(By a Wandering Reporter).
On Wednesday, rooming, March .3, at1 ten o'clock,we started for Edithburg, a distance of thirteen miles over a good road, and, arrived at the Troubridge Inn at hodh. We again saw traces of election agents^. and in one of the rooms we found a voting' paper with the following line written in pencil at back:
" His past career will bear the strictest investigation."
I, forgot to look who this referred to, but! really do not think it was " Madge."'' Edithburg presents a more business-like appearance than any place we had yet seen, and bids, fair to be the chief place of the southern part. Boatman are met with like Gab drivers, and there is a hum of "Glenelg, Sir, Glenelg Sir," Soon after our arrival the cotter Victory started with a few passengers, and the mail boat with mails and passengers for Glenelg. KThere is only, one Church-a Wesleyan-one Hotel, the Troubridge Inn, at. the rear of which a large'hall
is iu^fepurse of erection. Opposite the Inn.
isS«!tuated the. Local' iCoui#," of which Mr Dash wood, was last week gazetted as the Stipendiary Magistrate. Apolice-trooper-is also stationed there, and the Folice Office is connected with the Inq. It is high time the Government thought about erecting suitable cell accommodation. The National Bank, Manager, is Mr T. Smith. This building is only a temporary one, the tenders for a new
structure <are called, -and will be in course of erection shortly. The Post Office business is conducted in a general store which serves also asa booking office for passengers by the steamers Boyal Shepherd and Lubra, and the Mail-Boat. Passengers are constantly arriving from Adelaide- During tbe last week in February the schooner Sailor Prince landed 38, and the Boyal Shepherd landed 40 on Tuesday, so that in course of. a. .little while this part will be a very important one. A road bag for letters and papers is badly wanted. Letters posted in Edithburg for Wallaroo go straight to town and. return by the. nest post, labelled "Missent.". "Now, ,there should'be a sorting office at either Green's Plains or Ktilpara, so ibat letters, -might go oh to Wallaroo, Kadina, and Moonta by the next coach. Letters written and posted on Wednesday morning, at Edithburg, will arrive in Adelaidethe same"day, and are sent on i to the Peninsula on Thursday, arrivicgsooner
tban our direct southern overland mail. I The jetty Accommodation is far from what it
i ought to.be, as only one vessel can. load at it' time. The present size, is-length* 150 feet; width, at end, about 11 feet; the other end-shore end-about four an 1 a half
feet.: A tramway is laid on the jetiy, on the three feet six gauge. Preparations are beiDg made to extend the jetty, 130 feet, and Mr Hall, Clerk of Works; is now carrying the work out. Mr Wishart is the contractor, and the -materials are being shipped from Port Adelaide.- When this work is completed, ample shipping accommodation will be afforded. The present depth of water at the end of jetty, at low water, is about eleven feet, and when it is extended the depth will
be fourteen. The 'schobner Adonis is loading wheat for Fort Adelaide, and a large quantity iadaily arriving from the surrounding farms, whilst a considerable amount is lying stored ready for shipment. At Mr Darling's store there are 8rOO0 bags, or about 1000tons, and Mr J. Gottschalk, who is buying for that gentleman, is giving 3s 6d per bushel, There are other two wheat stores, Dunn and Co.. and Harrison and Co., who have a large quantity ready for shipment. This year has
been the moat successful one the farmers
ever had m this part. The average yield
is estimated to have been sixteen bushels to the .acre-on some farms as much as twenty four bushels and on others less. Farmers have been considerably hindered by want of laborers. On some of the farms, there are heaps of wheat to clean up yet. The same will apply generally. The town is well laid out, and its distance from the jetly is only a stone throw. Trowbridge Light House, and the -hills of the farinaceous village are to be seen quite distinctly. The distance to Troubridge is about four miles. Tbe Fort Light and Grlenelg Light are often seen, and the run across to Glenelg can be made by sail in five hours. News was received at" the PoliceOffice on Tuesday of a large fire at Oyster Bay, and P.T. Howard visited the spot. An inquest was held on Friday, before Mr J. Gottschalk. Esq., and a jury of thirteen." There was not much damage done, but it might have been a serious case for Oyster Bay had it not been stopped. It was caused by stubble burning, and the flames
were extinguished by a number of residents who were quickly on tie spot, men and women. The Government have set apart a reserve, to be used for cricketing and athletic purposes, the size of which is fifteen acres; a Cricketing Association has been formed, of which Mr A. Leonard is the Secretary, and H. Kent Hughes, Esq., our late member, the patron. It is the intention of the Association to fence in this highly creditable gift, and erect a pavillion. The residents of
Edithburg can congratulate themselves upon, having such energetic and business men as -Messrs Gottsebalk and Smith, who both move in all public matters, arid in anything fcbat will tend to the welfare of the place. The Police Trooper, Mr Howard, is also very highly respected, and at this time of the year he has a good deal of work looking after farmers burning stubble.
On Wednesday we i*eeeived a kind invitation to visit the residence of Dr, Vonnida, at Lake Fowled.

OPENING OF LODGES
There used to be, I am told, persons who would be looked upon as explorers, who occasionally travelled 100 miles south of the mining district of Yorke's Peninsula. But this was in olden days, before free selection was an institution of this colony. Now, the case is widely different. The population in the South will soon be numbered by the thousand, and the ploughs.of the farmers have already caused thousands of acres of land to be covered with the waving golden corn. The houses of the agriculturists are succeeding the mia mias of the aboriginals, public buildings are being erected, the benelits of the clergy are being extended to the areas, and the question must arise shall the trade of this growing population be permitted to go toj Adelaide, or shall it be localized? The miners in the northern end of the district are desirous to purchase the farm, garden, and dairy produce of the growers of those on the areas, and wheat can be shipped to the other colonies or to England cheaper from Wallaroo than from Port Adelaide.
Under these circumstances, the question must arise in tho mind of any traveller, why this produce should not form a portion of the trade of the district, and why there should not be the utmost cordiality between the growers in the south and the consumers in the north. With an idea that this question should be ventilated as much as, possible, I left Moonta, on March 1, for a tour down the Peninsula, and was fortunate enough to find company in an officer of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, Manchester Unity, who had been deputed to travel the same route I purposed to take, in order that the benefits of the Order might be shared in by the settlers on the areas. The road from Moonta, oVer the almoBt proverbial sandhills for. the first 20 miles, need not again be described, therefore I say but little, .of what I saw until I found myself near to the agricultural settlements.
Stubble burning was the first intimation we had of civilization. The nearer we came to the large fires, the greater the heat, and the day was anything but a cool one. Haystacks, thatched-roofed and stone houses now adorn Maitland, and at one o'clock we arrive at the Maitland Hotel, just in time for dinner. We were rather struck with the appearance of the place, and with a fine English Church, 35 feet in length, by twenty feet wide, with stained'glass windows-the architect of which is a gentleman in Adelaide, and the Rev. C. Ooodenough Taplin, Incumbent of St Mary's Church, Wallaroo, is to officiate occasionally. A short distance from theEnglish Church a Roman Catholic Church is to be erected, the stone for which is on the spot, and it is expected that the building will be proceeded with in the course of a week or two. On the hill opposite - the Catholic Church a Wesleyan Chapel is to be erected, and close by a schoolroom, so that Maitland i will be famous for churches. There is only one
public-house, and that is doing a good business. Mr Marquardt, late of Moonta, has a site in the township, and carries on a fine business in mattress and harness-making. Next is a blacksmith and carpenter's sbop> and then another-Mr Shearer^ late of Wallaroo. Io a short time all kinds of agricultural implements will be made on the area. Mr Shearer expects to make twelve reapers next year, and last year about forty machines of different kinds arrived .from different makers in town, principally from the establishment of Mr Martin, at Gawler. The blacksmiths seem to have plenty of work, and when they are in a position to compete with other machinists no doubt they will be encouraged by the farmers having everything possible made on the area. There is also a butcher's shop, Post-Office, and General Store, another saddler and two shoemakers ; also, the Photographic Studio of
Mr S. 3D. Nixon. We also discovered traces of the recent election agents, in the shape of voting papers, private memos, &c.
OPENING- OF THE LOYAL MAITLAND
LODGE, No. 90.
On Monday evening, March 1, a lodge in connection with the Independent Order of Oddfellows, M.U., Daly District, to be called " the Loyal Maitland Lodge, No. 90," was opened at the Maitland Hotel, by Prov.C.S., W. Phillips. About November last steps were taken by the Moonta Lodge to get a Dispensation for this branch, it being the wish of several persons there to establish the Order at Maitland. At the District Meeting held on 28 th December, 1874, at Green's Plains, the matter was considered, and it was resolved that the District should apply to the Board of Directors for the said Dispensation, and that Mr W; Phillips, being the oldest District Officer, should open the said Lodge. Dr. Gosse, of Moonta, attended the opening and exaiirined the ; candidates; of which there were twelve, who applied for admission. After the usual formalities were gone through, they were initiated into the mysteries of the Order, the Dispensation presented, and the Lodge declared opened. This business was not completed until eleven o'clock, and then a " cold collation " was laid before the newly installed officers and members, to which ample justice was done, and the company dispersed. The Lodge is to meet in the large room adjoining the Maitland Hotel, which is very convenient. The following « are the names of office bearers:G.M., H. G. Hick ; N.G., Thomas McAuley; V.G., James Stevens; Secretary, Henry Pitcher; Treasurer, John Hill. The foregoing officers are Past-Officers of other lodges. We have no doubt that, with the experience and efficiency of these officers the Order will make great progress, and become in time, to the locality, a great benefit. Arrangements are being made with Dr Gosse to visit Maitland once a fortnight, taking with him a medicine chest, and thus the Lodge will confer, on the area, a great boon, saving in medical attendance a large amount of money. We believe during the short time Dr. Gosse was in attendance at the Maitland
Hotel, on Monday, he was called upon to
visit several of the residents.
Starting from the Maitland Hotel after breakfast onTuesday morning,we passed close to Mr Sogers' Yorke Valley Station, which lies down in the valley, and presents quite a picturesque appearance from the top of the hill. Passing on, the work of opening and closing sheep run gates commences. The country is rather hilly, but bad roads are not known, and very little saud. Sheoak trees are Very numerous in Maitland? and as we got further down they became still more so. Arriving at a shepherd's hut we reposed awhile, and then pressed on to Gum Flat. Between the hut and the Flat "kangaroos are very numerous, running in herds of as many as thirty-five, some being veiy large. About noon we arrived at Duncan's Well, at which we enjoyed beautiful water, and which rises within five feet of the surface. Farm -bouses and cultivated land are
passed, and Gum Flat is made at one o'clock,
where a surrey party are camped. Some very large gum trees, are growing here, and, strange to say, not one is to be seen outside . the Flat. On the hill beyond this is situated Anstey and Giles' head station, of which there are five buildings. At the station house there is a fine garden, with almond and other trees, and many plants. There is any quantity of fresh water in three wells on the Flat, and the troughs are made of gum trees, cut down the centre. Farm laborers are badly wanted on this station. The blacksmith of the PentonVale station isat present worktng here as a carpenter making sheep hurdles at £5 per hundred. He does not find kny material, not even the tools. The mallee is carted on the spot, and he can make about1 $0 a week. Passing by the station buildings we found some stony country for a mile or two, and on our right was the first lake. The couutry then changes, becoming hilly with good.roads, sheoak trees, and any quantity of I black grass. For agricultural purposes tbe
black grass country seems to be favorable, and the farmers speak highly of it. For miies the country is the came through which
| vre passed previous to sighting Hardwicke
Bay-a beautiful view. A steady rain set in, and we soon got wet, with night approaching fast, but, seeing a number of habitations, leaving us to believe that civilization and tbe
comforts of the Melville Hotel were not far
distaut. The rabbits are very numerous hiere, and for many miles around. They seem very tame and are shot easily. Many years ago Mr Penton put some tame rabbits in tbe bush, thinking that he would be able, in a little while, to enjoy rabbit shootingbut in a very short time they were exj tended thirty-five miles, and now they are a
great nuisance and do a great deal of damage on. the farms. At half-past five o'clock we I arrived at the Lake Sunday Head Station. Here there is also a nice garden, and any | quantity of fresh water. A sharp shower | then set in, and we found we had yet seven | miles to travel. Crossing Lake ounday and
rounding brush fences we had a really pretty i drive. There are many lakes, and most of
them are surveyed with the land, and fenced
| in, and a welt formed track around them Cqld, wet, and tired, we arrived at the Melville Hotel at half-past six o'clock. The tea table was literally crowded, and there was ' only one spare bedroom in the house. Great
excitement prevailed, and any amount of business was doing. A jolly landlord, and landlady, are found in the persons of Mr and Mrs liossiter, and the best of accommodation afforded. A large room has recently beeu erected adjoining the hotel, and opposite > there is a large General Store and Post-Office.
Next the store three allotments of land have been sold for business purposes, to a blacksmith, wheel right,' and a machinist. There isjalt-o a saddler, carrying oil a large business: Mr'S.. E. Nixon has a studio erected at tbe
ba&k of the Melville Hotel, .and is well patronised. A Police-Trooper, Mr Monument, is stationed at Weauers* Flat. A Roman Catholic Church, W^esleyan, and schoolrooms
are erected here. . Mr Eossiter of the
Melville Hotel, is styled the " King '' of the place, which has three names, Weaner's
Melville, an<ji Torketown; and Mr J. Gottschalk is the " Kijig'' of Edithburg.
On Wednesday morning, March 3, at ten o'clock, we started for Edithburg, a distance of thirteen miles over a good road, and arrived at the Troubridge Inn at noon. We again saw traces of election agents, and in one of the rooms we found a voting paper with the following line written in pencil at
"His past career will bear the strictest investigation."
I forgot to look who this referred to, but I really do not think it was " Madge.1' Edithburg presents a more business-like appearance than any place we had yet seen, and bids fair to be the chief place of the southern part. JBoatman are met with like Cab drivers, and there is a hum of ** Glenelg, Sir** Glenelg Sir," Soon after our arrival the cutter Victory started with a few passengers, and the mail boat with mails aud passengers for Glenelg. There ia only one Church-a Wesley an-one Hotel, tbe Troubridge Inn, at- the rear of which a large hall is in course of erection. Opposite the Inn, is situated the Local Court, of which Mr Dasbwood, was last week gazetted as the Stipendiary Magistrate. A police-trooper is also stationed there, and the Police Office is connected with the Inn. It is high time the Government thought about erecting suitable cell accommodation. The National Bank, Manager, is Mr T. Smith. This building is only a temporary one, the tenders for a new structure are called, and will be in course of erection shortly. The Post Office business is conducted in a general store which serves also as a booking office for passengers by the stpatners Royal Shepherd and Lubra,and the -Mail1 Boat. Passengers are constantly arriving from Adelaide- During the last week, in February the schooner Sailor Prince landed 38, and the Royal Shepherd landed 40 on Tuesday, so that in course of a little while this part will be a very important one. A road bag for letters and papers is badly wanted. Letters posted in Edithburg for Wallaroo go straight to town and4 return by t;he next post, labelled "Missent." Now, there should be a sorting office at either Green's Plains or Kulpara, so that ,letterf, might go on to Wallaroo, Kadina, and Moonfa by the next coach. Letters written and posted on Wednesday morning, at Edithburg, will arrive in Adelaide the same day, and are sent on to the Peninsula on Thursday, arriving sooner
than our direct southern overland mail. The jetty accommodation is far from what it ought to be, as only one vessel can load at a time. The present size is-length 150 feet; width, at end, about 11 feet; the other end-shore end-about four aud a half feet. A tramway is laid on the jetty, on the three feet six gauge. Preparations are being made to extend the jetty 130 feet, and Mr Hall, Clerk of Works, is now carrying the work out. Mr Wishart is the contractor, and the materials are being shipped from Port Adelaide. When tbis work is completed, ample shipping accommodation will be afforded.

' The Port Light and Glenelg Li^ht are often seen, and the run across to Glenelg can be made by sail in fire hours.- The Government have set apart a. reserve, to be used for cricketing and athletic purposes, the size of which is fifteen acres; a Cricketing Association has been formed, of which Mr A. Leonard is the Secretary, and H. Kent Hughes, Esq., our late member, the patron. It is the intention of the Association to fence in this high!}' creditable gift, and erect a paviilion. The residents of Edith burg can congratulate themselves upon having such energetic and business men as Messrs Gottschalk and . Smith, who both move in all public matters, and in anything that will tend to the welfare of the place. The Police Trooper, Mr Howard, is also very highly respected, and at this time of the year he has a good deal of work looking after farmers burning stubble.
On Wednesday we received a kind invitation to visit the residence of Dr. Vonnida,
at Lake Fowler.
OPENING- OF THE LOYAL EDITHBUBG
LODGE, No. 91
"On Wednesday evening, March 3, a lodge in conncction with the Independent Order of Oddfellows, M.U., Daily District, to be called " The Loyal Edithburg Lodge,* No. 91," was opened by Prov.-C.S.. W. Phillips. The Lodge was opened in the Wesleyan Church which was very tastefully put in order for the occasion. It is a fine large stone building provided with subtantial seats, &c. Two or three tables were placed in the room, on which covers were thrown over and to these at half-past seven o'clock sharp, the various officers took their seats, and the real business like way in which tbe affairs were carried through-the filling of every office, &c., reflected gj*eat credit on all those gentlemen who took such active steps in bringing the affair to so successful an issue ; Mr Smith of tbe National Bank, has worked hard, together with Messrs Farr and Grottschalk and hence the result. After the usual formalities had been gone through-the reading of charges, &c. - Mr Phillips declared the Lodge duly opened, and then proceeded with Lodge business. Dr. Vonnida, of the district, examined and passed twelve candidates and the receipts of the evening amounted to
the handsome sum of £41 15s 5d. At about ten o'clock lodge business wa9 declared closed, and the officers closed the Lodge in .the usual way. An adjournment was made to the. Troubridge Ion, and some refreshments were partaken of.
The toast, " Health to the Lodge," was proposed by the Mr J. Grottschalk, who stated that he hoped this course would not be pursued, viz.-Retiring to the Ian for drinks after the Lodge had closed. They did it that evening in respect to the Prov.-C.S., and to wish the Order success. He hoped to see Mr Phillips amongst them again. He thought that tbey had been highly successful in their undertaking and hoped that they would prosper, as they had had a very fair start, and it just required regular attendance on the part of tbe officers, combined with the attendance of as many of those memberu who could possibly make it convenient. There were some who lived fifteen miles away and these they could not reasonably expect to come. He would close by wishing the Lodge success.
The toast was drunk amidst applause.
, Prov.-C.S. W. Phillips then returned
thanks for the excellent manner in which he had been received. He did not think'it likely he would be down again for some time at least, but the Grand - Master intended visiting this southern portion of the Peninsula, and the Lodges in particular. The Maitland and Edithburg Lodges hsd_started on the same footing, and time would tell, a tale. . He hoped they would both prosper* (Applause). The affairs of that evening had been carried out' in a real systematic and business-like way, and he was highly pleased. As for himself he would do anything in his power to help them, and they knew who to apply to for help if required. He was also pleased with their financial state. It was a good beginning and also gratifying to him to think that this money had. been gathered before-hand, and all preliminary arrangements gone into before applying for
the Dispensation, which he wgs proud to say
bad been presented to them, and he hoped they would do it honor ; that their mciubeis would increase, thus aiding their funds, and that sickness would, amongst them not be prevalent. He joined the Order in fiftyeight, and had met with many friends. Coming through Maitland he met with an Oddfellow, who was on a roof - working, and he had also met with a friend in the person of Dr. Vonnida, who Jiad invited him to visit his residence the next day. He was the corresponding Secretary for seven Lodges, and for this work he got £20 per annum, finding office accommodation, &c., &c. The total worth of Lodge funds amounted to £4067 lis 9d. He would also ask them to work economically, so that they would have money to aid the Widow and Orphan, and thus work out the philanthropic principles of the Order. He would close by wishing them all success, and he could assure them that so long as he could wield the pen he would do all he could for them. (Applause).
Tbe toast was drunk with Lodge honors.
Secretary Bro. Earr wished the Order success. They had resolved to form .a Lodge some time ago, at a meeting at the Troubridge Inn, the money had been collected, and now they had just finished drinking success to the newly established Lodge. He did not move in the matter with the idea of getting the Secretaryship. It was the las,t thing he thought about, but he would do his best to carry out the duties of the office to which he was elected. (Applause),
Gr.M. Bro. Smith then stated that the evening which they so long looked forward to, had come and they were now at last celebrating the opening of the hard-worked for Lodge. He had done a little towards it, spent a little time over it, and trouble too, but this he thought recompensed everything, viz.-The successful evening, and the plea,
sant way in which all the officers went to work. He would endeavour* to the best of his ability, to promote Qddfellowship, and do all he could foy the advancement and prosperity of the Order. They had started with a small number, but it must be remembered that the place was yet young, and there were always passengers landing to settle amongst them, and he had not the slightest hesitation in spying that in the eowrse of a few months tbe lodge WQU1<$ number fifty. Let each brother exe^t fcimself, fetch one friend each, and th$t would increase them one hundred per cent., but he thought more than this could be done. At any rate, they would hope for the best. (Loud Applause^
After a pleasant evening had been spent, the meeting broke up at a late ho.up, '
In connection with Lodge business arrangements wers entered into tp secure the
services of Dr. Yonnida, who is a great favorite in that portion of the district. Dr. Vonnida's residence is situated near the Seven Roads and seven miles from the Lodge-room. The following are the uamea of the Office-bearers for the next six months: -G.M., Thomas" Smith;. N.G., J. Gottschalk ; Y.G., Kenneth McLeod ; Secretary, P.G., G. Farr; Treasurer, G.M., T. Smith.
Bidding adieu to Edithburg, fit ten o clock, on Thursday morning we started for Lake Fowler and then on to the residence of Dr. Vonnida, which is situated on a very -pretty spot, aud close to Lakes Fowler and Diamond. The Surgery is fitted up well, and In it there is a beautiful assortment of specimens and curiosities from Strangway's Springs. Sliding Bock, Moonlight Creek, and other places near the Blinman -.--Native chisels, knives, boomerangs, swords, waddies; and all kinds of net work. Dr, Yonnida was presented with two addresses from the Oddfellows and Foresters on leaving the Blinman, where he was highly respected. A gold and silver medal, together with a scarf, was also presented him by the Orders, of which he is a member. A valuable doublebalanced chronomoter gold watch with an inscription inside together with an address numerously sigued was also presented him .by a few friends. Leaving his residence in the afternoon, we made Weaner's Flat, and then on to Thing's Lake. This lake is leased by a company in town, for the purpose ot working gypsum, of which there is abundance in the lake; in fact, in all the lakes, gypsttm can be raised, and the only Apparatus required is a few tools and a trough. It runs from -one
,inch to eighteen inches in thickness,crops up . nearly on the scrface of the lake; and is . very
clean. After being raised, bagged earned to ; s,, Salt Creek, and from thence shipped totowfl, " it is worth 27s per ton. It is then manufactured into Plaster of Paris, and. sold at 2d per lb., or £12 per ton. For the material there is always a ready market; and there are any number of lakes which might be worked with profit. It could also, be manufactured into Piaster of Paris on the side of the Lake just as well as in town: One hundred years would be taken to wort the Lake out, and then it would be ready to commence again, as it forms very quick. It
is worked out in beds. On the side of the . , Lake there are three or four tons of gypsumin one heap, and about fifty bags ready for shipment. From the Lake we go on to Yorketown, and there met and spent the. the evening with several travellers, andothier gentlemen.
1 Starting from "Weaner's Mat at seven o'clock on Friday morning, with a sharp drizzling rain, we arrived at Gum Flat at 9.30! ? The Surveyors have finished their woVk here, and have gone further on. Leaving the Hat at eleven o'clock, we soon arrive once more at Duncan's Well, and then take .a different route more inland ou to Giles' Station, Spicer's Flat. Here the surveyors are camped. From Spicer's Flat we went through the runs, and then round to Mount Sat, where there is a beautiful well, and plenty of good fresh water. The road from Spicer's Flat to Mount Rat is a very bad one, six tniles of large boulders to travel over, and forcibly reminded us of the lines: -
" Battle his bones over-the stones," &c. - - - ;
A short distance from Mount Rat there is another place famous for its water and caves Currymulka. Some of the caves run under the road, leaving just the limestone crust to travel over, and a depth of 130 feet belpw. On the road there are many holes which lead into the caves, and when travelling across, the souhd is likened unto that of many drums. In course of time it is expected the road will cave in, as the limestone crust is crumbling away fast. Passing over the so called Mount we saw some beautiful country, between it and Rogers' Yorke Valley Station, arriving at Maitland hungry, tired, and terribly sunburnt, at four o'clock p.m. Bills are posted up throughout the township calling a meeting to be held at the Maitland Hotel, to take into consideration ! the question of a railway from Moonta to Ardrossan. Great anticipations are held by most people of Ardrossan becoming the shipping port of the Peninsula, and instead ot breadstuff's, &c., coming through Xadina, everything will be landed at Ardrossan, and so smother Kadina. On Saturday piorning, at eight o'clock, we started on our homeward journey, through the Bridle Track, then on to Moonta Mines, and from there to Port Wallaroo, having spent a pleasant week.
I would strongly recommend travellers and others visiting the southern part of the Peninsula to take the road, from the eastern corner of the Moonta Cemetery, in preference to the Penang. or BLalkabury roads. 'Tyjere are about thirty-five sandhills between Moonta and Maitland. From Maitland to Weaner's Flat, I would also suggest the Mount Rat road in preference to the Mail track, as water can be obtained at the Mount, and on the other road, there is a long stage -over thirty miles-and not a drop of water. The distance is the same taking either track. Gum Flat is the first «tage made from Maitland-about thirty-five miles, the next, Lake Sunday, about twenty miles from Gum Flat. The distance to Yorketown from Lake Sunday is about five miles, and from Yorketown to water's edge-Edithburg-thirteen miles a radius of about fifty miles in different directions fresh water, can be obtaioed. At Lake Fowler a trough is fixed close to the bank on the side of the lake, and from the bank water oozes continually into the trough. At other places theie are wells ; and although so close to the salt lakes the water is not even brackish.
Down the Peninsula, a great deal of excitement prevails, each township fighting against the other. Oyster Bay is to be the shipping port, so is Salt Creek, and so is Edithburg, but Salt Creek has no water ; Oyster Bay a little and Edithburg more and a jetty besides. The inhabitants are strongly advocating a separate district, and hold hopes of gaining it. They say that their district is an important one, being one of agriculture, and that mining and agriculture are widely different, so they want a division, and are going to advocate strongly for members to represent the interest of agriculture only. Election matters were not thought much of until Mr Duncan announced his intention of standing, and then excitement prevailed.

Thermal sensitivity of marine communities reveals the most vulnerable to global warming
The sensitivity of marine communities to ocean warming rather than rising ocean temperatures will have strong short-term impacts on biodiversity changes associated with global warming, according to new research.
The study, involving scientists from the Universities of Southampton (UK), Stockholm (Sweden) and Tasmania (Australia), found that while some communities – a set of interacting species – are comprised of species that live at the edge of how much heat they can tolerate, others may have a greater tolerance or 'bias' to warming oceans. This bias is due to the combination of historical, ecological and evolutionary factors that play an important role in determining which species are found where.
By understanding the size of a communities' thermal bias, scientists will be able to predict and prioritise which areas are going to be most vulnerable to ocean warming.
Study co-author Dr Amanda Bates, from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, said: "In 100 years from now, 100 per cent of species in many communities will be lost and replaced by new species able to tolerate warmer conditions, leading to a redistribution of species across the globe."
Using data from the Reef Life Survey, the researchers measured the geographical and thermal distributions of 2,695 shallow reef fish and 1,225 invertebrates from Greenland to Australia to measure the thermal bias for communities around the world.
They found that locations where the average summer sea surface temperature is presently 24 °C, such as the Gulf of Thailand, southwestern Caribbean and Three Kings-North Cape in New Zealand, are the most vulnerable to changing community biodiversity. This is because most of the species making up these communities are already living near the edge of their temperature distribution.
Dr Bates said: "A strong focus in climate change ecology has been on quantifying the exposure of different regions of the globe to warming. Our work offers new tools for measuring the sensitivity of communities to change including accurate indicators that can be used to predict vulnerability."
The research, which is published in the journal Nature, was funded by the Australian Research Council and Marine Biodiversity Hub.

The two men met twice within the space of a week at the beginning of the year and were full of enthusiasm for each other's work
Mr Brown's wife Sarah has become a good friend of David and Victoria through her charity work
David and Victoria invited to spend weekend at Chequers
After their successful meeting earlier this year, Gordon Brown and David Beckham are getting together again.
LA Galaxy's footballing ace and his Spice Girl wife Victoria are to join the Prime Minister and his wife, Sarah, at Chequers. The weekend break is a thank-you for the couple's support in the past.
"Sarah does a lot of charity work and has previously called on Victoria to help," a friend of the Beckhams told the People newspaper. "They get on well and Sarah knows Victoria and David can be relied on to send signed books or jeans or give time if possible."
The two men met each other in January, when the handsome midfielder visited Downing St.
"He's a very good man," said David at the time. "He's a man that's looking after our country and he is doing a very good job."
Then, just a few days later, the British premier visited David's footballing academy in Greenwich.
No date has yet been set for the visit.

CAPTION: Young people will be offered subsidised tuition and get the opportunity to perform at their local church
PipeUp Devon scheme pulls out all the stops to inspire young organists
Posted: 25th September, 2020
A new scheme to encourage young people to learn to play the organ is being launched in Devon by the Diocese of Exeter.
PipeUp Devon has been set up by three experienced organists: Andrew Millington, the former Director of Music at Exeter Cathedral, Peter King, the Organist Emeritus at Bath Abbey and Ian Curror, the former Director of Music at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
It aims to inspire 11 to 18-year-olds who already play a musical instrument to give the organ a go.
It is hoped training up a new generation of organ players will eventually increase the number of people available to play some of Devon's historic church organs.
Beginner to Advanced Tuition
Pipe Up Devon has been inspired by similar schemes elsewhere
Andrew Millington said "Mozart described the organ as 'the king of the instruments'.
"We hope to revitalise the art of organ playing by offering training to young players."
He said the organ was an instrument for everyone, regardless of class, background or age "The organ and church music has been my lifelong passion since I was a parish choirboy and I would consider myself neither posh nor holy (try as I might with the latter!)
"A degree of innate talent is needed in order to make progress, but basic enthusiasm is the key, plus some parental support."
The PipeUp Devon initiative follows a similar successful scheme in Salisbury Diocese.
"Organists delight in the rude noises they can produce with their feet and the opportunity to shock unsuspecting congregations with their loud trumpets." Peter King, Bath Abbey Organist Emeritus
Students who take part will receive subsidised tuition at all levels, from beginner to diploma standard.
They will be taught by experienced tutors, with lessons available across Devon.
Opportunities For Performance
Peter King said he had begun playing the organ as a school boy, but with fewer children now regularly going to traditional church services, there were less opportunities for them to hear the organ and be inspired to play themselves.
He said: "Playing the organ is endlessly fascinating because all organs are different, each has its own range of colours.
"Because some churches need an organist every Sunday there are lots of performance possibilities, so students will not be learning the instrument in a vacuum.
"Leading a congregation in the singing of a hymn or a carol can be an exciting responsibility, there may be 100 or more people in the building (in non-Covid times) and you, as the organist, are in charge!"
The funding has come from the Ouseley Church Music Trust and the St Wilfrid's Trust, as well as money raised through the Exeter & District Organists' Association.
Part of the scheme involves students volunteering to play the organ at their local church once they have learned the basics.
It is hoped this will benefit the student, the church and the local community.
Peter King said learning the organ could really suit young people who liked a physical and mental challenge, "No other instrument requires you to play with both hands and both feet, to play on two, three or four keyboards and to change stops.
Learning the organ is challenging but rewarding
"Acquiring the skill to manage all that is a tremendously satisfying experience.
"Organists delight in the rude noises they can produce with their feet and the opportunity to shock unsuspecting congregations with their loud trumpets.
"Holiness is the last thing that is needed in an organist, and is often not found. On the whole we tend to be rather an earthy lot!"
Andrew Millington agreed that playing the organ was a special experience.
"There is nothing like the thrill of filling a large building with glorious sound and enhancing worship in regular services and special ceremonies such as weddings," he said.

Now CHARITY workers are going on strike!
By pellinore,
pellinore
More than 600 workers at the housing and homelessness charity Shelter are beginning an "unprecedented" fortnight of strike action on Monday in a dispute over pay – coinciding with one of its busiest times of the year.
The Unite union said a 3% pay increase this year had left some of Shelter's staff unable to pay their rent and very worried about the possibility of becoming homeless themselves.
Shelter said some of its services would be "temporarily impacted" during the strike, but added: "We are making every effort to continue to serve those in need of our help."
The two weeks of strike action will see its staff join postal and rail employees and workers across a number of other sectors who are taking part in industrial action over pay in what has been called "the December of discontent".

I have some sympathy for the Afghans if they are ones who assisted the Brits during the war there and who are now at risk from being killed by the Taliban because of that.
I have little sympathy for the people crossing in boats across the Channel- the arguments in support of them- they speak better English than other European languages, and they might have family here seem a bit hollow to me. And the family connection irritates me- why should we host a whole extended family because someone has gripe with their government?
When war broke in Ukraine, President Zelensky declared a state of emergency, imposed martial law and stopped men between the age of 18 and 60 leaving Ukraine- that's what you have to do when there is conflict, so why are so many young men seeking asylum anyway?

I agree with you 100%. Even during the balkan war Croatian and Bosnian men stayed to defend their countries and in some cases, like mine, we left the country we were working to join the ranks to defend. That said not eveyone was able to fight or be there.
However, in cases like migrants from Afghanistan, Syria, Africa...one must realise that the west has mostly contributed to such a scale of migrant influx to Europe. We screwed up their countries, imposing our puppets as their leaders, forceing them to sell their oil, diamonds, gold....for a fraction of the cost, forcing child labour....of course it had to burst one day. It had to come to bite us.
All this is just the reaction of our decades long actions in their countries. The worst thing is that the ordinary people in Europe are not at fault for the actions of their governments but they are the ones paying the price. The leaders just resign as they please with no consequenses but it is left to the population to deal with it.

To be honest I did not know that so many Albanians are trying to get into Britain. I know that Bosnians are moving to mostly Germany, Austria and Switzerland as legal guestworkers but that with Albanians shocks me a bit. They do have a nice coast that could bring in a lot of money but seems like the government is not letting it happen. Thousands of good paying jobs could be created.

So I had one dream and an AP style thing. Bunch of other stuff to note as well i guess. I think the ap was caused from intention to help a fellow DVer with ap stuff.
I was indulging in earthly vice of online video game and had a video about dream yoga playing in the background.
Somehow youtube went to a video regarding Quantum touch healing thing. Talking about need to release emotional pain etc. I found it interesting so I decided to read the book and tried a few Techniques.
I slept for a while and woke up, maybe a few fragments.
Woke up then slept diagonally and just stopped using pillows. I felt the urge to try out the quantum touch stuff. Felt pain in an old surgical scar. I proceeded to try out techniques. I remembered the video about the need to release the anger. So I did. I remembered all the crappy memories back then and decided to face all the emotions I held back.
I had a teacher who was very... Spiteful and one dimensional who based a majority of our grade on notebook cleanliness. Mine was a mess. I never really needed those things. I just remembered everything. And my home life was a mess. Just like my notebook. I got 0 on each of notebook mark and was barely passing even though without that I'd have the highest grade in class.. She made us sign stuff from home that the parents would see the mark.
The stress made my appendix explode. I almost didn't seek help. Part of me wanted to die. A big part. Had a surgery. Botched surgery. Had to stay home (just moved to the house in the dream below, right during my hospitalization) with nurses coming daily to change the gauze that got stuck to the flesh and drain the infection. Nothing to do but watch TV without cable. Money making infomercials and kids shows. Lasted a few months. Went back to school. Stress from incompetent teacher. Wound reopened the same day and repeat above.
I cursed them all. I don't like being mad but I needed to release the energy. The scar I touched began to hurt. The nerves ran pain through my whole abdominal from the groin up to the chest right below the neck. Shooting sharp pains. Like needle being dug into flesh and pushed through in a vertical line. I honestly didnt even care about all this. About my memories. But if these memories are being replayed in background, they need to be gone, released, transformed. So I can make MILD or just intentions work without stuff blocking it. Yeah might sound overkill for LD fun but I think it's important for many other things too. Need to throw away garbage for a better self. Felt my body getting balanced. Muscles that wouldn't move properly before started to get better. Not prefect but better. I'll keep practicing then.
Focused on MILD after that, didn't want to dream about angry stuff. Had trouble sleeping.
I had dreamt about a house I lived in while in high school in the suburbs. I was in the with couple of friends from back then. I went into the basement, there was a furnace. I let the furnace go out of control and it burned the house and everything around it. The heat was slow and heavy, like magma or radiation. I think this represented my letting go of energy stuck deep emotional sink earlier.
Went to a plaza nearby. In the supermarket there were special black peppercorns. Duno why but I was very interested in the peppercorns. I saw friends and others escape from the fiery abyss as I excited the store. And continued to check out other places. I found a quaint little snack shack sort of. And my friend L was working there. She was a short cute little Asian girl if that matters. They sold peppercorns there too and it was half the price of the other store!
Stay awake for a while had trouble sleeping. Just focused on breath. Kind of meditation as I lay there. I realized I failed to LD today but. I thought forget about it. Took my own advice that I gave to a dv member about just rest and stuff regarding ap. I just thought I'd get good rest, no Ld or anything.
When I woke up I had the familiar vibration sound. It's that sound that happens before dream and stuff. I focused on it. Made it stronger. Felt like I lost it so I tried again. The vib kind of waned; I thought I failed but remembered to try to stand up from my previous experiences. I did and popped out. It was very dark though. Couldn't see my hands as I explored my bedroom. Tried rubbing hands didn't work tried again didn't work. I saw trace of light leaking through the curtains so I went there. I opened them and brilliantly bright and warm yellow light basked me.
I focused on the vib again and it happened. I pushed myself out. This time I wanted to go outside. Headed out the room and saw stairs (heard whispers like ghosts or watevs but I paid it no mind) most stuff was the same. Went out the door to backyard and I saw those grape pillars you grow grapes (these are not suppose to be there) on that intersects at top like hash tags, not sure what they're called. I decided I wanted to fly through one of the hash tag openings and I jumped. Jumped about 2 3 meters but didn't fly. I climbed up and kept climbing.
Pushed myself out again. But this one didn't last very long.
Pretty long rant but I guess everything is connected. A little before the surgery I had my first sleep paralysis, well maybe many. Wasn't intentional just happened randomly and couldn't sleep. Didn't have much after that. So maybe me letting this stuff go reconnected some stuff.
My first experience I think was something like this. I had laid in bed for a nap and felt scared and heard scary vibration. I couldn't move and I saw a vision. I heard a heart monitor, "beep beep... beep" and I saw a hospital room. I saw a face of a middle aged caucasian man maybe 40s I think he was closer to 30 but bad health made him look older. Long face,sickly pale white as a ghost, freckles, short graying hair. Face shape similar to Dr. House but long before that show came out. The heart monitor for faster and faster. Beepbeepbeep. Until it flatlined, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Anyways back to Ld. I almost always become lucid in my dreams if I hear the vib during it so could I induce it myself somehow?
A little week ago I had a DC trying to teach me true meditation. I woke up and heard vibrations when I tried to go into meditative state... Can I master that? Can I meet him again? So many questions.

was at Lendrick between 1966 and 1970.
My main memories are of getting into mischief. Midnight raids on the girls house in Rumbling Bridge, smuggling cigarettes at the beginning of term, and building 'secret' underground smoking dens in the woods. I was always running away - doing a 'bunk' as we called it. I'm still not quite sure why since my home life was certainly not an improvement on Lendrick.
My fondest memories are of the carpentry shop run by a strict teacher, Mr. Kerr. As I remember he died while I was still at school. He would take boys under his wing and give us evening privileges to work on our projects. Overall I believe that whatever decency I developed later in life came in part from a few caring teachers at Lendrick Muir who were committed to reaching out to myself and the many troubled youth at the school.
I spent my later teens vagabonding in Europe and North Africa, growing up and learning a few trades. By the time I went to the USA four years later I was already on a learning curve that led me to attend University in Philadelphia. Over the following decade into the 1980s I started several businesses in the construction industry, building and renovating homes. I lived in Israel in the mid-eighties, got married, and travelled the world for a year with my new bride.
The nineties were spent partially in the USA and partially in Israel where I was becoming involved in the political issues. Since 2000 I have been living in Israel with my wife and two children and been deeply involved full time with Palestinian/Israeli issues. Since 2006 I have been running the 'Green Olive Collective', a cooperative of Palestinians and Israelis. We have a travel company - www.greenolivetours.com - a volunteer program - volunteers.greenolivecollective.com - and an online Fair Trade shop - www.madeinpeace.com -. I've also become something of a digital nomad, running the organisation via laptop and mobile phone (we have no office), which cycling a few thousand miles a year in various corners of the planet. I have a house on the beach in Jaffa, and another home on Unst, the most northern Shetland Island. I also spend a couple of months a year in California where my son and grandson lives.
I've been trying to track down Louis Mackenzie who was at the school the same time I was. I saw him in Edinburgh a few years ago but lost touch again.
"My main memories are of getting into mischief. Midnight raids on the girls house in Rumbling Bridge, smuggling cigarettes at the beginning of term, and building 'secret' underground smoking dens in the woods. I was one of the boys who succumbed to criminal activity also. I remember I broke into a farm caravan with another boy (who shall remain nameless unless he owns up) and was hauled into juvenile court. I was always running away. I'm still not quite sure why since my home life was certainly not an improvement on Lendrick.
The nineties were spent partially in the USA and partially in Israel where I was becoming involved in the political issues. During the past five years I have been living in Israel with my wife and two children and been deeply involved full time with Palestinian/Israeli issues. For more details just put my name into Google and you'll come up with over 2,000 links."

Compared to liposuction, a tummy tuck or other surgical procedures to remove unwanted fat, CoolSculpting ranks high in affordability. CoolSculpting is a noninvasive solution with long-term results. You won't have to miss work or lose income to recover, as it is painless and requires no downtime. However, CoolSculpting is a cosmetic service, so it is typically not covered by your insurance. At Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, we do our best to give you the most accurate cost estimate for your fat freezing treatment plan while finding options within your budget.
The cost of CoolSculpting can vary based on a number of factors, including the number of areas you want to be addressed as well as the actual volume of fat in those areas. It also depends on your overall goals for treatment. While some patients attain their ideal results after 1-2 treatments, others require additional CoolSculpting sessions to meet their goals.
Just like all of our medical and cosmetic dermatology services, we use a personalized approach with each patient. When it comes to CoolSculpting, we carefully design a treatment plan that considers your individual goals as well as your body's needs. We always do our best to give you the results you desire in as few sessions as possible. In addition, Dr. Kayal can recommend a variety of options to choose from, ensuring you address your unwanted fat as effectively and efficiently as possible. Our office offers a full menu of cosmetic services, as well as a med spa to help you feel confident and energized in your appearance.
If you are interested in choosing CoolSculpting, we'd love to tell you more about the procedure as well as give you an estimated price on your treatment. Regardless of your specific price tag on CoolSculpting, you can trust that it will be an investment towards your overall appearance and quality of life. Don't let your budget stand in the way of a slimmer and more confident you! Contact Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists today.


Gretchen Obrist | Consumer Protection Litigation | Keller Rohrback L.L.P.
Gretchen Obrist provides her clients with a clear voice in complex cases. Gretchen is a partner in Keller Rohrback's nationally recognized Complex Litigation Group whose work as a dedicated advocate dates back two decades to her role at a nonprofit organization focused on impact litigation.
With her work as a law clerk and as a litigator, Gretchen has significant experience with a broad range of federal cases at all stages. Her nationwide practice focuses on Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") fiduciary breach and prohibited transaction cases. Gretchen's work has helped curtail excessive and conflict-ridden fees in the multi-trillion dollar retirement savings industry and provide recourse to retirement plan participants and beneficiaries who have faced pension reductions, misrepresentations, and other unfair practices related to their retirement plan benefits. Gretchen's ERISA experience includes a successful appeal to the Eighth Circuit in Braden v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. reversing dismissal of the lead plaintiff's excessive fee case, significant contributions to cases challenging cash balance pension plan conversions by Washington Mutual and JPMorgan, and representation of the employees who lost nearly all of their ESOP savings with the collapse of Bear Stearns.
More recently, Gretchen has been instrumental in the firm's litigation against pharmacy benefit managers ("PBMs"), drug manufacturers, and other entities whose business practices have driven up the cost of prescription drugs for ERISA welfare plan participants, as well as Medicare plan and ACA/individual plan members, and the uninsured. Gretchen was appointed by the Court as Plaintiffs' Interim Lead Class Counsel in the In Re EpiPen ERISA Litigation, No. 17-cv-01884-PAM-HB (D. Minn.), a case alleging that the PBMs are fiduciaries under ERISA who breached their duties to the putative class of participants who paid inflated prices for EpiPens.
Gretchen's breadth of practice extends to consumer protection and financial fraud claims, civil rights issues, and qui tam relator representation. She has played a key role in class action and multi-district cases arising out of the collapse of the mortgage securities industry and the residential mortgage modification and foreclosure crisis, including several ERISA actions and a consumer MDL against JPMorgan Chase.
Prior to joining Keller Rohrback, Gretchen served as a law clerk to the Honorable John C. Coughenour, U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Washington. Before obtaining her law degree, she worked at a public defender's office, the Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition, and the Nebraska Appleseed Center for Law in the Public Interest—where she recently was profiled for Nebraska Appleseed's 20th Anniversary celebration as an innovator in the organization's earliest days.
Gretchen is a Plaintiff Co-Chair of the ABA Employee Benefits Committee's Fiduciary Responsibility Subcommittee and a Chapter Editor for Employee Benefits Law (Jeffrey Lewis et al. eds., 3d ed. BNA 2012; Ivelisse Berio LeBeau, 4th ed. BNA 2017). She frequently speaks at conferences and CLEs, is quoted in pension-related publications, and has published a number of articles related to her practice areas.

What is the primary function of your Kitchen Island? Do you want additional area for food prep? Do you need it to double as an eating space? Do you want it for extra storage space? Deciding how you need your island to function will help narrow down the choices you need to make.
The first thing to decide is the size. The island must be large enough to accommodate the cooking appliances in a central location if that the reason for your island. Storage opportunities increase when you add a kitchen Island. You can have all closed storage, a mix of display and storage, or you can decide to add a few appliances or plumbing needs to your island. Drawers are a popular and functional choice for a kitchen island. Make sure you plan on electrical supply and plumbing supply if you plan on a dishwasher, or a sink /faucet in your kitchen island.
The best thing that might have happened for kitchens is the introduction of a kitchen island seating! Why not? This enabled the cook to actually interact with their guests as they do their cooking. It also enabled small homes, apartments or pads to have seating where they can't fit a full dining room table. Depending on the amount of space you have and your entertaining style will dictate your seating for your island. If your kitchen island is large, then the seating for it can utilize full size chairs. Smaller kitchen islands may be only able to accommodate two seats.
The island can serve multiple functions. Many families use it as a place for children to do homework as well as food preparation. It is also used as a place to serve food to large or small groups. Once you know what your plan is you can start setting out the special features you need to include in your island.
Whatever the design of the kitchen in your home remodel, the kitchen island is a functional hub and gathering place to share with family and friends.

Summer 2007 Pictures | IARC 2007 Pictures | Video | Competition Paper
The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Unmanned Aerial Vehicle team (SDSM&T UAV) has devised a two vehicle system capable of completing the mission in the allotted time of 15 minutes. The two vehicle concept is a result of extensive analysis of the team�s previous five vehicle concept. Advances in controller capabilities now allow two vehicles to accomplish the mission more efficiently while providing a more elegant, simple, and adaptable solution to the problem.
The system uses a helicopter to fly the three kilometer flight path and then search the structures for a symbol. The helicopter is capable of traveling the three kilometers in under seven minutes. The secondary vehicle, called the Structure Entry and Reconnaissance Vehicle (SERV), is transported to the structure by the helicopter. The SERV is deployed from the undercarriage of the helicopter after the target opening has been identified. It is designed to enter the building through the opening and search the interior of the building for a target. Video is sent to and recorded by the main vehicle�s onboard computer and simultaneously streamed back to the base station in compressed form. This communication system is illustrated in Figure 1. The SERV will continue to search the building until its onboard power has been depleted. The helicopter will return to a designated GPS waypoint after the SERV has been deployed.
Competition team: (back row left to right) Mark Sauder, Jason Howe, Dr. Dolan, Chris Bultsma, Tony Adams, Jake Oursland, Andrew Brady, Dr. Batchelder,(front row left to right) DJ Kjar and Justin Williamson, Brian Jensen, John Heiberger, Raunaq Bhushan, Andrew Pavek, Curtis Wynia.

'How I started the ADD-ADHD Cyprus parent support group'
Susan J Chrysostomou
No matter what life you lead, or what type of person you are, there will most probably come a time when you need the support of a person, group or a larger organisation offering information, education and advocacy. My journey to running such an organisation began in London, England, where I was born and grew up. I met and married a charming young Cypriot and, before long, the sunshine beckoned us to his homeland. For more than 30 years, we faced whatever life threw at us: difficulties with language, religion, culture and even a multitude of medical problems. Through these bittersweet experiences we always counted our blessings, drew strength from each other and raised two adopted children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Andria was born in 1987 with ADHD inattentive-type and Aaron was born in 1992 with ADHD combined-type.

Denver had his first hit in 1969, performing Peter, Paul and Mary's Leaving on a Jet Plane, and would soon become a household name. His fourth album, Take Me Home Country Roads, was released in 1971. In 1974, Back Home Again became the best-selling album in the world to date. John Denver soared through the seventies with an incredible string of five Gold and eight Platinum recordings. Denver had a great gift for crossing all musical genres – from country to folk, from the 60s era to 'Americana'.

by Ana Da Silva
September 28, 2020, 8:54 pm Updated: September 29, 2020, 3:57 pm
Five students and a lecturer are self-isolating at home after a classmate tested positive for Covid-19.
University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) has confirmed the student attended the class in person last week at Inverness College UHI, 1 Inverness Campus.
As a result, five students and one lecturer have been asked to self-isolate as part of the NHS Test and Trace process.
The confirmed case is not connected to the student residences at Inverness Campus.
A statement by UHI Inverness College said: "The student, who is well, is self-isolating at home.
"Following discussions with the local Health Protection Team, we have asked staff and students in the affected area to go home today to allow a deep clean of affected areas. They will be able to return to campus once this has been done.
"We have also been in touch with students who may have been in contact with the Covid-19 case last week, for their information.
"At Inverness College UHI, the majority of students are studying remotely in semester one. A small number of our further education students and apprentices are coming onto campus for face to face delivery, where this is important.
"We've been working closely with the Highlands and Islands Students' Association (HISA) in Inverness to ensure a safe learning environment for those students and staff coming onto campus. Further information is available here: www.inverness.uhi.ac.uk/coronavirus
"We continue to ask all our students and staff to remain vigilant and to follow the Scottish Government guidance.
"Dedicated student support staff continue to work with students to provide help and advice."

Best of luck to Ms. Yue! The threats of nuclear terrorism and nuclear war may have been pushed into the news background by the COVID-19 pandemic and by our intense political polarization, but they are as serious as ever. We need BOTAS to inform policy makers of the dangers and to suggest wise remedies.

To demonstrate how cultural assets may turn into capital in the economic sense, through a systematic skill development approach for professionalizing traditional art, we undertook an action research with the Mithila painters of Madhubani in Bihar from between 2011 & 2012 with the support of the Planning Commission of India (now named the Niti Ayog).
The research covered 300 people across 3 Panchayats, involved with the age old tradition of Madhubani painting of the Mithila region of Bihar of which, 90% were women.
Based on the identified challenges during the baseline like low awareness of the art form, lack of innovation and diversity etc., the action components were planned. The artists were forst graded based on skill levels to identify local master trainers followed by four months long basic trainings by local exponents on drawing, colour combination, history of Mithila painting etc. for improving the skill base. The exchanges facilitated with contemporary visual artists, new media and design specialists helped improve creativity. Special trainings were organized to make the artists aware of the contemporary social issues and possible use of their art to communicate socially. They were also trained on soft skills like interpersonal communication, leadership skills, business skills.
During the action research, the artists organized their first three days annual village festival. It generated lot of interest amongst the locals who visited in huge numbers and also attracted the participation of the media, local administration and elected representatives.
The action research not only helped evolve a standard methodology of training. It also resulted in a pool of skilled artists and improved skill, knowledge, creativity and innovation and market access. During the concluding participatory evaluation the artists shared feeling hopeful about the possibility of a career as a professional artist.
