Ranville is a commune in the Calvados department in the Basse-Normandie region in northwestern France.
Ranville was the first French village liberated on D-Day. The village was liberated by the British 13th Parachute Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Luard. The château du Heaume in the village was subsequently used by the headquarters of the British 6th Airborne Division.
The village features heavily in the book "13 - Lucky For Some" which is about the history of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion. There are many then and now photographs as well as maps and diagrams of battles that took place in the region.

This is one of many D-Day and CWGC site ...
Elaine Ranville came to the kitchen and sang the Waltz Of The Angels. Her Husband Fred was her biggest fan and her biggest inspiration. So she dedicates this song to his memory. She also would like to thank her 3 grown children and her 5 granddaughters who continue to support and encourage her in her music.

The Sa tree grows in the mountainous regions of Loas and has been used traditionally to make good quality, durable paper. There are several Sa paper makers working from their homes in the villages of Laos. The bark of the Sa tree is soaked and boiled in water until the fibers break apart. The fiber is then mixed in clean water and floated onto a deckle and mould. The wet paper is decorated with leaves, flowers and petals before setting in the sun to dry. The traditional skills of paper making have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years and provides vital income for the families. This video was shot in Luang Prabang, Laos. 2011

Be a part of this experiment: onedayinvenice.com The "One Day In VeNICE" project is a video collaboration designed to explore our diversity and celebrate our similarities and differences as a community. On Abbot Kinney's birthday, November 16th, the community of Venice CA came together to take part in this experiment. We asked to film what you love most about living in and being a part of this community. Each person was given a 24-hour period to capture THEIR Venice in whatever way that most represented their life. Most of us would agree, the community we live in plays a vital part in how we perceive the world and interact with it. With this film we hope to see how the modern day community can give us the tools we need to better understand the world around us as we move forward. MUSIC: ...
Rainfall on rolling green
Wavy lines and peacock sheen
Rainfall on rolling green
Prettiest world I've ever seen
Faces and places in a highway land
Beads strung on a silver strand
Quick silver in a callused hand
Never a place for the Son of Man
Born under a rainbow sign
Flash of wave in space and time
Molten glass and hearts that shine
