A question from a Flickr friend about this bridge prompted me to post this shot. It is my understanding that people could walk on it for some time after the trains had ceased to cross it. It has since been deemed unsafe for people to walk on it.
This also shows more details of the "Roche de Boeuf" rock.
Here is a history tidbit I posted previously (from waterville.org):
Waterville residents were excited when the Lima-Toledo Traction Company announced in 1907 that an interurban line through the village was being planned with cars expecting to reach Toledo in the miraculous time of 20 minutes. Grandest of all was the news that the longest reinforced concrete railroad bridge in the world would be built at the historic site of the Roche de Boeuf, an outcropping of rock in the Maumee River just south of the village where native Americans were said to have gathered in earlier times. For the next 30 years the red interurban cars raced across the bridge, one of the cars actually winning a race against an airplane in 1930, rocketing along at nearly 100 miles an hour. The railway line went out of business in 1937, but the decaying old bridge remains standing today as a testament to engineering history.

Non tutto ciò che è digitale è online, quindi perché è così difficile per l’industria giornalistica (specialmente nel Medio Oriente) capire che non tutto quello che è online è digitale? Quello che sta accadendo attualmente è una digitalizzazione della carta stampata, alla quale si accompagna una digitalizzazione dei modelli di business e di proprietà delle testate. Ma tutto questo non funziona più. Le regole di internet non lo permettono. Il fenomeno del clickbait è semplicemente il risultato naturale della nostra pigrizia collettiva nei confronti di questo mezzo. Avete bisogno di traffico per avere pubblicità, di inserzioni per fare soldi, di soldi per pagare i vostri giornalisti. Se il vostro tipo di giornalismo non è abbastanza eccitante, abbastanza interessante o persino non abbastanza sexy per ottenere il traffico di cui hai bisogno, la soluzione non sta nel livellarvi verso il basso e cambiare il vostro modo di fare giornalismo. La soluzione sta nel cambiare il vostro approccio verso il mezzo, non verso il messaggio. Il digitale ci può aiutare a mettere a nudo il giornalismo, privandolo di tutte le connotazioni relative al mezzo precedente e riportandolo al suo nucleo; un valore aggiunto. Il giornalismo non sono le notizie; il giornalismo è mettere quelle notizie in un contesto, spiegandolo. Il mezzo digitale vi permette di esplorare questioni più complesse con il vostro pubblico, di trovare modalità innovative e coinvolgenti per condividere tali questioni con il vostro audience. Fate una ricerca giornalistica approfondita, e poi pensate a come presentarla al meglio. Ciò implicherà anche una revisione di come definiamo i giornalisti, per non parlare della nozione che i giornalisti abbiano bisogno di una byline e di limiti di parole. Un’integrazione fra giornalisti e artisti che porterà a un nuovo ibrido di pensatori digitali, che possono fare ricerca, intervistare, citare, programmare e creare.
Not everything that’s digital is online, so why is it so hard for the journalism industry (especially in the Middle East) to realise that not everything that’s online is digital.

Yarm Town Hall.
Pevsner writes "This is of 1710, brick, only two bays, with a hipped roof and square lantern. The ground floor of course was originally open."
Yarm War Memorial
"The question of a war memorial for Yarm was first discussed at a Parish Council meeting held on 5 February 1919. Councillor George Campbell, who just a month before had heard of the death of his only son on active service, chaired the meeting. It was resolved to call a public meeting for Wednesday 19 February in the Council School to consider what should be done.
At the public meeting Mr Hedley stated that he understood Mr J R Clapham had offered to build a new Town Hall as a War Memorial if it could be erected on the site of the existing structure. Mr Fawcett, on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, Mr Meynell, confirmed that there would be no objection to this scheme. After some further discussion it was agreed by 47 votes to 5 that the offer be accepted. At the same time a memorial committee was duly elected consisting of Messrs Clapham, Holt, Hedley, Campbell, Adamson, Fawcett and Whitwell.
By mid-April plans for the new Town Hall were ready for submission to Stokesley Council. However, a reaction set in against demolishing the historic Town Hall. This is evidenced by the comments of the Vicar of Egglescliffe in the Parish Magazine for April 1919:
Some of Yarms neighbours trust that their war memorial will find a shape that will not destroy a building which gives character to its street and is in harmony with its surroundings.
On 4 June 1919 a letter was read to the Parish Council stating that Mr Clapham had withdrawn his offer of the new Town Hall and the scheme proceeded no further. It was agreed to thank Mr Clapham for his offer and to ask him if he could suggest any other ideas. It was ultimately agreed that he would give to the community the open space at the top of Bentley Wynd known as Snaithsfield.
In the same month the new Rector of Yarm, the Rev Barnsley, was writing in the Parish Magazine that :
a fitting memorial should be erected this memorial should most fittingly take the form of a cross. A dignified and stately cross erected in a central position and built of warm red stone.
In view of the ultimate result it is clear that the Rector must have played an important part in the move for a memorial cross. In October 1919 Capt H T Fawcett MC presided over a meeting where it was decided to place a contract for a memorial to be erected on a site at the south end of the Town Hall with a Mr Seymour. The cost was to be £265 10s. 6d.
Within a few months the work was complete. There then stood by the Town Hall a tall octagonal double-cross of red scotch stone with the full names and ranks of the dead carved around the base, together with the words They are crowned with the garland of immortality.
At 1500 hours on Saturday, 12 June 1920 the memorial was unveiled by Sir Hugh Bell, Lord Lieutenant of the North Riding. The ceremony was attended by most of the town' inhabitants and presided over my Mr E R Whitwell. It began with the singing of the hymn Through the night of doubt and sorrow. Then the Methodist minister of Yarm from 1919 to 1922, the Rev James W Trevvett, offered a prayer with Rev Barnsley afterwards reading a short passage from Scripture. Mr Whitwell then said that he wished to convey to the relatives of the fallen the sympathy of the whole community. After reading the roll of ho nour the Rev Barnsley led those present in the following prayer: With bowed heads and grateful hearts we salute our glorious dead; may they rest in peace; may their memory never fade. Buglers of the 1st Thornaby Scouts then sounded the Last Post.
Before unveiling the memorial Sir Hugh remarked that:
When twenty years ago Yarm put up a simple memorial to those who went to serve their country in South Africa they little thought that within a generation they would be assembled to unveil a monument of a much deeper significance. The two things, however, are naturally connected together in ones mind and those who look at the history of the past half century, for instance, would see that the struggle in South Africa was in fact but a prelude to that much greater struggle which the early years of this century were to bring up. It seems very appropriate that the people of Yarm should erect in front of the South African War tablet on the Town Hall a cross commemorating the much greater service and more strenuous effort which the country was called upon to make from August 1914 to November 1918.
Rightly looked upon you should all regard this as a pleasurable occasion although the pleasure is of a sober and temperate kind, but none the less it is a pleasure to commemorate the great deeds of those whose services we are here to recognise. To me personally it was a great pleasure that those who had conduct of the proceedings had been kind enough to invite me in my capacity of Lieutenant of the Riding to take a prominent part in the ceremony.
When the war broke out, for a moment, but only for a moment I doubted whether the people of this country would understand what the issues were which were presented for the arbitrament of the sword. But it did not take long to make it clear to me that my fellow countrymen understood, as well at least, as I did, what was at issue. I think we can define that now without any doubt or hesitation. We stood in the first place for our own personal freedom in this country, we stood to protect ourselves from those horrors of warfare which, thank Heaven, this country knows but by repute, never for generations there having been a hostile invader on these shores. We stood however, for more than that we stood for the freedom of the world. In the bitter months that passed from 1914 until 1918 as the struggle swayed back and forth many of us were in terror lest that for which we stood should go under. Again I say, thank Heaven that sad fate did not befall us, and we came through victorious, having attained the end for which we set out.
I congratulate the people of Yarm on the fact that 350 our of the 1500 inhabitants generally every one of the adult males had contributed to the £240 raised to erect the cross. Through them I offer the architect my congratulations upon the way in which he has carried out his commission. I would also like to congratulate the architect and I hope that I might say thankyou on behalf of the people of Yarm for the assiduousness he has shown in perfecting his design.
In conclusion I was desired to convey to the gathering the congratulations of a body of persons who preserve a tender recollection of the kindness which they received at the hands of the inhabitants of Yarm. I refer to the Belgian refugees who you entertained in their hour of trouble. They have communicated with the committee and desire their thanks and congratulations be specially accorded to the inhabitants. I am glad to be the mouthpiece to convey to the people of Yarm that recognition of kind ly services rendered to the Belgians.
Then, drawing aside the Union Jack which covered the base of the memorial Sir Hugh said: I present on behalf of the subscribers to the inhabitants of Yarm and to their successors as long as this cross shall stand, a memorial of the Great War to the memory of our glorious dead and the Great War of 1914-1919.
Following the singing of the hymn On the resurrection morning the Reveille was sounded by ex-Bugler Hill of the 4th Yorkshire Regiment and the ceremony finished with the singing of the National Anthem and the laying of wreaths.
After the service the Rector, writing in the Parish Magazine commented that he felt
The ceremony of unveiling suffered from the shortness of the notice which preceded it. I should ha ve preferred it to have been a full military affair as certainly did the Lord Lieutenant.
The townspeople generally took greater issue over the double-headed cross design and therefore soon after the unveiling the cross was replaced by the one seen today.
During the early part of 1925 and again in 1930 complaints were received by the Parish Council about the bad condition of the memorial. These complaints were drawn to the attention of the memorial committee but on the last occasion to no apparent effect. Therefore, at the Parish Council meeting of 8 May 1930 it was resolved that the Council would take over the upkeep and general wellbeing of the memorial without responsibility for its design or situation.
After the Second World War the then Rector, the Rev C H B Barker, decided that there should be a tablet erected in the Church commemorating the dead of both wars. During 1948 he began collecting information and later an oak tablet was fixed to the west wall bearing the names of the dead painted on in gold. The tablet had been designed and executed by Ralph Hedley of Newcastle and was dedicated and unveiled by the Bishop of Whitby on 20 September 1952. The related service was conducted by the Rev Barker supported by the Rev Yates-Moore of Egglescliffe and Mr Hunter-Garbutt, a lay reader in Yarm.
In November 1961 the Rev Barker wrote to the Parish Council that
He then asked the Council if they could do anything to rectify these matters. Spurred on by this request the Council, at its meeting on 14 February 1962, accepted a tender from William Arrowsmith & Son, Monumental Sculptors of Redcar in the sum of £205 for cleaning the memorial and carving the names onto Broughton Moor Green Slate. The work was carried out by June.
It is not known how the names for the two wars were compiled. However it is clear that in the case of the First World War in particular there are a number of errors. Not only were names misspelt or wrong Christian names used but in several cases persons were recorded who had no connection with Yarm when they enlisted while others, deserving of some memorial in the town, were completely overlooked."! northeastengland.wix.com/yarm-on-tees/apps/blog
Many of the members had never been to The Pointe before and had several questions pertaining to Supportive Living.
"Teaching the answers without first raising the questions takes most of the meaning out of education". Absolutely!!
I believe, this is how education is approached in our public schools, unfortunately! I believe so since most freshmen students, who went to Kuwaiti public schools and some private schools, arrive in Kuwait University without knowing how to adapt to the new learning environment or to the change in the level of education!
They were well-trained to be dependent learners, "obedient" to their teachers, in the sense that they shouldn't disagree with them since they (the teachers) are the "knowers"! The students are trained to be the "receivers" and never "senders"!
That is, no interaction or discussion are allowed in class since the teachers (the "always" Sage on the Stage style teachers) are focusing on "teaching the answers without first raising the questions" and this what "takes most of the meaning out of education" process.

Former County Hall, Denbigh
Denbigh Library occupies the former County Hall, which was also a courthouse and town hall. It was built c.1572 and enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, asked the Bishop of St Asaph to organise the hall’s construction. Dudley (1532-1588) was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and may have been her lover. She made him Baron Denbigh in 1564. It’s thought the hall stands on land he donated.
Gwen ferch Elis, a weaver and herbal healer, was found guilty of witchcraft here in 1594. She was questioned by the Bishop of St Asaph before a tribunal at Glan Conwy church concluded she was a witch and sent her for trial in Denbigh, where she was hanged in the town square.
Originally the ground floor was a market space. Above was the courtroom. The Victorians installed police cells for prisoners waiting to enter the courtroom, used by the county court (for civil disputes) and sometimes the quarter sessions (a precursor of today’s crown courts). The county council met here.
In December 1858, former slave James Watkins gave a lecture at the town hall. He was born c.1821 in Maryland, USA (he couldn’t be sure of the year). He escaped to freedom as a young man, and fled to England when American legislation in 1850 required the return of all fugitive slaves to their owners, even from states where slavery was outlawed.
While living in the Manchester area he published books about his experiences. His talks described the cruelty suffered by American slaves and by “free coloured people”, including the torment of slave mothers whose children were taken away. He returned to the USA after slavery was abolished in 1865.
Arrangements were made in 1868 for new gas lighting for the town hall’s clock, replacing a lamp which partially obscured the clock face. In March 1896 a local newspaper complained that the clock was unreliable, leading to townspeople arriving at the wrong times at the railway station, church and post office. It had recently been eight minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time!
A portrait of Dr Evan Pierce, a popular surgeon and physician, sparked a dispute here in 1882. The portrait was meant for the council chamber but was too big. Instead it was hung in the courtroom, but that contravened a ban on pictures in courts.
Denbigh's new town hall opened nearby in 1917.
Denbigh is a market town and a community in Denbighshire, Wales. Formerly the county town of the historic county of Denbighshire until 1888, Denbigh's Welsh name (Dinbych) translates to "Little Fortress"; a reference to its historic castle. Denbigh lies near the Clwydian Hills.
Denbigh Castle, together with its town walls, was built in 1282 (742 years ago) by order of King Edward I. The Burgess Gate, whose twin towers adorn the symbol on Denbigh's civic seal, was once the main entrance into the town. The first borough charter was granted to Denbigh in 1290, when the town was still contained within the old town walls. It was the centre of the Marcher Lordship of Denbigh. The town was involved in the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294–1295; the castle was captured in the autumn and, on 11 November 1294, a relieving force was defeated by the Welsh rebels. The town was recaptured by Edward I in December. Denbigh was also burnt in 1400 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr.
During the Wars of the Roses (1455–1487), the town was largely destroyed, subsequently moving from the hilltop to the area of the present town market.
Leicester's Church is an unfinished church. In 1579, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who was also Baron of Denbigh, planned for there to be a cathedral. His intention was to move the status of city from neighbouring St Asaph. The project ran out of money and, when Robert Dudley died, it was left as ruins; it is now in the care of Cadw.
In 1643, during the English Civil War, Denbigh became a refuge for a Royalist garrison. Surrendering in 1646, the castle and town walls eventually fell into ruin.
The town grew around the textile industry in the 1600s, hosting specialist glovers, weavers, smiths, shoemakers, saddlers, furriers and tanners. Denbigh has been an important location for the agricultural industry throughout its history.
Denbigh railway station once served the town on the former London and North Western Railway, later part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
It was a junction for the Vale of Clwyd Railway line, which lead north to St Asaph and Rhyl, and the Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway. The former was closed in 1955, leaving Denbigh on a lengthy branch running from Chester to Ruthin, via Mold, which subsequently closed in 1962. A southern continuation beyond Ruthin, linking up with the Great Western Railway at Corwen, had closed in 1952.
The station site has been redeveloped since into a small retail park; however, remains of a platform can still be seen beside the road leading to the Home Bargains store, Aldi Supermarket and two charity shops.
At one time, the majority of the population sought employment at the North Wales Hospital, which, dating back to the 1840s, cared for people with psychiatric illnesses. The hospital closed in 1995 and has since fallen into disrepair. In October 2008, a special series of episodes of Most Haunted, titled Village of the Damned, was broadcast from the North Wales Hospital over 7 days. As of October 2018, the derelict building has passed into the ownership of Denbighshire County Council.
Denbigh had a town cinema on Love Lane. It opened as the Scala in 1928, before being re-branded as the Wedgwood Cinema in the late 1970s. It closed in October 1980, then reopened by Lewis Colwell in 1982 and renamed the Futura Cinema. The cinema closed again in the 1990s, but the building remained open as a video rental store. In 1995, Peter Moore reopened the cinema for a short period before being arrested and convicted of the murder of four men. The video rental store closed and the building is now in ruin awaiting redevelopment. Denbigh has no permanent cinema, though Denbigh Film Club regularly operates in Theatr Twm o'r Nant.
The population at the 2001 Census was 8,783,[10] increasing to 8,986 in the 2011 census., reducing in the 2021 census to 8,669.
Attractions in the town include Denbigh Library, Denbigh Castle and the castle walls, Cae Dai 1950s museum, Theatr Twm o'r Nant, medieval parish church St Marcella's, and a small shopping complex. Denbigh Boxing Club is located on Middle Lane. Denbigh Community Hospital was established in 1807. Denbigh Town Hall is a Grade II* listed building.
Denbigh Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Wales having been established in 1844. The club plays at the Ystrad Road ground and plays in the North Wales Cricket League. The 1st XI play in the Premier Division having won the Division 1 championship in 2010 with the 2nd XI in Division 3.
For over 50 years, a barrel rolling competition has been held on Boxing Day in the town square.
There are a number of places to stay in Denbigh, including Tyn Yr Eithin, a caravan, camping, and glamping site based on the edge of the town which has been hosting tourists since 1986.
There are three secondary schools located in Denbigh. Denbigh High School is the larger of the two, consisting of nearly 600 pupils and approximately 60 staff. The current headmaster is Glen Williams.
St Brigid's is a Catholic voluntary aided school on Mold Road on the outskirts of the town which caters for pupils between the ages of 3 – 19. There is a strict admissions policy and until 2009 the school only accepted girls. The schools current headteacher is Leah Crimes.
Myddleton College is the former Howell's Preparatory School and is an independent co-educational day and boarding school.
All 3 of these High Schools in Denbigh, along with Ysgol Brynhyfryd (Ruthin), Ysgol Glan Clwyd (St Asaph), Denbigh College, and Llysfasi College (Deeside) have joined to offer a combined 6th form under the title 'The Dyffryn Clwyd Consortium'.
Crest Mawr Wood (alt. - Crêst) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest to the north west, adjoining Denbigh Golf Club and the Tarmac Quarry, an historic and ancient deciduous woodland. This woodland is endangered due to environmental pressure and competing land use in the area.
Denbigh hosted the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 1882, 1939, 2001 and 2013.

Denbighshire is a county in the north-east of Wales. It borders the Irish Sea to the north, Flintshire to the east, Wrexham to the southeast, Powys to the south, and Gwynedd and Conwy to the west. Rhyl is the largest town, and Ruthin is the administrative centre. Its borders differ from the historic county of the same name.
Denbighshire has an area of 326 square miles (840 km2) and a population of 95,800, making it sparsely populated. The most populous area is the coast, where Rhyl (25,149) and Prestatyn (19,085) form a single built-up area with a population of 46,267. The next-largest towns are Denbigh (8,986), Ruthin (5,461), and Rhuddlan (3,709). St Asaph (3,355) is a city. All of these settlements are in the northern half of the county; the south is even less densely populated, and the only towns are Corwen (2,325) and Llangollen (3,658).
The geography of Denbighshire is defined by the broad valley of the River Clwyd, which is surrounded by rolling hills on all sides except the north, where it reaches the coast. The Vale of Clwyd, the lower valley, is given over to crops, while cattle and sheep graze the uplands. The Clwydian Range in the east is part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This part of Wales contains the country's oldest known evidence of habitation – Pontnewydd (Bontnewydd-Llanelwy) Palaeolithic site has Neanderthal remains of some 225,000 years ago. The county is also home to several medieval castles, including Castell Dinas Brân, Denbigh, and Rhuddlan, as well as St Asaph Cathedral. Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod takes place in the town each July.
The main area was formed on 1 April 1996 under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, from various parts of the county of Clwyd. It includes the district of Rhuddlan (formed in 1974 entirely from Flintshire), the communities of Trefnant and Cefn Meiriadog from the district of Colwyn (entirely Denbighshire) and most of the Glyndŵr district. The last includes the former Edeyrnion Rural District, part of the administrative county of Merionethshire before 1974, covering the parishes of Betws Gwerfil Goch, Corwen, Gwyddelwern, Llangar, Llandrillo yn Edeirnion and Llansanffraid.
Other principal areas including part of historical Denbighshire are Conwy, which picked up the remainder of 1974–1996 Colwyn, the Denbighshire parts of 1974–1996 Aberconwy, and Wrexham, which corresponds to the pre-1974 borough of Wrexham along with most of Wrexham Rural District and several parishes of Glyndŵr. Post-1996 Powys includes the historically Denbighshire parishes of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Llansilin and Llangedwyn, which formed part of Glyndŵr district.
Researchers have found signs that Denbighshire was inhabited at least 225,000 years ago. Bontnewydd Palaeolithic site is one of the most significant in Britain. Hominid remains of probable Neanderthals have been found, along with stone tools from the later Middle Pleistocene.
In 2021 February, archaeologists from Aeon Archaeology announced a discovery of over 300 Stone Age tools and artifacts in Rhuddlan. They revealed scrapers, microliths, flakes of chert (a hard, fine-grained, sedimentary rock composed of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz), flints and other rudimentary tools. An expert, Richard Cooke, believes the lithic remains belonged to ancient peoples, who while passing through the area, made camp by the river more than 9,000 years ago.
The eastern edge of Denbighshire follows the ridge of the Clwydian Range, with a steep escarpment to the west and a high point at Moel Famau (1,820 ft (555 m)), which with the upper Dee Valley forms an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley – one of just five in the Wales. The Denbigh Moors (Mynydd Hiraethog) are in the west of the county and the Berwyn Range adjacent to the southern edge. The River Clwyd has a broad fertile Vale running from south–north in the centre of the county. There is a narrow coastal plain in the north which much residential and holiday-trade development. The highest point in the historic county was Cadair Berwyn at 832 m or 2,730 ft), but the boundary changes since 1974 make Cadair Berwyn North Top the highest point. Denbighshire borders the present-day principal areas of Gwynedd, Conwy County Borough, Flintshire, Wrexham County Borough, and Powys.
Rhyl and Prestatyn form a single built-up area in the north of the county, with a population of 46,267. They are immediately adjacent to the Kinmel Bay and Abergele built-up area in neighbouring Conwy, and at the eastern end of series of coastal resorts which that also includes Colwyn Bay and Llandudno further west.
According to the 2021 United Kingdom census, Denbighshire's population was approximately 95,800. According to previous censuses, the population of Denbighshire was 93,734 in 2011 and 93,065 in 2001. The largest towns on the coast are Rhyl (2001 population c. 25,000) and Prestatyn (2001 population c. 18,000). According to the 2011 Census returns, 24.6 per cent stated they could speak Welsh.
Since the 20th-century demise of the coal and steel industries in the Wrexham area, there is no heavy industry in the county. Although most towns have small industrial parks or estates for light industry, the economy is based on agriculture and tourism. Much of the working population is employed in the service sector. The uplands support sheep and beef cattle rearing, while in the Vale of Clwyd dairy farming and wheat and barley crops predominate. Many towns have livestock markets and farming supports farm machinery merchants, vets, feed merchants, contractors and other ancillaries. With their incomes on the decline, farmers have found opportunities in tourism, rural crafts, specialist food shops, farmers' markets and value-added food products.
The upland areas with their sheep farms and small, stone-walled fields are attractive to visitors. Redundant farm buildings are often converted into self-catering accommodation, while many farmhouses supply bed and breakfast. The travel trade began with the arrival of the coast railway in the mid-19th century, opening up the area to Merseyside. This led to a boom in seaside guest houses. More recently, caravan sites and holiday villages have thrived and ownership of holiday homes increased. Initiatives to boost the economy of North Wales continue, including redevelopment of the Rhyl seafront and funfair.
The North Wales Coast Line running from Crewe to Holyhead is served by Transport for Wales and Avanti West Coast services. Trains leaving Crewe to pass through Chester, cross the River Dee into Wales, and continue through Flint, Shotton, Holywell Junction (closed in 1966), Prestatyn, Rhyl, and stations to Bangor and Holyhead, which has a ferry service to Ireland.
There are no motorways in Denbighshire. The A55 dual carriageway runs from Chester through St Asaph to the North Wales coast at Abergele, then parallel to the railway through Conwy and Bangor to Holyhead. The A548 run from Chester to Abergele through Deeside and along the coast, before leaving the coast and terminating at Llanrwst. The main road from London, the A5, passes north-westwards through Llangollen, Corwen and Betws-y-Coed to join the A55 and terminate at Bangor. The A543 crosses the Denbigh Moors from south-east to north-west, and the A525 links Ruthin with St Asaph.
There are local bus services between the main towns. Several services by Arriva Buses Wales run along the main coast road between Chester and Holyhead, linking the coastal resorts. Another route links Rhyl to Denbigh.
Denbighshire is represented in the House of Commons by three MPs. The Welsh Labour Party lost to the Welsh Conservatives in the 2019 general election for the first time.
The following MPs were elected from Denbighshire in 2019:
Simon Baynes (Welsh Conservatives) in Clwyd South, first elected in 2019.
David Jones (Welsh Conservatives) in Clwyd West, first elected in 2005.
James Davies (Welsh Conservatives) in Vale of Clwyd, first elected in 2019.
Denbighshire is also represented in the Senedd by three members elected in 2021:
Ken Skates (Welsh Labour) in Clwyd South, first elected in 2011
Darren Millar (Welsh Conservatives) in Clwyd West, first elected in 2007
Gareth Davies (Welsh Conservatives) in Vale of Clwyd, first elected in 2021.
In 2019, research by UnHerd in association with the pollster FocalData showed that most people across the county support the British monarchy.

Describe yourself in one word? "Busy"
What is the most important thing your mother taught you? "Always help others"
These are questions I get the most so I thought I'd multi-answer them :)
1) The Slytherin necklace was a special jewelry edition when the 2nd movie came out around the world.
It is bought in a local jewelry store but it's not possible to buy it that way anymore.
I've seen a few on Ebay so give it a try there :)
(it is also a badge)
2) The Draco Malfoy tee is from WBShop (!) It was a Xmas gift from my best friend. Here's the link to the HP-part; www.wbshop.com/Harry-Potter/hp,default,sc.html
3) The hairbows I make myself. Most of the time it's sewing but the one above was a bowtie for men at first hehe :) I'll make a tutorial if you want me to ^^
4) Yes, I do smoke. Sadly. I've been smoking since I was 11 years old (22 when writing this) so it's way to long lol.
5) The exotic and "wild" animals in my photographs is of course taken at a zoo and not in the nature (!) haha. I do live in Sweden you know :)
Keep asking if you're wondering about something, no question is stupid ^^
I try to answer all of them.
El futur ja és aquí. Sí, i ha vingut per quedar-se. Ja és una realitat comptar amb tot un seguit d’eines informàtiques perquè l’aula sigui un espai interconnectat amb el món. Les noves metodologies pedagògiques ja s’apliquen de manera generalitzada a les escoles, on el concepte gamificació, per exemple, ha entrat amb força els darrers temps. L’ofici d’ensenyar ha canviat molt en poc temps. Totes aquestes transformacions han tingut lloc en molt poc temps, la qual cosa ha generat nous reptes i, sobretot, noves preguntes han sorgit des de la comunitat educativa.
Com cada any, us proposem un dia per reflexionar sobre tot això i trobar respostes a totes les qüestions que, com a docents, de ben segur us plantegeu quan sou davant dels alumnes. És per això que us convidem el proper dia 25 de maig a la III Jornada d’Innovació Pedagògica, que tindrà lloc al Paranimf de la Universitat de Barcelona. Comptarem amb experts en el món educatiu de primer nivell: Jesús C. Guillén, Christian Negre, José Antonio Fernández Bravo i Siro López. De ben segur que les seves aportacions seran una gran ajuda de cara a la millora de la vostra tasca diària a l’aula.
I've never seen one of these before - thanks to redtail10025 for the help with the ID! This butterfly was resting, along with a dozen others, on a tree on the west drive along CP in the mid 70s.
This is a photograph from the 1st round of the 2016 Pat Finnerty Memorial 5KM Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 4th May 2016 at 20:00. The Road League is promoted and organised by Mulligar Harriers Athletic Club. It is very well established as an annual event which takes place on every Wednesday night in the month of May. Tonight the weather was dull and overcast but mild making for very good running conditions. About 250 participants took part in the race which runs a traffic free course over a mix of road and hilly forest trail.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website is here [www.myrunresults.com/] and will contain the results to today's race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

POWER OF NOW…
“Snakes and Ladders”-Resilience Guide
When working with the children they would often be intensifying about something that happened to them in the past or dreading something in the future and time and time again I would repeat the same words...
“please stop focusing on the past or future but focus on the now, right here right now and lets workout what we can do now, not back there or into a future we haven’t go to yet.”
Every time I visited the airport I would go and have a good look in the bookshops to see what latest self-development books had been recently published. I had often found books with really great cutting edge ideas on those book shelves.
On one of my many trips over to the east coast of Australia to visit my daughters I found the perfect book; “The Power of NOW” by Eckhart Tolle on one of those airport bookshelves.
What I read in the first half of that book was profound on many levels for me and all the adult population but how was I going to translate those concepts into child bite pieces?
AHHHH the power of asking a question.
Just by asking that question was enough and over the months to come the way to reduce and simplify those main concepts gleaned from the book The Power of Now slowly emerged into child size bits.
Getting the children to close their eyes to go into their inside world and ask their own brain what it wanted to think about as they watched it was easy. Every child loved the process and when they were asked to come back into the outside world and share what their brain wanted to think about they all would share happily.
After the children had opened their eyes and returned to the outside world I would then ask them “Who are you; the thinking brain or the watcher brain? I could see each child stop and think deeply before answering me.
Most of the time the children would reply that they were the “thinking brain” and I would then explain that they were actually the “watcher brain”.
That was easy, very easy but then I had to come up with a metaphor, some form of symbol the child’s brain could grasp onto to understand why and what this all meant for them as a child.
What grew out of that fertile creative moment was the need to explain to the child that the “thinking brain” was like a beautiful horse and the “watcher brain” was a smart and very wise rider.
Now the children could follow where ever their imaginations could take this story, this metaphor. The power of storytelling won out again and all I had to do from now on was follow where each child wanted to go with the story line/metaphor and how they could apply it in their daily lives.
Asking each child to first describe what kind of horse they were and getting them to personalise their own horse “thinking brain” as something beautiful and magical and then asking them what would happen if I brought a horse into the library or classroom?
A horse running free in their school or their own house would cause chaos in one way or another and that’s what their “thinking brain” without a rider was doing when they were fighting or having a rage attack or swearing.
The children now could make sense of why they behaved the way they were without being shamed, blamed, made to feel hopelessness and could own their own actions without fear.
As each individual child was grasping their “thinking brain” horse reality I could then gently describe the role of their rider “watcher brain”.
The “watcher brains” roles and what each unique individual child’s rider brain needed to learn to be able to develop and embrace their own higher potentials could be slowly shared over the weeks to come every time their horse would be running free and causing chaos.
Their own unique inner nobility could finally find a way to start to shine and strengthen.
