Universal Primary Education (UPE)

Where Mr. Moti lal – Head Master briefed the honourable guests about the back ground and the efforts taken for establishment of such a wonderful building through donations. He elaborated that besides donors the I-care, PHDF, Mir Ghulam Ali Talpur and the chairman usher and zakat the children are continuously supporting the school by making donations from their pocket money, which were a unique contribution and the idea for construction of malala feeder school. They started the school with the number of 25 children only but now after hectic efforts and continuous work hard the number has raised to 455. At the movement 5 Feeder teachers are placed while 3 other teachers are voluntarily putting their time and efforts.

 

Then the guests visited each class room one by one, where two children from each class presented rose flowers to the guests.

This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.

 

Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:

•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.

•Where was this photograph taken?

•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.

•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?

 

About the archive:

The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.

 

About the project:

We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.

All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.

Sun 4 July 2010 - McDonalds Open Football Day, Hartsdown Sports and Leisure Centre, Playing Fields, Hartsdown Park, Margate. - The Event was organized by McDonald's Thanet Franchisee Paul Crocker and Thanet Colts FC Youth Team. In 2009 Paul's Westwood Restaurant was twinned with Thanet Colts in order to improve Grassroots football in and around thanet. Former Spurs and Arsnenal star and World Cup goalkeeping legend Pat Jennings who played in the 1982 and 1986 tournaments for Northern Ireland was the guest of honour.

After an evening on smart recycling of urine and another on public urination, the speakers of this third Pis' Talk focused on the materialism of the golden fluid: they have highlighted how pee as a material can be used to shape leather, carry out scientific research, create dreamlike audio-visual landscapes and nourish plants.

Paulo Humanes (Head of Strategic Global Business Development, PTV Group) responds to questions at the press conference for the Transport Decarbonisation Alliance at the International Transport Forum’s 2019 Summit on “Transport Connectivity for Regional Integration” in Leipzig, Germany, on 23 May 2019.

“Where are you going? Are you lookin' for answers to questions under the stars?”

Where Are You Going: Dave Matthews Band, Busted Stuff

 

This is one of my favorite ballads from the Dave Matthews Band. It’s one of those songs with such a beautiful melody and soft sounds to match the softness of Dave’s voice. Every word, every note seems to have been hand selected for a perfect match and placement in the song.

 

This song always reminds me of the days of soul searching- of seeking answers to questions under the stars. When I felt a lot of hard decisions and sadness was in my life, and as my face was often drowned with such decisions, I always had this song to be there and lift my spirits.

 

*** Artist Notes ***

Capturing the essence of looking out at the morning stars after a night of endless soul searching.

 

Lyrics:

Where are you going, with your long face pulling down?

Don't hide away, like an ocean

That you can't see but you can smell

And the sound of waves crash down

 

I am no superman.

I have no reasons for you

I am no hero, Aww that's for sure

But I do know one thing:

Is where you are is where I belong.

I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be.

 

Where are you going? Where do you go?

Are you lookin' for answers to questions under the stars?

Well if along the way you are growin weary, you can rest with me

Until a brighter day, you're ok.

 

I am no superman.

I have no answers for you.

I am no hero, aww that's for sure.

But I do know one thing:

Where you are is where I belong.

I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be

 

Where are you going? Where do you go?

Where do you go? Where are you goin? Where do you go?

 

I am no superman.

I have no answers for you

I am no hero, Aww that's for sure

But I do know one thing:

Is where you are is where I belong.

I do know, where you go, is where I wanna be.

 

Where are you goin'? Where do you go?

 

Tell me where are you going?

Where? Let's go.

Post a pic of yourself & answer the questions...I was tagged by Ms. Sarah / Issabella the Cat.

 

To friends I have tagged: please, no pressure to play along, but passing the baton seems to be part of the game. And of course I'd love to know about your body piercing plans (! See question 7, below).

 

Okay, onwards

 

1: What are you wearing?

Black cords and a long-sleeved t-shirt

 

2: Something about you that nobody ever knew?

Nobody? Well, here's something that only a few people knew: as a kid I was convinced that I would someday be on the Tonight Show -- for what particular talent, I wasn't sure. But that I would someday be talking to Johnny Carson, I was quite sure. Hmmmm.

 

3: Biggest phobias?

heights

 

4: How tall are you?

I like to say 5'7" but I'm not quite there...probably more like 5'6 1/2" (and shrinking)

 

5: Ever been in love?

Oh yes.

 

6: Any tattoos that you want?

I got my first tattoo when I was 18 and of course they're pretty addictive. If I had a logical spot for another one, I would love to get a wee Singer Featherweight.

 

7. Any piercing that you want?

Okay, so I think I'm a bit outside the target demographic for this list! I have multiple ear piercings and not really in the market for anything else.

 

8. Makeouts or cuddling

both

 

9. shoe size

8 1/2 US (about 39)

 

10. favourite bands

I'm way out of the loop nowadays, but was once really into (then) current music; loved Parliament and anything George Clinton touched, early Prince, Dee-lite, Al Green; also, in a different vein, Style Council, Shriekback, Matt Johnson...like many 40-somethings I'm stuck in a time warp. Mostly I listen to jazz, r & b and classical music.

 

11. something that you miss

Hmmm. I sometimes miss being young(er), but generally I'm pretty happy with exactly where I am.

 

12: Favourite song?

I don't really have one, but this week my littlest kid and I have been dancing to Sam and Dave's "Hold On, I'm Coming."

 

13: How old are you?

44

 

14: Zodiac sign?

Virgo

 

15: Hair Color?

Brown

 

16: Favourite Quote?

After my high school yearbook fiasco I am going to pass on this one.

 

17: Favourite singer?

Depends on when you ask me...I love crooners from the 30s, Russ Columbo, Ruth Etting, but my taste is pretty wide-ranging.

 

18: Favourite colour?

I love blue, purple, green and orange. And slate grey. And pink. And black. I'm apparently not very good at this game.

 

19: Loud music or soft?

Loud

 

20: Where do you go when you're sad?

Bed or a hot bath (or some combination of the two).

 

21: How long does it take you to shower?

About 5 minutes. I'm super quick, very low maintenance.

 

22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

I have to get up at 5:30 a.m.on teaching days, so I get ready quite quickly...and then dawdle over tea and e-mail.

 

23: Ever been in a physical fight?

No.

 

24: Turn on?

Intelligence.

 

25: Turn off?

Sweat that smells like rancid butter...some people have that.

 

26: The reason I joined Flickr?

I think it was to start commenting on particular quilt photos, but very soon after I got involved in several VQBs.

 

27: Fears?

Having to identify a favourite colour, quote, or singer...!

 

28: Last thing that made you cry?

Realizing that all my most important parenting work with my son was now done. He has left for university. His childhood went by in a flash.

 

29: Last time you cried?

I teared up yesterday after shopping for wool coating with my friend Melinda.

 

30: Meaning behind your url:

It combines my research specialization (Folklore & history of the fairy tale) with my sewing passion.

 

31: Last book you read?

Abel's Island by William Steig...but I was teaching it, so maybe that doesn't count? Last novel read for pleasure only: Washington Square by Henry James.

 

32: Last song you listened to?

"Blame Me (Don't Blame My Heart)" by Sam and Dave

 

33: Last show you watched?

Hardball with Chris Matthews

I'd love to go to Italy again, with more time to explore and with my partner. Also Spain and Portugal....

 

38: Last place you were?

Guelph, Ontario...for work so maybe that doesn't count. Before that it would be Boston.

49: Last time you hung out with anyone?

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (The Stargate Mix)

Depeche Mode are an English electronic band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.

Someone had to ask the Question.

one of a big lot I won on ebay (and was the only bidder on); it was a fine transaction, I did get a pretty good number of decent images that I might not use a ton, but will come in handy every once in a while i'm sure. But the seller obviously hadn't done *anything* with them in ages, because at least half were all dried out, several were completely useless and dead and gone, and all were absolutely filthy. But it's a representation of the genre of mailart right? and I love that shit.

There are some days I really question my sanity. This was one of them. I have never seen a Royal Brunei 787 up close. I've seen them at very long distances at Frankfurt and London but they were way to far away to photograph. To make matters worse they arrive at Heathrow very early in the morning, way before sunrise, and depart very late at night. However, on this day, I lucked out - sort of. The flight was delayed and running over two hours late and was estimated to arrive shortly after sunrise. I bundled up and went to the Myrtle Avenue field to wait. What a god awful morning. Very cold, biting wind, and then the rain started. Coffee didn't help it all. Since this was in December, sunrise wasn't until 7:45 am or so. I decided to play around with my camera and was shooting planes landing in almost complete darkness. I lucked out the photos turned out even though the images are not tack sharp. Finally, the sky started to lighting, the Royal Brunei 787 came in. I left happy. I went back to my hotel room to warm up, with my wife shaking her head at the things I do.

 

In an aside, late that evening I happened to peek out of the hotel window just in time to see the 787 taxiing by the room. Life is good!

 

I took these photos in December 2018 at Myrtle Avenue field near Heathrow Airport.

Okay if I was to start a bntm would you audition ? . I did one but I didn't get many entries an I was embarrassed so I deleted the photo and never started . I think it's going to be fun but its okay if you don't want to enter ill just wait another time because I have so many bntm themes so consider it and yeah .... Bye !

  

A question and answer from some cheap trivia game that a friend got as a gift. This caused some uproar when we tried playing it!

 

- Taken at 11:16 AM on October 28, 2006 - cameraphone upload by ShoZu

Our yard has seen a looooot of butterflies lately - monarchs, tiger swallowtails, black swallowtails, cabbage, sulphurs, red admirals, question marks, and various and sundry others I haven't gotten a good enough look at to ID. So far, this little guy is the only flutter-by who's been cooperative for a photoshoot.

Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) Chairman, H.E. Festus Mogae, outlined the three defining questions that face South Sudan – Peace, Relief and Inclusivity

 

At the opening of JMEC’s plenary meeting on 15th March 17 in Juba, the Chairman said, “Whether by design or default, a war is being waged around this country and the security and humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.”

 

“How do we stop the fighting? How do we stop innocent people dying of starvation? And how do we ensure that the interests and concerns of all South Sudanese communities are fully represented and considered?

 

Regarding the new reports of and intense fighting between the government forces and the SPLA in Opposition in Fangak and the Equatoria, with worst incidents reported in and around Kajo-keji, the chairperson of the JMEC, Festus Mogae, said there must be “accountability for these violations.”

 

“It is not acceptable and I strongly condemn the violence, the killings, the human rights abuses and the destruction of homes by all armed groups across this country,” lamented Festus Mogae

 

“Those responsible must be held accountable,” he stressed.

Farsley appeal to the umpire for a leg before decision during the early stages of a JCT600 Bradford League Division One relegation battle at East Bierley. This plea fell on deaf ears and the visitors, who opted to field at South View Road after winning the toss, went on to lose by 37 runs. The outcome virtually assures East Bierley of avoiding the drop but, with just three games of the season left, Farsley remain in the dreaded bottom two.

 

Match statistics: East Bierley 274-5 off 50 overs (Mark Gill 111no, Gavin Hamilton 42, Daniel Shuffe 31no, James Wainman 2-38, Mark Harrison 2-65) 20pts beat Farsley 237 off 49.5 overs (Gregory Pickles 81, James Wainman 59, Mark Harrison 27, Awais Ejaz 5-29, Haziq Tareen 2-21, Neil Gill 2-60) 7pts by 37 runs. Farsley won the toss and elected to field. Admission: £3 (including eight-page programme). Attendance: 73. Cricket tea: £4.95 (cheese salad with bread & butter, strawberry pavlova, mug of tea).

 

East Bierley Cricket Club were formed in 1865, which makes 2015 their 150th anniversary year. Initially, they played at The Shay, behind the New Inn, but soon moved to the present South View Road site. The ground was rented from Saville Estates then purchased in 1932. After winning the Bradford District League in 1895, 1898 and 1899, East Bierley joined the Bradford League in 1912. After finishing bottom of a 20-strong league in 1924, they took a three-year sabbatical. Since returning, the club have been continual members. Seven re-election applications were made during the 1940s. Success arrived from the Eighties. East Bierley secured the Division One championship and Priestley Cup double in 1981. Since then, they have won the top-flight title four times and lifted the Priestley Cup on seven further occasions. In 1979, East Bierley won the National Village Cup Final at Lord's.

  

Although I love the metrics aspect of Last.fm, I find they raise more questions than they answer (possibly that's what Metrics are for).

 

So please answer the following questions:

1) have you heard of 'Boards of Canada'

2) have you heard of 'Siouxsie and the Banshees'

 

Now, I would have thought, in a straw-poll, and possibly based upon universally recognised measurements such as record sales etc, that the second question would have garnered more positives.

 

Looking at the plays and shouts shown on Last.fm however, one could postulate that despite the Record Companies protestations to the contrary, listening to music on the internet is a truer reflection of public consumption - and the bands that have been earning money from the 'traditional' distribution models have not been the bands that the public, money being no object, would actually have listened-to (and therefore made rich).

 

Or am I talking bollocks?

I admit this is a terrible photo but seeing this bird in the middle of winter is making me question my ID of it.
