North East Poets: Image & Inspiration
Image of Vicky Arthurs by Beth Cutting
During summer holidays, 2015 eight young people aged 16 -17 years old from Southmoor Academy in Sunderland took part in a portrait photography project with Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens inspired by the Picture the Poet exhibition. The young people worked with documentary photographers Louise Taylor and Paul Alexander Knox to develop their practical photography skills and learn from the practice of professional photographers.

In England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland a succession of Witchcraft Acts have governed witchcraft and provided penalties for its practice, or (in later years) for pretending to practice it.
Witchcraft Act 1542
Witchcraft Act 1562
Scottish Witchcraft Act 1563
Witchcraft Act 1604
Scottish Witchcraft Act 1649
Witchcraft Act 1735...
In 1944, Helen Duncan was inprisoned under the Witchcraft Act on the grounds that she had claimed to summon spirits. It is often contended, by her followers, that her imprisonment was in fact at the behest of superstitious military intelligence officers who feared she would reveal the secret plans for D-Day. She came to the attention of the authorities after supposedly contacting the spirit of a sailor of the HMS Barham, whose sinking was hidden from the general public at the time. After being caught in the act of faking a spiritual manifestation, she was arrested during a seance and indicted with seven punishable counts: two of conspiracy to contravene the Witchcraft Act, two of obtaining money by false pretences, and three of public mischief (a common law offence). She spent nine months in prison.
Although Duncan has been frequently described as the last person to be convicted under the Act, in fact, Jane Rebecca Yorke was convicted under the Act later that same year. The last threatened use of the Act against a medium was in 1950. In 1951 the Witchcraft Act was repealed with the enactment of the Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951, largely at the instigation of Spiritualists through the agency of Thomas Brooks MP.
It is widely suggested that astrology may have been covered by the Witchcraft Act. From the 1930s onwards many tabloid newspapers and magazines carried astrology columns, but none were ever prosecuted.
The Witchcraft Act remained legally in force in Northern Ireland, although it was never actually applied.
The Act is still in force in Israel, having been introduced into the legal system of the British Mandate over Palestine; Israel gained its independence before the law was repealed in Britain in 1951. Article 417 of the Israeli Penal code of 1977, incorporating much legislation inherited from British and Ottoman times, sets two years' imprisonment as the punishment for "witchcraft, fortune telling, or magic for pay". The law in Israel applies only to practitioners of witchcraft who charge a fee.

I've taken these with my Lumix GX80 and mini go-pro.
I'll go back with my proper tripod, when the weather is dry and still.

I took this rather fuzzy photograph with a Kodak Brownie 127 camera in the paddock during practice for the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1957. It's Stirling Moss who was part of the Vanwall team, and Mike Hawthorn who drove a Ferrari 801 for the Scuderia Ferrari team. Stirling Moss qualified his Vanwall in pole position on the grid with team mate Tony Brooks also on the front row, the two Vanwalls sandwiching Jean Behra's Maserati 250F. Mike Hawthorn was on the second row in fifth place with the Ferrari 801, which was the final evolution of the D50 cars that Ferrari had inherited from Lancia towards the end of the 1955 season. Eventual World Drivers' Championship winner (for the fourth consecutive season) Juan Fangio was next to Mike Hawthorn in fourth position. Stirling Moss led the 90 lap race in the early stages, pulling away from Jean Behra for about 20 laps, but his car then developed a misfire and after two quick pit stops to try to rectify the problem Tony Brooks, having a painful drive following an accident at Le Mans, was flagged into the pits for Stirling Moss to take over his car, then in fifth place, but dropping to ninth after the change-over. Stirling Moss began to catch the cars in front of him, getting up to fourth place behind Jean Behra, Mike Hawthorn and Stewart Lewis-Evans in the third Vanwall by lap 69 when everything suddenly changed. Coming down the Railway Straight towards the Melling Crossing the clutch in Jean Behra's Maserati exploded leaving him to roll round to the pits to retire. As Mike Hawthorn came to pass the stricken Maserati one of his tyres punctured on the debris left by the broken clutch and he had to slow down to stop at the pits for a wheel change. Stuart Lewis-Evans quickly caught and passed the Ferrari, but almost immediately was passed by Stirling Moss to take the lead in the race. So at the end of the lap which he had started in fourth place with a hope of maybe catching the leader by the end of the race Stirling Moss crossed the line in the lead, which he held to the end of the race. Luigi Musso in a Ferrari 801 was second and Mike Hawthorn finished in third place - all the other finishers had been lapped by those three cars.
Miss shooting sports so much I go to practices instead of games. Winter sports at Des Moines high schools have been sidelined as the school district continues to have classes online due to COVID-19. But with Winter break now underway, high school teams are at least allowed to practice. So I stopped by East High School as they held their first practice of the year with a new head coach.
The elder chick has been practicing to fly for about 10 days now. Today, at 82 days old he did his longest run of nearly 200 meter and did not take off. He will fly very soon.
Loons are excellent divers and have heavy bones, unlike most birds that have “hollow” bones. This is the reason they need such a long ran to get airborne.
