Kandahar City, Afghanistan 5 November 2010
Traffic at the streets of Kandahar City
A Canadian Armoured Heavy Support Vehicle System drives through Kandahar City, Afghanistan, on route to a forward installation in the Panjwa’i District to deliver supplies. The vehicle stands out next to the small motorcycles and bikes that dominate the streets of Kandahar City.
Joint Task Force Afghanistan is providing support to Afghan security forces, enabling them to build and sustain a secure environment in which civilian leadership and government representatives will be able to – through district-level meeting and tribal shuras – implement governance.
Operation ATHENA is Canada’s participation in the International Security Assistance Forces in Afghanistan. Focused on Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan since the fall of 2005, Op ATHENA has one over-arching objective: to leave Afghanistan to Afghans, in a country that is better governed, more peaceful and more secure.

Kandahar, Afghanistan 5 novembre 2010
Circulation dans les rues de la ville de Kandahar
Un véhicule de soutien blindé lourd canadien roule dans les rues de Kandahar, en Afghanistan, en direction d’un poste avancé du district de Panjwai pour y livrer des fournitures. Ce véhicule ne passe certes pas inaperçu dans les rues de Kandahar, où la grande majorité de la population s’y déplace en motocyclette ou en bicyclette.
La Force opérationnelle interarmées en Afghanistan fournit un appui aux forces de sécurité afghanes pour les aider à établir et à maintenir un environnement sécuritaire afin que les dirigeants civils et les représentants gouvernementaux puissent tenir des réunions de district et des chouras tribales en vue d’établir une structure de gouvernance.
L’opération Athena constitue la participation du Canada à la Force internationale d’assistance à la sécurité (FIAS) en Afghanistan. Concentrée dans la province de Kandahar, dans le sud de l’Afghanistan, depuis l’automne 2005, l’opération Athena poursuit un objectif essentiel : laisser l’Afghanistan aux Afghans et en faire un pays mieux gouverné, plus paisible et plus sûr.

Here Board members of our delivery partner delight over a couple of “Teddies for Tragedies” – proving what its website says: “Teddies for Tragedies is not a charity, it is a knitting pattern… hundreds of thousands of teddies have been knitted and given to charities and volunteers to bring a smile to children” [and to plenty of adults, too!].
Some volunteers knit them, some take them to disadvantaged children – anyone interested in doing either should visit: www.teddiesfortragedies.org.uk.
TAO Trustee, Jim Rattray, has taken dozens of Teddies with him for children in Uganda through his involvement with Guildford Mukono Link, which connects the communities in Guildford, UK, and Mukono, Uganda. Through this he has also taken to Uganda many musical instruments – for which the Teddies provide excellent padding during travel!

Gold Medal Plates 2009 photos by Ron Sombilon Gallery
GMP OVERVIEW
Gold Medal Plates is the ultimate celebration of Canadian Excellence in cuisine, wine, entertainment and athletic achievement. Celebrating in six cities across Canada in 2009, Gold Medal Plates will feature superb wines and the premier chefs in each city, paired with Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes, in a competition to crown a gold, silver and bronze medal culinary team in each city, and subsequently nation-wide.
Founded in 2003, the goal of Gold Medal Plates is to raise substantial funds for Canada's high performance athletes, while celebrating Canadian excellence. Since 2004, this event has received tremendous support and accolades all across Canada, and generated a combined net total of $2.8 million for Canada's Olympic and Paralympic athletes!
"Behind them, men in the traditional costume of the homosexual, the Stetson, the dungarees and the pink top, are preparing for the traditional line dance, which marks the ceremonies conclusion."
Surprisingly, hoisting that baby up on to the cake board and riser went well. I only had a mild heart attack when I realized one of my wheel wells had collapsed a bit. Now on to make the tires.
Premier John Horgan, Minister Selina Robinson and MLA Spencer Chandra-Herbert announce a new rental supplement, which will help households by offering up to $500 a month towards their rent, building on federal and provincial financial supports already announced for British Columbians facing financial hardship.

WIPO Director General Daren Tang (third from left) outlined further action on gender equality in Chile.
Addressing a National Institute of Intellectual Property (INAPI) event on Intellectual Property (IP) and Gender, he pledged to continue to work together to raise IP awareness and break down gender barriers in Chile and beyond, telling attendees, "Our goal is not to be a talk shop that operates in far-away Geneva, our mission is to deliver real impact in Chile, across the region, and around the world.”
As part of the event, Mr. Tang met Patricia Barros (second from right), CEO of Soquimat, and one of 32 beneficiaries of a WIPO program in support of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) careers.
The event took place during an official visit to Chile.

Ambassador Shapiro brought messages of support and appreciation to the residents of the Eshkol Regional Council in a visit on the eve of Hanukah. The Ambassador met with Mayor Haim Jelin, visited with students at the high school, and toured Kibbutz Sufa, where he witnessed two houses that were hit by rockets fired from Gaza during the recent conflict. Ambassador Shapiro stressed America’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, highlighted US support for the Iron Dome, and, in the spirit of Hanukah, reflected on the “nes gadol she haya sham” in the Kibbutz that no one was killed or injured
Acid Survivors Charity (ASC), Socio Health And Rehabilitation Programme (SHARP), Sirajgonj.
Neela (left) was married in 2006 aged 14. There was no dowry payment involved. She went to live with her in laws but while she was there overheard her husband saying to his parents that marrying her was a bad decision as he received no dowry payment. She overheard the decision that her husband would traffic her to Saudi Arabia where he worked. When confronting her husband he threw acid over her face and body. She had six months of treatment, still managed to pass her exams and was then brought to ASN to receive support. She now lives with her family in Siraganj. Her husband was arrested and given the death penalty in early 2009. However, he was imprisoned for just one year and now walks free.
‘I am Neela.
I think being a girl, the best thing is nowadays girls’ position in society has improved a lot and we can do many things. At the same time, the worst thing is because it is a male dominated society, even though women have advanced a lot, they are still oppressed and neglected. Side by side, the message I want to convey, as a girl, is that I want for girls to change their minds and go ahead. In my life, I want to continue my studies and graduate. After graduation I want to have a good job.
My name is Neela. I am ActionAid’.
The Acid Survivors Network was formed in 2006 in Sirajganj, Bangladesh to help the victims of Acid Violence. Acid attacks are a form of violent assault, often linked to ‘honour’ in parts of Asia. Acid is readily available and used in the garments trade in areas of Bangladesh where acid violence is inherently more rife. Poor women are usually the victims of these domestic attacks perpetrated as revenge for refusal of marriage, sexual advances, dowry payment or land disputes. The ASN not only helps with the physical challenges such as legal aid and medical assistance, but also assists with the psychological challenges that arise from fear of prejudice and stigma in the community. Victims are provided with a safe place to stay, develop life skills, attend group counselling sessions and actively campaign to enforce acid laws and build awareness. ActionAid is assisting the ASN through its partner organisation SHARP (‘Socio Health and Rehabilitation Programmes).

Despite being from Suffolk. OK, I was born in Norfolk, supported Norwich all my life, but I cannot ignore the fact that Lowestoft is inside the county border of Suffolk. No, despite being from Suffolk, I have never been to the Dedham Vale.
Well, apart from one time when I took the folks to Flatford Mill, and that is as constable as it gets.
So, I got the idea of spending a few days in East Anglia, see some churches, meet some friends and in Norfolk, maybe see a Kingfisher.
I wrote a list out, but the 'must see' was Stoke-by-Nayland.
So, after the slight detour to Boxted, I drove the few miles to Stoke, I saw the church tower from some distance away. I found a place to park near the short lane leading to the church. Right, should be good.
Then I saw the van parked outside the porch, but that would not be a problem, would it? But it did. The lighting company who were installing stage lights near the altar looked professional, and were just standing around talking when I went in. Can I get through here please? I asked. No, we're busy. But you're just talking, I won't be long. But we might hit you on the head!
In the end he relented but stated that he would not be held responsible for any accidents. It left a sour taste in my mouth to be honest, but the glory of the church more than made up for the rudeness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps only St Peter and St Paul at Lavenham has a grander exterior than this mighty ship. But Lavenham's setting is thoroughly domesticated. Here, in the wild hills above the Dedham Vale, St Mary lifts its great red tower to heaven, and nothing can compare with it.
John Constable loved this tower, and it appears several times in his paintings, not always in the right place. Simon Jenkins, in England's 1000 Best Churches, says that when the bells of Stoke-by-Nayland ring, all Suffolk stops to listen. All Essex too, perhaps, since this church is right on the border between the two counties.
St Mary is pretty much all of a piece, in the 15th century, although there are some older bits, and a great deal of rather undistinguished 19th century work. But the glory of the church is the red brick tower, completed about 1470 and surmounted by stone spires, reminiscent of Bungay St Mary, away on Suffolk's northern borderland. There are fine views of this from many places, and from many miles away. Close to, it is immense; Stoke by Nayland is, after all, a small village rather than a town, and the setting of cottages only enhances the sense that this tower is enormous. The buttresses are laced with canopied image niches - how amazing it must have looked before the 16th century reformers removed all the statues! Tendring and Howard shields flag up the dead people we'll meet inside.
On the north side there is a dinky little Tudor porch (although it would be rather more imposing against a smaller church); but the south porch, which is the main entrance, is rather more of a curiosity. It was entirely refaced by the Victorians, and at first sight you might even think it 19th century, but the windows and corbels reveal to be one of the earliest parts of the church, an early 14th century addition to the building that was then replaced in the late 15th century. There are two storeys, and the parish library is still kept in the upper one. The corbels include an Annunciation, and what may be Moses. There are images below; hover to read captions, and click on them to see enlarged.
A serious distraction from all this is straight ahead of you. St Mary has the best late 15th century doors in Suffolk, eclipsing even Otley. The figures are remarkable; they stand proud of Gothic turrets and arches. They seem to represent a Tree of Jesse, effectively Christ's family tree, with Mary at the top and ancestors back into Old Testament times beneath. I think the figures in the border are disciples and apostles - in which case I could identify St Paul with his sword (although it might be St Bartholomew with his flencing knife) and St John the Evangelist. Medieval doors haven't survived at all widely in East Anglia, and it is exciting to see them at such close quarters.
Preserve the illusion of the medieval one moment longer. Step through the doorway, and turn immediately to the west. The tower arch is superb, a soaring void that lifts to roof level. The fine font on its huge pedestal seems tiny in such an open setting. The parish has done well in removing all the furnishings from the west end. This is quality work, on a cathedral scale. This vastness swallows all sound. The font stands in tiny isolation, although it is actually on a massive Maltese cross pedestal and would dwarf furnishings in many smaller churches.
The font is curious, to say the least. Four of the panels show conventional evangelistic symbols, but three of the other four are unfamiliar. One is an angel, but the others are a woman in a cowl carrying a scroll beside a tree, a man with a sack pointing to a book open on a shelf, and a man with a scroll at a lectern. The iconography is unfamiliar; I wondered if they might be representations of Doctors of the Church. Click on the images to enlarge them.
Looking up, you'll see that several 15th century corbels survived the Victorian restoration. One on the northside shows a ram caught in a thicket from the Abraham and Isaac story, and opposite it is a pelican in her piety. Images are in the left hand column. The splendid glass in the west window is by the O'Connors, and it may detain you for a moment, but eventually you must turn eastwards and realise that, from here, St Mary is all pretty much all Victorian inside. It is done well, it is well-kept and well-used, but it is all a bit dull I am afraid. You can't help thinking that the minister has a much better view than the congregation.
A couple of points of interest in the nave are an unusual memorial board for dead children - In Memory of Our Children Now With Jesus it says - which I liked very much, and a north chapel, now set out for weekday services and private prayer, that was an early 14th century chantry chapel for the Peyton family. A little ikon sits above the simple altar.
The church has two large memorials, one in the south chancel chapel and the other in the north chancel chapel. The one to the south is to Lady Anne Windsor, originally one of the Waldegraves who we have met at Bures, who died in 1615. Her alabaster effigy lies between her two daughters who kneel at her head and her son at her feet.
Across the chancel lies Sir Francis Mannock, 1634. It is believed to be by Nicholas Stone. The Mannocks were a recusant family of Giffords Hall, who were responsible for the survival of the old faith throughout the penal years at Withermarsh Green. There is an image of him in the column on the left.
Curiously, Sir Francis's wife Dorothea does not lie with him, but under a brass set in the floor not far away. It is offset by an architectural niche. Mortlock thought Stone may have been responsible for this as well, and it certainly suggests that the Renaissance did not entirely bypass protestant England. There are several other brasses, including a substantial one near the priest door to Sir William Tendring, one of the donors of the 15th century rebuilding. I do like the jolly lion at his feet. Don't miss the chrysom child engraved on a nearby ledger stone. His grim-faced wife Katherine lies nearby, and Mortlock points out how remarkable it is to see a figure of this period wearing rings.
The full drama of St Mary is best appreciated from a distance. But there is much here that makes a visit worthwhile, many of them apparently understated survivals that would shout in your face in a smaller church. I decided I liked St Mary a lot after all, and silently commended the parish for not installing one of those awful craft shops familiar from other large Suffolk churches. I stepped outside to the sound of a village football match immediately to the north of the graveyard. Very A E Houseman.

Greater Manchester Police supported Key 103’s Cash For Kids Superhero Day (Friday 13 May) last week with a series of fundraising activities across the Force.
Staff raised funds all week by paying to take part in workshops including Zumba, belly-dancing and reiki, holding cake sales and a raffle and donning their superhero costumes for a special dress down day.
The Force also donated an experience for the charity benefiting from Superhero Day ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’. The charity arranges experiences described as ‘wishes’ to children with life-threatening medical conditions and GMP has donated a tour around the Force should any child dream of living the life of an officer for the day.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “We’re truly honoured to have been able to support such an important day and it was great to see so many of our staff and officers taking part in fundraising across the Force.
“These children and their families are an inspiration and to be able to give them an experience to cherish forever is just a small part of what we can do to help them in their time of need.”
The Force played its part on the day with traffic officers escorting the superhero convoy and members of the Tactical Aid Unit assisting the youngster’s in the rescue of DJ Mike Toolan and the Wish Fairy who had been held captive by Darth Vader in Albert Square.
