The Redlake China Clay Railway
The Redlake China Clay Railway. Had one inclined plane and was opened in 1911 to transport workers, supplies and coal from Bittaford to the china clay works at Redlake. The clay was then piped down to Bittaford on the main line. The company closed in 1932. Parts of the track can be followed. The turntable can be seen above the incline. Also known as the 'Puffing Billy' track.

The Redlake Mineral Railway was completed in 1911 for carrying men, coal for the steam-pumping engines, iron and general supplies from Bittaford to the works – not for clay. Seven and half miles long, and of a three foot gauge, the railway terminated on the southern slopes of Western Beacon, where connection with the clay-drying plant down at Cantrell, close to the Great Western Railway, was made by cable incline.
The railway took a general northwards direction from Bittaford to Redlake, but wound around according to the contours of the hills. First going around the western slopes of Western Beacon and Weatherdon Hill it took a slight eastwards turn, to continue north again east of Piles Hill and between Sharp Tor and Three Barrows. Passing Leftlake, the line wound over Quickbeam Hill, across Brown Heath, and eventually reached the clay works. Steam locomotives were used on the line, the three passenger vehicles, each capable of carrying thirty people, resembled mobile hen-houses in appearance. There were no ordinary brakes, but a centre buffer and coupling.
About a hundred men were employed in the industry, many of whom used to stay out at the works for weeks on end during the summer, and even in the winter when the weather was not too severe. They used to supplement their food supply by trapping rabbits, the remains of which warren can still be seen at several places alongside the course of the old railway.
By 1932 the enterprise came to an end and the railway was dismantled, the engines were blown up and sold for scrap and other equipment sold by public auction.

The track was surveyed by R. H. Worth. Taking an easy contour round the hills the mean gradient over the whole length measured on Ordnance Survey 6 inch maps, was between 1:45 and 1:50. The track was ballasted to a width of about 3 metres, some of the granite coming from the clitter on the western slope of Three Barrows.
A steam locomotive was used on a single track, 3 feet gauge, of iron rails on wooden sleepers, some of the timber for which came from a wood near Corringdon in South Brent parish. After the business failed in 1932, the rails were torn up, and only the ballasted track and a few rotted sleepers remain. In recent years it has become a popular track for walking, for the children of Ivybridge. (Source date estimated 1977)

The tramway opened on 11/9/1911 and was of three foot gauge and 7.5 miles long. Above the incline, locomotives were used taking workmen and coal up to the works and men and sand down. Apart from one break, traffic was steady until the company failed in 1932.
Wade, E. A, 1982, The Redlake Tramway and China Clay Works (Monograph). SDV166649.
The Redlake China Clay Railway. Built in 1911 to transport workers, supplies and coal from Cantrell in the south to Red Lake in the north, a distance of some 7.5 miles. The line of the track follows an easy gradient round the west slope of Western Beacon into Harford parish, across Ugborough Moor to the west slopes of Three Barrows and to Left Lake, across Quickbeam Hill and finally curving around between Brown Heath and Western Whitebarrows to the marshy and relatively flat ground at Red Lake.
Average gradient 1 in 48. The track was cut and ballasted to a width of approximately 4.27 metres with stones for the ballast taken from the clitter of small rocks on the west slope of Three Barrows. A crushing mill built in concrete stood beside the track here, and some of the debris can still be seen.
The railway was single track, with iron rails bolted to sleepers, some of the latter still being in situ in the Harford section of the track near Western Beacon.
At Cantrell there was a reservoir for supplying water to the locomotive: the site can still be seen, and also that of a turntable for the locomotive. An engine shed built in brick and iron stands in ruins in enclosed land at Cantrell.
In the 1920's the railway was used to serve the clay works at Left Lake revived at that time, and here the track was widened for a short length. It still crosses the stream at Left Lake by a brick single arch bridge. The railway did not carry the china clay which was piped down to Bittaford on the main line. The corporation ceased operations in 1932, and unsaleable equipment went for scrap. (Unattributed source author but thought to be Wade).

The first step in buying a new home should be to take an honest look at what you can afford, and how you are going to pay for it, which involves meeting with a qualified mortgage representative. We can help you find a mortgage representative that you feel comfortable with. If you're like the majority of home buyers, you will have to finance your purchase with a mortgage loan. Your mortgage professional can help you look through the cost of home ownership and settle on a plan that suits your needs. Your mortgage professional will also discuss any resources that may be of benefit to you as a first-time home buyer, for example, the federal government's Home Buyers' Plan. Under this plan, you may use up to $25,000 of your RRSP towards the purchase of a home. The money is tax-free, so long as it is paid back within 15 years.
Port Alberni remains the most affordable place on Vancouver Island to purchase property; making it a sound place to invest as a first-time home buyer. With the low cost of living, you can buy a house in the Alberni Valley with as little as $2800* down (with the standard 5% down payment)! As well as a low cost of living, our Alberni Valley communities offer diverse recreational, work, and lifestyle opportunities. You'll also love our famously temperate, mild weather! From stunning estates overlooking the serene vista of Sproat Lake, to farm land on Cherry Creek Road, and traditional homes in welcoming cul-de-sacs like Westporte and Uplands, there's a home here to suit every lifestyle and budget.

Well, it's that time of the year where folks start sharing their "best of" lists. I'll likely post a couple myself but I thought this would be a good one for all of us to participate in.
What was the best book you've read this year?
What's the one book you want to read in 2010?
I've also been devouring bits and pieces of Frederick Douglass' writing. One of these days, I'll share the letter he wrote to his former "master." It's stunning.
I'm still trying to knock out that book/month goal but on the top of my list is to read Half the Sky by Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. It helps that the ODW staff and interns are reading it together right now.
Previous what are we exactly standing up for when we stand for christmas?
Best book of 2009: Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness and Reconciliation by Miroslav Volf.
And squeezing in one more…because it's really just a booklet, but packs a punch! Raymond Fung's The Isaiah Vision: An Ecumenical Strategy for Congregational Evangelism. Definitely my favorite non-fiction of this past year…if not the last 5 years.
i really need to read more fiction. it's been way too long.
This sounds like a fascinating partnership of writers and looking forward to getting a copy of it!
My coworker loaned me The Book Thief, and I've yet to start it, so I guess that's my 2010 book. Best book this year? Probably Blink by Malcom Gladwell.
"Contours of Pauline Theology" by Tom Holland – Absolutely amazing. Blows apart the theory of Hellenism influencing Pauline Christianity and examines Paul's theology from a purely Jewish perspective. It's groundbreaking.
"Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality" by Jack Rogers – A bit more controversial than the other one 🙂 But incredibly interesting. It's one of the more succinct, yet thorough, explanations of Christocentric hermeneutic and its use concerning homosexuality as found in examples in the Bible. Incredibly a worthwhile read.
Sula by Toni Morrison. So brilliant.
I've started my "best of 2009" post…hope to get it up today. Best book I've read this year?
The Christ of the Indian Road, by E Stanley Jones — which you, Eugene, should appreciate since you prefer books by dead guys!
What do I want read in 2010? Hmm…where to begin?
2009: The Lexus & the Olive Tree – Thomas Friedman: What a fantastic exposition of globalization and of our incredibly fast-changing world.
2010: Dead Aid – Dambisa Moyo: A look into what we have done wrong in terms of our governmental aid to Africa…and a blueprint for a smarter way forward.
Thanks, Eugene, for your work & ministry. I am excited about ODW!
I've started Half the Sky, too. Haven't gotten very far yet, but hope to make more headway in Jan.
For this year our c-group has been reading Truly the Community by Marva Dawn. Great book!
I didn't really read as much this year as I would have liked. Looking back, I think I needed a bit of a break because the previous couple years I was cramming about as much as I possibly could into my head.
Two good books that I read though were Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola, and Teaching as a Subversive Activity by Neil Postman. Both very interesting and mind opening, as they challenge current paradigms.
This next year I think I'll start with Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne, and God & Empire by Crossan.
I know a lot of people did not like it, but it gave me a lot to think about and cleared a lot of things up for me.
How great is Prodigal God. It rocked my world.
'09–A Failure of Nerve by Edwin Friedman.
I usually am not too keen on leadership books but this was truly fascinating, especially on a sociological level.
'10–I'm really looking forward to finally reading The Politics of Jesus by John Howard Yoder.
Failure of Nerve was fantastic. It really challenged a lot of my ideas of effective leadership – and I find myself continually coming back to his thoughts on " empathy".
Yoder is awesome. Almost convinced me to go pacifist.
Last year the most significant book was "The Holy Fire: The Teachings of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira: the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto." The manuscript was found in the rubble many years after the war ended. I have 3 books coming for Christmas from my wish list: "Time on Two Crosses" by Bayard Rustin. (a key figure in the civil rights movement, early gay rights advocate, communist, poet, adviser to Dr. King). "The Dialectics of Reason" a dialog between Jurgen habermas and Pope Benedict XVI, and "How To Do Things With Tears," a book of poems by Allen Grossman. I'm thinking of putting "Half The Sky" on the list given all the recomendations above. Have a blessed Holyday all.
Banana: the Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World.
After reading this, you will know a lot about bananas and its crazy history.
– "In 6 steps, what would Jesus do?" (available only in Portuguese) by Paulo Brabo, ISBN: 978-85-62877-01-8. My rating: 1000 stars.
– "Understanding Postmodernity" (available only in Portuguese) by Mary Rute Gomes Esperandio. My rating: 1000 stars.
– "Adventures in Missing the Point", by McLaren & Campolo.
– The church, the country and the world: challanges of an engaged faith, by Robinson Cavalcanti, ISBN 85-86539-14-7.
– The classics of Liberation Theology: Boff, Enrique Dussell, Juan Luiz Segundo and Miguez Bonino.
my favorite book this year was "the trouble with black boys… and other reflections on race, equity, and the future of public education" by pedro noguera.
and i also really liked "the curious incident of the dog in the night time" by mark haddon.it's not cool for lit snobs to confess enjoying pop literature, but i really liked this one. it's one of the funniest novels i've ever read, and i read it while on my honeymoon, so it brings back happy memories.
next up, i have nocturnes by kazuo ishiguro. i loved his previous novels, and this is his first foray into short stories.
Forced into a decision, I'm inclined to go with the collected stories of McLeod, because they "moved" me most and I can't take one of those theological books over the others.
For 2010 I'd like to read Malcolm Gladwell's new book of essays, and finish Catherine Keller's theology of creation that I've been plugging away at.
I really enjoyed "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. In-depth look at how Lincoln navigated the political waters to save the nation.
I'm going to read "Stones Into Schools," Greg Mortenson's latest, in 2010 for sure.
Favorites – Harry Potter series. I read for a living (teaching college writing) so the pure pleasure value puts them at the top.
In January (when I'm off) I plan to read Origin of Species (Darwin) because I've never read it and I think Christians should read it before forming an opinion about it.
Best book of '09 was fiction, "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry. Indian book, fantastic… I mean really. Read it.
Looking forward to in '10 – I hope to read "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.
My theology reading has been almost fully in "The Mission of God" by Christopher Wright, which is good but a lot more in depth than I expected and I have slugged through the exegesis of it. Whew.
To read: ??? Not sure yet… there are so many!
I think it might have come out in '08, but Wright's "Surprised by Hope" was an important read. "The Monkey and the Fish" by Dave Gibbons was formational to my ideas of leadership in the church. But the book that had the greatest affect on me is Joseph Barndt's "Dismantling Racism". It's been in print for quite some time now, but I just read it this year!
can't say i look forward to any books…they usually find me!
Don't you just love it when books find you!
Well, 2009 isn't over yet, so I can only say that *so far* the most impactful read of the year was Soong-Chan Rah's The Next Evangelicalism….
First on the list for 2010 is Scot McKnight's "A Community Called Atonement." I've got some wrestling to do with that doctrine.
For some reason, for me this was the year of the memoir. I love reading first-person accounts of life, especially ones in which people change and grow… in one direction or another. It's the process that fascinates me.
Fiction… I loved Kent Haruf's PLAINSONG & EVENTIDE.
I can't remember what I read this year vs. last year.
I just finished reading Half the Sky. Its a must read for everyone. We must be informed and choose to be Jesus to women struggling against oppression.
Amazing the influence of N.T. Wright. Not that long after his passing in the future, he may be known as the formative writer post C.S. Lewis.
By the end of this year, I should hit 40 books. Here are a few of my favorites.
1. N.T. Wright's Surprised By Hope.
Definitely an eye opener. Sometimes it's good to know clear instructions about leading a Christian life and this book is great for new Christians.
I love the grace that the book offers. I feel like it's a prayer of forgiveness from the Lord.
I started reading the first chapter already. It's quite challenging. It certainly makes you think about how you are living out your Christian life.
Man am I grateful for all those wonderful books that bring me closer to knowing God.
I could cheat like some of you have and list multiple books but i'll restrain myself. Just finishing up A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken – beautiful book – a must read if you ask me. CS Lewis' letters to Vanauken hold so much wisdom.
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry is my favorite read of 2009.
As for 2010, too many to count! But, for the immediate future: Sky Burial by Xin Ran.
I can't believe I forgot Soon-Chan's The Next Evangelicalism. Really helpful and eye-opening.
Exclusion and Embrace and The Next Evangelicalism were 2 of my favorite reads from this year that were already mentioned.
Another one on my list of 2009 faves: When Helping Hurts by Brian Fikkert. A must-read for those interested in global and local poverty alleviation.
Favorite of 2009 was Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder (possibly because I just finished it and it's still fresh in my mind but it was a really amazing book!).
Top of the list for 2010 is a reread of the Poisonwood Bible–one of my all-time faves that I haven't reread in several years, time to enjoy it again.
My wife just gave me "God In Search of Man" by Abraham Joshua Heschel for Christmas, so that jumped to the top of my list for next year.
Deep Economy by Bill McKibben rocked my world. Looking forward to The Emergent Gospel: Theology from the Underside of History.
I always end up enjoying good fiction more than non-fiction … wonder what that says about me???
OH! I'm answering your questions out of order. I have Half the Sky on order from Amazon right now, I'm reading it and Modern Slavery: the Secret Lives of 27 million people for school, independent research for my Senior Essay which will compare Human trafficing in Seattle and Stockholm.
Anyway, best books of 2009, both by Rob Bell: SexGod and Velvet Elvis. Loved them both.

Ashrita Guiness World Record Beater
Ashrita Furman has the unique claim to hold the Guinness World Record for breaking the most Guinness World Records. At the latest count Ashrita has broken 108 official Guiness Records and currently holds over 32 records. Ashrita has also set many of his records in diverse locations such as CNN Tower Canada, Stonehenge, The Great Pyramids. Recently he set a record for the fastest mile whilst hula hoping at Eyres Rock Australia.
In doing so he succeeded in setting a world record in each of the 7 continents. Ashrita's record breaking achievements have both inspired and entertained many people awed by his unusual records! Although as People magazine stated."Hardly a man is now alive, who would want to do what Ashrita Furman . the Carl Lewis of oddball athletics . has just done." - People Magazine.
When asked why he does so many extraordinary activities Ashrita replies."I'm trying to show others that our human capacity is unlimited if we can truly believe in ourselves,".For the past 30 years Ashrita has been practising meditation under the guidance of Sri Chinmoy, who is also a noted for his athletic achievements. Through breaking records Ashrita has been able to show that the ancient Eastern art of meditation is not just about sitting in a cave attaining peace but also can bring to the fore our hidden capacities.
Ashrita says that before each record he likes to meditate briefly. He says:."I feel it is meditation that gives me the capacity to accomplish these feats. Sometimes my mind is wavering or my body is tired or even injured in some small way, and these things deter or distract you. Meditation helps to keep you focused and 'in the heart'?by that I mean that the mind becomes calm and sure of it's purpose?".As well as demonstrating the capacity for self-transcendence, Ashrita also likes to do unusual, wacky records that make people laugh.
Some of his more unusual records include: the longest distance for balancing a milk bottle on his head (80.9 miles); the fastest mile for pushing an orange with your nose (24 mins 36sec); largest diameter hula hoop (16feet) and fastest mile on a space hopper. However although many of these records give great amusement, Ashrita points out that all Guinness world records require a great deal of concentration and determination; he says it is never easy to break a Guinness world record.
At the age of 47 there seems to be no sign that Ashrita is heading for early retirement if anything is rate of breaking records seems to be increasing. During the last 3 months Ashrita broke 5 world records whilst on a vacation with Sri Chinmoy in Malaysia. The latest record involved the fastest mile crawling (under 30 mins).
When asked whether crawling was a good form of exercise. Ashrita quipped."Well, it's an excellent form of exercise?for every part of the body?but I don't think it will catch on!".Ashrita is a member of the New York Sri Chinmoy Centre and in between breaking world records manages a health food store in Queens, New York.
.Richard is an economics teacher in Oxford and is a member of the Sri Chinmoy Centre Richard also competes in various cycle races throughout the UK and is a keen gardener.

Eleanor again
John Ashdown-Hill's Eleanor, the Secret Queen was first published in 2009, detailing Lady Eleanor Talbot's family and early life, the circumstances in which she married Edward IV, her similarities to his mistress Elizabeth Woodville (they were dark haired, older and widows of Lancastrian-inclined men), canon law and how it affected Edward's relationships and children together with the Clarence attainder, Stillington's translation to Bath and Wells in 1461, his imprisonment and Titulus Regius 1484. Then it described the attempted cover-up of Titulus Regius (before a copy emerged through Buck), Catesby's execution, More's attempt to write another lady into the story, Chapuys' knowledge of the case and the emergence of remains that may be Lady Eleanor in Norwich, judged by her age, status and the dental evidence. It proved the marriage almost completely to the satisfaction of most open minds.
Seven years later, it has been reissued in paperback with even more evidence. We can now know, with confidence, exactly where and when Edward married Lady Eleanor. Our attention is additionally drawn to the circumstances of her death and the arrest of two of her sister's servants a few weeks later, such that there are reports of their executions, whilst the discovery of Richard III's skeleton leads to further deductions about the dental evidence in Norwich. The case for the 1461 marriage is now proven, even if her corpse cannot yet be conclusively identified.

The suicide tsunami in Iran
Home/Iran/The suicide tsunami in Iran

By Jubin Katiraie
A closer look at Iran's state-run media can reveal the dimensions of the rise in the phenomenon of suicides in Iran, a country which suffers from organized corruption led by the government.
The latest statistics shows, 100 thousand suicides were recorded in the past year in the country:
Maryam Abbasinejad, responsible for the Suicide Prevention Program at the Iranian Ministry of Health said, about 100,000 suicides have been registered in the country in the past year, according to the official IRNA news agency. The suicide rate is higher in the west of the country. The rate of suicide from 2015 to 2018 increased from 94.09% to 125.24%. She added that this number is increasing by 5% yearly.
Certainly, the severe economic downturn, high unemployment rate, deep social class inequality, poverty, misery, the existence of all kinds of social damage, the absence of social and individual freedoms, the lack of happiness in society or the prospect for a bright future in Iran are major factors for the rise of a 'suicide tsunami' in Iran.
Parallel to this is the systematic pressures on the people, the overburden of cost, and tax pressures on small businesses which are making the puzzle more complicated.
According to the National Forensics Organization, the number of suicide deaths was 4627 with 5% of growth compared to the year before. This report continues that from this number 3262 were men and 1365 were women.
Iran's suicide crisis exists more in vulnerable affected provinces. Provinces such as Ilam, Kohkiloyeh, and Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchistan or Lorestan, which have the highest rates of unemployment and downturn, are now competing with each other in this subject. Referring to the high rate of suicide in this poor and vulnerable provinces, the report adds: "The number of suspected suicide deaths in terms of population (per 100,000 population) in the last year shows that Ilam province with 13.8%, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad with 13.7% and Kermanshah with 11.9 % have the highest suicide rate in terms of population.
The state-run agency Khabar Online wrote on November 3, 2017, that suicide cases have increased 66% for women and 71% over the past two years. It added that the total number of deaths (men and women) in 2011 was 2462 deaths, and grew to 3234 in 2015. Suicide in Iranian society has increased, yet statistics on suicide have not been properly provided to the media for years, and institutions in the field generally do not provide the media with statistics. Youth are among the groups most at risk of suicide. The statistics also show an increase in suicide rates among Iranian women over the past decade.
Decreasing suicide age to 12 and first ranking in self-immolation by Iranian women in the Middle East:
According to the Forensic Medicine Organization of Iran, suicides in the age group of 18 to 24 years have the highest rate with 28.2% of suspected deaths in 2015. If we add the statistics for the age group of 25 to 29 years with 17.6% and the age group under 18 with 8%, that makes a 54% rate. That means, that more than half of the suicides in 2013 are made up of youth under the age of 30.
Because of the spread of poverty, especially unemployment, in addition to the lack of individual freedoms and the prohibition of leisure and happiness, youth are the main victims of this disaster.
Self-immolation in Iran are among the highest in the world, with up to 71% of committed suicides conducted via self-immolation in some regions. Demographic information revealed that 27% of suicide cases in Iran were via self-immolation. Of those, 71% were female. The average age was 29 years.
According to the state-run media Mashregh news (11 September 2017): Suicide statistics in Iran show that one person dies every two hours and eighteen minutes.

I always have to have a large industrial sized jar of peanut butter in my fridge. It is a staple, used for everything from on toast, to creating delicious desserts, to snacking on celery with. One of my favorite applications for peanut butter however, is in a dressing, especially one with thai flavors! It is great on a tossed salad with veggies, but I especially love it when paired with noodles! When I used to be a pescatarian, I made one with shrimp and veggies, and it was always something that I loved so much I licked the plate clean. I hadn't made it since becoming a vegetarian, but decided to this week with sauteed chicken style seitan in place of the shrimp. I was going over to my boyfriend Scott's house for dinner and wanted something that could be made a day ahead of time and taste delicious, since I didn't want to cook after work. It was a risk, as he is not a vegetarian and seitan is something that was new to him. But I had confidence that it would be good, afterall, how could anyone resist a silky peanut butter sauce on noodles! I added lots of crunchy local veggies, radishes, snap peas and carrots, with cilantro and scallions. I wanted to add red pepper, but local and organic ones weren't available and I wasn't about to buy an expensive pepper shipped half way around the world that wasn't even organic. I didn't miss the pepper, and there was plenty of veg as was. I laced the dressing with lots of ginger and spicy pepper, and it had a nice kick, spicy enough to warm you up, but not so much that you burn your face off. The salad was satisfying and just as I had remembered it...I even liked the seitan better than the shrimp! Best yet, I got Scott to try seitan. He may not be a vegetarian, but that's alright, at least he eats my food, and in his own words the thai peanut noodles were yummy! Try it for yourself if you are a peanut butter lover like me!
In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat peanut oil and add seitan, ginger and garlic, and saute until ginger and garlic are fragrant and cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Add tamari and cook a minute more. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine seitan, noodles and veggies. In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients until smooth, then pour over veggies in the larger bowl. Toss to coat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve!
This looks delicious! I wish I could make something like that in my kitchen. When I am craving Thai food, I go to the experts at the restaurants.
I'm with you there on the industrial sized peanut butter jar. the bigger the better. Love it in dressings, yes. Lovely noodles, perfect for summer. I like the mix of veg and herbs you've added. Perfect.
Very well presented - this dish looks as elegant as it does delicious!
This looks great - I love the idea of the peanut sauce and all the fresh veggies!

Q: Formula/VBA - Application defined or object defined error I'm trying to create a vba code to write a formula in determined cell on my sheet, but it doesn't work. What's wrong ? 'Cause, i really don't see what am i doing wrong in this code.
Range("BC" & ActiveCell.Row).Formula = "=IF($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & "=" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ";IF(ROW($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & ")<MAX(IF($BB:$BB=" & """" & "OK" & """" & ";$A:$A));IF(TODAY()-$AY" & ActiveCell.Row & ">=3;" & """" & "DROP" & """" & ";" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ");" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ");" & """" & """" & ")"

A: Your computer's use of a ; as the regional list separator is fouling you up. VBA is very EN-US-centric so the Range.Formula  and Range.FormulaR1C1 expect a comma (,) as the function's argument list separator.
Range("BC" & ActiveCell.Row).Formula = "=IF($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & "=" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ", IF(ROW($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & ")<MAX(IF($BB:$BB=" & """" & "OK" & """" & ", $A:$A)), IF(TODAY()-$AY" & ActiveCell.Row & ">=3, " & """" & "DROP" & """" & ", " & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & "), " & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & "), " & """" & """" & ")"

Alternately, Range.FormulaLocal property or Range.FormulaR1C1Local property can be used with your own semi-colon as the list separator.
Range("BC" & ActiveCell.Row).FormulaLocal = "=IF($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & "=" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ";IF(ROW($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & ")<MAX(IF($BB:$BB=" & """" & "OK" & """" & ";$A:$A));IF(TODAY()-$AY" & ActiveCell.Row & ">=3;" & """" & "DROP" & """" & ";" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ");" & """" & "REVIEW" & """" & ");" & """" & """" & ")"

Your doubling up double quotes within a quoted string is a bit verbose and xlR1C1 notation would save some steps. TEXT(,) is the same as "" in a formula; each produces the same zero-length string.
Range("BC" & ActiveCell.Row).Formula = "=IF($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & "=""REVIEW"", IF(ROW($BB" & ActiveCell.Row & ")<MAX(IF($BB:$BB=""OK"", $A:$A)), IF(TODAY()-$AY" & ActiveCell.Row & ">=3, ""DROP"", ""REVIEW""), ""REVIEW""), TEXT(,))"
'.FormulaR1C1
Range("BC" & ActiveCell.Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC54=""REVIEW"", IF(ROW(R:R)<MAX(IF(C54:C54=""OK"", C1:C1)), IF(TODAY()-RC51>=3, ""DROP"", ""REVIEW""), ""REVIEW""), TEXT(,))"

The xlA1 and xlR1C1 formula rewrites above each produce the following when ActiveCell is on the second row.
=IF($BB2="REVIEW", IF(ROW($BB2)<MAX(IF($BB:$BB="OK", $A:$A)), IF(TODAY()-$AY2>=3, "DROP", "REVIEW"), "REVIEW"), TEXT(,))

As I mentioned in comments above, that formula would seem to be an array formula. In that case, use the .Formula comma based rewrite but change the Range.Formula property to Range.FormulaArray.

Flooded school left under inches of water after torrential rain
St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School in Barry was left flooded after torrential rain and is unsure whether it will be able to open in time for the new term

Flooding has left a school so badly damaged and dirty the headteacher fears it may not be able to open as planned next week.
St Richard Gwyn Catholic High in Barry was left under several inches of water in floods on December 23 with staff coming in over Christmas to help clear up. The school had planned to re-open for face to face teaching on Wednesday January 6, but headteacher David Blackwell said that may not be possible now given the extent of flood damage.
Classrooms, corridors and the sports hall were left under several inches of water after torrential rain flooded areas across the Vale and Cardiff last week.

Snow causes disruption across parts of UK after days of stormy conditions
Speaking from the school on Monday as he assessed damage before speaking to the school's insurance company, Mr Blackwell said: "We hoped to start some face to face from Wednesday next week but this looks less likely now. Thankfully, due to the amazing work of staff who just turned up on site as quickly as they could without any request from me, we haven't lost as much as we could. But there is obviously some loss which I will assess this morning.
"The barn and gym had a big impact and there is a lot of damage to equipment there. The biggest problem is the smell and the dirt left behind especially in the reception area and front corridors of the school.
"A deep clean will take time to get organised once it has dried out, we're currently struggling to get dehumidifier machines to do this. It's just not the end to the year that we needed after all the Covid issues. We are in desperate need of a new school, the building is not able to cope as it should and this has been emphasised even more by Covid.
"Sadly we are last on the list of secondary schools in the Vale and are still looking at another five years plus before this happens."

Reopening England schools in January will mean 'trade-offs' with other Covid restrictions
He praised staff for going over and above helping to clear up the damage.
"Although this has been an added challenge we could have done without, the support had been overwhelming. It just demonstrates yet again the amazing community we have at St Richard Gwyn," he said.
"We had numerous staff and governors arriving in the middle of the storm to help save anything they could in the school. The caretaker even returned to the school a number of times on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day to evaluate the situation and adjust the heating and ventilation."
Parents, pupils and staff have also been in touch offering to help clean up the mess, he added.
"The buildings may not be what they should be but, the attitude and ethos of everyone involved with the school is simply unbeatable."
