U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill listened to ideas and concerns, and answered questions from Missourians today at a public town hall meeting in Hillsboro—kicking off the first of eight public town halls she is holding across the Show-Me state this week.
McCaskill has hosted public town hall meetings in Missouri throughout her time in the U.S. Senate.
“One of the most important parts of my job is listening to Missourians about their ideas and concerns, getting their input, and holding myself accountable face-to-face,” said McCaskill, who grew up in rural Missouri. “I wanted the folks at today’s town hall, and across the state, to know that the people they elected to represent them truly hear them, and stand ready to take their ideas to Washington on how to better tackle the opioid crisis in our state, educate our kids, ensure Missourians have access to affordable health insurance, and bring down the high cost of prescription drugs.”
McCaskill is hosting eight public town halls this week in Buchanan County, Callaway County, Greene County, Jefferson County, Marion County, New Madrid County, Phelps County, and Platte County.
Public town halls with Missourians have been a hallmark of McCaskill’s time in the Senate, including tours across the state. During debate over the Affordable Care Act—at a time of heightened demonstrations against the law—McCaskill held a series of highly publicized town halls, including in traditionally conservative areas of Missouri, to hear directly from Missourians about their concerns and respond to criticisms. In 2014, McCaskill logged more than 1,000 miles around the state on her “McCaskill on Main Street” series of public town halls.
McCaskill has also toured the state with town halls aimed at military veterans and seniors—and has hosted individual town halls, such as one she hosted last year with then-U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack focused on the opioid epidemic.

Questions & Answers About
"Your God Power"
What is Your "God Power?"
Your God Power, is: "The ability to Change Reality." Our Realities are changeable, and are in fact, changing all the time. Miracles are examples of a drastic and unexpected, beneficial change in Reality. The Placebo Effect, is a change in Reality, where a sugar pill with no medicinal qualities, is able to cure a terminally ill patient. In the "Normal Reality," the pill has no beneficial effect. It is just sugar. However, when a patient believes that the sugar pill is a special medicine, a Miracle cure, it "Becomes" a miracle cure. The Patient used his "God Power," to change his own Reality.
We were made in the "Likeness of God." That "Likeness," is our ability to Change Our Own Realities. That is the ability that You were given at birth, "Your God Power."
Your ability to Change Your Reality, is not limited to improving Your Health. You have the ability to change the Reality of Your Circumstances, Your Health, Your Love Life, Your Financial Situation, and even Your World.
How Does Your God Power Work?
Your Reality is based on "Meanings," Your Meanings. Whatever something "Means" to You, creates the Reality of it. It is a change in "Meaning." that creates a Change in Reality.
For Example. When a Patient takes a sugar pill, and he Knows that it is a sugar pill, what does that Mean to him? It means that he will gain a few calories from the sugar that he has just taken. However, if he thinks and Believes that the pill is some special Miracle Drug, that will cure him, what does that Mean? It means, that if he swallows that pill, he will be cured, and so, the sugar, becomes able to actually cure a terminal illness. The "Facts," were not changed. He still took a pill made of sugar, but, its Meaning was changed, which changed his Reality.
When someone is engulfed in a dreadful situation, that is expected to have dire consequences, what does that Mean? It Means, that there will be an unfortunate outcome. However, if the person prays to God, for a Miracle, what does that Mean? That Means, that God will now intervene in this situation, and create a favorable outcome. Praying to God, Means a favorable outcome is eminent. The Meaning has changed, and therefore, the Reality has changed. Impossible situations, suddenly "Become" resolved. That is how Your God Power works.

The Meaning of "Meanings"
***
Is This The Same As The
"Law of Attraction?"
The "Law of Attraction" is generally thought of as "Like Attracts Like." Technically, "The Results are Elicited by the Resonant Attraction of the Meaning." In other words, when taking a Pill Means that You will get well; the Meaning of Getting Well elicits, or attracts, the "Like Result" of Good Health. That is "Like Attracts Like."
The "Attraction" is always based on the Meaning of the situation, and NOT the facts. It is the Meaning of taking a miracle drug that heals the patient, not, the sugar in the pill. It is the Meaning of Feeling Lucky, and not the actual Lucky item, that attracts (Elicits) the fortuitous circumstances.
Aren't "Feelings"
The Basis of Attraction?
"Feelings" are NOT the basis of Attraction. Feelings are the "Indicator" of what You are attracting. It is ALWAYS the "Meaning" that is the Basis of what you are attracting into your experience.
In example. If the Doctor tells you that You have a terminal Disease and there is no chance that you will survive, that "Means" that you will Die Soon. That "Meaning" makes you FEEL bad, and you "Elicit" Death as a Result. Not form the Feeling, but from the Meaning, that resulted in Your Bad Feeling. However, if the Doctor tells you that he has a "Miracle Drug" that will cure you, that "Means" that You will survive and Live. That results in a GOOD Feeling. You will then "Elicit" Healing and good Health from the "Meaning" that You will survive. Note: It doesn't matter whether the Drug is Real or not. If what the Doctor gives You "Means" that you will now Survive, you will. It is ALWAYS the "Meaning" First, then the Resulting Feeling and Elicited Results, come after that.
Isn't There Just
One Reality For All?
No. Every Person has their own, separate Reality. They may look alike, and seem the same, but, they are all individual Realities. One Person takes the Sugar pill, and gets well, and another takes the same pill and dies. The facts were the same, but, the Meanings and resulting Realities were different. One Person gets a Miracle and another in the same situation, does not. One Person always seems to get the "Lucky" breaks, and another Person in the same exact situation, never does. While they may have both believed in the pill or both expected a Miracle consciously, Subconsciously, their Beliefs, Meanings, and expectations may have been different. They are different Realities, which are creating (Eliciting) different Results.
Is "Luck" Real?
YES! Luck is Real. When You carry Your "Lucky" item in Your pocket, for example, what does that "Mean" to You? Does that "Mean" that You will be Lucky? If so, then You will "Become" Lucky, not because You have the Lucky Item, but, because it "Means Good Luck For You." Can You be "Un-Lucky?" Yes You Can. What does it Mean to You, when every Job that You have ever had, or Mate that You have ever had, didn't work out? Does it mean that You are "Un-Lucky" in Love, or life? If so, then You will "Become" Un-Lucky, in Reality.
Isn't It Just "Fate?"
Yes it is, but, not in the way that You think of "Fate." We all have certain Beliefs, Meanings and Expectations in our Lives. These Meanings are "Eliciting" and Manifesting certain Results into our Experience. That might be thought of as our "Fate." Fate is the cascading results of our Meanings and Beliefs, whether they Manifest in the next 5 Minutes or the next 50 Years. We can control our Fate, by deciding on, and controlling our Beliefs and Meanings.
"While We Are Destined To
Experience the Results of Fate,
We Have the Free Will to
Decide What Our Fates Will Be."

"An antique board game with a magical/wizard theme. The game was published by McLoughlin Bros., N.Y.: c. 1870. It measures 11.75 x 11.75 x 2 inches when in the case.
Inside the box is a spinner resting beneath a pane of glass. The directions are mounted underneath the glass. There are three "answer inserts" that hug the outer portion of the box, fitting around the glass. Three double-sided circular question cards are provided, each one corresponding to an answer insert.
After a question is asked, the question card is placed upon the glass pane and aligned such that the question asked is placed in the top (12 o'clock) position. The spinner is then magnetically moved, and points to the correct answer on the "answer insert."
The directions read: "In asking a question, place the Question Card so that it will fit exactly over this Disc, placing the question asked at the top, so that the dot on the edge will be directly opposite the dot on the top of this Disc, when the hand will immediately move in a quizzical manner, and in a few moments stop, and give the correct answer."

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.
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.

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.

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.
"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.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (Live in Berlin)
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.
