Reading a review of Let’s Make an Opera from the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate 1952 provides a great insight into the performance. The cast consisted of five adults and hundreds of school children which was something of a challenge for the conductor Eric Starling who, ‘sometimes had to act as school teacher as well as conductor to enlist full co-operation from them’.
The play consisted of two parts, the preparation of the opera and its dress rehearsal followed by the actual opera. Audience involvement in the performance was also expected. ‘Owls, herons, turtle-doves and chaffinches will carol together when Newcastle audiences take their part in ‘Let’s Make an Opera”.

The Marine Species Population Index provides an assessment of the average changeover time in the populations of 217 species of marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. The index represents the average value of six regional ocean indices. More pronounced declines are seen in the southern oceans, attributed to the fact that major losses and degradation of marine ecosystems in the industrialized world took place prior to 1970. Marine species are generally more difficult to monitor than terrestrial ones. Assessments are therefore based primarily on fishery catches, and the monitoring of land breeding species (e.g. turtles, birds and seals). However, these species are over-represented in the index, which should have a far greater proportion of invertebrate species.

Le Hellfest, également appelé Hellfest Summer Open Air, est un festival de musique français spécialisé dans les musiques extrêmes, annuellement organisé au mois de juin à Clisson en Loire-Atlantique.

The Bedford Music Hall
The Bedford Music Hall
The Bedford Music Hall
By Barton Young
Gone that London a lad could hang
off a horse-dragged tram
that swam past public houses raucous warm with gin and brag
where piannas barrelled the songs they sang
in the stalls of the Bedford,
best music ‘all this side of the water.
Sink into a sixpence seat. The orchestra’s tuning up.
Fam’lies unwrap jam sarnies in the cheap seats.
First the bottom-billers: bar-benders, mind-readers, Wally White
‘s Wonder Dog. Backstage a comic lights a gasper off a lamp, eyes
The Charming Sisters Kelly in their candle-coloured
costumes, a tightrope walker doing pliés.
The vent chucks down a whiskey, tells the dummy for the nerves.
Out front a tenor coaxes a popular air;
a wit provides ‘song of my own composing,’
an English rose trills the young men to the trenches
singing all the boys in khaki get the nice girls.
Then a flintvoiced queenie chips the edges off a tune
she knows you know the chorus to.
They’ll all be in the wings at the bill’s top:
Up in the dressing room the full house roars
like an eager sea beneath her; the biggest of her day
sees her face in the mirror, will descend
to distil the Cockney crowd
into pure memory.
For a while in the thirties the hook came for the lot of 'em
and a silver screen shone above
the boards they’d trod by gaslight.
Hollywood shadow in the back row the belters
had flung their high notes at.
Then it was a theatre again.
Shabby Shakespeare stared up at
from tatty crimson plush.
Forgotten revues. Empty seats. Then rats and tramps.
My father saw it pulled down.
Stood across the street with long hair and no job
he saw this comatose building
chucked into the gutter face first.
A wrecking ball raised the roof off the place
and modern day gawped inside,
casting its grey spotlight
on the gods and all below, where
from the bellies of ghosts
the stage-led singsong and honest laughter
that glowed in the derelict dark
those years the Bedford slept off the past
(like aging turns in digs on iron beds)
died in the daylight of Camden High Street, 1969,
and all that England gone
before I ever got to see it.

We can probably thank the late Gerry Fiennes for the purchase of the Deltics, or as he put it "the policy of building diesels of around 2000hp lies in ruins around us, nothing less than well over 3000hp under the bonnet will do". Certainly the various Type 4 designs were not really any great advance in on-rail performance over a Pacific in reasonable shape, at the time the Deltic was the only locomotive which could advance on this, a machine that could reach and maintain 100mph (and more in reality) where the rest could only struggle to 90mph or less. We will certainly never see anything like them again.
The ‘Crecer Bien’ programme in Peru was developed to help tackle chronic malnutrition and the growing trend towards obesity among peruvian children.
The focus of the programme was on improving the quality of life of children aged 3 - 8, giving teachers and parents the knowledge and tools to promote healthy habits in children with regards to nutrition and hygiene and help them to ‘Grow Well’.

Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.
Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The Queen
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:
"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.
Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.
The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.
She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.
Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'
Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.
Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.
Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.
His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.
Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.
'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'
While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.
As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.
The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.
They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.
'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "

The Blancpain Race Series held on the Silverstone Arena Grand Prix circuit on Sunday 2nd June
The early Sunday morning start for the Blancpain Endurance series qualifying session was greeted by blue skies, bright sunshine but chilly temperatures which are nearly always present as Silverstone seems to have its own weather system, not connected to the rest of the country. At least no rain is forecast.
Once into the venue, there didn't seem to be any race programmes on sale. This is going to make following the track action particularly difficult in a multi-driver endurance race. There were very few grandstands open and a very sparse crowd in attendance. All this this is a bit of a shame for such a prestigious Europeon series with a top quality line up.
The qualifying session was split into three 15-minute sessions, with the single best time in any session counting for pole. The massive field is split into three groups, the PRO category, the PRO-AM category and the Gentleman Drivers category.
Altogether there were 58-GT3 supercars entered for the event, made up of a mixture of exotic examples of various supercar GT models including the Aston Martin Vantage, Audi R8 LMS Ultra, Nissan GT-R, BMW Z4, Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini LP560-4, Mercedes SLS AMG and the ever present Porsche 997.
A number of familiar names had entered from the world on sportcar racing and a number of the cars had been seen in various other events this season already, from the British GT, WEC and the main GT series.
The performance balancing of the GT3 format always produces close, exciting racings. This along with the huge field of experienced drivers should make for an excellent three-hour race later this afternoon.
After the spectacular GT supercars, the next cars out on track were the very underwhelming return of Renault 2.0 to the UK. This series was the North European championship. I always used to enjoy the Renault UK 2.0 championship when it was part of the TOCA British Touring Car package. The single seaters broke up the procession of tin top cars during the day and the racing was always full on and viewed as a stepping stone up to Formula 3. Unfortunately putting this junior formula on directly after the big booming GT cars on the full Grand Prix circuit made them look very junior indeed and they did take an awful long time to come round on each lap.
Next up were the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series for the Gentleman Drivers (very rich men) consisting of a glorious field of identical race prepared Gallardo LP570-4s. As a special one off, Adrian Newey was in the no1 VIP car but....unfortunately he span and crashed into a concrete barrier on the formation lap whilst warming his tyres a bit too enthusiastically. His car was far too damaged to be included in the start.
Shortly into the start of the race, one of the cars crashed very heavily on the Wellington Straight, the car had speared off to the right of the track and through the bottom two sections of the Armco barrier. This left parts of Lamborghini liberally spread across the track which resulted in a safety car period. This then developed into a full race stoppage whilst a temporary concrete barrier was brought into place to seal up the gap in the barrier. After a lengthily delay, which turned into the lunch break, the truncated race continued with Andrea Amici eventually taking the victory.
Whereas next should have been the lunchbreak and a chance to wander around the pit and paddock area in the warm sunshine, out of the continuous chilly breeze. Due to the long stoppage during the Lamborghini event, the second of the weekend's Auto GP races start almost immeadiately. I believe that the Auto GP cars have developed from the old Italian F3000 series. The current cars, powered by V8 3.4 litre engines producing 550 bhp, are certainly very fast and loud. The mandatory pitstop adds drama to what could be a fairly mundane processional affair.
The series has attracted a few big names, Narain Karthikeyan, the Indian ex-Formula One driver who had already won the first race of the weekend and Briton's Luciano Bacheta the 2012 champion of the now defunct Formula Two series was also on the grid with a number of other F2 refugees.
The 13-lap race was won by Kimiya Sato, who had started in third and made his way to the front. The Auto GP cars were able to lap the full GP circuit in an impressive 1:47, which made them by far the quickest cars here this weekend.
The main event of the weekend, the Blancpain Endurance Series three-hour race, was due off at 2:45pm. It took best part of half an hour for the huge field of 57 starters to form up on the grid. The double line of supercars extended back all the way passed Woodcote.
Once the grid was finally cleared of the hundreds of people who had amassed around the cars, they were off in a blaze of noise on their green flag lap behind the pace car. Three minutes elapsed before they came back into sight at the end of the Wellington Straight. Forming back up into a neat two by two format as they trundled around the last couple of corners. Dropping back from the pace car as he ducked into the pits, the two front row cars, the Aston Martin and the Nissan GT-R, waited and waited and then go go go. What a sight, as a continuous wave of the best GT cars in Europe, hit the gas and accelerated down the National Straight and around Copse Corner. A testament to the quality of the field, is that this huge field could all safety negotiate the first corner without incident.
For most, the race would be split up into three parts. Each of the cars could go at least 60-minutes on one tank of fuel. Darren Turner took the first stint in the no 97 Aston Martin Vantage and spent the first few laps jinking it out with the Nissan GT-R.
As the race settled down, the Aston Martin looked the strongest entry, closely followed by a gaggle of Audi R8s. After 3-hours 1-minutes 36. (very appropriately) 007- seconds the final result was
1st - 97 - Aston Martin Vantage driven by Turner/Makowiecki/Mucke
2nd - 1 - Audi R8 LMS driven by Ortelli/Vanthoor/Rast
3rd - 13 - Audi R8 LMS driven by Strippler/Sandstrom/Mies
One strange point from the day was the disappearance of the grandstand behind the banked terrace area at the Luffield complex. I'm sure there was one there last time I was here. Maybe the F1 Grand Prix tickets aren't selling as well this year.
The unusual design of the west gable was conceived purely as a display for sculpture as the culmination of the 13th century facade. However the programme of sculpture originally remained unfinished for two centuries until the row of apostles and smaller angel figures beneath were installed in the 15th century. Sadly the carving and quality of the stone was of inferior quality to the 13th century work and the figures have weathered badly as a result. The topmost three niches were likely originally filled in the 13th century but only the lower half of the central Christ figure survived and was copied when new sculptures by David Wynne were created in 1985.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. Happily it now at last appears to be reopening after the long hiatus of lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

By bringing water to people water resellers extend the coverage of piped water and provide a service with important benefits for households - but at a price. That price rises with distance from the utility, as defined by the number of intermediaries between the network and the end consumer. Having a regular supply of clean water piped into the household is the optimal type of provision for human development. Experience suggests that households with water delivered through one tap on a plot (or within 100 metres) typically use about 50 litres of water a day, rising to 100 litres or more for households with multiple taps. Household connections to a utility offer financial benefits. In unit price terms, utility water is by far the lowest cost option. Because of economies of scale once the network is in place, the marginal cost of delivering each additional unit of water falls sharply. Subsidies are another important price-reducing mechanism: utilities are usually the gatekeeper for a wide range of direct and indirect subsidies that keep the price of water well below cost. Every step removed from the household tap adds to the price. Water vendors often act as a link between unconnected households and the utility. In some cases water is purchased from the utility and sold on to households, as in the case of private standpipe operators. In other cases water is purchased from the utility and sold to intermediaries, who in turn sell to households. As water passes through the marketing chain, prices increase. Water delivered through vendors and carters is often 10–20 times more costly than water provided through a utility. In Barranquilla, Colombia, the average price of water is $0.55 per m 3 from the utility and $5.50 per m 3 from truckers. Similarly, in the slums of Accra and Nairobi people buying water from vendors typically spend eight times as much per litre as households with piped water supplied by utilities.

“Pink Champagne” was performed by the students of the Maitland Music Class. Prior to the 1955 flood a room above the Library had been allocated for evening classes equipped with the latest mod cons such as a “high fidelity radiogram, records, chairs, a coffee perculator and like essentials for a chatty and educational evening”.
Evening college classes were introduced by the Department of Education in 1945 and provided adults with an opportunity to gain a free education in “subjects which will occupy its ever-increasing leisure hours”.
“Pink Champagne” is an adaptation of Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss from the Vienna production of 1874.

“The Boy Friend” a romantic musical set in the French Riviera during the 1920s was first performed in 1953 in London and ran for an incredible 2000 performances making it the third longest running musical in West End or Broadway history, albeit for a short time. The 1954 season of The Boy Friend was also the 19-year-old Julie Andrews debut American performance, to be followed by My Fair Lady in 1956.
In Aug 1939 an article in the Maitland Mercury read that “Mr Colin Chapman well know-baritone, will open an academy of voice culture, singing and dramatic art at studios on the premises of McDonald Bros. Stationers High Street on Sept 6th”. A singer, teacher, producer, playwright and conductor, Colin Chapman founder of the Maitland Dramatic Art Club was a successful singer who won the Operatic Championship in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod in 1935 and 1936.
