BBC ITS A KNOCKOUT HEATS 1982 MELTON MOWBRAY PART 2/2
Did You Know? For the first time ever in It's A Knockout history, the allocation of points was given in the order in which the teams appeared on the scoreboard, and not in the order of finishing on the games. Game 5 in this heat - 'Sheep Dipping' - was an exact copy of Game 5 played at Roundhay Park in Leeds at the British International Heat of Jeux Sans Frontières in 1976! Charnwood had won the heat before the last game, but despite this, the team manager complained about defective pulley equipment on the game. Referee Arthur Ellis stated that the team was responsible for the equipment failure and the complaint was over-ruled. When Stuart Hall placed the winning team's name on the International venues side of the scoreboard, the Italian venue was clearly shown as Caprera, and the French venue simply as Les-Moulineaux! Scoregirl Helen Ashley was promoted to series referee alongside Arthur Ellis and Mike Swann in the show's closing credits, but retained her position as scoregirl throughout. With the new scoreboard came a 'blooper'. Due to slight gaps between the numbers, the member of the production staff could clearly be seen moving across from one side of the scoreboard to the other and changing the score. Charnwood was created under the Local Government Act 1972, and includes the towns of Birstall, Loughborough and Shepshed. Rutland, the smallest county in Great Britain until 1974, was amalgamated into the county of Lincolnshire under the Local Government Act 1972. At ...

Anthea & Anand Surgery Home Newcastle Northumbria
Northumberland is a county in the North East of England. The non-metropolitan county of Northumberland borders Cumbria to the west, County Durham to the south and Tyne and Wear to the south east, as well as having a border with the Scottish Borders council area to the north, and nearly eighty miles of North Sea coastline. Since 1974 the county council has been located in Morpeth, situated in the east of the county; however, both Morpeth and Alnwick claim the title county town. As the kingdom of Northumbria under King Edwin, the region's historical boundaries stretched from the Humber in the south to the Forth in the north. The historic boundaries of the county cover a different area, including Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the traditional county town, as well as Tynemouth and other settlements in North Tyneside, areas administered by Tyne and Wear since 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The historic boundaries of the county are sometimes taken to exclude Islandshire, Bedlingtonshire and Norhamshire (collectively North Durham), exclaves of County Durham which were incorporated into Northumberland in 1844. Being on the border of Scotland and England, Northumberland has been the site of many battles. The county is noted for its undeveloped landscape of high moorland, a favourite with landscape painters, and now largely protected as a National Park. Dr Anand anandjee

The RIFLES: Freedom of the Borough of Newham, Stratford, E15
Freedom of the Borough presentation to the soldiers of G Company 7th Battalion The RIFLES in recognition of their gallant and courageous service Saturday 23 June 2012 Old Town Hall Stratford, E15 About the Honorary Freedom The Honorary Freedom of the Borough is the highest distinction a local authority can bestow on an individual. Parliament maintained the traditional power of Councils to admit as Honorary Freemen and Honorary Freewomen 'persons of distinction and any persons who have rendered eminent services to the Borough' in the Local Government Act of 1972. This Act requires that a special resolution conferring the Freedom of the Borough must be passed by two-thirds of the Council voting. The Honorary Freedom of the Borough is an honour sparingly awarded. Since the formation of the London Borough of Newham in 1965, only 16 people have been awarded the Honorary Freedom of the Borough. In the histories of the County Boroughs of East Ham and West Ham which preceded it, only 35 people were accorded this high distinction. The origins of the office of Freeman can be traced back to ancient Rome when to be 'born free' gave a citizen special status and privileges. All others owed allegiance to someone of superior rank. In Anglo-Saxon times, an individual's freedom was dependent on the degree of obligation for service to the Lord of the Manor. Later the Merchant Guilds, growing in power and influence in the towns, gained freedom for their members from tolls of the overlords ...

UK: Class 20 20309 & 20308 departing Carlisle on a Cheshire Cat Railtour to Stratford On Avon
Class 20 20309 & 20308 departing Carlisle on Cheshire Cat Railtour to Stratford On Avon As can be seen, 20308 is rather poorly and shutdown around the Lancaster area, both locos were removed at Crewe in favour of 57002 for the final leg to Stratford On Avon. Recorded 7th July 2012 The locomotives were supplied by DIrect Rail Services DRS based in Carlisle. Direct Rail Services (DRS) is a freight operating company created by British Nuclear Fuels Limited. The company started rail operations in 1995 using five heavily refurbished Class 20/3 diesel locomotives. Since then it has expanded greatly, and has acquired many more locomotives, most bought second-hand and subsequently refurbished. Ownership of DRS was transferred from BNFL to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority when the NDA was created on 1 April 2005, under the terms of the Energy Act 2004.

Both Councillors Hughes and Thompson-Hill left the meeting.) Councillor PA Dobb presented the report to update Members on the current financial position of the Scala Company Limited; to seek approval to increase the number of County Council representatives on the Scala Company Limited Board; and to seek approval for additional financial support from the Council for the current financial year, to support the venture. Councillor Dobb said the report highlighted the current financial position of the Scala and it appeared that the latest business projections indicated that a further deficit of approximately £86k was anticipated in the current financial year. It would take a number of years for the Company to become viable. Members were being asked to increase the Board of the Company by a minimum of 5 persons - 2 Council ...

Whale Shark Slaughter in India- Shores of Silence
A shortened version of the film 'Shores of Silence' The film is an effort to create awareness and gather support to protect and conserve this species. The aim is to eventually help create policies to ban whale shark trade in India and find sustainable alternatives for the local fishing community. This film moved the government of India into bringing in legislation and banning the killing of the Whale Sharks on Indian shores. The Whale Shark was declared protected under the Indian Wildlife Act- 1972, bringing it at par with the tigers and the Rhino. This was a landmark move. It was the first marine species to be protected under the Indian law. In November 2002, at the international CITES meet in Chile, Santiago, a negative voting changed into an overwhelming positive after this film was shown to the delegates - bringing global protection of the Whale Shark and giving the largest fish in the world a new lease of life. The Film has also been greatly successful in bringing about change in the attitude of fisher folk Awards won: 1.

Bruce Scott - Beyond the Rent Strike
Another film made for the Radical City show at the Everyman, and another collaboration with Tim Brunsden. This time it’s a documentary about local Irish folk singer Bruce Scott. Bruce has written songs for Christy Moore (‘The People’s Own MP‘ – the song about Bobby Sands – was one of Bruce’s), but in this film he talks about some of the political struggles that have inspired him to write, and the importance of passing on heritage through song.
We met Bruce and his wife Dorothy while we were doing the Small Cinema in Kirkby. Bruce was part of the Rent Strikes in the 1970s, which were a revolt against the 1972 Housing Finance Act that was implemented by the Thatcher government. Bruce, and many other residents in Kirkby, fought back against the act, as did many other communities across the country. The Kirkby strikes were documented by filmmaker Nick Broomfield in the film Behind The Rent Strike.

Nine Snakes or the Wedding's off
CHAN:
And in one community in central India, whether or not couples get married depends upon the bride's parent's ability to collect a dowry of snakes.
STORY:
Despite a government ban on snake catching, the snake charmers' community in India's central Chhattisgarh observes an ancient marriage ritual. It requires the bride to carry nine different species of snakes in her dowry, and many marriages are held up if this requirement is not met.
The approximate 25,000 snake charmers in the state are particular about this age-oldcustom, and it is not uncommon that marriages are put on hold until all the snakes have been collected.
Eligible bachelors and engaged youngsters have to wait indefinitely until the brides parents are able collect all nine snakes. Sometimes proposed marriages are even cancelled in despair.
[Durjan Sapera, Local Married Man]:
"In our community, we cannot get married until we get nine snakes of different species. Even I got married only after I was given 9 different snakes. And someone I know has been engaged for the past year but will get married only after they give him nine snakes. They need to collect two more (snakes)."
With widespread deforestation and expansion of human habitations into forested areas, the snake population has dwindled, worrying snake charmers and couples to be wed.
Also, the enforcement of the Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 has squeezed snake charmers of some of their business.
[Nirmala, Mother of a Bride]:
"This is an age-old ritual. We have to give snakes of nine different species along with our daughter at the time of marriage. Otherwise, the marriage gets delayed or canceled. And with the ban on catching snakes, we are facing problems."
This ancient marriage ritual continues in India despite the legal ban on snake catching and a growing well-educated middle class.

Gorgon Project Overview - Producing Liquefied Natural Gas in Australia
The Gorgon gas project is a natural gas project in Western Australia, involving the development of the Greater Gorgon gas fields, subsea gas-gathering infrastructure, and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island.[2][3] The project also includes a domestic gas component. It is currently under construction and once completed, will become Australia's fourth LNG export development.[4]

[edit]Location
'Greater Gorgon' refers to a grouping of several gas fields, including Gorgon, Chandon, Geryon, Orthrus, Maenad, Eurytion, Urania, Chrysaor, Dionysus, Jansz/Io, and West Tryal Rocks, situated in the Barrow sub-basin of the Carnarvon Basin) The Gorgon field is centered about 130 kilometres (81 mi) off the north-west coast of Western Australia, where the water depth is approximately 200 metres (660 ft). Other fields in the group lie to the north, such as Jansz-Io, which covers an area of 2,000 square kilometres (770 sq mi), in a water depth of 1,300 metres (4,300 ft).
Barrow Island lies off the Pilbara coast, 85 kilometres (53 mi) north-north-east of Onslow and 140 kilometres (90 mi) west of Karratha. The largest of a group of islands which include the Montebello and Lowendal Islands, it is 25 kilometres (16 mi) long and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) wide, covering 235 square kilometres (91 sq mi).[2]
[edit]History
More than 200 exploration wells have been drilled in the Barrow sub-basin over the past 35 years, including West Tryal Rocks in 1972, and Spar in 1976 - both discovered by West Australian Petroleum (WAPET) which had been a pioneering company in the development of the Western Australian petroleum industry. WAPET was the operator on behalf of various joint ventures comprising Chevron, Texaco, Shell and Ampolex (the exploration division of Ampol). Chevron and Texaco merged in 2001, Mobil took over Ampolex, and later merged with Exxon to form Exxon-Mobil. In 2000, Chevron became the operator of all WAPET's petroleum assets.
WAPET discovered Gorgon in 1981 with the drilling of the Gorgon 1 well.[5] Later discoveries included Chrysaor (1994) and Dionysus (1996). The Jansz-Io gas accumulation, discovered in January 2000, contains an estimated 566 billion cubic meters of recoverable reserves.[5]
The project received preliminary environmental approvals from the West Australian government in September 2007 and from the Federal Minister for the Environment in the following month.[6][7] The project developers then submitted revised plans to cover an expansion in the size of the project. Final environmental approval was received from the state government on 11 August 2009.[8] On 26 August 2009, the Federal Environment Minister announced that the expanded project on Barrow Island had been given conditional environmental approval.[9]
During the 2007 Australian federal election campaign, the Australian Labor Party announced that a future Labor government would set aside 25% of future Petroleum Resource Rent Tax from the Gorgon project to establish a Western Australian Infrastructure Fund.[10]
[edit]Gas fields
The Gorgon and Jansz-Io gas fields, 200 kilometres (120 mi) from the coast are said to contain 40 trillion cubic feet (1.1×1012 m3) of natural gas and may have a lifespan of 60 years.[11]
[edit]Developers
The project is being developed by the Gorgon Joint Venture, which consists of Australian subsidiaries of three international energy companies:[12]
Chevron Australia (a subsidiary of Chevron) (47% share and project operator)
Shell Development Australia (a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell) (25%)
Mobil Australia Resources (a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil) (25%)
Osaka Gas (1.25%)
Tokyo Gas (1%)
Chubu Electric Power (0.417%)
[edit]Scope
300 ha of land has been acquired on Barrow Island
3x5 MTPA LNG Trains
15 million tonnes of LNG per year
300 terajoules per day domestic gas plant
Ground breaking occurred on December 1, 2009
First LNG in 2014
Production ends between 2054–2074 [13]
Using initially 18 wells, gas will be delivered via subsea gathering systems and pipelines to the north-west coast of Barrow Island, then via an underground pipeline system to gas treatment and liquefaction facilities on the island's south-east coast. The plant will consist of 3 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains, each capable of producing a nominal capacity of five million tonnes per annum (MTPA).[2]
Carbon dioxide (CO2), which comprises around 15% of the raw gas stream, will be stripped out then injected into formations deep below the island. LNG and condensate, initially stored in onshore tanks, will be offloaded from a 2100m jetty onto LNG carriers and oil tankers, for delivery to overseas customers.Natural gas for domestic use will be exported by a 70 km subsea pipeline to the mainland, for transmission to local customers.[2]

Lymington, in the district of New Forest, Hampshire, England. ( 4 )
Lymington is a port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent, in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is to the east of the South East Dorset conurbation, and faces Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight which is connected to it by a car ferry, operated by Wightlink. The town of Lymington lies within Southampton and SW Hampshire and contains the villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Hordle, Milford-on-Sea, Pennington and Sway. The town has a large tourist industry, and is situated near the beautiful New Forest. It is a major yachting centre with three marina's. A beautiful, Georgian market town, Lymington ( population 14330 ) is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. The town is world renown as a sailing resort; there are two large marinas Berthon and Haven and two sailing clubs RLYC and Lymington Town. Lymington has several interesting independent shops including some designer boutiques. On Saturday a market is held in the High Street, the origins of which probably date back to the 13th century. At the top of the High Street is the Parish Church, St Thomas Church ( built around 1250 ), from the bottom of the High Street a cobblestone road leads down to the Old Town Quay, still used as a base by commercial fishing boats. The earliest settlement in the Lymington area was around the Iron Age hill fort known today as Buckland Rings. The hill and ditches of this fort still remain, and ...

Restoring the Everglades: Why and How
www.evergladesplan.org US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District www.youtube.com www.saj.usace.army.mil This clip is from: www.youtube.com Florida Everglades Cleanup: A River of Morass www.youtube.com --- History In the late 1930s, the US Department of Agriculture began studies of the muck thicknesses and other characteristics of the Everglades. Starting in the early 1940s, the US Geological Survey began its studies in the Everglades under the leadership of Gerald G. Parker, Sr., as his first assignment with the agency and it was his first job out of college, so to speak. See: sofia.usgs.gov By 1947, when Everglades National Park was established and River of Grass by Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, there had been a lot of science done in the Everglades. Also, starting in the early 1920s, aerial photography was flown of the entire Everglades, Lake Okeechobee and the coastal areas of Florida by the US Navy -- all of that imagery lost in time. The US Army Corps of Engineers had been studying southern Florida since the Seminole Wars (3 of them) that were began by Andrew Jackson murderous campaign against Indians, In the 1880s, the Corps began measuring water flows and depths in the Caloosahatchee up through Lake Okeechobee into the Kissimmee. In the 1923, the Corps began controlling the water levels of Lake Okeechobee, after which hundreds (September 1926) then thousands (September 1928) were killed by the lake waters. The Corps doesn't acknowledge having ...

Does Britain have a Constitution?
Some interesting facts about the EU below. 1. The Queen has signed 6 of the 7 EU Treaties. 2. The 6 treaties define and build the EU as an unelected dictatorship. 3. The EU's laws give it the powers of a police state. 4. The 7th EU treaty will complete the abolition of Britain as a nation - the Queen could sign it in as little as two years. Shouldn't we repeal the 1972 European Communities Act now before we are imprisoned inside? 5. Thirty four years inside the EU - have you noticed how our democracy is being withdrawn? The EU has denied us that most basic of human rights - the right to vote against the EU and to keep our own nation. A majority of us don't want to be in the EU. We are being forced in against our will. Do you feel you've become powerless, or your vote is worth less? The six treaties are removing our democracy and harmonising our laws with the EU; 70% of Parliament's new laws are the EU's, not ours. Isn't the real reason people have lost interest in politics precisely because the EU has taken away our ability to change things? Common law, where government was our servant, is now largely replaced by the EU's Corpus Juris, where the government is the ruler, we are the ruled, and don't participate. We have lost most of our rights (including habeas corpus). The power of government grows unchecked. Yet politicians lie about the EU, pretending its not significant. 6. Massive EU corruption The EU's auditors have found the fraud is so widespread they've refused to ...

Clean Water Act: Better at 40
The Clean Water Act turns 40 in October 2012. The Landmark Legislation was a fundamental turning point in the protection of all fresh water in the United States. The laws' stated goal was to make all water fishable and swimmable. The law is the source of all modern day water protection and led to the widespread growth of sewage treatment.
