The impressive pavilion at Feethams, home to Darlington Cricket Club. The oldest bits of the structure date from 1906. The flat-roofed extension was added in 1992. Captured before a five-wicket defeat by Richmondshire in the Premier Division of the North Yorkshire & South Durham Premier League.
Lacking four regulars (owing to holidays, a stag do and football), Richmondshire cleared a tricky hurdle to extend their lead and plunge Darlington deeper into relegation trouble. The visitors, with four games of the season remaining, have a 19-point lead over title rivals Marton, who could manage only a losing draw at Barnard Castle. With Great Ayton winning at Middlesbrough in a crunch relegation battle, Darlington slip a place, to 10th, 10 points above the drop zone, occupied by Seaton Carew and Middlesbrough.
The departure, to a soft catch, of professional Tom Hewison (63) sparked a costly Darlington collapse. The last five home wickets produced just 17 runs. Callum Lethbridge's 27 was the only other decent score. Sam Wood (3-25), Chris Layfield (2-6) and Steven Reeves (2-29) shared the bulk of the wickets. Reeves, Richmondshire's Australian professional, played a key role as the visitors chased down a modest target. Darlington, boosted by early breakthroughs from pacer Shaun Charlton (2-53), appeared in with a chance when Richmondshire were reduced to 53-3, opener Robert Carr hitting 26. But Reeves, a big fella, steadied the ship with an unbeaten 44. Darren Van Der Vyver (20) and Wood (19) did what was necessary at the other end.

Doorstep statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the start of the extraordinary Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government
Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral of Christ the King is one of the most iconic church buildings of the 20th century, a daring architectural statement of the Church's embrace of post Vatican II reform and a unique structure with it's tent-like form and cylindrical lantern tower filled with glowing colour.
The present cathedral was begun in 1962 and opened five years later; it was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, winning designer of an architectural competition to build the new cathedral. This had followed years of hiatus and the abandonment of the previous insanely ambitious plans for the cathedral, building of which had begun in 1933 to the designs of Sir Edwin Lutyens but stopped soon after World War II with only the crypt completed. Lutyens's huge domed building verged on megalomania, designed to exceed the size of the enormous Anglican cathedral rising at the other end of Hope Street, and if finished would have been the World's second largest church, dominating the city. The need to revise such plans in the face of postwar austerity was hardly surprising.
Instead Liverpool was bequeathed a dramatic and instantly recognisable modernist landmark, which despite a few irreverent nicknames is generally admired for its innovation and contemporary artwork, foremost among which is the richly coloured dalle de verre glazing of the suspended lantern tower by John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens, who were also responsible for most of the glazing below which bathes the interior of the building in a subtle blue light.
The circular interior has the central altar as it's focus, below the lantern tower and a spiky suspended canopy, and is ringed by a sequence of individually designed chapels and annexes, most of which feature altars, minimalist coloured glazing and further contemporary artworks. It is a vast, auditorium-like space which ensures every member of the congregation has an unobscured view of the altar.

Victorian Heritage Register Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve is approximately 30 hectares of public land adjacent to Hepburn Springs township that includes the Hepburn Mineral Springs Spa Complex. The reserve contains a series of mineral springs that have been in continuous public use for drinking and bathing since the mid-19th century are the best known of the large concentration of more than 100 mineral springs in Victoria's Central Highlands first systematically inventoried by the Geological Survey of Victoria in 1910 under Director of E.J. Dunn (1904 - 1912). A reserve of 0.5 hectares was first created on the site in 1868 to protect the springs from surrounding gold mining activities. The extent of the reserve was increased to its present size in the early 20th century as a result of local pressure for protection of the mineral springs local pressure and on the recommendation of Dunn that a network of Mineral Springs Reserves of standard size be established throughout Victoria.
Although the local community, in particular the Swiss-Italian migrants, had regularly used the springs since at least the 1870s, it was the construction of the rail line to nearby Daylesford in 1880 that markedly increased the accessibility of the springs to tourists who came in increasing numbers to 'take the waters'. By the 1890s a bath house had been established at the springs offering a range of hydrotherapies, reflecting the popularity of health tourism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The popularity of the Springs continued through the first decades of the 20th century and into the inter-war years, but declined rapidly after the Second World War. In the 1980s resurgence in the popularity of the Hepburn Mineral Springs led to substantial renovation of the spa bath house. The Reserve continues to be a major Victorian tourist destination.
The topography of the Reserve is dominated by a gully, through which Spring Creek runs and along which the Reserves' three main springs, the Soda, Locarno and Sulphur springs are located. The springs have been modified over time, with infrastructure in place from the early 20th century to permit water to be collected by efficient and sanitary means for use in the bath house and for drinking. The Locarno Spring, identified in 1914 and named in honour of a prominent Swiss-Italian community member, is permanently set aside for public use. Members of the local Swiss community were also responsible for construction of the swimming pool on Spring Creek in the south of the reserve in the late 1920s (H1865).
The landscape, once reflecting mining activities, is now a picturesque combination of regrowth native vegetation and exotic trees on the higher land while along the creek are cultivated parklands of lawn, exotic deciduous trees and conifers and ornamental plantings and paving, much of which is Castlemaine slate. Many of the exotic trees were planted by local communities in an effort to beautify the reserve, provide shade in summer and create a landscape reminiscent of European spa centres. The main lawn area or Picnic Park, is dominated by a single Sierra Redwood (Sequioadentrum giganteum) specimen planted in 1901 to commemorate Federation.
Within the garden landscape along the creek are a number of buildings associated with the recreational use of the mineral springs since late 19th century including the only extant 19th century mineral springs bathhouse in Victoria. This brick building was erected in 1895 and extended in the 1920s with the addition of further baths and waiting room (1922) followed by a boiler house. This structure continued in use until the late 1980s when major renovations and additions were undertaken creating the Hepburn Springs Spa Complex in which external fabric of the original bath house and 1920s extension was retained along with a brick chimney from the boiler house. To the south of the bath house a timber pavilion was erected in 1897 to provide shelter for visitors. This was replaced in 1908 by the extant Edwardian red brick hexagonal pavilion in which community dances and other social functions were held in the inter-war period and which continues to serve as a shelter for visitors. An adjoining kiosk, also in red brick was added on the north side of the pavilion in 1939.
There are a number of other buildings in the Reserve including the caretakers cottage, a single storey weatherboard cottage probably dating to the early 20th century, and the Sound Shell, a small concrete block structure in the Picnic Park erected in 1971 by the Hepburn Springs Progress Association to provide an open air performance space.
How is it significant?
The Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is of historic, social, aesthetic and scientific significance to the State of Victoria
Why is it Significant?
Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve is of historical significance as an intact and authentic expression of 19th and early 20th century nature and health tourism in Victoria, made popular through the development of the country rail network and also reflected in the construction of the Mount Buffalo Chalet in 1910 (H0901) and development of the Buchan Caves Reserve in the first decades of the 20th century (H1978). The rapid rise in the popularity of the Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve in the late 19th century was specifically related to the then popular belief in the recuperative and invigorating powers of 'taking the waters'.
The Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is of historic significance as the best known and most popular of Victoria's mineral springs, in continuous use since at least the 1870s. Hepburn Springs is the only mineral spa development with a surviving 19th century bath house.
Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is of scientific significance for the geological feature of the mineral springs themselves, each of which has a unique chemical composition, and for the Reserve's association with the establishment of the network of Mineral Reserves in Victoria in the early 20th century through the Geological Survey of Victoria and its Director E. J Dunn (1904 - 1912).
The Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is of aesthetic significance as a constructed picturesque and evocative cultural landscape combining exotic, European, plantings with indigenous vegetation, exhibiting a high degree of authenticity especially in the largely intact pavilion and surviving fabric of the 19th century bath house set amid the garden landscape.
Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve is of social significance to the people of Victoria as a highly popular place of recreation and source of mineral water for public use.
Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve is of social significance for its association with European migrant communities in Victoria, in particular the Swiss-Italian community who recognised the therapeutic value of the springs in the 19th century, who continue to have a strong attachment to the place and who contribute to the conservation of the springs through community action.

Secretary of Foreign Affairs
At the Conclusion of the 9th Meeting of the Philippines-Viet Nam Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC)
[Delivered at Diamond Hotel, Manila, Philippines on 06 March 2019]
Good morning.
Today was another milestone in our five-year-old Strategic Partnership with Viet Nam, as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh and I convened the 9th Meeting of the Philippines-Viet Nam Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation and discussed the deepening and broadening of our relations and cooperation.
Though only our 9th JCBC meeting, we mark this year the 25th anniversary since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding that established this principal and most important of our two countries’ dialogue mechanisms. And as 25 is associated with a coming of age, so is our relationship with Viet Nam entering a new important chapter.
Building on the excellent work of our Senior Officials yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Pham and I adopted the new Philippines-Viet Nam five-year Plan of Action covering the period 2019-2024. This Plan of Action, like its predecessor document for the period 2011-2016, is the product of inter-agency consultations and thorough bilateral negotiations. It comprehensively maps out specific commitments we will undertake jointly in the political, security, economic, and cultural spheres, as well as in other various areas.
In tandem with the Agreed Minutes we adopted at the conclusion of this 9th JCBC, these important documents attest to our resolve to drive our relations forward and onward. As two of ASEAN’s most dynamic economies, and as two countries faced with similar challenges, we draw lessons not only from our gains and accomplishments but also from lessons in areas where we might have fallen short.
With almost 45 years of bilateral relations dating back to 21 July 1976, ours is a friendship that rests on close cooperation and recognition of a common stake in common regional security concerns. Today, we looked back at the status of our partnership and found fresh impetus to move forward with greater confidence.
At this juncture, allow me to take this opportunity to express the Philippines’ sincere appreciation for the support and dedication of our counterparts from Viet Nam led by Deputy Prime Minister Pham, which ensured a productive meeting.
The Philippines looks forward to Viet Nam’s hosting of the 10th Meeting of the JCBC in 2021.
Thank you. END

"On Saturday, May 11th, Occupy the Farm peacefully marched onto the Gill Tract to challenge the UC’s renewed plans for private, commercial development of this public agricultural resource, replacing 5-foot high weeds with thousands of squash, kale, basil, corn, lettuce and tomato plants, and even flowers.
Rather than recognizing this as an opportunity to position itself on the cutting edge of urban agriculture and participatory research, the University raided the farm on Monday, May 13, at 4:30 a.m. and violently arrested four peaceful farmers, three of whom were held for more than 60 hours before being released without charge. The University then ploughed over the farm that morning, destroying thousands of starts that, if nurtured, would have provided sustenance to local communities.
“This land has been vacant for years,” said an Occupy the Farm member, Matthew McHale, “the UC only destroyed the crops because it’s afraid that if the community sees what an amazing asset this would be as a community farm, they would refuse to let it be paved over.”
In protest of the UC’s actions, more than eighty farmers and community members re-converged on Monday afternoon for a rally, then marched back onto the farm to replant the field and recover some of the starts they had planted over the weekend. The University plowed the farm again Tuesday morning.
Since Occupy the Farm first planted on the Gill tract in April 2012, the group has organized at least 10 public forums focused on the Gill Tract as an asset to community-driven participatory research. The UC Berkeley administration has consistently failed to attend, despite being invited repeatedly. Students on campus however, support turning the land into an urban farm; last Spring the Associated Students of the University of California Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of Occupy the Farm."
