundidos en el terreno hasta alcanzar el lecho de esta laguna.

Tras el riego con purines y las lluvias del otoño el Lagunillo de las Cardenillas se tiñó de púrpura y rosa, acompañando su presencia con unos elevados niveles de amonio que hacen que sus aguas, cuando la temperatura se eleva, huelan a purines mezclados con los del sulfuro de hidrógeno que sí son propios de ella.

Se conocen cada vez más ecosistemas acuáticos afectados por esos procesos milagrosos en los que el agua se tiñe de púrpura cuando las aguas residuales y especialmente las de las granjas de cerdos en particular se vierten en el medio acuático en lagunas con escasas concentraciones de oxígeno.

En el Lagunillo de las Cardenillas Thiocapsa roseopersicina domina absolutamente con su presencia el medio acuático tiñéndolo de rosa y a ella acompañan también numerosos espirilos, cianobacterias como Pseudoanabaena y densos cardúmenes de Euglena viridis junto a grandes cantidades de pequeñas amebas desnudas como Vannella o Myxamoeba, pintan de rosa así el presente ante un futuro gris e incierto.

Las fotografías tomadas a 1000 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia proceden de unas muestras recogida los días 27 de diciembre de 2018 y 19 de enro de 2019 con Simón Guadalajara, Lucía Labajo y Jesús Muñoz en el Lagunillo de las Cardenillas, junto a Cañada del Hoyo (Cuenca) dentro del conjunto de torcas que forman este paisaje acuático, maravilloso y singular hoy amenazado.

St. Peter's Square & Basilica by lukedrich_photography

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Basilica

The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican (Italian: Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano), or simply St. Peter's Basilica (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), is an Italian Renaissance church in Vatican City, the papal enclave within the city of Rome.

Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom".

Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica is the burial site of Saint Peter, chief among Jesus's Apostles and also the first Bishop of Rome. Saint Peter's tomb is supposedly directly below the high altar of the Basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St. Peter's since the Early Christian period, and there has been a church on this site since the time of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica, which would replace Old St. Peter's Basilica from the 4th century AD, began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.

St. Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage and for its liturgical functions. The Pope presides at a number of liturgies throughout the year, drawing audiences of 15,000 to over 80,000 people, either within the Basilica or the adjoining St. Peter's Square. St. Peter's has many historical associations, with the Early Christian Church, the Papacy, the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-reformation and numerous artists, especially Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age. St. Peter's is one of the four churches in the world that hold the rank of Major Basilica, all four of which are in Rome. Contrary to popular misconception, it is not a cathedral because it is not the seat of a bishop; the Cathedra of the Pope as Bishop of Rome is in the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran.

Rome is the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,872,800 residents in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq mi), it is also the country's most populated comune. It is the fourth most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, which has a population of 4,355,725 residents, thus making it the most populous metropolitan city in Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City (the smallest country in the world) is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.

Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. The city's early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans, and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded by some as the first ever metropolis. It was first called The Eternal City (Latin: Urbs Aeterna; Italian: La Città Eterna) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called the "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World). After the fall of the Western Empire, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly fell under the political control of the Papacy, and in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, almost all the popes since Nicholas V (1447–1455) pursued over four hundred years a coherent architectural and urban programme aimed at making the city the artistic and cultural centre of the world. In this way, Rome became first one of the major centres of the Italian Renaissance, and then the birthplace of both the Baroque style and Neoclassicism. Famous artists, painters, sculptors and architects made Rome the centre of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 1871, Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, which, in 1946, became the Italian Republic.

Rome has the status of a global city. In 2016, Rome ranked as the 14th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The famous Vatican Museums are among the world's most visited museums while the Colosseum was the most popular tourist attraction in world with 7.4 million visitors in 2018. Host city for the 1960 Summer Olympics, Rome is the seat of several specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The city also hosts the Secretariat of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) as well as the headquarters of many international business companies such as Eni, Enel, TIM, Leonardo S.p.A., and national and international banks such as Unicredit and BNL. Its business district, called EUR, is the base of many companies involved in the oil industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and financial services. Rome is also an important fashion and design centre thanks to renowned international brands centered in the city. Rome's Cinecittà Studios have been the set of many Academy Award–winning movies.

Penrhyn Castle - Railway Museum - Charles by Elliott Brown

A visit to the National Trust property that is Penrhyn Castle

Penrhyn Castle is a country house in Llandygai, Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales, in the form of a Norman castle. It was originally a medieval fortified manor house, founded by Ednyfed Fychan. In 1438, Ioan ap Gruffudd was granted a licence to crenellate and he founded the stone castle and added a tower house. Samuel Wyatt reconstructed the property in the 1780s.

The present building was created between about 1822 and 1837 to designs by Thomas Hopper, who expanded and transformed the building beyond recognition. However a spiral staircase from the original property can still be seen, and a vaulted basement and other masonry were incorporated into the new structure. Hopper's client was George Hay Dawkins-Pennant, who had inherited the Penrhyn estate on the death of his second cousin, Richard Pennant, who had made his fortune from slavery in Jamaica and local slate quarries. The eldest of George's two daughters, Juliana, married Grenadier Guard, Edward Gordon Douglas, who, on inheriting the estate on George's death in 1845, adopted the hyphenated surname of Douglas-Pennant. The cost of the construction of this vast 'castle' is disputed, and very difficult to work out accurately, as much of the timber came from the family's own forestry, and much of the labour was acquired from within their own workforce at the slate quarry. It cost the Pennant family an estimated £150,000. This is the current equivalent to about £49,500,000.

Penrhyn is one of the most admired of the numerous mock castles built in the United Kingdom in the 19th century; Christopher Hussey called it, "the outstanding instance of Norman revival." The castle is a picturesque composition that stretches over 600 feet from a tall donjon containing family rooms, through the main block built around the earlier house, to the service wing and the stables.

It is built in a sombre style which allows it to possess something of the medieval fortress air despite the ground-level drawing room windows. Hopper designed all the principal interiors in a rich but restrained Norman style, with much fine plasterwork and wood and stone carving. The castle also has some specially designed Norman-style furniture, including a one-ton slate bed made for Queen Victoria when she visited in 1859.

Hugh Napier Douglas-Pennant, 4th Lord Penrhyn, died in 1949, and the castle and estate passed to his niece, Lady Janet Pelham, who, on inheritance, adopted the surname of Douglas-Pennant. In 1951, the castle and 40,000 acres (160 km²) of land were accepted by the treasury in lieu of death duties from Lady Janet. It now belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public. The site received 109,395 visitors in 2017.

Grade I Listed Building

Penrhyn Castle

History

The present house, built in the form of a vast Norman castle, was constructed to the design of Thomas Hopper for George Hay Dawkins-Pennant between 1820 and 1837. It has been very little altered since.

The original house on the site was a medieval manor house of C14 origin, for which a licence to crenellate was given at an unknown date between 1410 and 1431. This house survived until c1782 when it was remodelled in castellated Gothick style, replete with yellow mathematical tiles, by Samuel Wyatt for Richard Pennant. This house, the great hall of which is incorporated in the present drawing room, was remodelled in c1800, but the vast profits from the Penrhyn slate quarries enabled all the rest to be completely swept away by Hopper's vast neo-Norman fantasy, sited and built so that it could be seen not only from the quarries, but most parts of the surrounding estate, thereby emphasizing the local dominance of the Dawkins-Pennant family. The total cost is unknown but it cannot have been less than the £123,000 claimed by Catherine Sinclair in 1839.

Since 1951 the house has belonged to the National Trust, together with over 40,000 acres of the family estates around Ysbyty Ifan and the Ogwen valley.

Exterior

Country house built in the style of a vast Norman castle with other later medieval influences, so huge (its 70 roofs cover an area of over an acre (0.4ha)) that it almost defies meaningful description. The main components of the house, which is built on a north-south axis with the main elevations to east and west, are the 124ft (37.8m) high keep, based on Castle Hedingham (Essex) containing the family quarters on the south, the central range, protected by a 'barbican' terrace on the east, housing the state apartments, and the rectangular-shaped staff/service buildings and stables to the north. The whole is constructed of local rubblestone with internal brick lining, but all elevations are faced in tooled Anglesey limestone ashlar of the finest quality jointing; flat lead roofs concealed by castellated parapets. Close to, the extreme length of the building (it is about 200 yards (182.88m) long) and the fact that the ground slopes away on all sides mean that almost no complete elevation can be seen. That the most frequent views of the exterior are oblique also offered Hopper the opportunity to deploy his towers for picturesque effect, the relationship between the keep and the other towers and turrets frequently obscuring the distances between them. Another significant external feature of the castle is that it actually looks defensible making it secure at least from Pugin's famous slur of 1841 on contemporary "castles" - "Who would hammer against nailed portals, when he could kick his way through the greenhouse?" Certainly, this could never be achieved at Penrhyn and it looks every inch the impregnable fortress both architect and patron intended it to be.

East elevation: to the left is the loosely attached 4-storey keep on battered plinth with 4 tiers of deeply splayed Norman windows, 2 to each face, with chevron decoration and nook-shafts, topped by 4 square corner turrets. The dining room (distinguished by the intersecting tracery above the windows) and breakfast room to the right of the entrance gallery are protected by the long sweep of the machicolated 'barbican' terrace (carriage forecourt), curved in front of the 2 rooms and then running northwards before returning at right-angles to the west to include the gatehouse, which formed the original main entrance to the castle, and ending in a tall rectangular tower with machicolated parapet. To the right of the gatehouse are the recessed buildings of the kitchen court and to the right again the long, largely unbroken outer wall of the stable court, terminated by the square footmen's tower to the left and the rather more exuberant projecting circular dung tower with its spectacularly cantilevered bartizan on the right. From here the wall runs at right-angles to the west incorporating the impressive gatehouse to the stable court.

West elevation: beginning at the left is the hexagonal smithy tower, followed by the long run of the stable court, well provided with windows on this side as the stables lie directly behind. At the end of this the wall turns at right-angles to the west, incorporating the narrow circular-turreted gatehouse to the outer court and terminating in the machicolated circular ice tower. From here the wall runs again at a lower height enclosing the remainder of the outer court. It is, of course, the state apartments which make up the chief architectural display on the central part of this elevation, beginning with a strongly articulated but essentially rectangular tower to the left, while both the drawing room and the library have Norman windows leading directly onto the lawns, the latter terminating in a slender machicolated circular corner tower. To the right is the keep, considerably set back on this side.

Interior

Only those parts of the castle generally accessible to visitors are recorded in this description. Although not described here much of the furniture and many of the paintings (including family portraits) are also original to the house. Similarly, it should be noted that in the interests of brevity and clarity, not all significant architectural features are itemised in the following description.

Entrance gallery: one of the last parts of the castle to be built, this narrow cloister-like passage was added to the main block to heighten the sensation of entering the vast Grand Hall, which is made only partly visible by the deliberate offsetting of the intervening doorways; bronze lamp standards with wolf-heads on stone bases. Grand Hall: entering the columned aisle of this huge space, the visitor stands at a cross-roads between the 3 principal areas of the castle's plan; to the left the passage leads up to the family's private apartments on the 4 floors of the keep, to the right the door at the end leads to the extensive service quarters while ahead lies the sequence of state rooms used for entertaining guests and displayed to the public ever since the castle was built. The hall itself resembles in form, style and scale the transept of a great Norman cathedral, the great clustered columns extending upwards to a "triforium" formed on 2 sides of extraordinary compound arches; stained glass with signs of the zodiac and months of the year as in a book of hours by Thomas Willement (completed 1835). Library: has very much the atmosphere of a gentlemen’s London club with walls, columned arches and ceilings covered in the most lavish ornamentation; superb architectural bookcases and panelled walls are of oak but the arches are plaster grained to match; ornamental bosses and other devices to the rich plaster ceiling refer to the ancestry of the Dawkins and Pennant families, as do the stained glass lunettes above the windows, possibly by David Evans of Shrewsbury; 4 chimneypieces of polished Anglesey "marble", one with a frieze of fantastical carved mummers in the capitals. Drawing room (great hall of the late C18 house and its medieval predecessor): again in a neo-Norman style but the decoration is lighter and the columns more slender, the spirit of the room reflected in the 2000 delicate Maltese gilt crosses to the vaulted ceiling. Ebony room: so called on account of its furniture and "ebonised" chimneypiece and plasterwork, has at its entrance a spiral staircase from the medieval house. Grand Staircase hall: in many ways the greatest architectural achievement at Penrhyn, taking 10 years to complete, the carving in 2 contrasting stones of the highest quality; repeating abstract decorative motifs contrast with the infinitely inventive figurative carving in the newels and capitals; to the top the intricate plaster panels of the domed lantern are formed in exceptionally high relief and display both Norse and Celtic influences. Next to the grand stair is the secondary stair, itself a magnificent structure in grey sandstone with lantern, built immediately next to the grand stair so that family or guests should not meet staff on the same staircase. Reached from the columned aisle of the grand hall are the 2 remaining principal ground-floor rooms, the dining room and the breakfast room, among the last parts of the castle to be completed and clearly intended to be picture galleries as much as dining areas, the stencilled treatment of the walls in the dining room allowing both the provision of an appropriately elaborate "Norman" scheme and a large flat surface for the hanging of paintings; black marble fireplace carved by Richard Westmacott and extremely ornate ceiling with leaf bosses encircled by bands of figurative mouldings derived from the Romanesque church of Kilpeck, Herefordshire. Breakfast room has cambered beam ceiling with oak-grained finish.

Grand hall gallery: at the top of the grand staircase is vaulted and continues around the grand hall below to link with the passage to the keep, which at this level (as on the other floors) contains a suite of rooms comprising a sitting room, dressing room, bedroom and small ante-chamber, the room containing the famous slate bed also with a red Mona marble chimneypiece, one of the most spectacular in the castle. Returning to the grand hall gallery and continuing straight on rather than returning to the grand staircase the Lower India room is reached to the right: this contains an Anglesey limestone chimneypiece painted to match the ground colour of the room's Chinese wallpaper. Coming out of this room, the chapel corridor leads to the chapel gallery (used by the family) and the chapel proper below (used by staff), the latter with encaustic tiles probably reused from the old medieval chapel; stained and painted glass by David Evans (c1833).

The domestic quarters of the castle are reached along the passage from the breakfast room, which turns at right-angles to the right at the foot of the secondary staircase, the most important areas being the butler's pantry, steward's office, servants' hall, housekeeper's room, still room, housekeeper's store and housemaids' tower, while the kitchen (with its cast-iron range flanked by large and hygienic vertical slabs of Penrhyn slate) is housed on the lower ground floor. From this kitchen court, which also includes a coal store, oil vaults, brushing room, lamp room, pastry room, larder, scullery and laundry are reached the outer court with its soup kitchen, brewhouse and 2-storey ice tower and the much larger stables court which, along with the stables themselves containing their extensive slate-partitioned stalls and loose boxes, incorporates the coach house, covered ride, smithy tower, dung tower with gardeners' messroom above and footmen's tower.

Reasons for Listing

Included at Grade I as one of the most important large country houses in Wales; a superb example of the relatively short-lived Norman Revival of the early C19 and generally regarded as the masterpiece of its architect, Thomas Hopper.

Coughton Court - The Tower Room - fireplace by Elliott Brown

A visit to Coughton Court in Warwickshire, on the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend in late May 2018. A National Trust property, it was the home of the Throckmorton family.

Coughton Court is an English Tudor country house, situated on the main road between Studley and Alcester in Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building.

The house has a long crenelated façade directly facing the main road, at the centre of which is the Tudor Gatehouse, dating from 1530; this has hexagonal turrets and oriel windows in the English Renaissance style. The gatehouse is the oldest part of the house and is flanked by later wings, in the Strawberry Hill Gothic style, popularised by Horace Walpole.

The Coughton estate has been owned by the Throckmorton family since 1409. The estate was acquired through marriage to the De Spinney family. Coughton was rebuilt by Sir George Throckmorton, the first son of Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton Court by Catherine Marrow, daughter of William Marrow of London. The great gatehouse at Coughton was dedicated to King Henry VIII by Throckmorton, a favorite of the King. Throckmorton would become notorious due to his almost fatal involvement in the divorce between King Henry and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Throckmorton favoured the queen and was against the Reformation. Throckmorton spent most of his life rebuilding Coughton. In 1549, when he was planning the windows in the great hall, he asked his son Nicholas to obtain from the heralds the correct tricking (colour abbreviations) of the arms of his ancestors' wives and his own cousin and niece by marriage Queen Catherine Parr. The costly recusancy (refusal to attend Anglican Church services) of Robert Throckmorton and his heirs restricted later rebuilding, so that much of the house still stands largely as he left it.

After Throckmorton's death in 1552, Coughton passed to his eldest son, Robert. Robert Throckmorton and his family were practicing Catholics therefore the house at one time contained a priest hole, a hiding place for priests during the period when Catholics were persecuted by law in England, from the beginning of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The Hall also holds a place in English history for its roles in both the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 to murder Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, although the Throckmorton family were themselves only indirectly implicated in the latter, when some of the Gunpowder conspirators rode directly there after its discovery.

The house has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1946. The family, however, hold a 300-year lease and previously managed the property on behalf of the Trust. In 2007, however, the house reverted to management by the National Trust. The management of the property is renewed every 10 years. The family tenant until recently was Clare McLaren-Throckmorton, known professionally as Clare Tritton QC, until she died on 31 October 2017.

The house, which is open to the public all year round, is set in extensive grounds including a walled formal garden, a river and a lake.

The gatehouse at Coughton was built at the earliest in 1536, as it is built of stones which came from Bordesley Abbey and Evesham Abbey after the Dissolution of the Monasteries Act in 1536. As with other Tudor houses, it was built around a courtyard, with the gatehouse used for deliveries and coaches to travel through to the courtyard. The courtyard was closed on all four sides until 1651, when Parliamentary soldiers burnt the fourth (east) wing, along with many of the Throckmorton's family papers, during the English Civil War.

After the Roman Catholic Relief Act was passed in 1829, the Throckmorton family were able to afford large-scale building works, allowing them to remodel the west front.

The Tower Room

The upper rooms of Tudor gatehouses were often reserved for important guests or used as banqueting rooms, where the final course of sweetmeats and other delicacies would be served.

The Tower Room was probably also converted into a makeshift Catholic chapel in Elizabethan times, when the Throckmortons could only celebrate Mass in secret.

Decorative Bird Houses: The 10 Rules to Follow by Recyclart

www.1001gardens.org/2017/06/decorative-bird-houses-10-rul...

There are several ways to attract birds to their garden or balcony: feeding them in winter, providing them with water for drinking and bathing, planting favorable plants, not using chemicals, or installing a nest box. Many species need artificial nesting sites because their natural habitats are becoming poorer: dead hedgerows and trees disappear, facades of new buildings are smooth and hermetic, old piles of wood and rocks are eliminated, and Walls are destroyed.

Even if the installation of a nest box does not compensate for this heavy trend, it is a concrete gesture for our winged friends and a source of wonder for adults and children. In this article, we have selected ten important principles or "commandments" to maximize the chances that your birdhouse will be used and appreciated by birds.

1 - Choose The right model

The size of the entry hole allows you to select the hosts you wish to privilege (read the different types of nest boxes):

For blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), black tits (Parus ater) and tits (Poecile palustris), the hole will have a diameter of 25 mm.

For the Great Tit (Parus major), Sparrow (Passer montanus) and Black Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), the diameter of the hole will be 28 mm.

It will reach 32 mm for the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and the Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), and 45 mm for the Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).

The shape is also important: if the chickadees, nuthatches or sparrows prefer the traditional nesting boxes, the familiar Red Robin (Erithacus rubecula) and the Blackbird (Turdus merula) prefer those with a large rectangular opening in the front and middle depths 100 mm).

The Gray Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) needs a very shallow (60 mm) nest box in order to monitor the entry hole, while the Crested Troglodyte (Troglodytes troglodytes) is looking for a high nest box (140 mm ).

The interior of the nest should not be too smooth so that the young can grip and easily get out.

There are many types of ready-to-use nest boxes for different species in the market, but you can also build them yourself by associating your children. There are several plans available on the web, and do not forget that there are also nest boxes for bats!

2 - Fix it solidly

It is necessary to tie your nest box to a solid and stable support, thanks to one or to fixings which do not risk to rust or to alter with time (galvanized wire, sheathed electric wire, etc.). If you attach it to a living tree, be careful not to hurt it: do not use nails.

The growth of the tree will not be impeded by placing a piece of wood between the trunk and the wire.

3 - Choose a good material

The nest box must be solid, robust, made with boards at least 15 mm thick. Avoid treated wood (or use non-hazardous products): over time, it will take a duller shade that will help melt it into the environment.

The softest woods can, however, be treated with Sadolin, a product that is not very dangerous for birds: limit its application outside the nest box, avoiding the perimeter of the hole, and allowing it to dry well before installation.

Pressure impregnated wood should not be used with copper arsenate and chromium.

But the good nest boxes are not necessarily made of wood: for example, those of the company Schwegler are made of "wooden concrete", a mixture of cement and sawdust.

Do not have trim in the nest box (straw, moss ...), the birds will bring. However, for large species such as owls or peaks, a layer of sawdust or chips may be placed in the bottom.

4 - Choose a sheltered place

The place chosen should be quiet, rather far from a busy road or road. It is especially important to install the nest box in a place as sheltered as possible from the weather.

The orientations East, South-East or even Northeast are ideal. The nest box should not be exposed all day long to the sun or the permanent shade. Place it away from the prevailing winds, for example behind a bush, avoiding leaves from obstructing the entrance of the nest.

Be careful, the inside of the nest box must remain dry: it is necessary to ensure that the planks are well joined. It is advisable to lean it slightly forward to facilitate the flow of rain on the roof.

The nest box should not be on the trajectory of a trickle of water that would form after a downpour. You can drill a small exhaust hole at the floor to facilitate fluid evacuation.

Avoid wet locations (the presence of moss on trunks or rocks is an unfavorable index). Some birds such as red throats require that the nest box is relatively hidden, for example against a wall where ivy grows.

5 - Protecting it from predators

It is important to install the nest box away from predators (cats, squirrels ...): for example, you can place a wide mesh around the nest box, place spiny branches at the base of the stake or Trunk, plant a rosebush or fix a "stop-cat" around the trunk.

It must be placed at a height, ideally at least two meters from the ground, at least 1.50 meters. Place it preferably against a trunk rather than a branch.

Here are some recommended heights for several species:

Troglodyte cute (Troglodytes troglodytes): 1,5 meter - 4 meters

Family Robin (Erithacus rubecula): 1.5 meters - 5 meters

Song thrush (Turdus philomelos): 1.5 meters - 2 meters

Gray Wagtail (Motacilla alba): 1.5 meters - 2 meters

Treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla): 1.5 meters - 5 meters

Blackbird (Turdus merula): 1.5 meters - 6 meters

Green Peak (Picus viridis): 2 meters - 6 meters

Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros): 2 meters - 6 meters

Nuthatch (Sitta europaea): 2 meters - 6 meters

Creche falcon (Falco tinnunculus): 8 meters - 12 meters.

A metal plate placed around the entrance will prevent it from being enlarged by mammals.

For cats to not kill birds in the nest box by entering the leg, the depth should be at least 13 cm from the hole (for circular entry models). For shallow nests, such as those for robins or cockroaches, you can, for example, place a wire net around it.

Caution, predators should not get too close by a well-placed branch or a nearby wall. However, the presence of perches in the vicinity is important because the parents generally do not enter the hole directly.

6 - Install it at any time of the year

It is best to install your nest box in autumn or early winter: it will be spotted by birds before spring. Some species such as tits can settle very early (as of late winter), while others like winter troglodytes can spend the winter there.

It is actually possible to set up nest boxes all year round, including in April, May or June, even if those set up later will have less chance of being occupied before the following season. Installing nest boxes spread out over time allows you to target the species you prefer or not: for example, a nest box for Redstart with a white forehead placed before the end of April will prevent it from being occupied by sparrows or tits.

Some birds such as the Gray Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) return late in their migration (late May), others nest several times during the year and some who have abandoned a nesting site will be delighted to find one available. Finally, your nest box will surely be spotted by birds visiting your garden and these will occupy it perhaps next spring.

The use of a nest can indeed take up to a year, do not lose patience! On the other hand, if a nest box is not occupied two years after its establishment, it is because the place is not suitable.

7 - Install a reasonable number

Avoid placing two nest boxes for the same species too close together; The distance of "safety" varies according to the species: at least 20 meters for tits and 70 meters for the White-fronted Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) and Nuthatch (Sitta europaea).

But you can install several nests of birds that do not compete directly with each other, like fruit-eating and frugivorous species.

For colonial species (sparrows, starlings, swallows), this question of minimum distance does not arise, of course. Nest boxes should be installed as far away as possible from feeders and bird baths.

8 - Limit your visits

Limit your visits. Use binoculars to look away from parents and young people without disturbing them. If you find chicks on the ground, pick them up and put them back in the birdhouse so they are safe.

9 - Clean it at the end of the season

The nest should be easily accessible to be cleaned at the end of the nesting season. Also, prefer models with a removable top for easy cleaning. In autumn, from September, empty the nest box, brush inside, clean it if necessary with water, dry it and apply a pest control product that is safe for birds.

For example, you can use thyme oil. The birds themselves use certain plants to keep pests away (read Some birds use their botanical knowledge to build their nests). Make sure that the boards are tight and that the tie is solid.

10 - Convince the others

Convince your friends, your acquaintances, your company, your association or your town hall to also install nest boxes. Natural cavities are increasingly scarce, and modern buildings offer fewer and fewer bird-friendly sites: you can help them!

Hubble Space Telescope picture postcard of hundreds of brilliant blue stars wreathed by warm, glowing clouds. The festive portrait is the most detailed view of the largest stellar nursery in our local galactic neighborhood. The massive, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus Nebula, a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. There is no known star-forming region in our galaxy as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus. Many of the diamond-like icy blue stars are among the most massive stars known. Several of them are over 100 times more massive than our Sun. These hefty stars are destined to pop off, like a string of firecrackers, as supernovas in a few million years.

The image, taken in ultraviolet, visible, and red light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, spans about 100 light-years. The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars' birth and evolution.

Irrawaddy dolphin by Ben The Man

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black

The Irrawaddy dolphin is a not quite a River dolphin as its normal habitat lies near the coast and delta areas, it is found in river such as the Ganges, the Mekong and the Ayeyarwady River Irrawaddy River from where it gets its name. The Irrawaddy Dolphin has a lifespan of about 30 years and can reach about 130kg in weight and about 2.5m in length. It has a rounded head and a flat nose and is classified as a critically endangered species with only about 65 left in total. There are a few clusters of dolphins around the Laos / Cambodian border on the Lower Mekong, which can be seen by taking a kayaking tour. The dolphins don’t seem to mind the kayak’s and swim about normally. There are only 12 dolphins left in this area and a few more further down stream in Kratie - Cambodia. It is possible to spot a few dolphins whilst on the trip as they reside just below the waterfalls on the Cambodian side of the river. The best time to see them is in the morning or afternoon due to the heat and they seem to surface more in cooler temperatures. It's indeed very hard to spot them in the rainy season when the water isn't clear and the Mekong is 14km wide. The dolphins dive for a couple minutes and only come to the surface for a couple of seconds to breath. Always a surprise where they popup. We're lucky to have met this highly endangered species during our boat kayak trip and I was lucky to captured them through the wetlands of Si Pan Don in Laos, around the Mekong Fault Line. A fixed percentage of the paddle tour is dedicated to the Laos dolphin conservation fund. There are only 64 or 65 irrawaddy dolphins left in the Mekong river in Southeast Asia. With a more rounded head and a shorter fin, these dolphins are unique and live in only a small, 190 km- stretch of the river that flows through Laos and Cambodia. Evidence shows that their immune systems are being broken down by pollution into the river and the source is yet to be identfied. The Mekong river flows from mountains of Tibet to China, Thailand, Laos en Cambodia to the sea in Vietnam at a length of almost 4900 km. Members of numerous NGOs are investigating and they believe that several countries may be involved. Our journey through Laos will end with amazing fresh water dolphins and raging waterfall jumps in kayaks overlooking the border with Cambodia.

Photo of the endangered species: the Irrawaddy Dolphin in Southern Laos - Northern Cambodia. We enjoy a day kayaking tour through the wetlands of Si Pan Don in Laos, around the Mekong Fault Line. It is possible to spot a few dolphins and we were lucky. The dolphins don’t seem to mind the kayak’s and swim about normally. There are about only 12 dolphins left in this area and a few more further down stream in Kratie - Cambodia. One Irrawaddy dolphins just popup the breath. Such lovely wildlife spotting! The best time to see them is in the morning or afternoon due to the heat and they seem to surface more in cooler temperatures. It exciting to see these unique dolphins so close. Laos wildlife at it best.

Si Pan Don, ofwel vierduizend eilanden, is een verzameling bewoonde en onbewoonde eilandjes in de Mekong. De rivier is hier een maar liefst 14 km breed labyrint van zandplaten, eilanden, rotsen, stroomversnellingen en spectaculaire watervallen. De eilandjes liggen in het uiterste zuiden van Laos, tegen de grens met Cambodja en hebben een unieke flora en fauna. Ten zuiden van Si Pan Don maak je veel kans om de bedreigde zoetwaterdolfijn te zien. Het Wereldnatuurfonds maakt zich ernstig zorgen over het lot van de Irrawaddydolfijn in de Mekong-rivier in Zuidoost-Azië. Volgens onderzoekers leven er nog 64 tot 65 van deze dolfijnen in de zwaar vervuilde rivier. De zoetwaterdolfijn staat inmiddels op de lijst van dieren die met uitsterven worden bedreigd. In de afgelopen vijf jaar werden ongeveer vijftig dode dolfijnkalveren gevonden in Laos en Cambodja. Sectie op de dieren wees uit dat ze kampten met grote hoeveelheden pesticiden, kwik en andere giftige stoffen in hun lichamen. Het Wereldnatuurfonds onderzoekt waar de vervuiling van de rivier precies vandaan komt. Het kwik komt waarschijnlijk van mijnbouwactiviteiten langs de bijna 4900 kilometer lange rivier. De Mekong heeft haar bron op de Tibet-hoogvlakte en stroomt via de zuidelijke Chinese provincie Yunnan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos en Cambodja naar de monding in Vietnam. Het beste kan je de dolfijnen bekijken vanaf het water. We maken een tocht per kayak en peddelen eerst de sneltromende rivier af. Na een uur moeten we het water uit: we naderen de spectaculaire Li Phi waterval! Een stuk verder mogen we het water weer in. De rivier is hier duidelijk veel ruiger en met nog veel meer vaart varen we bijna Cambodja in. De dolfijnen zwemmen hier de grens over maar wij moeten stoppen op een klein strandje precies op de grens met Cambodja. Hier betalen we de grenspolitie één Dollar om toch even de grens te mogen overgaan. Normaal heb je visum nodig. De meeste kans om dolfijnen te zien maak je in de droge tijd. In de het regenseizoen is de rivier erg breed en is het water vrij troebelig. De dolfijnen duiken enkel minuten onderwater en komen maar enkele seconden naar boven om te ademen. Altijd een verassing waar ze naar boven komen. Het is echt fantastisch om deze bedreigde zoetwater dolfijnen zonder snuit te zien zwemmen, in de Mekong tussen Kratie en de grens met Laos. Wij hebben ze gelukkig kunnen zien van behoorlijk dichtbij en prachtige grote zilverreigers en hopen dat ons toeristengeld kan bijdragen tot het in stand houden van dit bijzonder soort dolfijnen.

International Redhead Day 2011 - Internationale Roodharigen Dag 2011, Breda by Qsimple, Memories For The Future Photography

Wikipedia: "Redheadday is the name of a Dutch summer festival that takes place each first weekend of September in the city of Breda, in the Netherlands."

Facts about redheads: "Red hair is seen on the heads of only less than one percent of people.in the world. Most redheads live in the U.K., Ireland, and former colonies of U.K. like Australia.

The highest percentage of natural Redheads in the world is in Scotland (13%), followed closely by Ireland with 10%. In the US, about 2% of the population are natural redheads.

Redheads are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists."

Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine by David McKelvey

Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux is a Theatre in Bordeaux, first inaugurated on 17 April 1780. It was in this theatre that the ballet La Fille Mal Gardée premiered in 1789, and where a young Marius Petipa staged some of his first ballets.

The Theatre was designed by the architect Victor Louis (1731-1800), who was selected for the task by winning the famous Grand Prix de Rome. Louis was also famous for designing the galleries surrounding the gardens of the Palais Royal, and the Théâtre Français in Paris.

The Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux was conceived as a temple of the Arts and Light, with a neo-classical facade endowed with a portico of 12 Corinthian style colossal columns which support an entablature on which stand 12 statues that represent the nine Muses and three goddesses (Juno, Venus and Minerva).

In 1871 the theatre was briefly the National Assembly for the French Parliament. The inside of the theatre was restored in 1991, and once again has its original colours of blue and gold. The Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux is one of the oldest wooden frame opera houses in Europe not to have burnt or required rebuilding.

Today the theatre is home to the Opéra National de Bordeaux, as well as the Ballet National de Bordeaux. Source: en.wikipedia.org

Bordeaux is a port city on the Garonne River in the Gironde department in southwestern France.

The municipality (commune) of Bordeaux proper has a population of 243,626 (2012). Together with its suburbs and satellite towns, Bordeaux is the centre of the Bordeaux Métropole. With 749,595 inhabitants (as of 2013) and 1,178,335 in the metropolitan area, it is the fifth largest in France, after Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Lille, and before Toulouse.

It is the capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, as well as the prefecture of the Gironde department. Its inhabitants are called "Bordelais" (for men) or "Bordelaises" (women). The term "Bordelais" may also refer to the city and its surrounding region.

Bordeaux is the world's major wine industry capital. It is home to the world's main wine fair, Vinexpo, and the wine economy in the metro area takes in 14.5 billion euros each year. Bordeaux wine has been produced in the region since the 8th century. The historic part of the city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble" of the 18th century. After Paris, Bordeaux has the highest number of preserved historical buildings of any city in France. Source: en.wikipedia.org

Nouvelle-Aquitaine ("New Aquitaine") is the largest administrative region in France, located in the southwest of the country. The region was created by the territorial reform of French Regions in 2014 through the merger of three regions: Aquitaine, Limousin and Poitou-Charentes. It covers 84,061 km2 – or 1⁄8 of the country – and has approximately 5,800,000 inhabitants. (municipal population on 1 January 2012). The new region was established on 1 January 2016, following the regional elections in December 2015.

Larger than French Guiana, it is the largest region in France by area, with a territory slightly larger than that of Austria. Its largest city, Bordeaux, together with its suburbs and satellite cities, forms the 7th-largest metropolitan area of France, with 850,000 inhabitants. The region has 25 major urban areas, among which the most important after Bordeaux are Bayonne (288,000 inhabitants), Limoges (283,000), Poitiers (255,000), Pau (241,000), and La Rochelle (206,000), as well as 11 major clusters. The growth of its population, particularly marked on the coast, makes this one of the most attractive areas economically in France: the new region outperforms the Île-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in terms of demographic dynamism.

After the Ile-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the premier French region in research and innovation, with five universities (Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Limoges, Poitiers and Pau) and several Grandes Ecoles. The first agricultural region of Europe in terms of turnover, it is the first French region in terms of tourism jobs, as it has three of the four historic resorts on the French Atlantic coast (Arcachon, Biarritz and Royan), as well as several ski resorts (e.g. Gourette), and is the fifth French region in terms of business creation (all sectors).

Clean Water for Bathing by elycefeliz

Water Washed Diseases

World Water Day

There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres.

When a billion people in the world already live in chronic hunger and water resources are under pressure we cannot pretend the problem is ‘elsewhere’. Coping with population growth and ` -- - - ensuring access to nutritious food to everyone call for a series of actions we can all help with:
- follow a healthier, sustainable diet;
- consume less water-intensive products;
- reduce the scandalous food wastage: 30% of the food produced worldwide is never eaten and the water used to produce it is definitively lost!

- produce more food, of better quality, with less water.

I am grateful for clean water to wash in -

Mukta and her mother plant rice by www.actionaid.org.uk

Mukta and her mother plant rice.

Rice Project – Child Sponsorship.

ActionAid is working with communities and partner organisation ‘VARD‘ (Voluntary Association for Rural Development), on a seed-loan project, a project which highlights the impact of child sponsorship on the whole community. A farming cooperative has been established to train women on seed preservation and sowing techniques which have helped families who previously suffered from hunger. As well as affecting health; hunger prevented children from going to school, affecting their concentration and motivation. Now with child sponsorship funds, people are more self sufficient and children are enrolled in school /supplied with educational materials. Women have formed self help groups and ActionAid has helped them set up income generating projects such as cattle rearing and gardening schemes.

For the last 10 years ActionAid has been working in Bangladesh and has recently implemented work addressing the hardship caused by flash floods. This type of flooding used to take place every four to six years, however due to the large-scale deforestation of the Himalayan boarder hills and climate change, over the last 10 years, it has flooded eight times.

The vast flat plain area of Telia Notunpara where Mukta and her family live is severely affected by flash flooding. As only rice has been traditionally cultivated here, the arrival of flash flooding before harvesting would wipe out the community’s food supply, resulting in widespread hunger and Mukta would not be able to attend school.

“I feel afraid. When the floods come, our houses fall – everything collapses. Strong floods suddenly rush down the mountains and that’s why when the water enters our homes, we run to the college building to take shelter.”

“The paddy fields become submerged and the vegetable gardens too. Almost everything goes under water. We don’t have enough food to eat. Going to school becomes very hard because we are hungry. We suffer in many ways and it’s all because of the floodwater.”

With the support of ActionAid Child Sponsorship, the community formed Reflect circles and decided to build and maintain embankments to defend against the floodwaters. ActionAid also supported the community with rice seeds to create a seed bank where farmers can “loan” seeds to cultivate and then repay double the amount of seeds after harvesting so that can be used for other farmers. This now means that they no longer have to buy rice seeds and have enough seeds to keep growing enough rice to sell and feed their families.

Mukta’s mother Shofikun is one of the 25 women who have been part of the ActionAid trainings on how to improve rice yields, rear animals and cultivate their own kitchen gardens. Mukta and the other children in her village can now go to school without feeling hungry:

“Father sowed the fields and Mother and I helped with the weeding. After the paddy grew, we dried the crops under the sun and then sold some, but kept half for ourselves. Before, we went hungry and earning money was difficult, but now I like the harvesting season.”

“You get pains in your stomach if you can’t eat. Now we can eat – so, I don’t feel that pain. But I remember the pain. I feel good now. I can continue to go to school too. I think education is good for everyone.”

“Education can help me be anything I want to be and I want the future to be better. I like learning the best and I am happy when I have eaten. After eating I can go to school, so I like it.”

“At school, we draw pictures and we share our messages and when someone draws very nicely, she gets awarded a glass and a plate. I want to be a doctor when I grow up and then help everyone as people need to be looked after.”

Shofikun, 45 years old and lives in Telia Notunpara, Sunamganj district Bangladesh.

The vast flat plain area of Telia Notunpara lies at the bottom of the hills and is where Shofikun and her family live. As only rice had been traditionally cultivated here, the arrival of flash flooding before harvesting would wipe out the community’s food supply, resulting in widespread hunger and malnutrition.

Twenty-five women lead the community to learn skills in rearing animals, growing rice and kitchen garden cultivation. This project empowered the women to not only increase their food production, but also helped them to earn an income. As they learnt to manage their crops they can now ensure there is enough food for their families all year round.

Shofikun can now provide food for her family and keep her daughter Mukta, happy and in school. It is hard to grow enough with access to only two units of rented land, but with her new skills, she can produce twelve mounds of rice:

“The paddy I grow produces enough food for three months but I make sure we make it last for six months. I have saved up seeds to cultivate next year, I make sure to save a little before we eat it all.”

“I have been trained in cattle and duck rearing. I also learned how to prepare cartons. We trained in vegetable gardening and I am using these skills now. We had so little knowledge before and our knowledge has grown. We feel we have reached a big achievement.”

“The women’s group I belong to is busy, we are all working – all 25 of us. We are investing in loans for two cows and I also know where to get help in case they become sick. We have received lots of support and I now have a positive feeling about this because we can now eat three times a day.”

“I feel so happy that my daughter goes to school. She eats snacks, plays a little and returns home safe to go again the next day. I like it very much, I dream that she will complete her education and that one day she will get a job. I want this to happen with all my heart, as I know Mukta must stand on her own feet. I hope we continue to receive support, for Mukta – for her education.”

“Without ActionAid, we would not have achieved all that we have. They are trying their best to help us and I think nothing in the world is bigger than what they do. They want to improve the lives of the people of Bangladesh.”

“We are surviving and working together and that’s a good feeling.”

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:30AM, made it out driving by 7:58 and went out until 12:41 (break for food from 10:24-10:36) for a total of ~4.75 hours. Spent $91.75 plus ~$3.22 gas for 47.0 miles of driving (36.4 mpg @ $2.49/G), for a total cost of $94.97. We drove to 35 yard sales, stopping at 12 (34%) of them. We made 32 purchases (43 items) for a total estimated value of $675.21, leading to a profit/savings of $583.46. So in essence, we multiplied our $91.75 investment by 7.36. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $665.06 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $583.46 in cash that we saved. How long does $583.46 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 4.75 hrs we spent here?). Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $122.83/hr as a couple or $61.42/hr per person.
