There were more reasons to stop at Morrisons on our way to Totally Transport, Blackpool, than a comfort break. 731 encountered a gearbox problem whilst on the M6, so we left at the next exit and made our way towards Morrisons at Leyland where the problem could be attended to whilst others had a break. Thankfully Renown, to whom I am more than grateful, was with us and the problem was diagnosed as a very low level of gearbox fluid. After purchasing all the gearbox oil in the Morrisons Filling Station shop, the bus was ready to go, and onward we went.

Raising Cane's opened their first Northwest location during late 2019 at Portland's Pioneer Place mall. After being shut down by the pandemic, it has recently reopened. As far as I'm concerned, Cane's is the only reason to visit downtown Portland.

From this two by two, i think you can see why Elizabeth left me for Ted. Her grandfather also sailed.

For some reason, Chaco Canyon has always been on my bucket list. my wife and I checked it out in April 2018 on the way to Texas. Chaco is in NW New Mexico, about 20 some miles off the main road in the area. The dirt road is mostly good, until some bone jarring miles at the end. We stopped at the Visitor Center, got some info, and went exploring on the loop road. This place has a fascinating history, being a major site starting about 1,200 years ago and flourishing for 300 years before something happened. We checked out several of the areas including Hungo Pavi, Chetro Ketl, and Pueblo Bonito. Even though the park is mostly ruins it was fascinating to see how people survived in such harsh conditions.

Radici - Questo è il significato della parola “Taricata” nel dialetto di San Vito dei Normanni (BR) città che ha dato i Natali a questa storica formazione salentina e luogo di nascita della ormai famosa “Pizzica ti Santu Vitu” che dal 1977 il gruppo porta in giro e fa conoscere per l’Italia e l’Europa. In concerto la Taricata, formata da ben tre generazioni di musicisti, sintetizza l’intenso lavoro di ricerca svolto nei trent’anni di attività partendo dalla propria tradizione e arrivando a coprire l'intera area del sud Italia proponendo un repertorio di musiche e canti tradizionali spesso rielaborati ma che conservano la propria natura popolare. Nello stesso tempo il gruppo vanta una vasta “collezione” di nuove composizioni che testimoniano la continua crescita musicale maturata nei lunghi anni di esperienza collettiva, ma soprattutto dei singoli componenti: sonorità tipiche della Terra del Salento si fondono perciò sapientemente con quelle dell’intera area mediterranea e non solo. Ciò è possibile anche grazie alla vasta gamma di suoni che caratterizza l’ensemble che unisce agli strumenti più tradizionali (tamburello, mandolino, organetto, zampogna) altri provenienti da varie parti del mondo e stili musicali. Tutto questo contribuisce a regalare performances di alto godimento musicale che hanno l’obbiettivo di soddisfare i “palati” più vari e soprattutto quello di coinvolgere il pubblico con tanto terapeutico (o catartico) movimento.

Migliaia sono i palchi e i luoghi che hanno visto protagonisti i Taricata sia in Italia che all’estero; numerose le iniziative nelle scuole con laboratori, corsi, conferenze; qualche passaggio in RAI, tv private e radio e realizzazione di corti e documentari (ultimi quelli a cura di Romeo Conte - “Dediche di un viandante del Sud” - e “Amavete” della regista Anna Maria Gallone).

Molte anche le collaborazioni e le esperienze con diversi ed importanti personaggi del panorama musicale come Roberto Pregadio, Inti Illimani, Silvana Licursi, Eugenio Bennato, Daniele Sepe, Gianfranco Degli Esperti, e non, ad esempio Edoardo de Filippo, Yoice Lussu, Barbora Bobulova, Baldin Ahmad, Fuad Aziz.

La realizzazione di 5 incisioni musicali, l’ultima è un CD live dal titolo“Pizzica Nova” - testimonia l’intenso lavoro svolto in questi 30 anni dal gruppo sanvitese che in questi mesi è impegnato, oltre alla normale attività concertistica, nella realizzazione di un nuovo lavoro discografico che sarà seguito, in un prossimo futuro, dalla stesura di un volume che ripercorre la storia del gruppo nel trentennale e che conterrà una raccolta completa di testi e partiture dei brani tradizionali e di composizione che la Taricata ha inciso ed eseguito fino ad oggi.

 

I Taricata sono: Mario Ancora, fisarmonica, organetto, chitarra, mandolino - Mario Leo: voce - Lorenzo Caiolo: conduzione - Franco Gagliani: mandolino, mandola, chitarra battente - Silvana Gagliani: voce - Giuliana Gagliani: voce - Salvatore Ancora: basso, contrabbasso - Vincenzo Gagliani: tamburello, percussioni - Stefania Ancora: danza, voce - Fabio Di Viesto: chitarra - Fabrizio Nigro: Danza - Piero Errico: tamburello, percussioni - Adama Zoungrana: percussioni - Daniel Bulgaru: clarinetto, sax, bombardino - Nico Berardi (ospite): zampogna, quena, chitarra, charango.

Reasons For Hope, An Evening With Dr. Jane Goodall @ The Anthem, Washington, DC, on Monday, September 23, 2019.

 

Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace for an unforgettable evening, entitled Reasons for Hope, at The Anthem Theatre. During her talk, Dr. Goodall will bring you along as she retraces her international journey from her seaside home in the south of England, to her first steps into Gombe Forest and beyond. From her initial groundbreaking research, which has since become a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous wild primate study, you will gain insights into the importance of protecting all of the natural world. And, as founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the youth program, Roots & Shoots, you will learn how Dr. Goodall has spent the past 40 years encouraging individuals to make a difference in the lives of others every single day. Dr. Goodall’s talk will also highlight her 5 main reasons for hope towards the future, and how we must act now if we hope to leave the world a better place for the next generation.

New York Times bestselling author Jay Asher shares that "Thirteen Reasons Why was written as a suspense novel. If I did my job right, you won't be able to put it down! But I also hope it reminds you that the small things we say and do absolutely matter. And if you're hurting, you must speak up and seek help...because you deserve it." authorbuzz.com/kidsbuzz/asher.shtml

Yet another Hobbycraft mini-model. The reason I did all these Hobbycraft 144s was because I had packed them around with me unmade (they are small) for decades. I figured I owed it to them and me. The decals were dreadful, so I used some very nice Revell Germany F-4 Phantom ones and painted the jet in Japanese Aggressor colours. I think its cool.

The Reason Foundation wants to build tunnels under Atlanta. The result would be a lot of hot air. This is a picture of one of the ventilation buildings in Boston. This image was captured from the Discovery Channel documentary Extreme Engineering: Boston's Big Dig.

In May of 1979 some friends and I went to Summet Point WVa to see Paul Newman race. Harry Reasoner was shooting a story for 60 minutes that never aired.

The reason for her visit was because she is the author of the fourth grade core novel in LEADS: Nicky Fifth Garden State Adventure. Our theme for her visit was : Celebrate Reading , Celebrate New Jersey..it also worked well with March’s Read Across America theme.

There is no point in attempting a dialogue about this flyer. If the person who posted it was reasonable, then it wouldn't have been posted.

 

"Reasonable" means susceptible to reason. This is not. It is the act of a closed and distorted, ill-informed and unreasonable mind.

 

Look at all the triggers! See the emotive, motherhood-style, unqualified declarations. They are no better than politicians slogans. Who are the "they" coming for our children? Shadowy bogeymen! Gotta have some of them!! They are straight out of the Department of Home Affairs copybook. Oh, hang on, it's too late. With all the Government big data cross-matching of health, tax, welfare, email, phone number (must be mobile, can't track landline) etcetera they are hooked forever, already.

 

Look at those big blue eyes, full lips, vulnerable little girl looks. What are they selling anyway? We have names for that, and laws too.

 

When there was a visible risk of dying or being disabled at a young age by, you know, smallpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, rubella, measles and their kind, the hope of vaccination was welcomed. Success has drawn a of veil of ignorance over the awareness of imbeciles.

 

Without disease, hunger, malnutrition and disability made visible the way has been paved for the emergence of antivaxxers, vegetarians, vegans; all colours of distorted fringe dwellers. This is just a manifestation of that fringe.

 

The Macquarie Dictionary word of the year is strollout. It refers to the slow rate at which the Australian Government acquired and deployed vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the majority has spoken. Almost 93 per cent of all eligible Australians have chosen to be vaccinated against COVID-19. That's a landslide. The recent rise of the delta and omicron variants of the virus should be reason enough, knowing the propensity for genetic variation in viruses as a function of how many are able to reproduce, for everyone to make their best effort to keep everyone else safe. Whether it's isolation, barrier methods like masks, shields and gloves, biological like vaccination or chemical by washing and sanitising, every little bits helps reduce the population of reproducing and thus potentially mutating viruses.

 

They aren't coming for our children! I almost feel sorry for them. I am sorry I gave them air. Maybe exposing the absurdity of this flyer will make up for that?

Text story:

_________

For Karima, one of the happiest moments of her life was when she earned her first thousand Afghani (US$ 15), when she sold a kilo of honey made from her own bee-keeping business. It may seem like a small amount, but for Karima, it was life changing!

 

Karima is a housewife and a mother of four. Her husband could barely feed the family from the work he could get, so Karima’s contribution to the household income was significant.

 

She has seen a lot in her life. She still remembers the agony and frustration when they had no money and their son was sick. As tears well in her eyes, she relates, “We were not able to buy him medicine. We couldn’t do anything but cry and wait for him to either die or recover by himself.”

 

Her husband, Khalil, who was very fond of honey, tried his hand at beekeeping before, but because he didn’t know how to maintain his beehives, his bees all died.

 

But, Karima and Khalil did not give up. They decided to seek help from the Directorate of Agriculture in Herat city.

Rotherham Slamfest #3 Reasons to be Cheerful Band

For "reasons", we were at Walmer castle tis afternoon.

 

It was beyond hot.

 

And then I realised its about 15 years since we were last here, at the seat of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, so chance before the reason, to wander about and take shots.

 

Did I mention it was hot?

 

Walmer castle has been converted from a place of defence into the residence of the Lord Warden, a converted Tudor castle, similar to Deal and Winchelsea, though decked out as expected for Wardens such as The Duke of Wellington (he died here, and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

 

Before going to Walmer, there was the morning to fill.

 

No gym for us, so we could lay until seven until the water boiler fired up, that usually wakes me, though Jools had been up an hour by then.

 

We watered some of the thirstier plants, then sat on the patio until the fierce heat that was too strong for more than a few minutes at nine, made us seek cool shelter back inside.

 

The cats too take shelter from the heat, when we can stand it we watch wasps stopping to take drinks from the bowl we put out.

 

Lunch is rolls with either corned beef of roast beef, pickles, and being British, crisps to add the crunch, though from a break with tradition, paprika flavour rather than cheese and onion.

 

They filled us up, so we retired to the patio, as after lunch the shadows cover the seats, though as the sun doesn't get as high in the sky now, it shines longer under the umbrella.

 

Just before two we leave for the Castle.

 

Did I mention it was hot?

 

It was hot..

 

A short drive into Walmer, then out through to the coast road, parking near the beach opposite the entrance.

 

We are members, but would have got in free, as we were here to attend a meeting of U2A, and for me to meet some of my churchcrawling group.

 

Not sure if I wrote about this, but from the end of September, every two weeks, ten of us will visit a church, and I will struggle to answer questions.

 

The new group went "live" in the system last Sunday, and in under an hour I had received thirty requests to join. The first ten got in, so we will see how that goes.

 

Walmer Castle has splendid grounds, lots of plants, especially in the kitchen garden, and being school holidays, there were a few families around, but it wasn't crowded. Photography is still banned inside, so we skipped the castle tour and went straight outside.

 

There was a couple of shots I wanted, which I got, but really, it was just too hot to be wandering too far out of the shade.

 

We took shelter on a bench in the shadow of a hedge beside the pond in the Queen Mother's garden, and sat there cooling down until it was time to go into the meeting.

Walmer Castle is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Walmer, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Comprising a keep and four circular bastions, the moated stone castle covered 0.61 acres (0.25 ha) and had 39 firing positions on the upper levels for artillery. It cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build the three castles of Walmer, Sandown, and Deal, which lay adjacent to one another along the coast and were connected by earthwork defences.[a] The original invasion threat passed, but during the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Walmer was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' fighting.

 

In the 18th century, Walmer became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and was gradually modified from a military fortification into a private residence. Various Prime Ministers and prominent politicians were appointed as Lord Warden, including William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Granville, who adapted parts of the Tudor castle as living spaces and constructed extensive gardens around the property. By 1904, the War Office agreed that Walmer had no remaining military utility and it passed to the Ministry of Works. Successive Lord Wardens continued to use the property but it was also opened to the public. Walmer was no longer considered a particularly comfortable or modern residence, however, and Lord Curzon blamed the poor condition of the castle for his wife's death in 1906.

 

Lord Wardens since the Second World War have included Winston Churchill, Robert Menzies and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, but they have made only intermittent use of Walmer Castle. In the 21st century, Walmer Castle is run as a tourist attraction by English Heritage. The interior of the castle displays a range of historical objects and pictures associated with the property and its Lord Wardens, protected since the 19th century by special legislation. The grounds include the Queen Mother's Garden, designed by Penelope Hobhouse as a 95th birthday gift for Elizabeth in 1997.

 

Walmer Castle was built to defend the English coast from attack by France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely.[1] Modest defences, based around simple blockhouses and towers, existed in the south-west and along the Sussex coast, with a few more impressive works in the north of England, but in general the fortifications were very limited in scale.

 

Walmer and the adjacent castles of Deal and Sandown were constructed to protect the Downs in east Kent, an important anchorage formed by the Goodwin Sands which gave access to Deal Beach, on which enemy soldiers could easily be landed.[9] The stone castles were supported by a line of four earthwork forts, known as the Great Turf, the Little Turf Bulwark, the Great White Bulwark of Clay and the Walmer Bulwark, and a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) defensive ditch and bank.[10] Collectively the castles became known as the "castles of the Downs" and cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build.

 

In the 18th century, Walmer Castle became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.[26] The Lord Warden was originally a medieval title linked to five key ports along the coast of England; the position's prominence had faded, but it still retained important judicial and military functions.[30] When Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset, was appointed to the post in 1708 he decided that the existing residence in Dover Castle was unsatisfactory, probably because of the semi-ruinous state of the castle, and moved into Walmer Castle instead.[31]

 

The Duke occupied the post of Lord Warden until 1765, save for two periods when it was filled by James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde and John Sidney, 6th Earl of Leicester.[32] He carried out extensive work to make the castle more habitable, building extensions towards the north bastion and constructing a small house in the south bastion for the soldiers.[26] Under the subsequent Lord Wardens, the politicians Robert Darcy, 4th Earl of Holderness, and Francis North, 1st Earl of Guilford, the castle continued to house artillery but it became increasingly less military in character.[33]

 

The Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger was then made the Lord Warden in 1792. Pitt was badly in debt and King George III believed that the post, which came with a salary of £3,000 a year, would usefully supplement Pitt's income.[34][b] Pitt made extensive use of the castle and by 1803 he used it as his main residence in an effort to reduce his living costs.[36] Pitt's niece, Lady Hester Stanhope, joined him at Walmer between 1803 and 1806; together with Pitt, she carried out extensive work on the castle gardens, transforming them from a simple kitchen garden into a set of landscaped ornamental enclosures; Stanhope enlisted the Dover militia to help with the landscaping and planting.[37]

 

With the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Pitt became energetically involved in the protection of the ports along the coast, entertaining the local garrison commanders, naval captains and the local gentry at Walmer on a regular basis.[38] After Pitt resigned as prime minister in 1801, fears remained of a French invasion and he formed a volunteer cavalry unit at Walmer Castle, where he lived with his new officers.[39] He also formed a unit of bombardier infantry and a fleet of 35 fishing boats called luggers, which he armed with 12-pound (5.4 kg) or 18-pound (8.2 kg) guns, reviewing them from the castle.[40] Stanhope remarked on the constant drilling of army units around the castle during her time there.[41]

 

Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, took possession of Walmer Castle following the death of Pitt in 1806.[32] Liverpool was a favourite of King George's, and his appointment as Lord Warden was again intended to provide a valuable income and a country retreat.[42] As prime minister, Liverpool used Walmer as a personal retreat and as a location for private political discussions with selected guests.

 

On Lord Liverpool's death in 1828, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and the prime minister at the time, asked King George IV for the post of Lord Warden, primarily because he was seeking the use of Walmer Castle.[44] Wellington took up post in 1829 and considered Walmer to be "the most charming marine residence".[45] He made use of the castle each autumn, entertaining extensively there but living and sleeping in a single room.[46] He was visited there twice by Victoria, once when she was still a princess and later as queen.[47] Wellington let the gardens fall into a poor condition.[48] Wellington died in his room at Walmer on 14 September 1852.[49] His embalmed body was kept in his room to lie in state until 10 November,[50] and when the room was opened for public visitors during the final two days, around 9,000 attended.[51] The Duke's body was finally removed to London via Deal, complete with a military escort.

UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.

 

As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, and, crucially, a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business. Karima, who lives in in Qala Safid village in Herat province, was one of the recipients.

 

âWe learned many things about the bee keeping,â says Karima, âlike feeding times, honey extraction and reproduction of honey bees - things I never knew before.â She adds, âI once used lemon to bring back unconscious bees back to normal.â

 

Now, equipped with the knowledge and materials, Karima and Khalil expanded their apiary from just four to ten beehives, and they plan to increase the number to 13 in the next year. With the business growing, they are now making 80 to 90 thousand Afghanis each year by selling their honey.

 

âMy bees are our breadwinners now!â Karima says, looking at her queen bee proudly. âI feel like the queen is representing me and looking after the honey factory!â

 

Beekeeping requires less inputs for production compared to other agricultural activities and livelihoods. It requires less land, water and labor to generate high levels of income.

With low initial support, beekeepers can get an immediate high income. Thatâs why beekeeping has the potential to transform thousands of lives here in Herat province.

 

âBy the grace of God, we have a reliable income now and can buy what we need, including medicines or treatment,â says Karima.

 

Beekeeping in rural areas, where the communities have limited resources such as land and water, can help boost incomes for families like Karimaâs. In addition, beekeeping helps boost food security, and assists crop production through pollination. Almonds, apples, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops all rely on honey bees for pollination. Diversified livelihoods such as bee increasingly improve the income of rural communities consequently people can adapt and manage climate change risks.

 

So, thanks to her new beekeeping skills, Karima and Khalil truly have a reason to âbeeâ cheerful!
