A recent acquisition, new but at $14 a pair I couldn't refuse. Rubber shoes like Crocs or my orange Aldos. Size 37, made for women but to me very unisex. Nice and snug. Initially a little tight on the small toes, but things have adjusted and they are very comfy now.
These are great in wet weather, there are no designed in "vent" holes like Crocs or my Aldos to let water in. They do sometimes make a funny sucking noise as the air gets pushed out next to my instep when I step down. Farting shoes!
The only issue is how fast the soles wear. I've worn these a number of times since these pictures were taken, but nowhere near every day, and the "nubs" are now worn completely off the back of the heels and the center of the ball of my feet. If I wore these every day, they might already have holes in the soles. But at $14 a pair, so what.
I'll have to take more photos to track the wear.
The 1998 built Cory Environmental tug Regain heads under London Bridge with four lighters carrying empty refuse containers.
Cory Environmental started life in 1896. The Company was then called William Cory and Son Ltd and was an amalgamation of eight companies in one of London’s most important industries – the coal trade. The Company’s assets were considerable. They included:
· 13 wharves on the Thames
· two floating derricks
· leased depots in the Victoria, Albert and Tilbury docks
· four tug bunkering stations
· yards and works at Charlton, Erith, Brentford, and Rochester
· 2,500 railway wagons
· 42 coal depots
· 25 stables, which housed the Company's 350 horses
William Cory & Son handled over five million tonnes of coal, coke and patent fuel each year. The goods were transported into London and the south east by barges on the Thames and the Medway, and by wagons on the rail system. In addition, hay was brought into the capital from the surrounding countryside.
It was here that a prime opportunity to utilise barges that had emptied their load in London was identified, giving an early insight into Cory’s future business. Every tug leaving London on the Thames left with a cargo of rubbish from London's streets, for ultimate disposal on the marshlands of Kent and Essex. Cory Environmental is currently the largest lighterage operator on the upper reaches of the Thames but has expanded to provide environmental services across the UK.

By 1953, Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was one of the most marketable Hollywood stars, with leading roles in three films: the Film Noir Niagara, which focused on her sex appeal, and the comedies Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, which established her star image as a "dumb blonde". Although she played a significant role in the creation and management of her public image throughout her career, she was disappointed at being typecast and underpaid by the studio. She was briefly suspended in early 1954 for refusing a film project, but returned to star in one of the biggest box office successes of her career, The Seven Year Itch (1955).
Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926 in Lemmon, South Dakota. She was the third child of Gladys Pearl Baker, née Monroe, who suffered from mental illness and later worked as a film cutter at RKO. Her mother abandoned Marilyn, and she spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage. Just after her 16th birthday, she married 21-year-old aircraft plant worker James 'Jim' Dougherty. In 1943, Dougherty enlisted in the Merchant Marine. He was initially stationed on Catalina Island, where she lived with him until he was shipped out to the Pacific in April 1944; he would remain there for most of the next two years. While working in a factory as part of the war effort in 1944, Marilyn met photographer David Conover and began a successful modelling career. She began to occasionally use the name Jean Norman when working and had her curly brunette hair straightened and dyed blond to make her more employable. As her figure was deemed more suitable for pin-up than fashion modelling, she was employed mostly for advertisements and men's magazines. By early 1946, she had appeared on 33 magazine covers for publications such as Pageant, U.S. Camera, Laff, and Peek. She divorced Dougherty in 1946. The work led to a screen test by 20th Century Fox executive and former film star Ben Lyon. Head executive Darryl F. Zanuck was unenthusiastic about it, but he was persuaded to give her a standard six-month contract to avoid her being signed by rival studio RKO Pictures. Monroe began her contract in August 1946, and together with Lyon selected the screen name of Marilyn Monroe. Among her first film parts were nine lines of dialogue as a waitress in the drama Dangerous Years (Arthur Pierson, 1947) and a one-line appearance in the comedy Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (F. Hugh Herbert, 1948). After a series of other minor film roles, she moved to Columbia. While at Fox, her role had been that of a 'girl next door', at Columbia, she was modelled after Rita Hayworth. Monroe's hairline was raised by electrolysis, and her hair was bleached even lighter to platinum blond. She also began working with the studio's head drama coach, Natasha Lytess, who would remain her mentor until 1955. Her only film at the studio was the low-budget musical Ladies of the Chorus (Phil Karlson, 1948), in which she had her first starring role as a chorus girl who is courted by a wealthy man. After leaving Columbia in September 1948, Monroe became a protégée of Johnny Hyde, vice president of the William Morris Agency. Hyde began representing her, and their relationship soon became sexual, although she refused his proposals of marriage. To advance Monroe's career, he paid for a silicone prosthesis to be implanted in her jaw and arranged a bit part in the Marx Brothers' film Love Happy (David Miller, 1949). That year, she also made minor appearances in two critically acclaimed films: John Huston's crime film The Asphalt Jungle (1950) and Joseph Mankiewicz's drama All About Eve (1950). Following Monroe's success in these roles, Hyde negotiated a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox in December 1950. Over the next two years, she became a popular actress with roles in several comedies, including As Young as You Feel (Harmon Jones, 1951) and Monkey Business (Howard Hawks, 1952) with Cary Grant, and in the dramas Clash by Night (Fritz Lang, 1952) and Don't Bother to Knock (Roy Ward Baker, 1952) with Richard Widmark. Her popularity with audiences was growing: she received several thousand letters of fan mail a week. The second year of the Fox contract saw Monroe become a top-billed actress, with gossip columnist Florabel Muir naming her the year's 'it girl' and Hedda Hopper describing her as the 'cheesecake queen' turned 'box office smash'. She began a highly publicised romance with retired New York Yankee baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, one of the most famous sports personalities of the era. A month later, Monroe faced a scandal when it was revealed that she had posed for nude photos before becoming a star, but rather than damaging her career, the story increased interest in her films.
By 1953, Marilyn Monroe was one of the most marketable Hollywood stars with leading roles in three hits: the Film Noir Niagara, and the comedies Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire. In Niagara (Henry Hathaway, 1953), she played a femme fatale scheming to murder her husband, played by Joseph Cotten. While Niagara made Monroe a sex symbol, the satirical musical comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks, 1953) established her screen persona as a 'dumb blonde'. Based on Anita Loos' bestselling novel and its Broadway version, the film focuses on two 'gold-digging' showgirls, Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw, played by Monroe and Jane Russell. It became one of the biggest box office successes of the year by grossing $5.3 million, more than double its production costs. Her next film, How to Marry a Millionaire (Jean Negulesco, 1953), co-starred Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall. It featured Monroe in the role of a naïve model who teams up with her friends to find rich husbands, repeating the successful formula of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Despite mixed reviews, the film was Monroe's biggest box office success so far, earning $8 million in worldwide rentals. Although she played a significant role in the creation and management of her public image throughout her career, she was disappointed at being typecast and underpaid by the studio. She was suspended in early 1954 for refusing a film project. The suspension was front-page news, and Monroe immediately began a publicity campaign to counter any negative press and to strengthen her position in the conflict. On 14 January, she and Joe DiMaggio were married at the San Francisco City Hall. They then travelled to Japan, combining a honeymoon with his business trip. From there, she travelled alone to Korea, where she performed songs from her films as part of a USO show for over 60,000 U.S. Marines over four days. She settled with Fox and returned to star in one of the biggest box office successes of her career, The Seven Year Itch (Billy Wilder, 1955). Then followed the release of Otto Preminger's Western River of No Return (1955), in which Monroe appeared opposite Robert Mitchum. When the studio was still reluctant to change her contract, Monroe and photographer Milton Greene founded a film production company in late 1954, Marilyn Monroe Productions (MMP). She dedicated 1955 to building her company and began studying method acting at the Actors Studio. She grew close to the studio's director, Lee Strasberg and to his wife Paula, receiving private lessons at their home due to her shyness, and she soon became like a family member. In late 1955, Fox awarded her a new contract, which gave her more control and a larger salary. Monroe did a critically acclaimed performance in Bus Stop (Joshua Logan, 1956). She played Chérie, a saloon singer whose dreams of stardom are complicated by a naïve cowboy who falls in love with her. She received a nomination for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance. Then she acted opposite Laurence Olivier in the first independent production of MMP, The Prince and the Showgirl (Laurence Olivier, 1957), made in Great Britain. It was released in June 1957 to mixed reviews and proved unpopular with American audiences. The film was better received in Europe, where it won Crystal Star awards and was nominated for a BAFTA.
Then Marilyn Monroe acted opposite Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in the classic comedy Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959). The film was an absolute smash hit, with Curtis and Lemmon pretending to be females in an all-girl band, so they could get work. This was to be Marilyn's only film for the year. She won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role. Monroe took a hiatus until late 1959, when she returned to Hollywood to star in the musical comedy Let's Make Love (George Cukor, 1960), about an actress and a millionaire (Yves Montand) who fall in love when performing in a satirical play. Her affair with Montand was widely reported by the press and used in the film's publicity campaign. Her last completed film was the drama The Misfits (John Huston, 1961), which Arthur Miller had written to provide her with a dramatic role. She played a recently divorced woman who becomes friends with three ageing cowboys, played by Clark Gable, Eli Wallach, and Montgomery Clift. Monroe returned to the public eye in the spring of 1962: she received a 'World Film Favourite' Golden Globe award and began to shoot a new film for 20th Century-Fox, Something's Got to Give, a remake of My Favorite Wife (Garson Kanin, 1940). Days before filming began, Monroe caught sinusitis; despite medical advice to postpone the production, Fox began it as planned in late April. Monroe was too ill to work for the majority of the next six weeks, but despite confirmations by multiple doctors, the studio tried to put pressure on her by alleging publicly that she was faking it. On 19 May 1962, she took a break to sing 'Happy Birthday' on stage at President John F. Kennedy's birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York. She drew attention with her costume: a beige, skintight dress covered in rhinestones, which made her appear nude. Monroe next filmed a scene for Something's Got to Give in which she swam naked in a swimming pool. To generate advanced publicity, the press was invited to take photographs of the scene, which were later published in Life. It was the first time that a major star had posed nude while at the height of their career. When she was again on sick leave for several days, Fox decided that it could not afford to have another film running behind schedule when it was already struggling to cover the rising costs of Cleopatra (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963). The studio blamed Monroe for the film's demise and began spreading negative publicity about her, even alleging that she was mentally disturbed. Fox soon regretted its decision and reopened negotiations with Monroe later in June; a settlement about a new contract, including re-commencing Something's Got to Give and a starring role in the black comedy What a Way to Go! (J. Lee Thompson, 1964), was reached later that summer. To repair her public image, Monroe engaged in several publicity ventures, including interviews for Life and Cosmopolitan and her first photoshoot for Vogue. For Vogue, she and photographer Bert Stern collaborated for two series of photographs, one a standard fashion editorial and another of her posing nude, which were both later published posthumously with the title 'The Last Sitting'. In the last weeks of her life, she was also planning on starring in a biopic of Jean Harlow. Only 36, Marilyn Monroe died on 5 August 1962 from an overdose of barbiturates. She was discovered dead at her home at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood. She had a phone in one of her hands, and her body was completely nude and face down on her bed. During her life and also after her death, her troubled private life received much attention. She struggled with addiction, depression, and anxiety. She had two highly publicised marriages, to baseball player Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, which both ended in divorce. Although the death was ruled a probable suicide, several conspiracy theories have been proposed in the decades following her death. There are over 600 books written about her.

Gambling in amateur Sport ? CBC has introduced gambling into its coverage of the Olympic games? In a groundbreaking move and for the first time ever, CBC will include gambling in its live coverage of Olympic events ?
Paris Olympics 2024 - It appears that CBC has partnered with one particular online Casino company and BetRivers is running sports betting ads during the televising of Olympic sporting events ? Is the inclusion of a Casino and a Sports betting parlor that runs sports betting during Olympic events appropriate when considering the principles and high moral standard exemplified by the Olympic Games ?
Aug 22 2024, the Minister of hypocrisy, oops, I mean Minister of Health Mark Holland and his Liberal Government have passed legislation enabling unparallelled massive gambling in Canada ? And now we are seeing NHL heros past and present like Wayne Gretzky, Austin Matthews and Connor McDavid in TV gambling commercials, in online gambling ads, and profiles pasted onto huge billboards that promote gambling ? However, Holland has banned a help to quit smoking cessation product called Zonnic that helps one quit a bad habit and is currently sold only to those over 19 and always kept hidden away from view under the counter in stores proclaiming that, "All the stuff that's clearly designed to target youth — It's over ! "
Fans are confused ? After Mark Holland says he is protecting our youth from the Zonnic product that is used to quit a bad habit, meanwhile we are now watching as he does nothing while Superstar NHL heroes play starring roles in glamorous new betMGM ads that promote gambling ? After numerous complaints were filed about this from parents, they did ease away from the image of Sports heros that encourage and participate in the gambling vice but McDavid's image was never separated from gambling or the lucrative gambling industry but was instead relegated to now show Connor as the ambassador for safe gambling ? But,, isn't it still gambling ? see news article, "Connor McDavid's latest gambling ad with Bet MGM sparks outrage among his fans,"

Betano - A message to the kids from their sports hero and mentor- "are you a good player, or a great player". Betano gambling ads associate words like 'good and great' with gambling ?
What if they were to advertise a safe way to smoke cigarettes as a way to get more clients ? Sound ridiculous ? But is this not the same as the advertising of 'safe' gambling ? Don't safe gambling ads serve to welcome, endorse and normalize the pracitce of gambling which can be a dangerous and life altering highly addictive habit ?
May 25,2022 - The big gambling companies run ads that emphasize 'limited play' and 'safe' gambling ? Is this not the same as the alcohol industry running ads that encourage drinking alcohol by telling you how many cocktails to safely drink per day, or, how about the tobacco industry running ads that promote safe smoking by recommending an amount of cigs to safely smoke per day, or the marijuana industry recommending the number of joints to safely get high on each day ? Or, what if they spin : You're 'good' if you drink but You're 'great' if you safe drink, or, you're 'good' if you smoke cigarettes but You're 'great' if you safe smoke only so many cigarettes per day, or , you're 'good' if you smoke pot but you're 'great' if you only smoke this many grams per day ? ref, "All those sports betting ads you're seeing,, It's illegal says the Alberta gaming commission ?" www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728

Attention, Liberal Minister of Gender Equality : Why is the provision of men's emergency shelters not being considered by the Liberal Government ? There has been a tremendous effort put forth to expand the already large number of existing comfortable modern emergency shelters for women, but for the men it's always the back seat of a car, the local Church or a local park bench ?

What Is Truth ?
"If you are strictly one-sided with any opinion, you’re incredibly ignorant".
UBC Jan 22, 2026 - An entire generation of students that have grown up attending the Canadian public school system during the Trudeau Liberal era ( 2015 thru 2025 ) have now reached post secondary age and are arriving at the University in a heavily indoctrinated state of mind with extremely one-sided only, uni-opinion attitudes that they are expressing in a strong and even physical violent way ? Gangs of masked and gagged orange shirted young student protestors, the advent of tribalism, signs of mind control, far left radical activists on campus and coercive propaganda posters hanging up in a dark Authoritarian environment where many students are afraid to speak and free will, open debate or speaking openly may be seen as a crime ? This might sound Orwellian, but it's actually the University of B.C. in Vancouver a Canadian institute of higher learning that gets over a billion dollars per year of public funding ? Professor Widdowson says, "Without truth and without freedom, our Universities will die." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihsLPodE9R0
Truth is not the priority for CBC ? wha-a-a-a-tt ?

May 29th, 2026, Kentville Memorial Park, the ABF Friday night concert, ( Are the good ole days of dollar dogs and bargain Big 8 soda pop over) ? High G7 level of security protocol established for an evening of 20 dollar hamburger food trucks and little kids bouncy castles ? ( must have taken up most of their budget at the sacrifice of bringing in some quality outside live entertainment) ? Town calls in outside police to reinforce local police, cordons off entire ground zero event perimeter with road blocks, street barricades and manned guard check stop posts to enforce maximum level traffic control that, unfortunately, made patrons including seniors, the disabled, toddlers, and Mothers carrying babies having to park and walk from a fair distance to get to the park gates ? Also, in past years concert organizers always brought in special outside guest rock bands, and always featured interesting games, demonstrations and displays, and there was always a visit from the Queen Annapolisa Royal party following the prestigious coronation ceremony in Wolfville, However, unfortunately, this years event seems to have deteriorated into some kind of Children's outdoor romper room type family affair featuring food trucks, inflatable air bouncy castles and a local band as the star main stage performer ? There's not much to do or see for those that exceed elementary school level other than to maybe purchase some food from a food truck charging upscale restaurant prices and then dine on a paper plate using plastic utensils while standing in a crowd of unruly kids and being lustfully observed by some nearby saliva drooling pet dogs leashed to their owners ? However, thanks to heightened security and upscale traffic control there was a report of one parking violator being successfully apprehended and a runaway pet was also captured and returned to its owner ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/54558198569/in/photost...
A cultural genocide in Kentville ? Why always Kentville ? Now it's the library ? First came the loss of the Railway and Day-liner service back in 1989, then Kings council expropriated the Airport for no reason and evicted many established aviation businesses, In 2017 they had tried to take away Grand street parade from its home in Kentville , and then Kentville lost the famous Cornwallis Inn logo and the 88 yrs old statue in Halifax was torn down, and they terminated the Towns Apple Blossom Princess Kentville competition while ending 87 consecutive years of the iconic Queen Annapolisa pageant. And Kentville also lost the diversity provided by nearby villages that normally would participate in the Festival, as well as termination of the Princess teas, visits and the prestigious Coronation, and also the ending all mid-week public demonstrations, displays and entertainment normally held at Memorial Park during ABF week ? And now they appear to even be after the long time Kentville Library ?
After the Town had terminated many traditional sources of public enjoyment never offering a close replacement, and, as Kentville gradually approaches cultural ghost town status, it has become noticable that the downtown business core, (in which the Mayor has a major private business interest ) has come alive and totally renovated and restored to a never before seen pristine condition by way of a new beautification program complete with new installations of street paving, street paint, new double sidewalks on both sides, new driveway entrances, new curb and gutter both sides, signage and flower pots ? And the other three surrounding streets making up this downtown business block have also been totally upgraded including Aberdeen Street (twice), Cornwallis Street and Main Street ?

We refused to leave the street and go home until our demand of capital punishment for war criminals are met. Took this photograph on yesterday evening, February 06, 2013, when thousands joined at Shahbag intersection in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It turned into a spontaneous mass protest with thousands of people continuing their sit-in programme to demand capital punishment for Jamaat-e-Islami politician Abdul Quader Molla and other war criminals. University teachers and students, journalists, cultural and political activists, particularly the young generation, gathered at the intersection. We claimed capital punishment for Abdul Quader Molla for he has been found guilty of five out of six charges, including a series of killings including some large-scale massacres in the Mirpur area of Dhaka during the country’s Liberation War in 1971. The given verdict has humiliated the whole nation and disappointed people seeking justice for the mass murder and rape by the collaborators, and also belittled the sacrifices of freedom fighters and intellectuals. The fiery protest is now spread throughout the nation, thousands of people in different districts are on streets demanding justice for war crime.

All eyes were on Manchester yesterday for the much-anticipated derby match between Manchester City and Manchester United.
The match, which was unsurprisingly a sell-out, was watched by around 47,000 fans at the Etihad Stadium. Thousands more watched from screens in pubs in the city centre and surrounding towns and millions more watched from their homes.
There were no serious incidents of disorder and no reports of any trouble taking place in other areas in Greater Manchester in relation to the derby.
Thirty-one people were arrested in the city centre and at or near the football ground, for mainly minor drink-related and public order offences.
Anyone found with alcohol on the streets within the alcohol exclusion zone, stretching from the city centre to the stadium, had it confiscated. In addition, anyone who arrived at the stadium under the influence of excess alcohol was refused entry.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare, commander for the derby policing operation said: ‘With so much resting on the game, this derby was always going to be an exciting match with emotions running high.
‘Thousands of people were out in the city and towns across Greater Manchester last night to soak up the atmosphere and I must praise the behaviour of the supporters from both sides. Their conduct was exemplary and they enjoyed this fixture in the true spirit of the game.
‘We had a lot of extra officers working throughout the day, supported by partner agencies, to ensure this match was an enjoyable experience for all football fans and I am pleased to say there were only a relatively small number of arrests.
‘Officers were out on the streets speaking with fans and joining in the atmosphere, while at the same time looking out for any potential troublemakers who were looking to spoil the evening for the vast majority. This helped set the tone for the day.
‘Anyone who was arrested last night can be assured that we will clamp down hard on them. We work closely with both Manchester United and Manchester City, who are supportive of that fact that anyone arrested in connection with causing trouble at the derby runs the risk of being banned from entering their respective club again in the future.
‘Last night the city of Manchester was remembered for all the right reasons and we can all celebrate the fact that the Premier League title is coming to Manchester.’

This truck is owned by Santa Anita Park, a substantial horse racing track in Arcadia, CA. What's unique about it is its capability to raise and empty special, narrow dumpsters very similar to the type generally seen in use with front loaders. To my knowledge, this truck is still in normal use for containing the park's waste, before it is hauled to a disposal facility.

The New Brickikan born Johannes Smuts first entered a tank shortly before the "Destructions of the 12 Colonies war", and from then on he would know no other home. During the war he served in both the Allied Army (under General George S. McFatton) in Deland and the Republikan Army in Bolindia, during which he compiled an excellent combat record, a number of medals, and extensive experience as a tank commander. After the war he migrated between various military positions around the world, with a notable career with the Briolui Defense Force, and otherwise working for whoever paid him and put him in command on the front line. It was in 1985, while working in Briolui, that he was paired with an M5 Olifant. One of his jealous superiors thought it would be funny to give their boisterous New Brickikan commander a New Brickikan tank. But Smuts became attached, and would remain with this tank for the rest of his life, even refusing to upgrade to any of the newer vehicles entering the Defense Force. He ultimately left the BDF in 1990, refusing the grand ceremonial honours offered to him by the Brioluian government, but requested that he could take his tank with him. From there he found employment in the Coalition to Restore the Republic in New Brickika (or The Rebellion), and gained heavy experience as a guerilla fighter in the "Bush Wars" of 1995-99 in Nak Hu. During this time he had the tank extensively modified. Aside from flattening the hull, near completely replacing the turret and installing a more powerful (but fuel hungry) engine, the additions included a new 125mm smoothbore gun, a self-entrenching blade, "Bear Claw" mine plows, a comfortable new interior and a variety of other things most tankers only dream of. He also found it a name; "Old Mud and Rust", joking about the filthy, dilapidated appearance of the aging tank. But man and vehicle were so inseparable that his men soon swapped them around, whereupon he became Old Mud and Rust and the tank became General Smuts. And together, they are Old Mud and Smuts. After recovering from a busted hip bone he had himself, and his tank, smuggled out of New Brickika, and retired to Plantasea. His peace didn't last long, as the Plantasean Armored Command bribed him out of retirement with a hefty new salary, and he commanded an armour force with distinction for the duration of the war in Filace and Xenor

This is Stott Hall Farm, in West Yorkshire which is famous because it is situated slap bang in the middle of the two main carriageways of the M62 motorway. Wikipedia says this about it:
Stott Hall Farm (53.641599°N 1.952222°W) is an 18th century farm on Windy Hill, situated between the two carriageways of the motorway between junctions 22 and 23. The road forks around the farm for engineering reasons owing to the surrounding area's geology, though a local myth persists that the road had to be split because the owners refused to sell the land during its construction. Due to its remoteness in the Pennines, the farm is often nicknamed the Little House on the Prairie, it is now known countrywide to lorry drivers using CB radio by this name and is even referred to as such by Sally Boazman, BBC Radio 2's traffic reporter. The farm is now separated from the motorway by crash barriers and a high fence to keep livestock in and drivers out, after some stranded motorists attempted to get aid when broken down. The farm, which was occupied by Ken and Beth Wild at the time of the motorway's opening, is now farmed by Paul Thorp. It is one of the ten best-known sights from the motorway network and one of the best-known sights in West Yorkshire. The farm was used as a location for an early episode of ITV drama series Where the Heart Is and was the subject of a short documentary film.
When Rama was banished to the forest his wife Sita refused to be left behind, stating that a woman's place is always with her husband. Rama's dear brother Laxman also would not stay in Ayodhya without him. And so, the three of them left for the forest.
Although Sita was a gentle princess accustomed to the luxury of palaces, she greatly enjoyed forest life. The beauty of the forest and the sweetness of the animals brought her immense joy, and she felt she had nothing to fear as long as Rama was by her side. In the spring, the forest was especially enchanting. Sita, Rama, and Laxman spent many happy years together in the forest and befriended many of the animals.

St Peter, Claydon, Suffolk
Claydon is a large village on the outskirts of Ipswich. Its medieval parish church was declared redundant in 1977. This was a time when a number of churches were made redundant with a speculative view to a sale. It was assumed that planning permission for conversion to a house would be easily obtained. Often, these sales failed to materialise, but the Diocese refused to allow local trusts or charities to take their care on for no financial return.
Claydon was one of these, and the writer Derek Mortlock quotes from the Redundant Churches Fund report for 1987: Within sight of new housing and burgeoning prosperity the diocese left this historic church to rot for eleven years while attempts to find an alternative use came to nothing. It is one of the most conspicuous cases of neglect we have come across.
In the end, bad publicity shamed the Diocese into allowing the church to be vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Today, the church is beautifully cared for by local people, but eleven years of abandonment have taken their toll. Incidentally, it may seem extraordinary that the parish church for a village of 6,000 people should be declared redundant, but there is another medieval church in the hamlet of Barham on the outskirts of Claydon which is larger, with a bigger graveyard, and which was considered at the time less saleable.
St Peter, Claydon, is one of the great forgotten 19th century rebuildings. In style and substance it looks the work of an amateur Pugin, which is pretty much the truth. The vicar for most of the second half of the 19th century was Father George Drury, one of the great High Church eccentrics. So often in Suffolk, we see the fruits of Anglo-catholicism in their early 20th century ascendancy, as at Kettlebaston and Lound. Here at Claydon, we see evidence a movement beseiged, in the struggles of half a century earlier. Drury suffered attacks on his person, property and reputation. The convent he established was broken into by a mob, who 'rescued' a nun and carted her off to a lunatic asylum, where she was incarcerated under the orders of her father. She stayed there until he died. Drury's rectory suffered so many assaults that he was forced to build a nine-foot wall around it, which soon became covered with anti-catholic slogans.
It has to be said that 'Firm Father George' rose to the challenge with enthusiasm. In the 1870s, 50 years before such things became acceptable, his congregation would parade through Claydon with banners of the Blessed Virgin flying, kneeling down with them in a field while singing the Ave Maria. High Mass was accompanied by incense, vestments and candles. The local protestants were scandalised beyond belief; supported by popular opinion and the low church Bishop of Norwich, they hatched plot after plot against him. The most famous of these was the Akenham Burial Case, which led to a change in national burial laws.
The major rebuilding here was by worthy enthusiast R.M. Phipson, the diocesan architect, under Drury's direction, for the Drury family also presented to the living. This was not unusual, of course; many landed families held the patronage of their local church, and often presented a younger son to it. But by the second half of the 19th century, it was becoming less common, as younger sons preferred the opportunities for advancement out in the Empire. It survived only where the family embraced evangelical or Tractarian ideals; for them, the nature of the priesthood had a somewhat higher status. As well as the Drurys of Claydon, a similar situation existed with the Sucklings at Barsham.
Drury's great secular passion was carving. He produced much work here in wood and stone; the pulpit is his, as are many of the little details on roof and walls. The rest, by Phipson's man Henry Ringham, were under Drury's direction.
This work is an extremely early ritualist makeover, dating from the 1850s. Newman had crossed the Tiber barely 5 years before, and the Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus of the reredos must have caused a few racing pulses. The interior is all Drury's, including much of the glass, and the whole thing is an extraordinary memorial to the man.
The interior suffered greatly during the years or abandonment - for example, of the large four evangelist carvings under the crossing, only St Mark survives, and the stained glass is still peppered with holes from stones thrown by the descendants of those who had stoned Drury himself a century before.
Drury was an all-round handyman. He had a brick kiln of his own in the garden, and also built large flint walls in a medieval style around his vegetable garden, using tracery from the ruined church at Thurleston, a mile or so off.
His funeral in 1895 was carefully documented by 'ritualism-watchers', who noted the robed choir, the cross carried in procession, the incense and the sign of the cross. Drury would have been amazed that his position would have been fairly mainstream by the 1930s; less so, perhaps, by its rapid retreat today. His large grave is guarded by railings in the south-east corner of the churchyard, beneath the great yew. For one moment there, one forgets the surrounding suburbia of bungalows and semi-detacheds, the modern High School across the road, the new housing estate. Here, the 19th century still exists.
And then, back down to the village centre. At the bottom of the hill, a group of new houses is called Drury Road. A rather mundane memorial to one of the Church of England's great loose canons.

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love - so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about - not that we once upon a time loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.

On January 11, 2019, for the ninth year running, I was in Washington, D.C. for the annual vigil outside the White House calling for the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, on the anniversary of its opening. On January 11 this year, the prison had been open for 17 unforgivably long years — unforgivable because it is completely unacceptable for a country like the US, which claims to respect the rule of law, to hold prisoners indefinitely without charge or trial, as is the case at Guantanamo. And, of course, the situation has been particularly intolerable since Donald Trump became president, because he has no intention of releasing anyone under any circumstances, and, fundamentally, exercises complete power over the prisoners, who, this year, I described as his personal prisoners.
This photo shows Debra Sweet, the national director of the World Can’t Wait (who was also involved in establishing RefuseFascism.org after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 Presidential election), and political blogger The Talking Dog.
The vigil was organized by over a dozen rights groups including Amnesty International USA, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Close Guantanamo (which I co-founded in 2012 with the US attorney Tom Wilner), the Justice For Muslims Collective, the World Can’t Wait and Witness Against Torture, whose campaigners fast in the run-up to the anniversary and hold actions across the capital dressed in the orange jumpsuits seen here.
