Guests participate in F-AIR 2017 in Rionegro, Colombia, July 14, 2017. United States military participation in the air show provides an opportunity to strengthen our military-to-military relationships with regional partners and provides the opportunity to meet with our Colombian air force counterparts and facilitate interoperability, which can be exercised in future cooperation events such as exercises and training.

In partnership with Caritas Nepal, CRS provided 50-day trainings to masons with a focus on earthquake-resilient construction techniques. These masons then led teams of unskilled laborers or people who participated in a shorter training. Trained masons help ensure that houses will be more resilient in future earthquakes and that families will be eligible to receive all three tranches (installments) of reconstruction money from the government. The project put a special focus on training female masons and people from vulnerable groups.
Dambar Bahadur Sunar, 45, (wearing a baseball cap) has been an expert mason for years and added to his vast knowledge with CRS/Caritas Nepal’s 50-day mason training that focused on earthquake-resilient construction techniques. He’s currently employed by UNDP as a “mobile mason,” a master mason who visits a few construction sites in a day checking work and reinforcing good building practices with the full-time masons on the job. His favorite part of his work is when he can teach by doing, working alongside all levels of worker on the job site.
________________
In April and May 2015, two massive earthquakes struck Nepal. Over eight million of Nepal’s 28 million people were affected with nearly 2.6 million in urgent need of emergency shelter, water, food, medicines and reconstruction support. The Government of Nepal (GoN) declared a state of emergency and reported 8,891 deaths, 605,254 houses destroyed and 288,244 homes damaged. CRS is supporting the Nepal government’s recovery and rehabilitation efforts.
A 3-year multi-donor $11 M Gorkha Recovery and Resilience Project (GRRP) provides technical support for more than 20,000 households in reconstruction of earthquake resilient houses, livelihoods recovery and WASH. The majority of funding comes from CRS private funds, with additional support from LDSC and Caritas Canada (Development and Peace), Caritas Spain and Caritas Austria.
Thanks to all who came out to the University of Alberta's Careers Day on Sept 26, 2012. It was great meeting you, answering your questions, and sharing our story with you. Thanks for taking your time to get to know us. We look forward to seeing you again in future.

Essential Travel Only - Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin March 2021
“Take one day, rest a while, and pretend the world is just for you"
“They could do with a bench here” - Lewis Greifer
Sometimes I do things I don't fully understand. Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin remains top of the list.
Sat at a table at Thurrock Services some years ago, sometime around 5am, Gimpo couldnt work out how many years and how many M25 25 Hour spins he had done, or planned to do. I sat and listened as Tim told him to count on his fingers: 1997 was Spin year #1. Spin year #25 would be 2021. Gimpo looked utterly confused by it all.
The plan this year was to plant a bench to mark 25 years of Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin. “Benches are about functionality: they need to be used. Unlike a gravestone, a bench shows that somehow you’re still part of the world, you have a purpose and a function.”
But this year, like last, was a global pandemic and respect had to be shown to anyone who may have lost friends, family and loved ones. We all masked up and met outside on the tarmac in the main carpark at Thurrock Services, between J30 and J31 off the M25.
This year was assembled under the guidelines of "Essential travel, for work purposes only." There will be more spins in future to make up for lost time, but for now, the memorial bench had to be planted. On the M25 Gimpo is the artist, and he had decided the bench was going in by any means necessary, safety first, of course.
Gimpo was very excited about his new Van, it was leaking water but other than that it was in good shape. It was a classic Ford Transit panel van which he had bought online a few days ago from someone in Worcester.

AKHIL BHARTIYA VIDVARTHI PARISHAD .
22103/2000 .
Friends, .
The Vidyarthi Parishad strongly condemns the killing of 7 dalits i~ Karnataka last wee~ and that of 36 sikhs 1n Kashmir on Monday. Both these massacres are a matter of collective shame for the nat1on and we demand that the govt. not only bring the perpetrators of these dastardly massacres to justice, but also take concrete and .
positive steps to prevent the recurrence of such atrocities in future. .
Caste violence has become the bane of the present-day Indian society. While on the one hand, the previous few years have witnessed violent caste clashes in Bihar, the recent burning alive of 7 dalits in Karnataka has shook the nation, on the other. It has been alleged that the police force deployed in the area was removed before this gruesome massacre took place. In this context, it Is important to note that the.. SC/ST (Preven~ion of Atrocities) Act, 1989, has not been effectively implemented even till today. This Act prov1ded fo.r the s~~tmg up of special Court by each state to look into atrocities committed against the SC/STs, but so far th1s prov1s1on has been reduced in all states to a mere ritual. It is unfortunate that every police officers have not been adequately educated about this Act and its provisions. One to these lapse, this-Act has been confined to little more than an eye wash. We demand that the NDA govt. take active steps to ensure that the Act, which was introduced for a noble cause, is able to do justice to the deprived sections of our society. .
Friends, it is our duty to stand unitedly against the caste violence which is plaguing our nation. Not only does this kind of violence create had blood among different sections of our society, but it also hits most adversely the poorest of the poor. The first step towards building a strong nation is to put our own house in order, to ensure that the poor and deprived sections of our society are able to lead a secure and dignified life. .
The brutal murder of 36 sikhs in Kashmir has opened our-eyes once again to the threat of Islamic fundamentalism that looms large over our subcontinent. Just three months after the hijacking of the IC814 flight, this incident comes as another reminder of the subversive designs of the forces which want to undermine our territorial integrity. It is time such forces were crushed with an iron hand. The 'ethnic cleansing' bid of the fundamentalists in Kashmir has to be defeated. We note with concern that even 1 Y2 years after the announcement by L.K. Advani that proactive measures be taken to defeat Islamic terrorism in Kashmir, the incidents of killing of innocent people are increasing day in and day out. The government should understand that such threats to our sovereignty can be eliminated only by round-the-clock vigilance and 'hot pursuit' and destruction of terrorist camp in PoK, and not by rhetorical speeches or a mere increase on paper, in the Defence Budget. These Incidents also call for a reappraisal of Article 370 of the Const1tut1on .
While welcoming President Clinton to India, we take this opportunity to point out that the excessive media hype created over a normal diplomatic visit by a Head of State does not reflect well on our national dignity and self-~steem, and only shows that the liberal media in this country is still dominated by 'Macaulayans'. At the same tme, ~he Left has got even r:'<?re isolated. and consigned to the fringes of our national polity by foolishlyoppos1.ng and boycotting the VISit and creatmg a parallel hype. When we have welcomed all foreign visitors to our so1l, when we had welcomed successive Soviet leaders even in the heyday of Soviet imperialism, when we had welcomed previous US Presidents, there is no reason why President Clinton should suddenly become an 'untouchable' for us. While criticising US imperialist policies, it is intriguing that the Left has always shut its ey~s towards Sov.iet imp~rialist invasions, whether in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland or Afghanistan, and to Chmese colon1sat10n of T1bet and even large swathes of Indian territory adjacent to Tibet. All these do not serve to whitewash to US, but only go on to show that in international relations the only guiding principle is one's supreme national interest. If Communist imperialism and colonialism have not prevented us in building relations with Russia or even China, there is no reason why the US should be singled out. Both Western imperialism and Communist expansionism are two sides of the same coin and Communists in India only end up discrediting .
themselves when they criticise one but act as agents and pall-bearers of the other. Though we are looking .
forward to some constructive discussions with Clinton on issues of mutual interest, there must be no question of .
coming under pressure on any issue which affects our national sovereignty. We must take our own stand on .
CTBT, on induction of nuclear weapons in our atmed forces, on WTO provisions, etc. guided solely and .
supremely by our long-term national interest. Indo-US friendship on the basis of equality and respect for each .
other's concerns will be beneftcial for both the nations. .

I love this dress so much! I might have to buy a few more like it in future... ^_^ I think it was made for Fashion Royalty, and they must be tall, because it's very long on Pullips!
Storm Lillian did her worse over Thursday night, blowing a right hoolie.
Winds were still strong at dawn, but nothing to give much of a thought about, so that when Jools dropped me off at the station, I went into the greasy spoon for a bacon and sausage butty and a brew. And then sat on the low wall to eat and drink, knowing I had half an hour to kill as the train had just left.
So I thought.
Storm Lillian had, in fact, brought a tree down on the line near Sittingbourne, and a train had hit it, so that al services were backed up, and I wasn't going to get to Canterbury East. But as the name suggests, there is another station in the city, though no direct trains from Dover to Canterbury West now.
Instead I caught a train north through Deal and Sandwich to Ramsgate, which was uneventful, if overlong due to the rambling nature of the line north of Richborough.
At Ramsgate, having just missed a high speed service, we waited.
For half an hour a Charing Cross service was "at Dumpton Park", but never arrived, so that it was the next high speed service we all piled onto.
A 15 minute run along the Stour Valley brought me to the city, where half the population with suitcases were waiting to get on.
I slipped off, but instead of going straight to the city, I turned left to the Goods Shed, an artisan market to check out whether there was guanciale.
They had some, and at half the price in Borough Market, so I made plans that either Jools or I would go back later to buy a hunk at only £2.60/Kg.
What I did notice too, was the eatery had just opened up, and were selling bubble and squeak with a variety of toppings. So I found myself ordering a second breakfast of bubble topped with chorizo and scrambled egg, along with the best coffee I have had for a long while.
That was better, now to face the naked city!
The long, dark and empty days of COVID are behind us, and although the streets were not packed, there were groups following guides, and it felt normal.
The reason for being here was the first ever public opening of the Corona Tower and then the chance to climb the 87 steps to the roof, for panoramic views of the city and surrounding downs.
Just one tour a day, with limited numbers, so I wanted to make sure my name was on the list. I got to the cathedral at five past ten, and was indeed the first name on the list, though a decision on whether the rooftop visit would go ahead depended on the winds dropping.
I went round the cathedral one more time, rattling of a couple of hundred shots, going down the crypt and around the Apse.
A short walk away is St Paul Without, which was open. So I went in to take some shots, I think I was there a couple of years back and was recognised in the guise of my Facebook avatar and name.
My main reason for heading out here, and another half mile further one, was the former church of St Gregory, now a music venue for the University.
Not sure what to expect really, but a Victorian knapped flint church with a small bellcote at the west end. All locked up and undergoing some work inside.
No one about, so I took my shots and left the way I came, walking back over the inner ringroad towards the city centre and maybe an open pub.
At midday, or just past, I was at the door of the Thomas Backet pub for a swifter. The landlord's two dogs made me feel very welcome.
The sun had got out and was warm outside, so I stayed inside for a second beer, and then they put their new house ale on, Troublesome Priest, named after the curse of King John of Thomas Becket. Its a dark best bitter, and very drinkable.
Three pints in, I thought I had better stop and go to meet up with Jools. The cathedral called to let me know the tour was on, so all was good.
I booked a table at a BBQ place for later, bought Jools a cider as she was parched, whereas I was well hydrated.
At quarter to three, I walked back to the cathedral, and was entertained by a choir while I waited. Their voices filled the huge space of the Nave, spinetingling stuff.
At half three, I met the guide at the lectern in the Quire, five others joined in to. So, after introductions, we walked to the Chapel at the very east of the Cathedral.
The public can look in the chapel, but have never been allowed inside, so this was a rare chance.
We swapped stories and news, me pointing out that the guide should really go to Nackington to see the ancient glass there, glass that gives the cathedral a good run for its money with the oldest stained glass in the country.
Then, time to climb to to roof of the chapel. An ancient door was unlocked, and beyond, medieval steps, unworn by many feet, so looking almost new, lead up and round.
Two glass doors look out onto the Quire, but are left dirty so people don't linger on the stairs to look. So, up and up, round and round, until the steps straighten up and with one last double-height step, we were out on the roof.
Not the very top of the cathedral: the roof of the Chancel rose to the west, and the central tower behind that, and in the distance, the two western tower just showed.
We look down on the city: a party in the grounds of the posh school nearby, the hustle of the streets and shops, and beyond, ground rose on all sides to the north Downs.
For half an hour we lingered and soaked the warm in.
Time ran out, so back down. With the first huge step a doosie, but once over that, just round and round, down and down until we were back in the Chancel, with the last visitors of the day looking in surprise as we emerged from the cathedral walls.
Jools was in the Thomas Becket, as was my colleague Peter. They were two beers up on me. Or Peter was. Jools would be driving, so she had the one cider.
The pub is city centre, but down a side street, so is good, but quieter than it might otherwise be. And their beer is good, which helps, and the food, if you eat there, very good indeed.
We talk for an hour, then walk to the smokehouse, which turned out not to be a smokehouse, but a fast food place, opposite the grand entrance to King's School. They di platters for us, and was pretty good, and not too pricey either.
Then back to the Thomas Becket for "one last beer", and more chatting.
Jools lead me to the car, as my health app ticked over 18,000 steps. I was pooped and ready to go home for a cuppa before bed.
The city was just waking up, as bright and beautiful young things tumbled out of cars for a night in the clubs and bars, just beginning their fun just as we were finishing up.
Out through Windcheap and onto the A2, a cruise in the gloaming back to Dover.
Needless to say, the cats were very pleased/annoyed to see us just after nine. So we fed them, fussed over them. Jools made a brew and I checked my shots, charged the battery ready for Saturday and another fine day out planned.

Why ‘St. Paul’s without the Walls’? The word ‘without’ once meant ‘outside’. This Church was built ‘without’ (outside) the city walls now just across the ring road. We refer to it here also as just ‘St. Paul’s’.
The origins of St. Paul's Church and the reason for its existence lie in the proximity of the ruins of the Abbey (now called St. Augustine’s). It is believed that it was built as a chapel by the abbey for local people and overseen by them as a place of worship and instruction.
In 1300 however there was a controversy between the Abbey and the Archbishop in regard to the right to present a priest to the ‘living’ (install a priest paid to minister here).
The Archbishop seems to have won. Parishioners had the right to be buried in the Abbey cemetery and in 1591 a burial area was created in Longport (now closed and since 1951 an open space at the bottom of St. Martin’s Hill).
Sometime in the last quarter of the 13th century the Church was enlarged eastwards creating the space now occupied by our organ ( built in 1901).
In the organ space and sadly no longer visible there is another piscina and a three tiered seat or sedilia for the priest and deacons.
A further extension took place around 1320 southwards creating a second larger aisle and a great east window. The south wall was pulled down to be replaced by purbeck marble pillars and a further wall.
Dissolution of the Monasteries c1540 had a serious economic effect on the City of Canterbury. The destruction of Thomas Becket’s tomb meant no more pilgrims and a great loss of income. In 1570 a Visitation (inspection by senior clergy) recorded that there were 90 houses in this Parish and 243 communicants. In 1681 St. Paul's was united with the ancient church of St. Martin.
The worshippers at St. Martin’s were ordered to view St. Paul’s as ‘their proper church’ (fortunately they seem to have stayed at St. Martins!) (Both parishes continued side by side until the 1970s when the Parish of St.
Martin & St. Paul was formed with one Parochial Church Council). By the early 19th Century St. Paul’s was described as ‘a small, mean building’ and in poor repair. All that would change with the advent of William Chesshyre!
The print of St. Paul's in 1828 shows a rather shabby building in a busy street. In 1842 William John Chesshyre arrived as Parish Priest. He was a wealthy man who resided in his mother’s house at Barton Court (now Barton Court Grammar School on St. Martin’s Hill/Longport).
Chesshyre died in his fifties in 1859 but in his seventeen years in the Parish he oversaw a dramatic extension and refurbishment of St. Paul's under George Gilbert Scott as well as the founding of St. Paul's School (closed and demolished in the 1960s).
The tower was substantially rebuilt and a third aisle built southwards creating the space we enjoy today. An elaborate altarpiece was created in the sanctuary with the choir seated in the traditional chancel under a decorated ceiling. A new font replaced the ancient one now stored in the Church cellar in three pieces. Whatever nave seating existed was replaced by pews provided under a national church scheme to help clergy pew their churches.
n 1985 Canon Reg Humphriss oversaw a reordering (programme of interior changes) project that brought the altar forward, removed the altarpiece and moved the choir to the north aisle. The font was also moved from its traditional place at the back of the Church to its present position. This opening up of space reflected changes in worship patterns but it meant the loss of the chapel and the positioning of the choir rather close to the very powerful organ. In 2012-2013 a further reordering took place.
The key element of this was the replacement of the fixed pews with modern seating allowing creative use of space and the restoration of the chapel. New choir stalls enabled the choir to be positioned further from the organ. In line with current developments new technology has been installed including a screen that descends electronically from the tie beam over the chancel. The chancel itself was levelled and extended and recarpeted and new digital lighting installed. We are now able to offer traditional and innovative worship and welcome people to use the church for concerts and conferences using also the Parish Centre built in 2005.

ST. PAUL'S church stands on the south side of the street of that name, within the city liberty, at a small distance without Burgate, in the high road to Deal and Sandwich. It is a small mean building, consisting of two isles and two chancels, having a square tower at the west end, in which hang three bells. (fn. 207)
This church, like others in this city, of the patronage of the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, had no particular cemetery or church-yard of its own, but in like manner buried in the common cemetery within the precincts of that abbey; after the dissolution of which, being deprived of that privilege, the parish was obliged to resort for this purpose to the church-yards of other churches in the neighbourhood, until the year 1591, when having purchased a piece of ground on the south side of Longport-street, a saculty was that year obtained for confirming it as the burial place of this parish; as it remains at present.
This church was part of the antient possessions of the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, to which it was appropriated, and a vicarage erected and endowed in it in the year 1268, anno 52 Henry III. by Hugh Mortimer, the archbishop's official, with the consent of the patrons, and of Hamo Doge, then rector of it, who presented, with their consent likewise, Virgil de Alcham, chaplain, to the vicarage of it, who was by the said official instituted canonically to the same; saving nevertheless to Master Hamo, rector of it, and his successors, eight marcs of silver yearly, from the fruits of the vicarage, at the four principal feasts of the year, in equal portions; and that the vicar should pay the procurations of the archdeacon, and should sustain all other ordinary burthens; but that he should have and receive in the name of his vicarage, all obventions, oblations, chance payments, and all other rights to this church, in any manner belonging or appertaining (except grain and beans in the field) according to which, at that time the vicarage was taxed; sealed with the seal of the official's office, anno 1268. (fn. 208)
After which, the appropriation and advowson of the vicarage of this church continued with the abbot and convent, till the dissolution of the monastery in the 30th year of king Henry VIII.'s reign, (fn. 209) when they came into the king's hands, who soon afterwards, in his 33d year, settled them by his dotation charter, on his new-founded dean and chapter of Canterbury, who are the present possessors of this appropriation. But since the above time, by the mutual consent of the dean and chapter, and of the archbishop, patron of the adjoining rectory and church of St. Martin, this vicarage of St. Paul was in 1681 united to it; so that the patronage of these united churches is now become alternate in the archbishop, and the dean and chapter, (fn. 210) in which state it continues at present.
On the abolition of deans and chapters, at the latter end of king Charles I.'s reign, this rectory appropriate came into the hands of the state, and was surveyed by their order in 1650, when it was returned, that it consisted of the tithes of corn and hay, and other profits belonging to it, estimated to be worth 100l. per annum, being then let by the late dean and chapter, anno 1641, to George Best, gent. for twentyone years, at the yearly rent of five pounds, but that the premises were worth over and above the said rent 97l. and 7d. per annum. (fn. 211) On the restoration in 1660, this parsonage returned again to the dean and chapter, and in 1678 there was a terrier taken of it, (fn. 212) by which it appears, that it consisted of the tithes of the farm, then belonging to the earl of Winchelsea, in the occupation of John Sutton, containing by estimation, 120 acres, except the Hoath, which was bought heretosore of Mr. Smith, and was parcel of the manor of Barton; the tithes of twenty acres of wood-land; the tithes of twenty acres of land lying in Moate park, then in the occupation of William Ginder; the tithes of sixteen acres of land, lying within the park, late lord Camden's, and then of Edward Hales, esq. in the occupation of Wm. Holmes; the tithes of the farm called the Old Park, containing by estimation sixty acres of land, in the occupation of John Sutton; all the residue of the lands within the parish, were parcels of and belonging to the tithery of St. Laurence.
In the year 1594, Andrew Peerson, clerk, prebendary of Canterbury, died possessed of the interest in the lease of the parsonage barn of St. Paul's, commonly called Caldcott barn, with three acres of land about it. George Best, gent. was lessee of this parsonage, as above-mentioned, in 1650. He was owner of the house and estate of St. Laurence adjoining to it, in whose successors, owners of it, the lease of this parsonage continued down to the late lord viscount Dudley and Ward, whose tithery in this parish will be mentioned hereafter, in whose heirs the interest of it remains at this time.
This vicarage was antiently valued at 66s. 8d. only, but on account of the slenderness of its income, was not taxed to the tenth. (fn. 213)
It is valued in the king's books at 9l. 18s. 9d. and the yearly tenths at 19s. 10½d. (fn. 214) In 1588 here were one hundred and ninety-six communicants. In 1640 it was valued at forty pounds, the like number of communicants. There is paid to the vicar, by the dean and chapter of Canterbury, in lieu of tithes of land in St. Laurence, 5l. per annum, and another 5l. as an augmentation of the vicarage.
There is a terrier of the vicarage, dated in 1630, in the registry of the consistory court of Canterbury.
OF THE FOUNDATION of the hospital of St. Laurence, near this parish, in the year 1137, by Hugh, abbot of St. Augustine's, he granted to it, in alms, inter alia, as part of its endowment, THE WHOLE TITHE of wheat and peas of all the land, which adjoined to Langeport, of their demesne on the left side of the highway which led from Canterbury to Dover, which land was within this parish of St. Paul. These tithes, which consisted of those of the lands that were parcel of the manor of Barton, after the suppression of the hospital, came, with the rest of the revenues of it, into the hands of the several grantees and possessors of it, (fn. 215) as are mentioned hereafter, in the account of that hospital, who in succession became possessed of them down to John, viscount Dudley and Ward, and are usually known by the name of St. Laurence tithery; who, though he alienated the mansion of the hospital, with the lands contiguous to it, yet he retained the possession of this tithery, of which he died possessed in 1788, and his heirs are now entitled to it.
In the year 1348, in the visitation of Thomas Bradwardin, archbishop of Canterbury, on a complaint made by Thomas Carlton, vicar of St. Paul's before the archbishop's commissary; that all the small tithes of the manor belonging to the abbot, &c. of St. Augustine, vulgarly called Langeport, alias Barton, in St. Paul's, howsoever arising, to the said Thomas, as vicar, had belonged from old time, and ought then to belong, as well of right as custom; and that Tho mas Wardrobe, farmer of that manor had, to his great detriment, unjustly withdrawn, and held all manner of tithes of this kind. He therefore sitting to determine the same, and all parties having been summoned and appearing in Christ-church, on Sept. 27, anno 1349, and Richard Scholdon, monk of St. Augustine, and the master of St. Laurence's hospital, having then there produced to him certain muniments, which being diligently inspected and read over, it sufficiently appeared to him, that these tithes wholly belonged to the hospital, and ought in future so to do; he therefore proceeding lawfully in the said matter, at the instance and prayer of the said vicar, dismissed the said Thomas Wardrobe, farmer, as asoresaid, so far as related to the premises. In testimony of which, he had put his seal at Canterbury, on Dec. 10, in the year asoresaid. (fn. 216)
Charities
SIR HENRY PALMER, of Bekesborne, by his will in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, anno 1611, gave 10s to be yearly paid out of his manor of Well-court, to the minister and churchwardens of this parish, towards the relief of the poor of it.
SIR EDWARD MASTER, of Canterbury, by his will in 1690, gave 5l. towards the purchasing of a piece of ground for the enlargement of the church-yard, lying in the Borough of Longport, belonging to this parish of St. Paul; to be paid to the churchwardens of it, when they should have procured such piece of ground, adjoining to the church-yard, for that purpose.
On the uniting of this church, in 1681, to that of St. Martin, he was inducted the first to these united rectories. He died in 1743, rector of both. A list of whose successors may be found hereafter, under the account of St. Martin's church.
There having been at different times, several altercations between the city's franchise of liberty, thouching the extent of the city's franchise or liberty, in this parish and hereabouts; to clear up all doubts relating to it, a composition was entered into between them, with the king's consent, in the year 1268, being the 42d year of king Henry III.'s reign, at Westminister, before the king there. (fn. 225)
The parishes of St. Andrew, St. Mary Magdalen, and for some time St. Paul, which before the dissolution of St. Augustine's abbey, buried in the cemetery of it, being all churches of that abbey's patronage, had the church-yard of St. Mary de Castro's church (of that abbey's patronage likewise) assigned to them in lieu of that cemetery, for the burial of their dead there; a privilege in which St. Mary Bredman's parish did and does now, but by what right is unknown; that church being of the patronage of Christ-church, partake of, with the others, but all, or some part at least of the burials there, was received by the poor of Maynard's spittal, who in return for it antiently kept it in repair, and for default, anno 1560, were presented by St. Andrew's; since which the case is altered, each parish jointly keeping in repair the inclosure. (fn. 226)

Really felt that I was intruding on this pair of very senior looking Pale Headed Rosellas as they engaged in what may have been pair feeding.It was certainly a gesture of affection.Turns out that these are actually juveniles and quite possibly from the same clutch of eggs.That will teach me not to jump to conclusions in future.
In partnership with Caritas Nepal, CRS provided 50-day trainings to masons with a focus on earthquake-resilient construction techniques. These masons then led teams of unskilled laborers or people who participated in a shorter training. Trained masons help ensure that houses will be more resilient in future earthquakes and that families will be eligible to receive all three tranches (installments) of reconstruction money from the government. The project put a special focus on training female masons and people from vulnerable groups.
Sanju Bishwakarma, 28, (purple sweater and teal trousers) is a lead mason in ongoing reconstruction projects. Her crew trusts her and she is known for her skill in binding rebar supports. Although some female masons reported that some families hesitated to hire them based on biases against women working construction, clients seek out Sanju based on her reputation for high-end work. She is simultaneously building her own home, although her government grants have been delayed based on a mistake in registration (she will be eligible when that mistake is rectified).
Here, Sanju is pictured walking to work and then on the job at a construction site.

In April and May 2015, two massive earthquakes struck Nepal. Over eight million of Nepal’s 28 million people were affected with nearly 2.6 million in urgent need of emergency shelter, water, food, medicines and reconstruction support. The Government of Nepal (GoN) declared a state of emergency and reported 8,891 deaths, 605,254 houses destroyed and 288,244 homes damaged. CRS is supporting the Nepal government’s recovery and rehabilitation efforts.
A 3-year multi-donor $11 M Gorkha Recovery and Resilience Project (GRRP) provides technical support for more than 20,000 households in reconstruction of earthquake resilient houses, livelihoods recovery and WASH. The majority of funding comes from CRS private funds, with additional support from LDSC and Caritas Canada (Development and Peace), Caritas Spain and Caritas Austria.
Considering that raising awareness of young people on the theme of human rights must combine formal and informal communication, the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) in Morocco, the Regional Commission on Human Rights Rabat-Kenitra and the Delegation of the Ministry of National Education Salé, organized on 12 December, an inter-schools competition in Salé in order to instill in future generations the values outlined in the Universal Declaration Human Rights.

Thursday, 29th September 2011, Malaysia
The University of Strathclyde Alumni Malaysia Group (USAM) recently organized a talk with Dr Michael Marck. Dr Michael Marck, Academic Director, MBA Programme for Southeast Asia, delivered an enlightening talk entitled “The impact of viral marketing and social media for marketers today” to an audience of around 35 members and friends at the CDC Management Development Building in Selangor, Malaysia on Thursday 29th September 2011.
The evening started off at approximately 7.30pm with a networking session among members. Members were seen actively mingling while enjoying the light refreshments that were served. It was also good to note that some newer faces were noticed at this event compared to the previous events hosted by USAM, a good sign that interest is building up among existing members who have not been that active before.
The talk started off at 8.30pm with Dr. Michael Marck introducing briefly the concept of viral marketing and the impact it has today on businesses and organizations. He went on further showing videos and sharing his views on the findings of various papers and literature on the subject matter.
Participants had fun watching the short videos and the interest was built up with the communicative nature of the talk by Dr Michael, guests hardly realized that any time had passed. All in all attendees had an interactive and informative session and some noted that they were looking forward to more events like this in future.
I’m not happy with the result of this cake. Its components tasted fine separately. However, as a whole, the end taste was forgettable and the texture was wrong. The cake dried out from its four hours of being naked and its overnight stay in the refrigerator. I also had taken the cake’s moistness for granted. I didn’t brush it with any coffee syrup for that added moisture and flavour. Lastly, the chocolate custard filling was overwhelming with its nuts and coconut flakes.
Anyway, I’ll make use of the components in future products.
