The British Touring Car Championship held at Rockingham on 14th September 2013
Rockingham Motor Speedway, a great venue name but is it a huge white elephant or jewel in the British Motorsport crowd? The track was opened in 2001 by the Queen and is now 12-years old. Although it is tidy and really well maintained, the whole venue has a feeling of neglect and almost desolation. Not physical neglect; as i said it is all really well looked after, but neglected from the original reason that it was designed and built for.
When the venue was first conceived in the late nineties, the hope was that if the first purpose built Oval circuit since Brooklands in 1907 was constructed in the UK, then top level American racing series would visit and compete here on a regular basis. The track and the venue infrastructure was carefully designed to meet the highly restrictive standards needed to comply with IndyCar and NASCAR regulations.
After all that effort and money was expended the IndyCar Series (the Cart Series in those days) did visit the newly completed circuit in 2001 and again in 2002. Set the track lap records and then never returned. The NASCAR series never visited and the ASCAR europeon stock car series, didn't really take off and this fizzled out as well. After 6-years of intermittent use, the full oval circuit finally fell silent at the end of the 2007 season.
The annual BTCC visit to the Northamptonshire circuit is one of the largest events held each year but even this is totally swamped by the sheer size of a venue designed for a much bigger type of motorsport altogether. This observation might be due to the fact that I have only ever visited Rockingham on the Saturday, but I have been to the qualifying day on a lot of other events and not had this feeling of isolation anywhere else.
The circuit can comfortably seat 52,000 spectators, but when only about 1000 turn up you can feel a bit lost in the whole environment. With only a few hardcore spectators in attendance, the circuit has all the charisma of a council estate car park, flat and unassuming.
The view from the main grandstand is spectacular with the whole of the circuit, if not most of the county, easily seen from any of the seats, but it is just so remote . I'm sure I am not alone in enjoying walking around different circuits and viewing the action close up from different viewpoints and corners. To really experience the racing, you cant beat getting really close to action and Rockingham just can't compete on this front.
There is one spectator facility which is better than anywhere else in the country. That is the viewing area on the top of the pit garages, which gives you a fantastic view of the action and activity within the pit lane; something which you just don't get to see at any other circuit. If they could just provide spectator access overlooking the main overtaking location at the Deene hairpin and some access to the infield area , then Rockingham could once again be a spectacular place to view top flight motor racing.
Student Mentoring Programme - Barbacoa Meeting #CampusLife 2018/19. INFO:
blog.uchceu.es/vida-en-el-campus/7-consejos-para-hacer-am...
im having a few problems down at the job centre. basically, the staff there are sayin that ive been out of work for too long. i dunno. personally i dont think six years is a long time but they seem to see things differently.
so what theyve done is put me on this job restart programme. how it works is this: ive now got no choice in my life direction. they find me a job and if dont want it or dont show up for work then they take my benefit away. the problem is, i dont like any of the jobs they keep findin for me, so i keep getting booted out of one and then they keep havin to relocate me to another. they keep bollockin me, sayin i shouldnt make "so much fuss" and i should just "get on with it". but whats the point of doin a job if it only makes u miserable? where's the logic in that? i mean, if ur not happy in a job ur employer shud let u get out as soon as possible - otherwise ur gonna do shoddy work, spread all ur bad vibes and negative energy to the rest of the workforce and ultimately bring the company to its knees. no, my approach would be as follows: if an employee is unhappy in their job, dont be cruel, dont be pissy, HELP them to get out - and get them out QUICK. why not transfer them to a different part of the country? how about some sort of job swap? u know, like some sort of life exchange? let someone who wants to live in brighton whos currently living in bradford exchange jobs with someone whos currently living in brighton who wants to live in bradford. its not bloody rocket science is it. the main thing about engendering loyalty is to employ people who really want to do the job - DO NOT under any circumstances keep someone in a job who cant stand doing it. FFS. how f--kin stupid are we as an animal race? i mean, how many more years of mindless f**king drudgery will we all have to endure before someone latches on to this? let me guess - HELL will freeze over before anyone latches onto the fact that we DONT have to be working by the miserable f**king standards of an industrial age that died on its arse in the 80's!
my problem though is that i havent found a job on this planet yet that i think "ooh, this is fun, i like this one." and thats because im a CREATIVE. and the TRUTH is, the real ROCK BOTTOM LINE is this: there aint no space for creativity in a market-driven economy. the message from the UK job market to creative is: "get the f**k out or curl up and die, cos there aint no place for u here, loser." and, yeah, its all very well seein these high-powered officey type job ads that say they are, quote, "creative", but more often than the most creative it gets is working out how to "create" a spreadsheet in excel or insert a table in Word. well, f**k my old boots and call me a numb nuts but i don't know why they don't just advertise for Vincent Van Gogh or a proper Picarsole.
mmm, so this picture shows me turning up for my first day at WTF Cheap-As-FukC Homestores in my exciting new role as Executive Warehouse Consultant Shelving Operative Orifficer. well, at least the job title makes my life seem a whole lot less shit. in fact, i am thrice proud, since i have been awarded a medal with my job title on it. i polish it every day by hacking up flem and gobbing on it. then i spend hours staring at myself lovingly in its brassy reflection.
the relationship between myself and my new employer is truly harmonious. QUOTE: "i can safely say that the job restart action was a truly expert piece of strategic thinking on the part of the job centre workforce."
LMFAO. F*ck we're so f**king dumb as a species it's unreal. when are we gonna get UBI?

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
Prayer read by Kathryn Cooper (11 years old) from New Zealand
God of hope, the source of peace and the refuge of all in distress, we remember those you have gathered from the storm of war into the everlasting peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears, bring reconciliation and justice to all peoples, and establish lasting harmony among the nations.
We pray for all members of the armed forces who strive for peace and fight for justice today; bless and keep their families and friends at home awaiting their return. Help us, who today remember the cost of war, to work for a better tomorrow, and bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
National anthem God Defend New Zealand
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
E Ihowā _Atua,
O ngā _iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō _atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
God of Nations at Thy feet,
in the bonds of love we meet,
hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific’s triple star
from the shafts of strife and war,
make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
Reading Atatürk’s message to bereaved pilgrims, 1934, read by Ecenur Bilgiç (14 years old) from Turkey
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
National anthem İstiklal Marşı (The Independence March)
Led by Burak Gülşen from Turkey, accompanied by the Massed Bands
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal…
Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
Fear not! For the crimson flag that flies at this dawn, shall not fade,
As long as the last fiery hearth that is ablaze in my country endures.
For that is the star of my nation, which will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely that of my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent!
Come smile upon my heroic race! Why this rage, this fury?
The blood we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.
Remembering Gallipoli a commemoration created by Michael McDermott
Music composed by Michael McDermott
Reading by James McDermott (17 years old) from the United Kingdom
The Attack at Dawn (May, 1915) by Leon Maxwell Gellert (1892–1977)
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
They told us in the early afternoon.
We sit and wait the coming of the sun
We sit in groups, — grey groups that watch the moon.
We stretch our legs and murmur half in sleep
And touch the tips of bayonets and yarn.
Our hands are cold. They strangely grope and creep,
Tugging at ends of straps. We wait the dawn!
Some men come stumbling past in single file.
And scrape the trench’s side and scatter sand.
They trip and curse and go. Perhaps we smile.
We wait the dawn! … The dawn is close at hand!
A gentle rustling runs along the line.
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
A hundred eyes are staring for the sign.
It’s coming! Look! … Our God’s own laughing sun!
Closing prayers by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
Eternal God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed;
Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all, the true love of peace
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the world,
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
and all people may spend their days in security, freedom and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Merciful God
we offer to you the fears in us
that have not yet been cast out by love:
may we accept the hope you have
placed in the hearts of all people,
and live lives of justice, courage and mercy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give is this day our daily bread.
And forgive is our trespasses,
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead is not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
fro ver and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest,
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people,
unity, peace and concord,
and to us and all God’s servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
National anthem God Save the Queen
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen.
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
They Are At Rest by Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934), sung by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral (unaccompanied)

This is from 1975. Lulu was one of my favourite singers so was great to see her in person. We are downsizing, so I’m going through all of my stuff and getting rid of some things but photographing them before I do. In the late 1980s we lived in London and our landlord was involved with the English National Opera so we were given free tickets to these wonderful events. The theatre programmes are the UK and Australia, mostly from the 1980s and 1990s.

Date opened 23 June 1973
Location Singapore
Land area 28 hectares
Number of animals 2530
Number of species 315
The Singapore Zoo (Chinese: ?????? ; Malay: 'Taman Haiwan Singapura'; Tamil: ??????????? ????????? ????????????), formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens and commonly known locally as the Mandai Zoo, occupies 28 hectares (0.28 km?) of land on the margins of Upper Seletar Reservoir within Singapore's heavily forested central catchment area. The zoo was built at a cost of S$9m granted by the government of Singapore and opened on 23 June 1973. It is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manage the neighbouring Night Safari and the Jurong BirdPark. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.4 million visitors a year.
From the beginning, Singapore Zoo followed the modern trend of displaying animals in naturalistic, 'open' exhibits, i.e. with hidden barriers, behind moats and shrubbery etc. It also houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world. In 1977, primatologist Dr Francine Neago lived inside a cage with eighteen orangutans for six months to study their behavior and communication.

History
Hamadryas baboons by a waterfall
The conception of the Singapore Zoo dates from 1969. At the time, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) decided to use some of its land holdings around reservoirs for parks and open recreational facilities. The then Executive Chairman of PUB, Dr Ong Swee Law, set aside 88 hectares of land for the construction of a zoological garden.
In 1970, consultants and staff were hired, and in 1971, the construction of the basic 50 enclosures started. Animals were collected from dealers and donated by sponsors. The Director of the Colombo Zoo in Sri Lanka, Lyn de Alwis, was hired as a special consultant to work out problems inherent in tropical zoos.
On 23 June 1973, the Singapore Zoo opened its gates for the first time with a collection of 270 animals from over 72 species, and a staff of 130. By 1990, 1,600 animals from more than 160 species lived in social groups, housed in 65 landscaped exhibits with boundaries conceived to look as natural as possible.
Present

Today, the zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. The moats are concealed with vegetation or dropped below the line of vision. In the case of dangerous animals which can climb very well, moat barriers are not used. Instead, these animals are housed in landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
The zoo has not expanded beyond the original 28 hectares. However, 40 hectares of secondary forest were later developed into the Night Safari. The remaining undeveloped land has been kept as wooded land. This and the waters of Upper Seletar Reservoir contribute to the Zoo, giving it a sense of natural, unrestricted space.
Among various attractions that the zoo offers,one highlight is the "Breakfast with an Orangutan" programme that allows visitors to meet and interact closely with the orangutans in the zoo, amongst which includes the famous primate matriarch Ah Meng, (died on February 8, 2008) who was an icon of the Singapore tourism industry. Animal shows, as well as token feedings coupled with live commentaries by keepers, are also the daily staple in the Singapore zoo.
Education and conservation
The Wildlife Healthcare & Research Centre was opened in March 2006 as part of the zoo's efforts in wildlife conservation. The centre further underscores Singapore Zoo and Night Safari’s commitment to conservation research, providing the infrastructure for the parks and overseas zoological partners to better execute their research programmes.
The zoo also embarked on various rescue and conservation efforts to protect wildlife.
Rides
White rhinos
The zoo also offers various modes of rides available within the premises: trams, animals, boat, pony and horse carriage rides. Additional modes of transportation which can only be rented include: strollers, wagon and wheelchairs.
Friends of the Zoo
The zoo also has a "friends of the zoo" programme, where people can sign up for a yearly pass which grants them special privileges such as:
* Free and unlimited entry to Singapore Zoo for whole year
* Free Zoo tram rides and parking
* A free quarterly "Wildlife wonders" magazine
* 10% discount at some participating retail outlets
Organizing events

A 14 year-long war destroyed most of the basic infrastructures in Liberia including the water system. 10 years after the war ended, services are still not restored and ECHO partners are bringing safe drinking water and sanitation facilities to the capital's booming population. ECHO funding for these programmes is ending in 2013 as development donors take over.
