Leonid Aleksándrovich Góvorov (;  - 19 de marzo de 1955) fue un comandante militar soviético. Formado como oficial de artillería, se unió al Ejército Rojo en 1920. Se graduó en varias academias militares soviéticas, incluida la Academia Militar del Estado Mayor del Ejército Rojo (1938). Participó en la Guerra de Invierno de 1939-1940 contra Finlandia como oficial superior de artillería.

En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Góvorov ascendió al mando de un ejército en noviembre de 1941 durante la Batalla de Moscú. Estuvo al mando del Frente de Leningrado desde abril de 1942 hasta el final de la guerra. Alcanzó el rango de mariscal de la Unión Soviética en 1944, recibió el título de Héroe de la Unión Soviética y muchas otras medallas y condecoraciones tanto soviéticas como extranjeras.

Biografía

Infancia y juventud
Góvorov nació el 22 de febrero de 1897 en el pueblo de Butyrki, distrito de Yaransky, Gobernación de Viatka (actualmente en el óblast de Kírov) en el seno de una familia de campesinos. Su padre, Alexander Grigorievich Góvorov (1869-1920), trabajó como marinero primero en una barcaza, y luego en la compañía naviera de comerciantes Stakheevs y empleado en una escuela en Yelábuga. Su madre, María Alexandrovna Govorova  (1867-1919) era ama de casa. Góvorov era el mayor de cuatro hijos.

Después de graduarse de una escuela vocacional en Yaransk, Leonid Góvorov ingresó a la escuela técnica superior en Yelábuga, de la que se graduó brillantemente en 1916. Ese mismo año ingresó en el departamento de construcción naval del Instituto Politécnico de Petrogrado.

En diciembre de 1916, fue movilizado por el Ejército Imperial Ruso y enviado a estudiar en la Escuela de Artillería Konstantinovsky, después de lo cual, en junio de 1917, fue ascendido a alférez (Podporúchik)  y nombrado oficial subalterno de una batería de morteros en una de las unidades de la guarnición de Tomsk.

En marzo de 1918 fue desmovilizado y regresó con sus padres a Yelabuga, donde consiguió un trabajo en una cooperativa.

Guerra civil Rusa

En septiembre de 1918, cuando las unidades del Ejército Popular entraron en Yelabuga, Komuch, junto con su hermano menor Nikolai en el rango de suboficial, se unió a sus filas y fue asignado a la batería de artillería de la 8.º División de Fusileros Kama (2.º Cuerpo de Ejército de Ufá; desde marzo de 1919 fue miembro del ejército occidental). Más tarde, en los cuestionarios soviéticos, Góvorov escribió que había sido movilizado.

Participó en la Ofensiva de primavera de los ejércitos del Frente Oriental del Almirante Aleksandr Kolchak, en las batallas cerca de Ufá, Zlatoust, Cheliábinsk y Tobolsk. El 13 de julio de 1919, por orden del Comandante en Jefe Supremo, el almirante Aleksandr Kolchak, junto con su hermano Nikolai que sirvió en la misma batería, fue ascendido a subteniente.

En diciembre de 1919, Góvorov, junto con su hermano y varios soldados de su batería, desertaron de la unidad y se dirigieron a Tomsk, donde, como parte de un escuadrón de combate, participó en un levantamiento contra las autoridades antisoviéticas.

El 22 de diciembre de 1919, Tomsk quedó bajo el control del Ejército Rojo, y en enero de 1920, se unió a la 51.º División de Infantería bajo el mando del Mariscal de la Unión Soviética Vasili Blücher  como voluntario, donde se convirtió en comandante de un batallón de artillería. Pronto toda la división fue transferida al Frente Sur, donde, como parte del grupo de choque Perekop del 6.º Ejército bajo el mando del Komandarm de 2.º Rango Avgust Kork, la división participó en batallas contra el ejército blanco del general Piotr Wrangel.

En 1920, fue herido dos veces: en agosto, cerca del pueblo de Serogozy, durante las batallas defensivas en el área de Kajovka, recibió una herida de metralla en la pierna, y en septiembre, en una batalla cerca de Antonovka, recibió una herida de bala en el brazo.

Por el gran coraje y valentía mostrados en las batallas contra el ejército ruso de Piotr Wrangel durante la operación Perekop-Chongar, en 1921 recibió la Orden de la Bandera Roja, su primera condecoración soviética.

Periodo de entreguerras
En octubre de 1923, fue nombrado jefe de artillería de la 51.º división de fusileros Perekop (desde el 14 de septiembre de 1921). Desde noviembre de 1924, Góvorov se desempeñó como comandante del regimiento de artillería de esta división. Los habitantes de Odesa, donde se encontraba el mando de la división, eligieron a Góvorov como diputado del ayuntamiento y de su Comité Ejecutivo.

En 1926 se graduó de los cursos de perfeccionamiento de Artillería para personal de mando. En 1930, asistió a los Cursos Académicos Superiores en la Academia Militar Frunze, y en 1933 completó el curso completo de esta academia in absentia, se formó en su facultad operativa. Habiendo estudiado de forma independiente el idioma alemán, aprueba el examen de traductor militar. El 5 de febrero de 1936, recibió el rango militar de Kombrig (comandante de brigada). En el mismo 1936, fue incluido en la primera matrícula de alumnos de la Academia del Estado Mayor del Ejército Rojo. En 1938 terminó sus estudios antes de lo previsto y fue nombrado profesor de táctica en la Academia Militar de Artillería Dzerzhinsky del Ejército Rojo.

Durante la Gran Purga de Iósif Stalin. Góvorov, como antiguo soldado del Ejército de Kolchak y antiguo subordinado de Blücher, que fue ejecutado en 1938, tuvo suerte de sobrevivir. Primero fue cesado de sus puestos y amenazado con ser detenido, pero la intervención del mariscal Kliment Voroshílov y del jefe de Estado de la Unión Soviética Mijaíl Kalinin le salvaron la vida.

En 1939, al estallar la Guerra de Invierno entre la Unión Soviética y Finlandia, Góvorov fue nombrado jefe de artillería del 7.º Ejército. En este puesto comandó el masivo asalto de artillería que permitió el avance soviético a lo largo de la Línea Mannerheim en 1940. Por esta acción fue condecorado con la Orden de la Estrella Roja y fue ascendido a Komdiv (comandante de división). En el verano del mismo año, con la restauración por parte del Ejército Rojo de los rangos convencionales de la graduación de oficiales superiores (generales), se le otorgó el grado de mayor general de Artillería. En marzo de 1940 fue designado para el puesto de Subinspector General de Artillería de la GAU.

En mayo de 1941, un mes antes del comienzo de la guerra, dirigió la Academia Militar de Artillería Dzerzhinsky del Ejército Rojo.

Segunda Guerra Mundial
Después de que la Alemania nazi invadiera la Unión Soviética en junio de 1941, Góvorov comandó la Artillería en el Frente Occidental en Bielorrusia de agosto a octubre de 1941. Durante la Batalla de Moscú, fue nombrado Jefe de Artillería del 5.° Ejército, bajo el mando del mayor general Dimitri Leliushenko. Después de que Leliushenko fuera herido el 18 de octubre, Góvorov asumió el mando del ejército. Durante las contraofensivas soviéticas en el invierno de 1941-1942, su ejército liberó Mozhaisk. Como resultado, fue ascendido al rango de teniente general de artillería.

Batalla de Moscú

En el período del 5 al 9 de octubre de 1941, Góvorov trabajó en la organización de la línea de defensa de Mozhaisk. Por orden del Cuartel General del Mando Supremo (Stavka) del 9 de octubre, se le asignaron las funciones de subcomandante de las tropas de esta formación. El 12 de octubre, en relación con la entrada de la línea de defensa de Mozhaisk en la estructura organizativa del Frente Occidental, fue trasladado al puesto de jefe de artillería de dicho frente.

Sin embargo, unos días después, el 15 de octubre, debido a la lesión del mayor general Dimitri Leliushenko, Góvorov, asume el mando del Frente occidental, en un momento especialmente crítico debido a las intensas batallas defensivas que están teniendo lugar en las afueras de Mozhaisk a unos 110 km al oeste de Moscú. El 18 de octubre, las formaciones defensivas de la 32.ª División de Fusileros se abrieron paso y comenzaron las batallas para evitar un avance de los tanques alemanes a lo largo de la carretera Mozhaisk y la carretera de Minsk. En negociaciones con el mando del frente, Góvorov logra demostrar la falta de conveniencia de seguir luchando por Mozhaisk. El mismo día 18 de octubre, las tropas del 5.º Ejército abandonan Mozhaisk. En la primera quincena de noviembre, aprovechando una pausa de dos semanas en los combates, las tropas del 5.º Ejército organizan una defensa en profundidad en los accesos a Moscú, apoyadas por una poderosa barrera de artillería y destacamentos antitanques móviles, se preparan para la posterior contraofensiva, que expulsará a las tropas nazis de los alrededores de Moscú.

El 9 de noviembre, recibió el grado de teniente general de Artillería, y el 10 de noviembre recibió la Orden de Lenin. En la ofensiva del 4.º Ejército que siguió el 1 de diciembre, Von Kluge logró romper las defensas del 5.º Ejército en el punto de unión con el 33.º Ejército y, penetrar diez kilómetros en las defensas soviéticas, hasta llegar al área de la aldea de Akulovo. Al estar en el área de las batallas, Góvorov dirige personalmente las acciones defensivas y, para el 4 de diciembre, el avance ha sido detenido. El 6 de diciembre comenzó la operación Klinsko-Solnechnogorsk de las tropas del ala derecha del Frente Occidental, en la que, desde la segunda década de diciembre, participaron activamente unidades del ala derecha del 5.º Ejército. El 11 de diciembre, las unidades del ejército emprenden una ofensiva general y consigen hace retroceder al ejército alemán de las afueras de Moscú.

En abril, Góvorov fue hospitalizado con un ataque agudo de apendicitis; Iván Fediúninski le sustituyó al mando del 5.º Ejército.

Sitio de Leningrado

En abril de 1942, Góvorov fue nombrado comandante del Grupo de Fuerzas de Leningrado del Frente de Leningrado, que combinaba los antiguos Frentes de Leningrado y Vóljov. En julio, se restableció el Frente del Vóljov y Góvorov se convirtió en el jefe de todo el Frente de Leningrado, reemplazando al teniente general Mijaíl Jozin, el cual fue destituido por su evidente incompetencia.

Leningrado había estado aislada del resto del país desde septiembre de 1941, y las fuerzas soviéticas estaban tratando de levantar el sitio de Leningrado, que estaba causando daños colosales a la ciudad y un enorme sufrimiento a la población civil. El Camino de la Vida, que era el único medio de abastecimiento de la ciudad, se veía interrumpido con frecuencia por ataques aéreos regulares alemanes y finlandeses. Las fuerzas soviéticas lanzaron varias ofensivas en la región en 1942, pero estas no lograron levantar el sitio. La ofensiva de Liubán resultó en el cerco y la destrucción de la mayor parte del 2.º Ejército de Choque soviético. En esta situación, los antecedentes de Góvorov como artillero se consideraban más valiosos, ya que la ciudad estaba bajo constante bombardeo artillero, y una de las tareas de Góvorov era organizar una eficaz contraofensiva de artillería contra los cañones alemanes.

Tan pronto como se convirtió en el comandante del Frente de Leningrado en julio de 1942, Góvorov organizó ataques locales en varios sectores del frente, mientras preparaba una ofensiva mucho mayor. Junto con el Frente del Vóljov, el Frente de Leningrado rompería el bloqueo de la ciudad al eliminar las posiciones alemanas al sur del lago Ládoga, donde solo dieciséis kilómetros separaban los frentes Leningrado y Vóljov. Esta posición se llamó «el cuello de botella». Al mismo tiempo, las fuerzas alemanas estaban planeando la operación Nordlicht para capturar la ciudad y conectarse con las fuerzas finlandesas. Para lograrlo, llegaron refuerzos pesados de Sebastopol, que las fuerzas alemanas habían capturado en julio de 1942 (véase Sitio de Sebastopol). Ambos bandos desconocían los preparativos del otro. Como resultado, la ofensiva de Siniávino fracasó y el 2.º Ejército de Choque fue diezmado por segunda vez en un año, pero las fuerzas alemanas sufrieron fuertes bajas y se vieron obligados a cancelar la operación Nordlicht, lo que a la postre salvo la ciudad.

A fines de noviembre de 1942, Góvorov comenzó a planificar la siguiente operación para romper el Sitio de Leningrado. En diciembre, el plan fue aprobado por la Stavka y recibió el nombre en clave de operación Chispa (Iskra). La operación comenzó el 13 de enero de 1943 y el 18 de enero las fuerzas soviéticas se unieron, rompiendo el bloqueo. El 22 de enero, la línea del frente se estabilizó. La operación abrió con éxito un corredor terrestre de 8 a 10 km de ancho hasta la ciudad. Se construyó rápidamente un ferrocarril ligero (véase Camino de la Victoria) a través del corredor que permitió que llegaran a la ciudad muchos más suministros que a través del «Camino de la Vida», eliminando la posibilidad de la captura de la ciudad y un enlace germano-finlandés. Góvorov fue ascendido a coronel general el 15 de enero y recibió la Orden de Suvórov de primera clase el 28 de enero.

Los Frentes de Leningrado y Vóljov intentaron continuar su éxito con una operación ofensiva mucho más ambiciosa llamada Operación Estrella Polar. Esta operación tenía el objetivo de derrotar decisivamente al Grupo de Ejércitos Norte alemán, pero solo logró ganancias muy modestas. Govorov llevó a cabo varias otras ofensivas en el área en 1943, expandiendo lentamente el corredor hacia Leningrado y obteniendo algunos pequeños avances.  En noviembre de 1943, comenzó a planificar la ofensiva de Leningrado-Novgorod que expulsaría al Grupo de Ejércitos Norte de la región de Leningrado. El 17 de noviembre fue ascendido a general de ejército.

El 14 de enero, las tropas del Frente de Leningrado comenzaron la ofensiva Leningrado-Nóvgorod. Durante la ofensiva, el frente rompió las defensas alemanas profundamente escalonadas, derrotando al grupo de fuerzas alemanas en la zona de Peterhof - Strelna. El 27 de enero de 1944, las tropas alemanas fueron expulsadas a 65–100 km de la ciudad. El 27 de enero, tuvo lugar veinte salvas de 324 cañones, en Leningrado para conmemorar el levantamiento final del bloqueo, y Leonid Aleksandrovich Govorov dio la orden del iniciar la salva en nombre de Stalin.

Continuando la ofensiva, las tropas del Frente de Leningrado bajo el mando de Góvorov recorrieron unos 100–120 km, alcanzando el río Narva y capturando una cabeza de puente en la orilla occidental del río. Por el éxito en la operación para levantar el Sitio de Leningrado, Góvorov recibió el 21 de febrero la segunda Orden de Suvorov de  grado.

Captura de Víborg

El 10 de junio de 1944, el Frente de Leningrado, junto con el Frente de Carelia, la Flota del Báltico, las flotillas del Lago Ládoga y Onega, iniciaron la Ofensiva Víborg-Petrozavodsk con el objetivo de obligar a Finlandia a retirarse de la guerra.

La operación fue lanzada por las tropas del Frente de Leningrado (ejércitos 21 y 23 - más de 150000 soldados y oficiales), luego (en julio de 1944) el Frente de Carelia (ejércitos 32.º y 7.º) se sumó a la ofensiva. Govorov llevó a cabo una gran maniobra de distracción con una demostración del inminente ataque a Narva. Mientras tanto, la Flota del Báltico llevó a cabo una transferencia encubierta de unidades del 21.º Ejército desde el área de Oranienbaum al istmo de Carelia. Así, se creó un efecto sorpresa para el enemigo. La ofensiva fue precedida por ataques aéreos y una fuerte preparación de artillería de diez horas. Se utilizaron 500 cañones por cada kilómetro del frente. Los finlandeses fueron tomados por sorpresa. Durante diez días de combate, las tropas del Frente de Leningrado atravesaron tres zonas de defensa (11, 17 y 19 de junio, respectivamente) laboriosamente construidas por los finlandeses entre 1941 y 1944. la llamada «Línea Mannerheim». La tasa de avance fue muy alta y ascendió a entre diez y doce kilómetros por día.

El 11 de junio de 1944, el Cuartel General del Mando Supremo (Stavka) ordenó a las tropas del Frente de Leningrado que capturaran Víborg del 18 al 20 de junio. Por los éxitos logrados el 18 de junio, Góvorov recibió el título de mariscal de la Unión Soviética, y el 20 de junio, el  Ejército del Frente de Leningrado, capturó el suburbio sur y el centro de Víborg. Después de la captura de la ciudad, el Cuartel General reasignó las tareas para las tropas del Frente de Leningrado. La directiva del 21 de junio indicó que el frente debería despejar el istmo de Carelia de tropas enemigas del 26 al 28 de junio, al noreste del río Vuoksa y el lago Vuoksa. Cumpliendo estas instrucciones, las tropas del frente continuaron su ofensiva. El comando finlandés, al darse cuenta del peligro inminente, envió reservas con urgencia. Por lo tanto, en los primeros diez días de julio, el  Ejército pudo avanzar solo entre diez y doce kilómetros. Para entonces, el  Ejército había cruzado el río Vuoksa y se apoderó de una pequeña cabeza de puente en su orilla norte. En el período del 4 al 6 de julio, en estrecha cooperación con la Flota del Báltica, las tropas soviéticas, mediante el desembarco de varias fuerzas de asalto anfibio, capturaron las principales islas de la bahía de Víborg y comenzaron a prepararse para un desembarco en su costa norte en la retaguardia de las tropas finlandesas.

Mientras tanto, la resistencia finlandesa en el istmo de Carelia crecía cada vez más. A mediados de julio, operaban aquí hasta tres cuartas partes de todo el ejército finlandés (unas 60000 tropas). Sus tropas ocuparon una línea que era el 90% de los obstáculos de agua, que tenía un ancho de tres kilómetros. Esto permitió al ejército finlandés crear una defensa sólida. Una mayor continuación de la ofensiva soviética en el istmo de Carelia en estas condiciones podría conducir a pérdidas injustificadas. Por lo tanto, la Stavka ordenó al Frente de Leningrado desde el 12 de julio de 1944 pasar a la defensiva en la línea alcanzada.

Durante la ofensiva, que duró más de un mes, las tropas del frente obligaron al ejército finlandés a transferir fuerzas significativas de Carelia del Sur al Istmo de Carelia. Esto cambió el equilibrio de fuerzas a favor de las tropas del Frente de Carelia y, lo cual facilitó enormemente el ataque de las tropas del Frente de Carelia, así el 9 de agosto alcanzaron la línea de Kudamgub, Kuolisma, Pitkiaranta, completando así los objetivos previamente propuestos para la ofensiva Víborg-Petrozavodsk.

El 4 de septiembre, el gobierno finlandés llegó a un acuerdo con el gobierno soviético para poner fin a las hostilidades. A su vez, a partir de las 8:00 horas del 5 de septiembre, los frentes de Leningrado y Carelia, por orden del Cuartel General del Mando Supremo (Stavka), cesaron las hostilidades contra las tropas finlandesas, después de que estos aceptaran las condiciones soviéticas.

Liberación de los Estados bálticos

Del 24 de julio al 24 de noviembre, unidades del Frente de Leningrado, que llevaban a cabo las operaciones de desembarco de Narva, Tallin y Moonsund desarrolladas bajo el liderazgo de Govorov, derrotaron al grupo operativo alemán Narva y expulsaron al enemigo de Estonia. A partir del 1 de octubre, por orden del Cuartel General del Mando Supremo, simultáneamente con el mando de su propio frente, realiza la tarea de coordinar las acciones del 2.º y 3.º frentes bálticos en la ofensiva de Riga. Después de la liberación de Riga el 16 de octubre, el Tercer Frente Báltico se disolvió, y el primer y segundo Frentes Bálticos iniciaron un bloqueo de las fuerzas alemanas sitiadas en Curlandia (véase Bolsa de Curlandia). El 27 de enero de 1945, el mariscal de la Unión Soviética Leonid Aleksandrovich Góvorov recibió el título honorífico de Héroe de la Unión Soviética, con la Orden de Lenin y la medalla de la Estrella de Oro (No. 5370).

Desde principios de febrero, fue nombrado comandante de las fuerzas del Segundo Frente Báltico. El 1 de abril, el frente se disolvió y todas sus formaciones pasaron a formar parte del Frente de Leningrado. Dirigió las acciones de los frentes soviéticos contra los restos del Grupo de Ejércitos Norte (ahora llamados Grupo de Ejército Curlandia), cercados en la Bolsa de curlandia, Hasta el 8 de mayo, cuando el mando del Grupo de Ejércitos Curlandia aceptó los términos del ultimátum soviético y capituló.

El 24 de junio de 1945, el mariscal de la Unión Soviética Leonid Góvorov participó en el histórico Desfile de la Victoria de Moscú en la Plaza Roja, al frente de las unidades del Segundo Frente Báltico.

Posguerra
El 31 de mayo de 1945, recibió la Orden de la Victoria por la derrota de las tropas alemanas cerca de Leningrado y en los Estados bálticos.

En los años de posguerra fue comandante del Distrito Militar de Leningrado y posteriormente Inspector Jefe de las Fuerzas de Tierra. En 1948 fue nombrado Comandante en Jefe de la Fuerza de Defensa Aérea y en 1952 Viceministro de Defensa. En estos puestos supervisó la modernización del sistema de defensas aéreas de la Unión Soviética a través del avión de reacción y de la bomba atómica. Ya para ese tiempo sufría de una enfermedad crónica de corazón.

Falleció el 19 de marzo de 1955, en Moscú. Sus restos están enterrados en la Necrópolis de la Muralla del Kremlin de Moscú.

I've decided to treat the articles on my website as finished pieces and resist the temptation to rewrite or add onto them as new information comes my way. But that doesn't preclude annotating them occasionally by way of this blog.
I was pleased to note that the best segment by far of the batch of The Outcasts that I watched over the holidays was written by Anthony Lawrence. That confirmed my view of Lawrence as an adept commercial TV writer capable of occasionally going deeper with a poignant, heartfelt work, like his masterpiece, The Outer Limits' "The Man Who Was Never Born." The Outcasts, in case you've never heard of it, was an odd biracial western that ran on ABC for one season (1968-1969). It never quite made it as an allegory for Black Panther-era racial politics, but it did offer TV's first black male action hero who didn't take any crap from anybody, and it depicted the shaky camaraderie between buddy protagonists who were a former slave (Otis Young) and slavemaster (Don Murray) with a surprising integrity.
"Take Your Lover in the Ring" was the Outcasts episode submitted for Emmy consideration (Hugo Montenegro's score got a nomination) and the Museum of TV and Radio screened it in a 1993 program, so I'm not the only one who found it memorable. Lawrence's other Outcasts segment, "The Glory Wagon," was more in keeping with the show's emphasis on uncomplicated action fare. But I enjoyed being able to peg it as a Lawrence script even before his credit came on screen, because Jack Elam's flamboyant outlaw is introduced in the prologue as "Abel Morgan Blackner." It's yet another variation on a similarly named character, plucked from his wife's family history, whom Lawrence incorporated over and over again in his work. Sussing out the personal within the generally impersonal medium of mainstream television is the kind of task that historians haven't even begun to come to terms with. Individual instances like this one might seem trivial, but I think they add up to an important consideration when one tries to sort out how content was forged out of the variety of influences (cultural, financial, political, individual) at work in the TV industry.
It's foolhardy to speculate on who wrote what in these split-credit teleplays, but I'd wager (less than $500, though) that Katkov was responsible for most of Albertson's spare dialogue: "The hand, the stick, they eye. It's like they got a life of their own. They do what they want. It's like I'm not even there. Just the hand, the stick, and the eye." The first two seasons of Ironside, recently out on DVD, include all of these episodes (there's another Katkov credit in the third season, which will hopefully appear soon). If you're only sampling the show via online rentals or the like, these three are well worth including.
Finally, it was a treat to find some video of Don M. Mankiewicz on Youtube, in which he mostly discusses labor issues but also catalogs some of the same high points of a TV career that he told me about in our interview. So far it's the only positive dividend I can think of to come out of the devastating writer's strike of ought-seven.


I was attempting to make them individual, but it was just kind of a failed attempt and it did not work at all, I believe one save leads to before you rescue Elizabeth, and the other I have not tested, but is rather before the 2nd silent boy or before you approach Comstock. I found all Viewpoints, so you would just need to use one Kinectoscope(?) or telescope, and the rest is explained in a notepad document. Please reply if you have any problems.

Do not pick out folks that are not serious with regards to the test prep or perhaps the examinations, to the total. Conversation Should you aren't waiting around for a very important call, swap off or a minimum of silence your telephone to not be tempted to reply phone calls or send textual content messages. Make your study hrs amongst 9am to 5pm, and don't ignore the lunch hour.

Today in the Mission Yearbook
A chaplain learns the ministry of presence
<February>
On Presbyterian Federal Chaplaincies Sunday, we also remember the story of the Four Chaplains
Lord, you are my shepherd; I have all that I need. …
Even when I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. …
You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
—Psalm 23 (NLT)
Chaplain Smith is with Religious Program Specialist Sean Boyd in Fallujah in 2006.
When faced with chaos and danger, four World War II U.S. Army chaplains on a critically damaged Army transport together chose to offer their shipmates the peace they could. When nothing more could be done, these same chaplains laid down their lives, giving a few of those around them a chance for life. (For more about the Four Chaplains, see fourchaplains.org/the-saga-of-the-four-chaplains.)
This story from more than 75 years ago lives on to both inspire and steady those who have answered the call to military service. Few chaplains find themselves giving their lives for their faith as literally as the Four Chaplains did, but all have raised their hands and taken the oath knowing that they might. All of our chaplains have made that choice.
Serving as the Deputy Force Chaplain at Camp Fallujah, Iraq, in 2006, PC(USA) Navy Chaplain Mark Smith didn't travel frequently around Al Anbar province. When he did, it was usually a night flight on a Blackhawk helicopter. One rare daytime trip Chaplain Smith took as part of a vehicle convoy moving between Fallujah and Ramadi was a reminder of his call to serve no matter the cost.
After a successful mission and while nearing the fortified entrance back into Camp Fallujah and safety, an explosion sounded in the distance. Chaplain Smith breathed a quick prayer of thanks that the gate was in sight and they had reached safety. The Marines, however, did what Marines do — they turned and headed toward the explosion.
Soon a radio call came ordering a return to camp and all were spared. Chaplain Smith was stirred by the devotion of the Marines he served with that day, and knew he belonged among them. Chaplains are to be with those they serve, in every clime and place, regardless of the circumstances.
Our chaplains work with Marines, sailors, soldiers, airmen and Coast Guard members — from the greenest recruits to the most senior officers — standing ready to live out their calls in ways large and small, private and public. Today we recognize and honor the Four Chaplains and pray for those who are now serving as military chaplains. May they choose each day the example set in 1943 that such love can live forever.

O Lord of all, we thank you for the unity and love that the Four Chaplains evidenced for each other and for those they served as they chose to give their lives so that others might continue theirs. May their example be remembered and followed today and always. Today we pray for our chaplains wherever they serve. Keep them safe, O Lord, if it be your will; but even more, keep our chaplains close to you as they go with their flocks in every clime and place. We pray also for our nation and your world, that we might choose your way and pursue peace amid turmoil and hatred. Even as the Four Chaplains embraced despite their differences, may we overcome our differences and love others even as you have loved us. This we pray in your holy name. Amen.

Electric Emiliano Boffelli leads the way for new generation of Pumas
The Argentina full-back has been in superb form for the Jaguares in Super Rugby and carried it into the Tests.
In what was a breakthrough year for the Jaguares in Super Rugby, one man led the way in a thrilling style that took the Argentinian side all the way to the playoffs for the first time in their history – Emiliano Boffelli.
The Rosario-born 23-year-old built on an impressive second season in 2017 to firmly establish himself as one of the most exciting runners in the southern hemisphere, scoring 10 tries, making 28 clean breaks and beating no fewer than 65 defenders.
And Boffelli has been just as impressive at international level.
He made his Test debut in June last year against England, and although the Pumas lost the first nine matches he played, Boffelli stamped himself as a player of true class, crossing for tries in his first three Tests.
Indeed his performances were so good in a misfiring national team that he was nominated for the World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year last year along with Frenchman Damian Penaud and the winner, All Blacks flyer Rieko Ioane.
He has continued that form and more this season.
Comfortable on the wing, at full-back and even outside centre, Boffelli has all the skills.
Searing pace, superb in possession and he can even give the great Izzy Folau a run for his money when it comes to taking a high ball.
Boffelli uses speed and guile to outfox defenders rather than power. He is tall and rangy at 1.91m and just 93kgs. Compare that to Folau who is 1.94m and 103kgs.
A product of the Argentina youth system, Boffelli represented his country at U18, U19 and U20 level before a knee injury threatened to sideline him indefinitely.
But he came back stronger and quicker than ever as his performances this year attest.
The former Duendes club star puts a lot of his success down to his growing relationship with new Pumas boss, and former Wallabies forward coach, Mario Ledesma.
He also credits Ledesma's assistants, former Pumas scrum-half Nicolás Fernández Miranda and centre Martín Gaitán.
"We are getting to know each other more and more," Boffelli told La Nacion recently.
"The coaches try to force us to maintain the identity, with madness and laburo (hard work). It's about running up to drink water and to get together. I know of their histories: they were tremendous players. And as coaches they are very successful.
"You can see they know a lot about rugby. I'm sure they're going to do the team very well. So I'm really looking forward to this new stage, to learn and get the most out of Mario [Ledesma] and Nico [Fernández Miranda].
"I hope they teach me and I learn from them as much as possible."
Boffelli reaches for a ball against the Chiefs – a game the Jaguares won 23-19
The toughest decision for Ledesma currently is where to play Boffelli. The versatile Puma has switched seamlessly between wing, centre and full-back for the Jaguares.
But now with No1 Argentina full-back Joaquín Tuculet out for the year after rupturing the anterior ligament of his knee against the Chiefs in May, Ledesma has mainly used Boffelli in the No15 jersey.
It was a position Boffelli excelled in as the Pumas upset the Boks in Mendoza 32-19, running for 63 metres, making two clean breaks, beating four defenders as well making two offloads.
A lot of the good things the Pumas did that day started and ended with Boffelli, as he won his first Rugby Championship match at eight attempts – and just his second Test win in 16, the other coming against Italy in Firenze in November last year.
There has clearly been a marked improvement since Ledesma took over the national coaching reigns back in June after long term coach Daniel Hourcade stepped down. Boffelli though deflects criticism away from his former mentor.
"If there is something that should not be reproached is the relationship (with Hourcade)," he says.
"The group is very close; the players, very close together, and the relationship of the coaches with the players is very good, there is a lot moving forward.
"We hope to continue having in 2018 that mystique that is in the team to get the best way to 2019."
Despite the losing-streak breaking win against the Boks, Boffelli says the team must improve more against the All Blacks on Saturday.
"Without doubts, we have to improve in many things," he says.
"It was shown that many times it does not reach what we do. But the team knows what it practices, knows what it points to, and that's the most important thing.
"Luckily, we have time until the World Cup to reverse some things, and I think the team is very motivated and eager to learn. That has been showing the Pumas in recent years."
His skills in the air rival even Ben Smith and Israel Folau
Surprisingly for a team once known for its physical strength, Boffelli now feels that is one area the Pumas need to work on.
"There are teams that make a lot of difference in the physical," he explains.
"We are faced with very tough opponents, but the team felt very good physically last year. The tiredness was noticed at the end of the year, because the same team plays many games."
Boffelli says there is now more focus on the Pumas kicking game.
"In the tactical part, the foot was used more to get better out of our (part of the) field and not to wear out," he says. "Before we tried a lot more to play in our field and we wore a lot.
"We tried looking for spaces in (the defensive line), where they really were not.
"Using the foot we left better out of our field and, without complicating us, we put ourselves in a situation of pressure to the rival."
Boffelli began his Test career with a try scoring rush – three tries in three games. But since then he has failed to score in the next 13 Tests. He would like nothing more than a try on Saturday.
Boffelli playing against Australia in the 2014 Junior World Championships
"I had my debut in 2017 in the Pumas and in the match in which I debuted I made a try, and in the next one, too," he recalls.
"Then, I made another at the beginning of the Championship. I found that in three Test matches I had three tries. I could not believe it.
"For a wing to do tries is always very nice. Hopefully more will come (in this year's Rugby Championship)."
Boffelli finished 2017 by being awarded a sliver Premios Olimpia (Olimpia Award), Argentina's top sporting awards given annually by the Círculo de Periodistas Deportivos (Association of Sports Journalists) since 1954.
It will no doubt be the first of many awards in this talented young player's career.

Mango plant leaves were found to have natural capacity to accumulte heavy metals at significant concentration. Phytoremediation or biosorption for a new technology is aimed at removing these metals from dilute solutions or from the industrial waste like pulp and paper mill wastewater.The concentration of these metals was determined by ICP-AES. The method also indicated that the order of adsorption affinity was Pb2+>Cd2+>Zn2+, respectively.
Removal, Metals, Mango plant leaves, Biosorption.
Hazardous metal ions, specially, Zn, Cd and Pb have become prominent pollutants. Even the traces of these metal ions present in different types of waters may prove highly toxic (Forster and Salomons, 1980; Sterritt and Lester, 1980). The concentration of these metal ions is increased in waters by different types of human activites like mine drainages, industrial effluents, acid rain etc. Their removal from water is hence, significant and to meet these a large number of methods have been suggested. In the present method the mango plant leaves(MPL) has been used for the removal of Zn2+,Cd2+ and Pb2+. Some other workers (3-4) have also used plant substrates to remove different types of contaminants.
Mango plant leaves were collected from near by areas. These leaves was dried four hours in an oven at 60°C and finally powdered to give size to the sample particles between .075mm and .250mm. Dry powder of MPL was used for the bioadsorption (removal) studies.
Stock solutions (10000 ppm) of Zn2+ Cd2+ and Pb2+ were prepared in conductivity water. The solution pH was adjusted with HCL and NaoH. Exactly 100mL of sample solutions were taken into beakers containing 1gm of plant substrate. Each system was stirred for specific period of time. After stirring the samples were filtered. The filtrate was heated with 5mL of concentrated HNO3 and evaporated to near dryness on water bath. The residue was dissolved in 3mL conc HCL by slight warming made to volume and filtered to remove any insoluble material. The extract was analysed for Pb, Cd and Zn concentration by ICP-AES at Sophisticated Analytical instrument Facility (SAIF)IIT, Mumbai.
The experimental analsis was conducted to determine the actual amount of metals bound to MPL powder as wel l as the influence of pH upon binding of Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in paper mill wastewater samples. Three different paper mill wastewater samples were analysed by ICP-AES for their Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb 2+components. Table-1 illustrates the metal content of the pulp and paper mill wastewater (effluent) sample. It can be gleaned from the table that significant amount of Pb2+ and Zn2+ was present in all three wastewater samples while Cd2+ was present at very low concentration.
Previous experiments have identified the optimum pH values for binding of MPL powder to Zn2+ Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in artificially contaminated water samples hence the same optimum values were employed for each binding experiment in this study.
It can be seen from the table that binding capacity of the MPL powder towards Pb2+ in paper mill wastewater samples was found to be 29.71%(average). The result obtained is consistent with the literature (5) result obtained by Pili (32.30%) when MPL powder was mixed with the mixture of Zn2+ Cd2+ and Pb2+ in artificially contaminated water samples.
The sample observation has been noted in the case of binding of MPL powder with Zn2+ ions. Avearged of 26.3% was achieved of the binding of MPL powder towards Zn2+ ions present in all the sites. Ambignous result was obtained with the Cd2+ ions in all the three sites (Table 2) in which its concentration was found to be below the detection limit of 0.1ppm.
Results shown in Table 1 indicate that both at Ukai-Songarh and Padmji, Pune wastewater samples contain equimass amounts of Pb2+and Zn2+ i.e. about 1mg metal /1mL of sample and that it was Pb2+ which binds most to MPL powder than Zn2+ ions in these samples . This observation is in contrast to what has been reported, that is in the case of artificially prepared wastewater samples. The binding for equimass amounts of metals to MPL powder must follow this order Zn2+>Cd2+>Pb2+. Figure 1-illustrates that in natural wastewater system it does not follow the trend but rather both metals Zn2+ and Pb2+ prefer to bind to MPL powder in almost same concentrations. This could be attributed to the stronger affinity of Pb2+ to the MPL powder in the presence of the other competing ions. This is due to the higher relative ion exchange selectivity coefficient of Pb2+ than of Zn2+ , thus providing stronger ionic interaction with the sulphate groups of the MPL powder (Ronquillo and Gabarai-uana, 1989; Bohumil, 1990).The results obtained from the experiments demonstrate that MPL powder is a potentially effective extractive agent for the remediation of heavy metals such as Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions in paper mill effluent samples.

More than 1,000 members of the Jehovah's Witnesses (in Australia) have been identified by the church as perpetrators of child sexual abuse since 1950, but not one was reported to police, an inquiry has heard.
The Sydney hearing was told the church adopted a scriptural response to abuse, which it abhorred, and had files relating to 1,006 alleged perpetrators, dating back to 1950.
The process required witnesses to prove abuse took place, and no allegations were ever reported to police.
A 47-year-old woman, known to the inquiry as BCB, said she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by her family friend and church elder, Bill Neill, at Narrogin, south-east of Perth in the 1980s.

LaneSpotter, the new app that just chose St. Louis as one of its eight pilot cities, wants to be "like Waze for cycling" — a real-time source of best routes and road conditions that's designed for cyclists.
But getting good maps in St. Louis is dependent on getting cyclists to pitch in. Like Waze, LaneSpotter relies on those who use the roads to provide data. Until a good number are contributing, it's simply not as useful as it should be.
So this week, LaneSpotter is sponsoring "The Great Rate." All week long, cyclists are encouraged to help build the city's first cycling map, simply by providing information about their knowledge of various roads and trails in the area. While the app is currently only available for iPhones, you can only work from a desktop to help with the map-building.
Inducements include the chance to win a new Hakka MX bike.
Says founder Lynsie Campbell, "What makes this week so critical is that all of the features that we build moving forward will rely on the safety data that we collect. The faster we can collect this data, the more quickly we can move forward in providing lots of different tools to cyclists, like the ability to easily find a nearby bike shop, report large potholes, get updates on bike lane or trail closures.
"Our goal is to build an interactive experience that will help cyclists find the safest routes in their city, in real-time."
Campbell says St. Louis got picked as a pilot city in part because of the massive increase in the number of people biking to work to here — 270 percent in the last ten years, which she says makes it the fifth fastest-growing city for such commutes.
She says Trailnet also gave the project a big local push. "Upon hearing about LaneSpotter from a friend, they reached out to us to see what they could do to help make St. Louis a pilot city. It's always extremely helpful when an advocacy group is willing to help promote our app as a safe cycling tool."
Trailnet did its work. Now are you going to do yours? Visit The Great Rate's site to see if your knowledge can help ... or download the app.

we at Stampotique are in the second week of our current challenge - the theme is "Creepy or Scary".
I sponged the background with distress oxide inks and splattered water on it. I stamped the Majestic Tree and the ravens. The sentiment I stamped and cut apart and added it to the card. Also added some googly eyes to those birds.
If you send this to Carol she may have a heart attack. You've certainly got the creepy, spooky vibe down pat. The ink blending is beyond fantastic and love the sentiment.
Cool card and that background surely does look creepy or scary. Great job on this one.
Wow, die ist echt cool!! So ein toller Hintergrund ....und dann diese düsteren Vögel! Herrlich!
WOW!! Cornelia, what a fabulous card, I always love how you create this awesome sponged backgrounds, your little birds look amazing too.
Those are certainly some creepy birds, but you've made them less so by adding the googly eyes! Fabulous card! Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
Very atmospheric and dramatic ink blending, love the colours. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards.
Wow! very cool, Corneila! Thanks for sharing with us at AAA Cards Clean and Simple Ink Blending Challenge.

Unlike in LSF-6.4 or 6.5, section 5.8.1 omits mpfr and gmp. If I proceed so, gcc-4.4.0 does not compile, it's asking for them.
Since the website has been down, I do not have and hence I did not apply the 4.2.4 "cross_search" patch, which could or could have not been the right thing to do anyway. Is this the culprit? I did apply the "branch" patch though. Does this include the functionalities of the formerly mentioned as well?
Once I added the above two packages, the compilation took place very nicely, so I wonder whether this is a bug in the book or the configuration files, or I am doing something completelly wrong by trying to use 4.4.0?


Policy Change, Courts, and the Canadian Constitution aims to further our understanding of judicial policy impact and the role of the courts in shaping policy change. Bringing together a group of political scientists and legal scholars, this volume delves into a diverse set of policy areas, including health care issues, the regulation of elections, criminal justice policy, minority language education, citizenship, refugee policy, human rights legislation, and Indigenous policy.
While much of the public law and judicial politics literatures focus on the impact of the constitution and the judicial role, scholarship on courts that makes policy change its central lens of analysis is surprisingly rare. Multidisciplinary in its approach to examining policy issues, this book focuses on specific cases or policy issues through a wide-ranging set of approaches, including the use of interview data, policy analysis, historical and interpretive analysis, and jurisprudential analysis.

Sara Hart Weir is an executive, CEO and conservative who believes in empowering Kansas families through sound financial policy and investment.
Weir is a proud Kansan and product of our Kansas public schools (a graduate of Olathe South High School). Weir eventually went on to serve for many years as the president & CEO of the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS).
As CEO, Weir oversaw a multi-million dollar nonprofit organization that experienced record growth in community impact and achievement, financial health and viability and went from a three-star to a four-star Charity Navigator (top category) nonprofit, which included a 100% transparency and accountability ranking.
Weir's life has been about leading differently, serving others and delivering results with the leadership philosophy of "if you're not at the table, you are on the menu." Sara deploys an "in the trenches" leadership style by engaging directly with constituents — in local communities, in the classroom, on the job site or around kitchen tables. Weir's passion for "giving a voice to the voiceless" and ensuring underserved and under-represented populations have a seat at the table was inspired by Kasey, her best friend of 20 years who had Down syndrome.

Independent assurance that any issues arising from the process of producing, auditing and certifying the council's annual accounts are properly dealt with and that appropriate accounting policies have been applied.
Independent mechanism to oversee the financial reporting process and corporate governance arrangements.
The board is central to the provision of effective corporate governance, which depends, in part, on a systematic strategy, a framework and processes for managing risk.
Governance itself is also about increasing public confidence in the objectivity and fairness of financial and other reporting arrangements as well as helping to deliver improved services. This, in turn, depends upon assurance that issues raised in preparing and auditing annual accounts and other reports have been properly dealt with and recommendations implemented. It is important that the council has independent assurance about the mechanisms underpinning these aspects of governance.

Mr. Colombo recently tried a case in Clarksburg on behalf of two young boys who are from Bridgeport, West Virginia. This case involved a negligent driver who made an illegal left hand turn on South Virginia Ave. in Bridgeport and pulled out into the path of the car in which Mr. Colombo's clients were passengers. The young boys were twin brothers, were 9 years of age, and attended Simpson Elementary School.
Fortunately, Mr. Colombo's clients were not seriously injured. After a 2 day trial a verdict was rendered in favor of Mr. Colombo's clients.

Note taken! So….which tool would YOU like this year, dear???
Time to do the jobs you want is the real gift you can get. That's followed closely by the knowlege to do the job. If they don't know about engines, but are a real gear head send them to a small engine repair course at a local tech college. Also never tackle a job you can't make a good job that you would be happy to pay someone to do. There is a reason I don't own a spray can and panel tools. I don't have the skill to do a good or even adaquate repair.
Now the tools themselves can be looked at a few ways. There is the status symbol of a label, but for me I would rather have a 5 star review and save the extra cash (for another tool).
Then we have everyday use and ocassional use. For occasional use I balance the cash I'll save with the tool and doing it myself against the cost of a professional. I have a table saw and a mitre saw that saved me a boatload of cash when I redid my floors.
Now cleaning gutters. I wouldn't do that myself as I would be one of those idiots that fall off ladders. Oh wait!
I've done the falling off the ladder thing….NOT FUN!
When am I getting my pressure washer back?

Az Ezdrás hatodik könyve () néven fennmaradt apokrif írás gyakorta Ezdrás negyedik könyve latin fordításának végére szokott betoldva lenni (15–16. fejezetként).

Az írás – Ezdrás ötödik könyvéhz hasonlóan – 2 fejezetet tartalmaz és csak latin nyelven ismeretes, de egy kis görög töredék alapján feltételezhető, hogy eredeti nyelve görög volt. Tartalma egy apokalipszisehez közel álló fenyegető beszéd, amely bűnök büntetéseként háborúkat és természeti csapásokat helyez kilátásba. Szembefordul Babilónnal és Rómával, ezért egyesek a Kr. u. 3. századi keresztényüldözések idejére teszik keletkezései idejét a Római Birodalomnak egy keleti tartományára.

Kid's Entertainment
Variety Of Activities
A traditional and unique place to visit to entertain the whole family
The animated features of the Model Village add extra interactivity for the kids
On subsequent visits, the scale and attention to detail mean you'll see things you missed first time
Good sized playground which is an added bonus
Not-For-Profit organisation so profits go to charity
Things We Dislike
Narrow, busy paths around Model Village can make it difficult to navigate pushchair
Lack of indoor activities, e.g. if it's raining outside
Additional fee required for Bekonscot Light Railway, RC boats etc
Regarded as the oldest original Model Village in the world, Bekonscot in Beaconsfield gives a unique view into the past. With nearly two acres of grounds filled with small scale buildings and characters depicting 1930's England, an impressive Gauge 1 Miniature Railway and other kid-friendly attractions like a playground and ride-on train, it's a fab – and very different – place to visit for a family day out.
What Do We Think?
We've been to Bekonscot a few times over the last couple of years and have always enjoyed it. The main attraction at Bekonscot is the Model Village. This dates back to 1929 and is regarded as the world's oldest and original Model Village.
Set within 1.5 acres of beautiful gardens and miniature landscapes, the Model Village is made up of six fictional towns which show life in England in the 1930's. In total, there are over 200 buildings, 3,000 inhabitants and 1,000 animals to look at as you work your way around the winding path.
There's too much happening in the Model Village to list it all here, but there are a few particular things that we like. Chessnade Zoo in Greenhaily features loads of different animals, including a chimp's tea party Then there's Bekonscot Town, which is the oldest part of the Model Village, and gives you the chance to get up close with a fire station, cinema, pubs, shops and more.
From there, you'll reach the fishing village of Southpool, featuring cliffs, docks, boats and normal fish which look like giants thanks to the surroundings! The hamlet of Hanton is next, which has a working fairground, an on-fire house being seen to by the Fire Brigade and a large church. It's here where the newest additions to the Model Village have been introduced, including Hanton Underground Station and a water-powered funicular railway.
The last two villages are Splashyng which features a racecourse, morris dancers, cable cars and an animated lady cleaning the windows, and Evenlode & Epwood which has a large coal mine and big top circus. There's so many different details and intricacies to look at that will keep both parent and child entertained.
Around the Model Village, you'll also spot the Gauge 1 Miniature Railway which is a 10 scale miles model dating back to 1929. This weaves its way around part of the Village, providing endless fun for young kids as they spot the trains going over bridges, heading through tunnels and stopping off at one of the seven stations.
As you wander around, you'll also spot the Signal Box and Relay Room which control the miniature railway. Within here, you can get a feel for how complex it is to run the railway at Bekonscot as it's filled with buttons, levers and lights. If you're lucky, you might even spot a Signalman controlling the trains rather than it being automated.
There's more to Bekonscot than just the Model Village and Miniature Trains though. There's a good sized, outdoor play area consisting of two play frames – one of which is shaped like a boat. There's also remote-controlled boats, a pirate water game and a few small rides – all of which incur a small charge.
There's also the Bekonscot Light Railway. For an additional £1 per person (under 2's are free), you can enjoy a ride on the 7¼ inch narrow gauge railway. This can be found by the entrance and lasts around five minutes, as it takes you through a tunnel, via some gardens and around a pond with remote controlled boats, before returning to the start. It's a fun little addition, but sadly you spend most of your time around the back and see very little of the actual model village.
In terms of food, they have a Tea Room which serves hot and cold food, snacks and drinks. We've eaten there once before and it did the job. There's also a separate Ice Cream Parlour, which, you've guessed it, serves ice-cream and is nice for the warmer months. There's plenty of seating inside and outside so finding space isn't an issue – you're also allowed to bring in food, so a picnic is an option if you don't wish to buy food whilst there.
A couple of final things to note. Bekonscot is mainly outside (apart from the shop and cafe), so try to choose a nice day to visit otherwise it won't be as fun. Secondly, although the paths around the Model Village are accessible, they are quite narrow, particularly when you have other people stopping and blocking the path. So, where possible, consider ditching the pushchair and/or bringing a baby carrier. Finally, because the paths are tight and it can get busy, consider visiting when it's quieter so you don't feel as rushed.
The thing we've always liked about Bekonscot is that every visit feels different. There's so much to look at that you can't take everything in at once – particularly when you're with young kids eager to get to the next bit! As such, you notice little figures doing something you didn't expect or a shop with a humorous pun, that you missed last time around.
It's a great place to visit for the family and has the unique distinction of being different to many – and, if you need any more impetus to visit, Bekonscot is a not-for-profit so all money raised goes to charity.
