Margam Park is a remarkably diverse and varied landscape within which there is evidence of over 4,000 years of continuous habitation and use by man and as such represents a rare and valuable learning resource and a heritage attraction of considerable distinction. It is of exceptional historic and scenic value and has some of the country’s finest architectural treasures in its magnificent setting
The 850 acre country estate situated two miles east of Port Talbot on the narrow coastal plain, set on the southern slopes of Mynydd Margam, a largely forested mountain rising to a height of 349m AOD, is one of the major ancient settlements of Glamorgan. It’s history can be traced back to pre-historic times, Bronze and Iron Age relics abound the area, and evidence exists of Roman and extensive Celtic occupation, the deer herd probably introduced by the Romans.
It has been a place of particular religious importance throughout it’s history. The Norman Abbey, founded in the mid 12th Century was, until its dissolution at the hands of Henry VIII, a religious centre of major importance in South Wales. The remains of the Abbey are extensive, the ruined Chapter House being of exceptional architectural quality.
Following the Dissolution, successive owners built and rebuilt their houses on the Abbey site. The surviving buildings form a unique record of its historical and architectural development. In the late 18th century considerable redevelopment took place, the area was laid out on classical lines as parkland and the famous Orangery built which remains one of the largest and most outstanding buildings of its kind in the country.
In the early 19th century the park was further enhanced and extended and the present Margam Castle was built. This Tudor ‘style’ Mansion remained in use until the end of the second world war, and the ensuing quarter of a century of neglect took its toll and the building was in a badly deteriorated condition when acquired by the present owners.
The Park was officially opened to the public in 1977 since which some four million people have visited to enjoy the countryside, gardens and heritage; for environmental education and to use the facilities socially.

Reminders/Disclaimers
I am not interested in telling other people what to eat. However, I realize that I enjoy and can sustain a real food, healthy fat, low carbohydrate eating pattern quite easily, with good results.
While I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic, I'm awed by the ability of the human body to regulate itself and the ability of humans in which regulation is compromised to achieve their life goals.

Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021)] it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.
Foundries producing medium to very large volumes of castings on high-speed molding lines demand large volumes of prepared sand and maximum productivity from the sand plant. The Simpson Multi-Mull is specifically designed to provide medium to very large volumes of high-quality molding sand on a continuous basis and utilizes the same effective mulling technique as the Simpson Mix-Muller.
Well, we have completed our 54th annual visit to Thirsk by the ‘old boys’ of the Hull Grammar and Wolfreton schools railway societies. The early visits were attended by around a dozen ‘invited’ masters and pupils but today we had 3. I’m a ‘newcomer’ having been invited to attend the 3rd visit.
Fings ain’t what they used to be as the song goes. The view from the platforms is now greatly restricted, the trains pass a lot faster, there is a lot less freight, locomotives are a rarity.

Fortune of War, Sydney's Oldest Pub - The Rocks.
As the oldest continuously licensed public hotel in Sydney, the Fortune of War is embodied in the history of Sydney.
The bar has a “colourful” reputation, which includes being the first and last port of call for generations of Australian soldiers involved in theatres of conflict. The Fortune of War has a long term reputation as a popular “first and last stop ashore” for sailors and the troops of the Australian Armed Forces who were to experience the ‘fortune of the war’ when they departed Sydney Cove to defend their country.
The Fortune of War was originally built in 1828 by former convict Samuel Terry who later became known as the “Botany Bay Rothschild” due to his astute business dealings. Samuel Terry arrived in Australia in 1800 after being convicted of the theft of 400 stockings and sentenced to transportation for seven years.
After his sentence Terry moved to Sydney from Parramatta, became an innkeeper and received one of twenty liquor licences granted when they were being curtailed in 1810.
Tooth & Co, the brewery operating in Sydney since 1835, rebuilt the Fortune of War Hotel in 1921.
The Fortune of War has been used as a public house for 185 years.
Anzac Day
The Fortune of War has a long term reputation as a popular “first and last stop ashore” for sailors and the troops of the Australian Armed Forces who were to experience the ‘fortune of the war’ when they departed Sydney Cove to defend their country.
Members of the 2nd Mountain Battery have met every Anzac Day in The Fortune of War since 1948. The unit was formed in 1942 and served in Papua New Guinea from 1943. Following cessation of hostilities in the area they were posted to Japan with the British Occupation Force and later served in Vietnam and Malaysia.
The Fortune of War was suggested as a meeting place after each Anzac Day march by a battery veteran who was employed by the Maritime Services Board across the road from the hotel.
Although most of the battery are no longer with us, The Fortune of War continues to be an Anzac Day meeting place for many veterans and other Australians on one of the country’s most important days.

(Aquila verreauxii)
Verreaux's eagle (Aquila verreauxii) is a large African bird of prey. It is also called the black eagle, especially in Southern Africa, leading to potential confusion with the Indian black eagle (Ictinaetus malayensis), which lives in Asia. Verreaux's eagle lives in hilly and mountainous regions of southern and eastern Africa (extending marginally into Chad), and very locally in West Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the southern Middle East. It is one of the most specialized species of accipitrid in the world, with its distribution and life history revolving around its favorite prey species, the rock hyraxes. When hyrax populations decline, the species have been shown to survive with mixed success on other prey, such as small antelopes, gamebirds, hares, monkeys and other assorted vertebrates. Despite a high degree of specialization, Verreaux's eagle has, from a conservation standpoint, been faring relatively well in historic times. One population of this species, in the Matobo Hills of Zimbabwe, is arguably the best studied eagle population in the world, having been subject to continuous detailed study since the late 1950s. Like all eagles, this species belongs to the taxonomic order Accipitriformes (formerly included in Falconiformes) and the family Accipitridae, which may be referred to colloquially as accipitrids or raptors.

On Tuesday, December 16th 2014, Monckton Coke Works at Royston near Barnsley, the last remaining independent coke works in the UK, closed after 130 years continuous production.
Unable to compete with cheap Chinese imports, the owner of the plant, Hargreaves Services reluctantly decided that the facility was no longer financially viable and another significant part of Britain's industrial heritage vanished for ever.
I was privileged to be on site at 2pm on December 16th to witness 'the last push' as the plant's day shift emptied coke oven number 17, the last ever load of coke to be produced at this historic plant.
Standing in the yard alongside the plant's workers and ex-workers, there was a genuine sense of sadness, mingled with the usual co-worker banter, as they watched an industrial facility that had provided employment for them and their families for generations, consigned to the scrap heap.
Although Hargreaves Services have tried to find alternative employment for the plant's workforce, many of them face an uncertain future, in an area of already high employment and low wage jobs.
The 200,000 tonnes of high grade coke that the plant produced annually for the glass, detergent and steel making industries, will in future, have to be imported, adding to the country's balance of payments deficit.
Gas from the coke ovens was used in a combined heat and power plant that could generate 11 megawatts of electricity. Not only did this supply all the electricity needed on-site but also provided enough electricity to provide power for more than 1000 homes

Trends of interstitial continuous glucose monitoring in a physician without diabetes or pre-diabetes on a plant-free diet.
Interpretation: The CGM shows extremely tight normal glucose control while eating a mostly plant-free (carnivore) diet, with no excursions with the exception of exercise, which is a normal response in a person who is fat-adapted due to muscle glucose-intolerance in these individuals. This is normal and does NOT indicate insulin resistance, the dawn effect, or blood glucose response to food (most workouts were done fasting).

Birthed out of EYMS route 6 on Sunday the 27th of July 1986 in the run-up to deregulation on, after nearly 40 years of continuous service, at long last, the 66 is dead: long live the 58! Referring back to the November service changes announcement, the most significant of East Yorkshire's service revisions comes in the form of multiple routes being renumbered to create an 'Anlaby Road Lines' network. The logic, so speculation goes, is that Hull City Council wants a group of routes so that passengers can easily get any bus that comes to and from Anlaby Road, staying on at their own whim to the ultimate destination. To me, even if I have my reservations about the 66, I see the idea in theory, but it feels like a bit of unnecessary meddling from the council. The 66 is a recognised route, after all! The 58 just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Seen as November visibly draws in - and such, so does Remembrance season - at Hessle Square, East Yorkshire's 764 (or 20764 as it will likely be in new money), a 2009 Volvo B9TL Wright Gemini 2, takes on passengers ahead of another run on a 66 back to Hull Interchange.
