A screening of Teaching in Arizona short documentary at Pima Community College West, Tucson, AZ, May 2019
Mahmood, a teacher at the UK-supported Agriculture College in Lashkar Gah, Helmand province, says: "Afghanistan is still an agriculturally backward country, because we are still subsistence farmers and have to grow food for our families"
Afghanistan currently produces 90% of the world’s opium, the key ingredient in heroin. The UK-led Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand Province is helping Afghanistan to tackle the country’s illegal drugs trade which destroys lives around the world.
At this new training college, young Afghan farmers are learning to grow legal crops that can give them an alternative income to opium. Established farmers are destroying poppy fields so they can use the land to grow wheat and other crops from subsidised seeds.
This work is seeing results - poppy cultivation in Helmand is falling as farmers start to grow new crops. To curtail the traffickers, Afghanistan’s counter narcotics police play a crucial role finding and destroying smuggled drugs before they leave the country.

Supporting the need for improvements to the education system in Honduras

Follow us on twitter BLCHonduras
This stream is dedicated to the resilient people of Honduras, especially the children, who endure a daily life of poverty and hardship, which in turn only presents them with an uncertain future and limited hope of opportunity to advance in life.
As a Honduran citizen, I can't help but feel hopeless to see so much need around me. To see children working from an early age, without ever having the chance to go to school, due to parental poverty ,and never receive an education that they and every child in the world truly deserves, really breaks my heart. Home is often of a makeshift construction, resulting in what can only be described as little more than a shack. A meal, often the cheapest foods available and lacking in the nutrients to sustain a healthy life, is all that awaits them at the end of the day.
The knowledge that 65% of Honduran people live like this, in extreme poverty weighs heavily within me.
As a Honduran photographer, I feel I must do something. Through the links provided below, I feel I can give these anonymous faces a voice, especially the children who are our future. Thank you so much for your visit and for reading a little about poverty in Honduras.
Honduras is also a land full of diverse culture and beauty....
I really feel that there is hope for Honduras

Esta galería está dedicada a todas las personas Hondureñas especialmente a los niños quienes atraviesan una vida de pobreza y escasez, lo que significa un futuro incierto, y esperanza limitadas de oportunidades para salir adelante en la vida. Como ciudadana Hondureña siento impotencia al ver tanta necesidad a mi alrededor. El ver estos niños trabajar desde temprana edad, sin ninguna oportunidad de asistir a la escuela ya que sus padres son extremadamente pobres sin recibir la educación que todo niño en el mundo merece, eso rompe mi corazón. Sus hogares a veces son pequeñas chozas. Sus alimentos muchas veces lo más barato y disponible aunque carezcan de nutrientes para tener una vida saludable, eso es lo que les espera al final del día. Siento mucha pena al saber que el 65% de la población Hondureña vive en extrema pobreza. Como fotógrafa Hondureña siento que debo hacer algo. Además de darles los enlaces abajo, siento que debo darles una voz esos niños anónimos, a estos niños que son nuestro futuro, nuestra esperanza. Muchas gracias por su visita y por tomarse el tiempo de leer un poco de la pobreza en Honduras.
Honduras es también un país lleno de diversidad cultural y belleza.
Realmente siento que hay Esperanza para Honduras.

The Church and Parish
Hanging Heaton: mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name 'Etun'. The prefix 'Hanging' refers to a steep hillside hanging above lower ground. Heaton means 'High Farm': - thus Hanging Heaton was a lonely hillside farmstead. The church did not appear until the nineteenth century and was one of the so-called 'million churches', built to celebrate the victory of the Duke of Wellington at the battle of Waterloo in 1815. Parliament gave a grant of one million pounds so that a grateful nation could build churches as a way of saying thank you to God for a safe deliverance.
The church was built in the Gothic style of stone excavated from the immediate area. Mr Thomas Taylor of Leeds designed the building to have a nave, aisles and a tower with pinnacles at the west end. Also at the west end, there was a gallery which accommodated the organ, the choir, and about thirty of the congregation.
At the east end, there was a recess which was for use as a sanctuary. The church could seat nearly 600 worshippers, two thirds in rented pews, the rest in free seats. Of course, the rented seats were at the front, and the others at the back, for the front seats were eagerly sought after, a far cry from today. When you think that the population of Hanging Heaton, or Soothill Upper as it was called at the time, was only 1,362, one can see immediately how well attended churches were then.
The Vicar of Dewsbury laid the foundation stone on August 7th 1823, when a huge gathering marched up from Dewsbury to the site, and the new church was finally dedicated by the Archbishop of York two and a half years later on 20th December 1825. The first people to be baptised were Jane Sheard, Mary Ward and Amy Wood, on December 29th 1825; the dubious distinction of the first burial in the churchyard goes to Benjamin Whitaker who was laid to rest on February 18th 1826 - his grave can still be seen; the first marriage was 12 years later on Christmas Day 1837 between Sarah Bromley and Charles Hargreaves. Perhaps marriages weren't very popular in those days either, or maybe the saintly Vicar of Dewsbury wouldn't let go of the income.
The Sunday School & Day School
In 1780, Robert Raikes of Gloucester started Sunday Schools. Dewsbury was the first place north of the Trent to adopt the concept of Sunday School teaching. In 1804, the Reverend John Buckworth produced a Sunday School linked with his Parish Church, then in the 1820s, three Sunday Schools were opened at Dewsbury Moor, Earlsheaton and Hanging Heaton. The schools for many years, were the only source of education for the children of the Dewsbury area, until, in 1845, a Church School was built at Hanging Heaton on the opposite side of the road to its present position. But the ground on which it was built proved to be unsafe, so it was rebuilt in the quarry from which the stone for the church was extracted. This is its present site.
Hanging Heaton was a 'National School' - or to give it its full title, "The National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principals of the Established Church throughout England and Wales." The pupils were taught in the monitorial system, a system by which younger pupils were taught by older pupils, having previously been instructed by the schoolmaster.
The Clergy of the Parish
Hanging Heaton has had an extraordinarily large number of incumbents, some only staying a few weeks.
Several of them could be described as characters in their own right. For example, the Reverend Francis Orpen Morris B.A. was vicar of Hanging Heaton for the period of one month and eleven days in 1834, during which time he followed his studies in natural history, and could be seen listlessly sitting on walls with a gun in his hand, shooting birds, and gazing unhappily at those he could not bring to ground. After leaving the parish, he later wrote an eight volume work on the History of British Birds, presumably taken from the dead ones he shot.
Another notable, or some would say, notorious vicar was the Reverend Stephen Matthews who stayed from 1840 until 1851, then a record. Reverend Matthews was remembered as the vicar who was accused of "taking liberties", and "having connections" with a certain Mary Halliwell aged 16. Matthews' wife left him because of his association with Mary, and he was taken to a Commission of Enquiry chaired by the Venerable Archdeacon Musgrave. The enquiry sat over six days, and Matthews was duly told that there were sufficient grounds for further proceedings. Unfortunately, we do not know the result of any further proceedings, for it may be that the then Bishop of Ripon took the papers with him when he retired.
There were then several ministers who stayed for short times, until finally the Reverend Robert Mitchell broke the cycle and stayed for thirty two years, finally dying in post. After another short stay, the Reverend William Enoch Cleworth was appointed in January 1894. He stayed at Hanging Heaton for exactly 33 years, during which time, the church opened a mission church, St Luke's at Soothill. More of Mr Cleworth later.
Following Mr Cleworth, William Barrett Harrison stayed for eight years, then Ernest Mehan Dunning who was then followed by Rudolph Arthur Maddocks. When he left the parish after another eight years, a collection was taken for him, and he was presented with a cheque for £45. Keith Charles Grain, a very popular vicar stayed for ten years, to be followed by Peter Hicks of the "donkey fame". After Peter came Nicholas Carter who stayed for three years, followed then by Simon Parkinson, John Wells, Mel Garside and Carol Gill.
The Fire
You may well ask what happened to the gallery. Quite simply, it was destroyed during a disastrous fire. The church has been struck by lightning several times, often causing the pinnacles to fall, but the worst strike caused the fire of February 16th, 1916. A certain Samuel Pleasants saw the fire from his bedroom window at 4-10am; he dressed immediately and ran to wake Mr JR Sykes, the verger who lived at 136 High Street. There was only one telephone in the village at that time, and there was a delay in contacting Batley Fire Brigade. When they were finally called out, their horses could not pull the fire engine up the hill to Hanging Heaton, so they decided to go up Grange Road into Leeds Road. The Toll Keeper at the top of Grange Road at first, refused to get out of bed to let them pass, and when he finally did so, there was an argument about the toll charge because fire engines were not mentioned on his list of toll fees. When they finally got through, they found Dewsbury Fire Brigade waiting for permission to enter the Batley Fire Brigade area to tackle the fire. Thus both fire brigades arrived at the same time, only to find that there was no local water supply for their hoses, and yards of extra hoses had to be strung out across the fields to get to a water supply. By this time the blaze was out of control, and nothing could be done to save the church. The wooden gallery fell first, then an hour and a half laterafter the fire was discovered, the roof crashed onto the ground. All the fire brigades could do was prevent the vicarage from following the fate of the church. The fire raged steadily until 7am, and all that the vicar, Reverend Cleworth could do, was to remove certain important documents. The Parish Registers and the Communion Plate were later recovered from the debris.
The task facing the parish was to be great for the church was utterly destroyed. The church members certainly needed all the help they could get.
The Ministry of Munitions refused a license to rebuild the church because of the war, so services were conducted first in the day school, then the church hall after it was built in 1917. Then in 1920 the go-ahead was given to rebuild the church. The insurance of £8000 received from the Ecclesiastical Insurance Company was not enough to restore all the stained glass windows, or the gallery, but the church was restored as near as possible to its original scale, although an extra 6 feet was added to the height of the church. The church was rededicated on November 17th 1923 at 3pm, just over 100 years after the first dedication. The church you see now is very much as it was with the exception of the organ, the pulpit and the font, which were all later gifts to the church.
Post War
After the war, there was a large building programme in the parish, which meant that the population trebled. For the next fifteen to twenty years, the church was in a strong position with a healthy congregation and Sunday School, and powerful in numbers and resources. The hall was used extensively with dances, youth clubs, discos, pantomimes and concerts. But then a change in society including TV, car ownership, and the diminishing of Sunday as a special day, meant that church membership began to decline.
Then in 1984, to the regret of most members of St Paul's, St Luke's at Soothill parted from Hanging Heaton and became part of the parish of St Thomas', Batley, after 98 years of collaboration.
The future
So we look to the future and the hope that is set before us. We continue to be a community of Christians reaching out into the parish we serve in God’s name. We welcome those who seek baptism for themselves or their children, we marry those who are in love, we lay to rest those whose earthly life has ended, we care for those in need. We are always a part of the community, sharing its life, walking its streets, at home in shops, businesses, schools, pubs and clubs. But we also stand apart, ready to share with anyone the love of God that we have found, which comes without condition and cannot be earned. We are ambassadors of a King whose kingdom lasts for ever, but is never far away, for it begins right at your door. For Jesus says, “behold I stand at the door and knock.” Open the door of your life and let Christ into your future.

Soldiers assign to H company 121st learn about the Georgian Army weapon system as part of Exercise Noble Partner May 21, 2016 at Vaziani Training Area.
While Georgia is not a member of NATO, it and other NATO partners voluntarily contribute to the NRF. Exercise Noble Partner provides an opportunity for the United States to continue its training relationship with the Georgian armed forces as the sponsor of Georgia’s participation in the NRF. The NRF provides a rapid military response force to deploy quickly, wherever needed. In addition to its operational role, the NRF uses opportunities like Exercise Noble Partner to increase cooperation, education and training of all participants.
An artist teaching young pupils from the praedella of a statue to George Edmund Street in the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Street was the architect of the gothic revival building in the Strand, but died in 1881, a year before the building was opened by Queen Victoria. The base of the statue has depictions of various artistic disciplines.
I made the following graphic images to show my new Computer Science classes (we call them DAS — Digital Arts and Sciences) the range of tools and possibilities that exist in vector graphic suites such as the ones in PAGES, Google Docs, or other similar software suites. And making them proved to be quite challenging for a lot of the students. They all succeeded in making all of them eventually — but it was unexpectedly difficult for a great many of them.
