10 Haunted Areas Of The Whitehouse!
– November 26, 2013Posted in: Ghosts, Investigations, Paranormal
Top 10 haunted Areas of the Whitehouse:
Few buildings are as iconic as the White House, the residence and office of the President of the United States. Indeed, the White House has been the site of many historical events and has played host to a great deal of important historical figures. What few people may realize, though, is that the White House is perhaps one of the most haunted places in the United States. Numerous public officials and staff members have recounted stories of bizarre occurrences or eerie sightings. President Harry Truman once wrote to his wife that '[t]he damned place is haunted sure as shootin'.' This list details the specific areas that supposedly see the greatest amount of ghostly activity at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Eire-Attic-RoomWilliam Henry Harrison holds the dubious distinction of being the shortest-serving president and the first to die in office, succumbing to pneumonia a mere month after his inauguration. However, subsequent residents have believed that Harrison's ghost still haunts the White House attic, rummaging around for something unknown. Several presidents have reportedly heard the unexplained noises coming from the attic above the Oval Office. Others report that Harrison is not alone. A Truman-era security guard once reported hearing 'I am David Burns' coming from the attic above the Oval Office. In 1790, David Burns was the man forced to surrender his land so that the White House could be built.
White-House-Rose-GardenThe Rose Garden is one of the commonly used sites for presidential announcements. It is also the site of a particularly creepy haunting. The garden was originally planted by First Lady Dolley Madison in the early 1800s. A century later, when First Lady Ellen Wilson requested that the garden be dug up, garden workers reported that Madison's ghost appeared and prevented them from destroying her garden. Since that time, other White House insiders have reported an occasional and inexplicable smell of roses in the White House. These instances are often credited to Madison's ghost.
White House Basement Recontruction 1950White House lore tells of something particularly dire lurking in the basement. Unlike other areas of the White House that are inhabited by spirits of figures from American history, the basement is said to be the home of a 'demon cat.' Those who have reportedly seen the cat claim that it first appears as a small kitten, but as you get closer it becomes a larger and larger phantom beast. According to the legend, many years will pass with no one encountering the demon cat, but, when it does appear, it serves as a warning of a great national disaster. The demon cat was supposedly sighted shortly before the great stock market crash of the 1920s and right before President Kennedy's assassination.
The Second Floor Halls
Central Hall In 2001The second floor of the White House is the residence for the First Family, so many of the stories that emerge about this area come from presidents and their families. One of the most frequently reported White House ghosts is President Abraham Lincoln, and the second floor hallways are some of his favorite haunts. Lincoln has been seen or heard by many residents, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. President Truman once claimed to have heard Lincoln pacing the hallway and knocking on his bedroom door. It's not just Lincoln in the halls – President William Howard Taft became the first person to report seeing the ghost of First Lady Abigail Adams, who he saw floating through doors on the second floor.
The Second Floor Bedrooms
Master-Bedroom-1917Various bedrooms on the second floor are used for the president's family and other guests. One husband and wife pair reported that the ghost of a British soldier tried to set fire to their bed. It is presumed that this soldier was the man who set fire to the White House during the War of 1812. In addition, President Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Lynda once reported seeing the ghost of Lincoln's son Willie, who had died in the very room in which she was staying. Other reported activity includes the ghostly screams of President Grover Cleveland's wife, the first woman to give birth in the White House. Following renovations in 1952, activity in the bedrooms has decreased significantly.
The Yellow Oval Room
Yellow-Oval-Room-C1985During Lincoln's administration, this room was his personal library and one of his favorite rooms in the White House. Numerous White House employees have reportedly seen Lincoln gazing out the windows of this room. First Lady Grace Coolidge also claimed to have seen him here. In addition to Lincoln, the disembodied voice of David Burns (from #10 on this list) has been heard from this room. First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln also reported seeing the ghosts of both Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Tyler here.
The North Portico
North-Portico-Door-2002The White House entrance has a number of notable ghost fixtures. A torch-wielding British soldier (likely the same from #6 on this list) is often seen standing outside the front door. People have also reported seeing long-deceased White House ushers and doormen still tending to their duties. Perhaps most bizarre is the ghost of Anne Surratt, whose mother Mary was hanged in 1865 for her role in the Lincoln assassination. Anne's ghost has been spotted pounding on the White House doors begging for her mother's release. She is also reported to sit on the front steps every July 7, the anniversary of her mother's execution.
The East Room
White-House-East-RoomThe East Room is the favorite haunt of Abigail Adams' ghost. During her tenure in the White House, this was the room in which she would hang her laundry. She is often seen in or en route to the East Room with her arms outstretched, as though carrying a laundry basket. Sightings were particularly abundant during the Taft Administration, but as recently as 2002 a group of tourists reportedly saw Adams. In addition to her sightings, many people report the faint smell of laundry soap around this area. Lincoln has also been spotted here, the room in which his body lay in state.
The Rose Room
58-531-044The Rose Bedroom is frequented by its former occupant, President Andrew Jackson. Numerous White House employees have seen or heard Jackson in the room, often engaged in hearty laughter or swearing violently. According to White House lore, there is an inexplicable cold spot on the canopy bed in the room where Jackson slept. Among the most notable reports, Mary Todd Lincoln claimed to have heard Jackson swearing and White House seamstress Lilian Parks felt his presence over her, which she recounted in her memoirs about her time in the White House. Not to be outdone, Lincoln has also been spotted here. When Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands stayed in this bedroom, she answered a knock on the door one night and saw Lincoln's ghost standing in the hallway.
The Lincoln Bedroom
Lincoln-Bedroom-2007-SeGiven Lincoln's frequent appearance at various places on this list, it is no wonder than his bedroom comes in at #1. Winston Churchill famously refused to sleep in the bedroom ever again after seeing the ghost beside the fireplace. (Churchill, it should be noted, had just emerged from a bath and was completely nude during the encounter.) Beyond those already listed as seeing Lincoln in other places, he has been spotted by: Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Dwight Eisenhower; First Ladies Jacquie Kennedy and Ladybird Johnson; and presidential children Susan Ford and Maureen Reagan. Maureen and her husband both saw Lincoln standing beside the fireplace, just as Churchill has seen him. Other guests have reported that lights in the bedroom will turn themselves on and inexplicable cold spots will occur in the room.

Dominican tourism megaproject boasts a major airport
Santo Domingo.- When the Pedernales development project has completed its fourth phase, it's estimated that the international airport that is planned to be built in that border province will receive 963,155 international passengers, a number higher than the non-resident travelers who arrived in 2019 to Cibao International Airport, which was 707,019.
The images with the design of the terminal, printed in a 377-page book that contains the Tourism Development Plan for Cabo Rojo, Pedernales, are avant-garde.
They are far from the poverty that many families have today in that province, considered among the three poorest in the Dominican Republic.
The shape of the designed airport is inspired by the sea turtles that nest on the coast of Pedernales, and its other spaces also include the fauna and flora of the Cabo Rojo area, where the arid forest prevails.
The idea of an international airport in Pedernales was also promoted in the past administration of Danilo Medina, who also announced a tourism development project that was never executed
Paul Tierney
The southwestern sector of the country is in great need of a major airport for tourism, business, and military support applications
THIS IS GONNA BE HUGE!!
Wow another project and yet the Dominican people will still be making $300 a month and living in poverty.

Australian journalist shot in the neck covering Philippines conflict
The ABC South East Asia correspondent was covering the Philippine military's recovery operation of parts of the besieged city from IS militants when the incident happened.
In recent days Harvey had been reporting of the military's use of fighter jets and helicopters to repel militants from the city.
Thanks everyone – I'm okay. Bullet is still in my neck, but it missed everything important. pic.twitter苏州美甲培训学校按摩论坛,/PBYfdrTTa6
— Adam Harvey (@adharves) June 15, 2017
In videos posted on social media, Harvey can be seen receiving medical treatment with a neck brace and a protective helmet.
"I'm fine, I'm just going to get an X-ray to get it checked out," he says.
"I just felt like something (inaudible) in the side of the neck, a piece of shrapnel."
Harvey later shared a picture of his X-ray showing the bullet lodged in his neck.
Lucky. pic.twitter苏州美甲培训学校按摩论坛,/2ZPYZfidO9
His sister and fellow journalist Claire Harvey said he was doing ok.
"We thought it was shrapnel but it was a bullet that got him in the neck," she told 2gb radio.
"There's some suggestion it's still in his neck."
CNN quoted Philippine presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella reminding journalists covering the conflict to "remain objective".
"I think they should try to be objective as possible. And to see it in the context that this is really a… That this is basically an action of rebellion," he said.
"And that they see it along that line, they report along these lines, that they are objective. Stay out of trouble."
Jobless rate hits four-year low of 5.5%
A surprise surge in full-time employment has driven Australia's jobless rate to a four year low and could spark some decent growth in long-stagnant wages, economists say.
The jobless rate fell to 5.5 per cent in May, beating economists' expectations of an unchanged 5.7 per cent, as full-time jobs jumped by 52,100 and part-time jobs fell by 10,100.
CommSec chief economist Craig James said May's job creation follows almost 100,000 jobs added across March and April in a positive employment trend that would drive the economy forward.
"This is a result to be celebrated by consumers and businesses alike," Mr James said in a research note.
St George senior economist Janu Chan said job ad numbers and recent business surveys pointed to healthy future jobs growth but expressed concern about the sustainability of the trend in the face of lacklustre consumer spending.
"The recent strength in the labour market is unlikely to persist over the medium term, particularly if soft conditions in consumer spending continue," she said.
Recent official data has shown retail spending rose in April but that followed two months of flat or falling figures.
The labour participation rate, which refers to the number of people either employed or actively looking for work, rose by just 0.1 per cent in May to 64.9 per cent.
Meanwhile, the quarterly seasonally adjusted underemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage points to 8.8 per cent.
HSBC economists Paul Bloxham and Daniel Smith said the jobs figures pointed to a tightening labour market, which may signal an end to prolonged weak wages growth.
"As the labour market tightens further we expect it to start to put some upward pressure on wages growth in coming quarters," they said.
Mr James said the surprise jobs figures meant the central bank would not be in a hurry to lift interest rates.
"But rate cuts can now be taken off the table," he said.
Royal Bank of Canada fixed income and currency strategist Michael Turner said the RBA would now have a more comfortable view of the labour market – and its holding stance on rates – after three months of employment growth.
"This in turn will likely put a neutral stance on a more confident footing, particularly given that there are few signs of a noticeably slower housing market yet," he said.
The Australian dollar was boosted by the news, hitting a two-month high of 76.30 US cents soon after the figures were released before falling back to 76.07 US cents at 1625 AEST.
Qld reassures unit residents after UK fire
The Queensland government says proposed new building laws will crack down on potentially flammable building cladding, which is being blamed for London's devastating tower block fire.
Housing Minister Mick de Brenni said the proposed laws, introduced last month, will give the state's building regulator the power to stop unsafe products being sold and force existing buildings to remove dangerous cladding.
"The new laws will give the Queensland Building and Construction Commission power to investigate concerns around building products on both active building sites and existing buildings," Mr de Brenni said.
"We want to make sure the regulator has the teeth to protect Queenslanders."
There have been two incidents in recent years on the Gold Coast where substandard cladding was identified and replaced, as well as a third incident in Brisbane where a residential building was inspected and found to be compliant.
The minister stopped short of calling for a full review of cladding used in Queensland, saying the strengthened laws would be sufficient.
At least 12 people have been confirmed dead and many more are missing after a huge fire destroyed Grenfell Tower in London's north Kensington.
There are reports cladding added to the building in a recent refurbishment may have helped spread the flames quickly.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Deputy Commissioner Mark Roche said the state's firefighters are trained for high-rise fires.
"Recently in Brisbane we've just conducted four very large-scale exercises on high rise buildings, and we are doing that right across the state," Deputy commissioner Roche told reporters on Thursday.
"We'll be looking at what lessons are to be learnt (from the London fire), we have a very high regime of maintenance and inspection, and we've got the highest quality of people actually conducting it."
Newcomers to sit 'up front' English test
Migrants wanting to become Australians will have to sit a stand-alone English language test before being allowed to apply for citizenship.
Under a raft of new measures introduced to parliament on Thursday applicants will need to prove a competent level of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
It will be up to the immigration minister to determine what level of proficiency is needed.
People aged over 60 and children under 16 will be exempt, as will those with hearing, speech or sight impairments, or permanent or enduring physical or mental incapacity.
"English language was essential to economic participation and social cohesion," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton told parliament.
"There is also strong public support to ensure aspiring citizens are fully able to participate in Australian life by speaking English, our national language."
The legislation makes several changes to citizenship requirements, as flagged by the Turnbull government in April.
The period of permanent residency will be changed from one year to four, while a new values test, and stronger character checks, will be introduced.
Other proposals include:
* Potential citizens must demonstrate their integration into the community, including by "behaving in a manner consistent with Australian values";
* All applicants would need to be of good character to be eligible for Australian citizenship; and
* The 'pledge of commitment' would be renamed the 'pledge of allegiance'.
Malcolm Turnbull said it was clear what had transpired in other countries where migration was not controlled.
"We have seen literally, in Europe, existential threats to nation states, to their political stability, to their harmony," the prime minister told parliament.
"We have seen uncontrolled and irregular migration flows threaten the very existence of nations in the world today."
But Greens immigration spokesman Nick McKim said the proposed changes radically redefined citizenship and would destabilise thousands of families.
"Australians want other people to succeed, not to fail. They want to help people join our community, not slam the door in their face," he said.
Lawyers are deeply concerned about expanded powers for the immigration minister to overrule independent citizenship decisions made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
"The AAT exists to provide an important check and balance on ministerial power. This will be substantially watered down through this legislation," Australian Law Council president Fiona McLeod said.
Labor accused the federal government of "stretching" in its claims that the citizenship changes were needed for national security.
It will settle its final position at a caucus meeting on Tuesday.
Opposition citizenship spokesman Tony Burke wants people living permanently in Australia to be fully committed to the country, but warned about putting barriers in the way, such as with changes to language requirements.
"Is the impact of this legislation going to be that we end up with a permanent group of residents in Australia who will live here their entire lives, who will work here their entire lives and will always be told you don't quite belong?" Mr Burke told ABC radio.
"I'm not sure how that's good for us as a society."
Carly's Law passes parliament
Ten years after her daughter was murdered, Sonya Ryan watched on as new laws to protect children from a similar fate cleared federal parliament.
All she could think about was Carly, who was killed in Adelaide in 2007 when, at the age of 15, she met up with a 50-year-old paedophile posing as a teenage boy.
"It's absolutely overwhelming for me to think that she didn't go through all that suffering for nothing," Ms Ryan later told reporters in Canberra.
"That the suffering she endured for hours and hours – I don't even know how long – that there's something good has come out of something so horrendous and cruel."
Senators paid tribute to Ms Ryan as Carly's Law cleared the upper house on Thursday afternoon, thanking her for her work to protect children from cyber predators.
The legislation will make it easier for police to intervene before predators have the chance to act and for online predators to be prosecuted and face 10 years in prison.
It targets predators who prepare or plan to groom children online, including those who lie about their age.
"I think about what Carly would say and I just can't imagine what she'd say to me today, that there's a law in her name to protect children from harm," Ms Ryan said.
"(This law) is a real step in protecting our innocent, vulnerable, beautiful kids that are just trying to connect in an online space.
"They should be able to do so without having to worry about being taken advantage of or hurt or worse by a criminal trying to infiltrate their lives."
South Australian senator Skye Kakoschke-Moore, who pushed for the laws alongside colleague Nick Xenophon, said its success was a testament to Ms Ryan's strength.
"What has happened today boils down to the fact Sonya Ryan – who endured more pain, more loss and more suffering than any mother or parent should have to endure – has campaigned for Carly's Law," she said.
"Thank you Sonya, on behalf of all Australian familes, on behalf of all Australian children."
Senator Xenophon pondered what might have been if the laws were in place sooner.
"If Carly's Law was in place 11 years ago I wonder how many children would have been saved including Carly," he said.
"Because the predator that murdered Carly was communicating with something like 200 children around the world."

Have you seen the other one of my____________???
And then there is the mystery of the plastic lid and container drawer. Its just a sea of plastic with NOTHING fitting ANYTHING! How does that happen?!?!?!
Its like a creeper comes in my house when I'm sleeping and takes JUST ONE of everything that comes in pairs. Socks, earrings, lids, containers, shoes, you get the picture.
I would be happy if for just ONCE this *%#* would take THE PAIR so as to not remind me of what I'm missing. If I'm missing a pair of earrings, I'm sad for a while.. but if I'm left with just one, I'm constantly reminded of its missing mate and will be forever looking for it to NO AVAIL!
Is it a corporate conspiracy??? If it comes in pairs, will ONE of them dissolve in some way, forcing me to buy more. Hmmm.. seems plausible..

Recently I went to see a film celebrating the work and life of dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch. One of the male dancers in her company spoke about how no matter what he was trying to be or do, Bausch always saw past the charade—right to the heart of his identity, right to helping him see and find himself.
. . . " (Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 1).
There may be no greater gift that we can give than to really "see" one another, to look with love, interest, generosity, tenderness, and appreciation. To be the kind of individual Isaiah speaks of: "a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land" (Isaiah 32:2, New International Version).
Isn't this what church should feel like? Church should make us feel that we're sheltered in a sanctuary of love, so that we know that any baggage or dust we've brought in will be gently lifted and washed away.
I can't say that I've always felt this way about going to church. Sometimes it hasn't felt like a safe place at all. Individual struggles, disagreements, disappointments, and misunderstandings have seemed to heighten and intensify in the very spaces I have most sought solace.
Eddy speaks of the "ever-agitated but healthful waters of truth" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 254). Church experience—a collective search and commitment to life, rooted in spiritual progress and healing—is a laboratory ripe for spiritual growth and transformation. Because of this, we may mistake the "ever-agitated" stirrings, rumblings, and upheavals among church members as signs of distress, rather than evidence of something sweet, sound, and pure being uncovered and revealed.
Church should make us feel that we're sheltered in a sanctuary of love, so that we know that any baggage or dust we've brought in will be gently lifted and washed away.
Within each one of us lies a great, generous, magnificent expression of God that's just waiting to be discovered. This is the stuff of church: buried treasure in our midst that is awakened at the slightest touch of love. It is activated with the gentlest of glances. We feel it when we seek it. It springs forth at even a hint of good intention from another. The desire to nurture and be nurtured uncovers great stores of strength, gratitude, forbearance, and forgiveness.
Today, the Holy Spirit moves amongst us: It is the very presence that prompts us to love, to seek love, to live honestly and generously. That's how love works. That's why Church, the temple of the Holy Ghost within each one of us—the indefatigable, indivisible "superstructure of Truth; the shrine of Love" (Science and Health, p. 595)—is right now supporting, sheltering, and drenching all of us everywhere in unquenchable love and light. It knows no borders, no boundaries, no bounds. It is universal, impartial, undeniable.
No disappointments, disillusionment, human foibles or horrors can shroud, delay, or destroy the evidence and presence of God. In the darkest and most broken of places, the Christ prompts us to discover that the spirituality we're really made of doesn't break. Holiness, integrity, grace—the very things we had perhaps overlooked or dismissed—actually thrive when all else fails.
True community—true Church—begins with a gentle surrender, the simplest of gestures, the glimpses that we have of uncomplicated innocence. It is cultivated with the willingness to seek and nurture spiritual qualities in ourselves and others, to listen past the noise and surface appearances, in order to look with keen eye and tender heart to see the children of God's creating.

Focus on Walkability 'Can Make LGs a Population Drawcard'
Australians overwhelmingly want to live locally in walkable neighbourhoods close to parks, a new Heart Foundation study has revealed.
The survey also found that a sense of safety is high on the priority list for Australians when deciding where to live.
The foundation surveyed 2895 Australians on "what matters most to them in making neighborhoods desirable, liveable and healthy", with findings presented in its What Australia Wants: Living locally in walkable neighborhoods report.
Heart Foundation Director, Active Living, Trevor Shilton said: "The ability to 'live locally' is enabled by having a neighborhood where the things that you need such as fresh, healthy food, safe neighborhoods streets, and daily destinations are near to your home, ideally in walking distance".
He said the survey found that:
9/10 Australians feel that having access to fresh food within a convenient distance from home is very/somewhat important to them when deciding where to live;
Nearly 9/10 people feel that having a sense of safety is very/somewhat important to them when deciding where to live;
Just over 8/10 value having natural elements such as trees and plants;
Around 7/10 Australians value traffic-calming measures;
Around 7/10 also value a sense of community;
8/10 people surveyed feel that having quality public open space close to them is very/somewhat important to them when deciding where to live;
Nearly 8/10 people surveyed said it's very/somewhat important to them that they can be active in their local area.

Yinnar Solar Footpath Outdoor Street Lighting
3 March 2022 27 January 2021 by Design
"Community-led projects like this really demonstrate the benefits of transitioning to renewable energy, not only for the community but also in building a sustainable energy future for us all" – Hon. Lily D'Ambrosio.
For more than ten years, the community had identified lighting the 1km path from the town's center to their recreation reserve as a high priority project.
Safety concerns about people walking home next to a dark country road, particularly in the winter months, had always been a significant concern. However, the outdoor street lighting solution would also allow the community to expand the use of their facilities.
Reticulated lighting was just too expensive and needed to be installed entirely with various cables, whereas smart street lights offered a cheaper, more flexible, and more environmentally friendly solution in which poles could be installed individually as funding became available.
The community association raised an impressive $20,000 for the outdoor street lighting and was supported by the Latrobe City Council who contributed a further $20,000. The Latrobe Valley Authority granted a Community and Facility Fund worth $120,000 to complete the project in a single install.
"The new lighting benefits our members greatly! Occasionally training finishes late so parents take great comfort in the fact that there is plenty of light for junior members to safely travel home by."
– Mark Maynard, Executive Member, Raiders Cricket Club.
"The LVA is pleased to work with our project partners and the Yinnar community to improve safety and accessibility between the township and the recreation reserve."
-Karen Cain, CEO, Latrobe Valley Authority.
"It has been rewarding working with this community to overcome technical barriers and to realize a project that will benefit the local area for many years to come."
-Chris Barfoot, Project Manager, Latrobe Valley Community Power Hub.

Calls to Improve Lighting on Local Roads to Save Lives

Lighting is a huge part of road safety, not only for cars and lighting black spots but also for visibility and the safety of pedestrians. With respect to pedestrians and roads in particular, according to Monash University research commissioned by walking health charityVictoria Walks, street lighting was identified as a potential issue that may help to reduce the risk of collisions at night time, with 11 percent of crashes that occur while it is dark take place in locations with no street lighting.
Lighting has been shown to be one of the most immediately impactful ways to boost both the actual and perceived safety levels of public spaces and roads. However, traditional electric lighting systems tend to present significant cost and logistical barriers due to roads and footpaths needing to be dug up for the required underground trenching and cabling. Within this context, SMART solar road lighting is the perfect solution for lighting dark spots on intersections, roundabouts, and pedestrian and cycling paths.
Research suggests there is a 35 percent reduction in road crashes when street lighting is implemented or improved.
Not only is smart solar road lighting a significantly more cost-effective solution due to there being no underground trenching and cabling required, but it also offers faster project turnaround times compared to grid-powered lights and flexibility as to where lights can be positioned. There are also clear environmental and social benefits – some might even say obligations – for governments to choose sustainable lighting sources moving forward.
Increasingly across Australia, local councils are overcoming the difficulty and cost of lighting dangerous intersections or long stretches of road by installing solar street lighting in situ of traditional grid-powered lighting. Successful road safety projects have already been completed in cities and towns across Queensland, Northern Territory, Victoria, and New South Wales – with many in response to community pressure to help fix known problem areas.
Lit by the clean energy of the sun, Leadsun's smart solar lighting is designed for local roads and is a sustainable solution ideal for increasing safety on poorly lit roads and intersections. These lights allow local councils, in particular, to be SMART city ready and meet growing community expectations that public space solutions minimize environmental impact. They also offer councils the freedom to connect and scale lighting solutions quickly, easily, and cost-efficiently.
As smart public lighting specialists working with local government and corporate partners since 2005, Leadsun is a leader in providing efficient, smart public lighting solutions that enhance the safety of communities across Australia and the world.
Leadsun is bringing SMART road lighting into all Australian municipalities – easily, affordably, and efficiently. If you are looking for a dependable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solar lighting solution to enhance your community's public spaces, get in touch with us today.

Street lighting assets around the world are being transformed with smart technologies to deliver increased safety, efficiency, productivity, and services. Leadsun's FREEDOM urban solar lights are an integral part of this transformation.
Until now, our cities have relied on 19th-century grid-powered lighting systems. These have inflexible positioning and are costly to install due to extensive trenching and cabling, plus unpredictable, ongoing energy costs.
Leadusn's Managing Director Matt Pollard recently had a chat with Ticker News about the environmental benefits that these street lights provide and how they are making a positive impact on the environments they illuminate.
This next-generation street lighting platform is supplied SMART CITY READY with remote monitoring and endless possibilities to connect IoT devices such as air quality sensors, pedestrian and vehicle counters, cameras, duress-button, Wi-Fi access points, and more.
These stylish, future-proofed lighting solutions are perfect for lighting streets, footpaths, parks, recreational areas, green space, car parks, and public venues.
In 2018, Leadsun formed a landmark partnership with a leading USA property developer who has successfully installed over 1,000 wireless controlled and monitored FREEDOM solar streetlights throughout two Master Planned Communities in Florida, with many more to be installed in the coming years.

Solar Tree City of Melbourne
Solar Tree City of Melborune
A Big Idea!
Leadsun was invited to partner with the City of Melbourne's Industrial Design Team to create a modern, innovative, and sustainable outdoor sculpture by converging Leadsun's proprietary 'All-In-One' Solar + Battery + LED technologies into a spectacular tree-like sculpture that also demonstrates that we can power and light out cities with solar energy.
The Solar Tree is a big idea by Leadsun to help demonstrate the City of Melbourne's ambitious target to become carbon neutral.
The tree provides the community with a place to rest, recharge their mobile devices whilst promoting a positive social impact ensuring our public spaces are Smarter, Sustainable, and Safer by harnessing the sun's energy in a practical and functional way.
Did you know that although cities only cover 2% of the earth's landmass, they use nearly 80% of the earth's primary energy sources? Further to this, the biggest contributor to a municipality's source of carbon emissions is from grid-connected public lighting infrastructure.
While our cities transition to renewable energy to replace existing fossil fuel electricity, the Solar Tree demonstrates the importance that collectively we must take simple steps to reduce our energy usage, not just in our homes and businesses but also in open public areas that require public lighting.
Honouring Indigenous Natural Heritage
The Solar Tree isn't just about technology, it's also about sustainability and honouring the traditional and distinct nature of our municipality's natural heritage by using reclaimed indigenous timber for the circular wooden seat located at its trunk.
The indigenous timber is selected by the local government and then hand-crafted and treated to look vibrant and elegant. It's an important design element of the Solar Tree as it brings together both 'nature & technology' and the 'past & the future' all into one unique functional system.
Convenient Meeting Hub
The Solar Tree is a great landmark and a place to meet. With the timber seat able to accommodate three people, the Solar Tree has a convenient three-way built-in USB charger at its trunk inviting users and visitors to sit under the solar panels and charge their smart devices 24 hours a day for free!
The Solar Tree utilises Leadsun's innovative and proprietary 'All-In-One' solar-powered energy systems. The entire system features a combination of three 80W 'Solar-Engines' that collects and captures energy from the sun into the built-in Lithium-Ion batteries to then power the LED lights & USB chargers.
The energy produced from the Solar Engines is then distributed through its branches into ultra-efficient LED lighting fixtures featuring motion-sensor and dimming capabilities. The Solar Tree provides a beacon of light throughout the evening for safety, whilst demonstrating new-energy technologies through its USB charging station located at its base.
The Solar Tree provides the perfect opportunity for municipalities to uniquely demonstrate their ambition for social & environmental leadership to the public as well as showcasing new-energy technologies in public spaces & pop-up parks powered by the limitless energy of the sun.
Experience the power for yourself and charge your phone in safety under the lights of the Solar Tree located in the beautiful grounds of Birrarung Marr. The lights illuminate the granite sand and provide a warm inviting glow for the community to use the Solar Tree in the evening.

Solar Lights a Pathway Through Lockdown
3 March 2022 3 August 2020 by lead sun
Thanks to the Covid-19 many of us find ourselves in lockdown with little reprieve other than a morning potter or an evening stroll. In Goulburn, thanks to what is being called Australia's largest solar path light installation, locals can now more easily walk and cycle their way to the salutary effects of a daily jaunt.
With the threat of lockdown once again in effect or on the cards for large parts of the nation, many of us are once again facing the prospect of having very little to look forward to each day other than a solitary stroll or a potter-about with a partner.
In fact, the Heart Foundation estimates that 30% of people are walking more than usual thanks to the impacts of the pandemic. That's why the Goulburn Mulwaree Council (Council) in New South Wales (NSW) has installed what is said to be Australia's largest solar pathway lighting project.
After all, at this time of year, when the sun seems to show up more out of habit than wanting to put a good long shift in, the need for lighting along our walkabout pathways is at its most luminous. That's why Council nudged Melbourne-based company Leadsun to install 160 of its AE3C solar lights along 10km of the Wollondilly River Walking Track in Goulburn.
Leadsun, which holds a patent on what it calls the first "all-in-one LED solar path light", began the project a year ago, and Managing Director Matt Pollard said that sporting clubs, walking groups, and residents were increasingly lobbying local governments to apply for grants to install Smart solar lighting to improve access and safety.
Council utilized the majority of a $500,000 Federal Sport and Recreation grant for the solar lighting of the riverine track. Although it must be said, one for one, solar public lighting is cheaper than your normal street lighting, partly because it doesn't require much trenching or electrical wiring, but also because the energy is free from the sun and can be stored in lithium-ion batteries for up to three days.
Wollondilly River Walking Track powering up for a busy night.
At just over 160 solar lights, Pollard believes its the largest solar pathway lighting project in Australia. Even fossil fuel enthusiasts like Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor, who would probably prefer Australia's bush pathways lit by the incendiary fire of gaslamps, had to admit that the walkway in Goulburn was now safer and more accessible. "I'm thrilled that the installation of solar lighting will extend the hours of use of the walkway," said Taylor.
"There is an increasing awareness that we can all do our bit to reduce carbon emissions across a broad range of smaller-scale projects and in our individual lives," continued Taylor with a distinct lack of ironical self-awareness. "Along with many Goulburn residents, I enjoy running this track early in the morning or later in the afternoon. the lights will be a great addition to the course, particularly in winter."
Another such Goulburn resident is Daniel Strickland, a member of Mission Australia's Man Walk group and a regular trotter of the track, who said the path is far busier than before, especially at those times before the dawn and after the dusk, when previously "we would come along with our iPhones and our torches." Unfortunately, Strickland failed to mention having ever seen Energy Minister Taylor running the track with gaslamp outstretched before him like Sherlock Holmes on one of his deductive exercises along the Thames.
Nevertheless, the clear success and savings of the project mean that Council is now planning a further 1.5km extension to the Smart lighting project. Leadsun, lead on.

Julian Thilo created an excellent website on how to run Jekyll on Windows. I choose to install everything using Chocolatey and that requires some extra configuration. Every command was executed using an elevated command prompt.
After everything has been installed you might have noticed the installation of ruby2.devkit logged a warning message. It failed to find the Ruby installation folder which means we have to add it manually to the devkit's config.yml file.
On my machine - and at the time of writing - Ruby has been installed in C:\ruby213. Open the config.yml file in the C:\DevKit2 folder and add the path to the Ruby install folder. Don't forget the - sign.
After the development kit has been initialized and installed, add the C:\DevKit2\mingw\bin to your system's PATH.
I don't know the reason behind this, but it seems that Jekyll is looking for a binary called python2. Navigate to the Python installation folder and create a symbolic link.

Les Journées franco-géorgiennes de Leuville-sur-Orge ont été créées par la Commission culturelle communale le , à laquelle appartenaient Claude Parmentier , Luc et  .

Histoire

La commune de Leuville-sur-Orge accueille en 1922 certains membres du Parlement et du Gouvernement de la République démocratique de Géorgie, après l'invasion du Caucase par l'Armée rouge. La population leuvilloise et les réfugiés politiques géorgiens cohabitent durant plusieurs décennies : des liens se créent. 80 ans après, des représentants du Sénat, du département de l'Essonne, du canton d'Arpajon, de la commune de Leuville-sur-Orge et de la population locale souhaitent faire revivre une histoire réveillée par la visite récente du président Edouard Chevardnadze, et qui sera poursuivie par celles des présidents Mikheil Saakachvili et Guiorgui Margvelachvili.

2003 à 2005
Sous la coprésidence de Claire-Louis Campion , Monique Goguelat , Daniel Esprin , de Gotcha Tchogovadzé et de Natia Djaparidzé , trois journées franco-géorgiennes annuelles sont organisées par la commission culturelle, avec l'aide de deux Leuvillois d'origine géorgienne : le département de l'Essonne décide en 2005 d'apporter son soutien.

Claude de Kémoularia , le général Jean-Pierre Faure , Guia Sardjveladze et Thamaz Naskhidachvili  y participent.

Les programmes successifs comportent :
 des conférences géopolitiques et sociologiques données par le professeur Jean Radvanyi, le maître de conférences  Thorniké Gordadzé  et l'écrivain Vassil Karist,
 des stands d'exposition tenus par la compagnie aérienne Georgian Airways, la librairie Itinéraires et l'agence de voyage Promethea Voyages,
 des expositions photographiques sur la Géorgie,
 des concerts de polyphonie géorgienne donnés par des chœurs venus de Tbilissi comme l'ensemble Simi, des chœurs français comme l'ensemble Madrikali ou l'ensemble Mze Shina, la chanteuse Nathela.

De 200 à 300 personnes assistent à chacune de ces journées, produites salle municipale Florence Leblond avec les moyens techniques de la commune.

2006 et après
À partir de 2006 les journées franco-géorgiennes sont organisées par des associations communautaires géorgiennes (Foyer géorgien de Leuville, Société civile immobilière du Château, Institut Noé Jordania, Centre culturel géorgien Lazi, …), sous la coprésidence des représentants de l'Ambassade de la République de Géorgie en France (Mamuka Kudava, Ecatériné Siradzé-Delaunay, Gocha Javakhishvili) et de la Municipalité de Leuville-sur-Orge (Eric Braive).

Les programmes successifs maintiennent les concerts de polyphonie géorgienne et innovent avec l'organisation d'ateliers de préparation de plats géorgiens dans les cuisines du domaine géorgien, celle d'entretiens historiques avec le professeur émérite Charles Urjewicz et avec des personnes contant leurs souvenirs d'enfance dans le domaine géorgien, ou celle de concerts de jazz Nouvelle-Orléans produits par des artistes d'origine géorgienne (Irakli Davrichewy).

Gove Radar Map
Darwin Airport
Warruwi
Gove Windfinding and Weather Watch Radar
Location: Gove Airport
Typical Availability: 2130-0815; 1030-1415; 1530-2115
The Gove radar has a nearly unrestricted view in all directions. Local topography can produce a single weak false echo immediately adjacent the radar centre to the southeast. During the wet season, thunderstorm tops will be visible out to the effective range of the radar at around 250km although smaller showers frequently associated with these storms will not be visible at that range. Tropical cyclones may be seen during the wet season months November to April, although lesser category 1 cyclones may not be sufficiently developed to be easily discernable. The higher category tropical cyclones will display rain echoes in spiral bands rotating about a central clear eye with the highest intensity rainfall about the eye. The structure of the cyclone in the arc facing the radar centre will be seen, although the far side will be less clear due to the weakening of the radar signal by heavy rain (attenuation). The closer the cyclone is to the radar centre the clearer the structure will be viewed. Rain showers during the dry season are common; most frequently moving from east to west, often in organized lines (known as Gulf Lines) orientated approximately north-south. Cooling after midnight during the dry season frequently results in false echoes (Anomalous Propagation) appearing over the land as isolated weak areas with sometimes up to 80% coverage. These echoes are identified by their random appearance and disappearance between sequences with no general direction of movement and total dissipation after sunrise. They only appear over land and are displayed as the weakest level echoes.

WECS (90.1 FM) is a college radio station based in Windham, Connecticut, on the campus of Eastern Connecticut State University.  The station broadcasts on 90.1 MHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 430 watts at a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 116 meters.

WECS began in the 1970s as a turntable mounted in a 3x4' square of plywood which sat atop a work sink in a janitor's closet in an old dormitory.  This was not a licensed station.  It ran at approximately 10 watts and was a pirate broadcaster.  At the time, Eastern Connecticut State University  was not yet accredited as a university.   In the late 1970s, a movement was afoot to get a legitimate radio station for the communications department.  This was orchestrated by former WCBS announcer Prof. John Zatowski.

By 1982, test broadcasts had begun, and by 1984, WECS-FM was on air.  In the succeeding decades, a number of long-time DJs have come and gone: Joe Standby, Bash, Robbo Retro, Alf ("The Alternative Xperience"), Mark E. Ramone, Beechnut, James 'DJ Ras J' McGurk, Gabriel Silverman and others.  Marko, Hack, and Jeffrey Nash remain.  Despite the stations relatively minor stature, a good number of its staff have moved on to work in the media industry.

At present, WECS is a National Public Radio affiliate and John Zatowski the general manager. In July 2008, WECS moved into its new air studio.

MYANMAR: More than 5 million children could need life-saving aid to survive
Source: Save The Children
2 December – More than 5 million children in Myanmar could require life-saving humanitarian aid to survive next year, according to an analysis of UN figures released today, equivalent to one in every three children, with access for aid agencies urgently needed, Save the Children said.
New data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) projected that more than 14 million people in a population of 54 million in Myanmar could be in need in 2022, up from 1 million this year but with the latest assessment taking in areas previously not included.
Myanmar was among the top 10 countries listed as having the greatest need of humanitarian aid globally, just behind four countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is projected to have the most people in need next year at 27m.
Escalating conflict, ongoing political and economic turmoil and the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating for children in Myanmar. Access to health and education is extremely limited, and millions of children are in danger of going hungry.
Some 234,000 people – including almost 87,000 children – have been forced to flee their homes since 1st February. Many of them are living in the jungle in makeshift tents without food or medicines, and aid organisations' access to reach them is limited, Save the Children warned.
The agency is calling for greater financial support from the international community to ensure the country's worsening situation does not permanently impact an entire generation of Myanmar children for years to come. It also wants to see concrete steps to increase access for aid agencies, so that they can get life-saving help to those in need.
A Save the Children spokesperson said:
"The situation is becoming increasingly desperate. Myanmar already had huge numbers of children living in poverty, but as families struggle to survive, millions more children are being left hungry and destitute.
"There is no question of the scale of this emergency – or that it will continue to worsen without urgent action. The only question we have is how those contributing to the crisis – and those who can make a difference – will respond.
"Funding, access for aid agencies and steps to bring peace and security to children's lives in the coming weeks and months will be critical. Unless we act now, the number of children requiring life-saving assistance will continue to rise."
As an independent, impartial and neutral humanitarian organisation, Save the Children is committed to responding to the rapidly deteriorating emergency in Myanmar. Along with local partners in Myanmar, it is providing food assistance and essential items to families who need it most. It provides life-saving health and nutrition services, as well as getting children back into learning and providing crucial mental health support.
Notes to the Editor:
About 37% of the population of Myanmar are children aged under 18. Of the 14.4 million people forecasted in the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview to be in need of humanitarian aid, more than 5 million would be children (37% ).

What is the Forced or Hidden Warranty?
A Forced or Hidden Warranty is when a car dealer either tells you the warranty is required to finance the vehicle or hides the price of the warranty in the loan payments.
This common scam has been around for years. Many shoppers fall for this scam and we here at CarBuyingTips.com have received many complaints from car shoppers over the years about it. There are two ways that they can pull this scam on you.
In the first method, you're in the finance office at the car dealer signing the papers when the finance manager lowers the boom on you, telling you that you are required to buy a $2,500 extended warranty "because the bank requires it and won't get the loan." Let's analyze whats happening here. The lender is worried about your ability to pay back a $25,000 car loan, so to appease themselves, the lender now requires you to add another $2,500 to your car loan to qualify?
The second method is where they sneak the warranty (and possibly other add-ons) into the deal. Some dealers who have you suckered in as a monthly payment buyer, focused solely on the payment amount, will quote you monthly payments but they don't even tell you that you're buying a warranty. Buyers who don't check the math have no idea their monthly payment is padded with a warranty, credit life, rustproofing, or other extras.
We have also received complaints that the dealer tells you "the extended warranty is included" to make it sound like it's free. The warranty is included, but you're paying for it, with a "packed" monthly payment. In other words if all you really wanted to buy was just the car and no warranty, then your monthly payments should have been less.
It's frustrating for us to hear how many people did not see it on the paperwork until they got home. People will spend more time analyzing a $6.00 watermelon at the grocery store than a contract for a $25,000 new car! This scam often accompanies the Spot Delivery Scam, which is another of our Top 10 Dealer Scams.
Some finance managers will also start playing games with the APR on your car loan. If you try to decline the extended warranty, some finance managers will scare you by stating that your APR will go up if you don't buy it. That should be a violation of the Truth in Lending Act. This does not even pass the common sense test. Ask them since when does the interest rate have anything to do with whether or not you buy a warranty?
Interest rates should depend on your credit score only. Car dealers often lie to you about this because they know many new car buyers are not educated when it comes to their own credit score and financing. The situation is made worse because you are tired and in a rush. The dealer has worn you down and you just want to speed sign and get home with your new car. As a sanity check, note that when you apply for a loan with an online lender, nowhere in the application process do they ask if you are buying a warranty and nowhere in the application process do they demand that you buy one either.
First of all, knowledge is power, knowing your credit score ahead of time and having your own pre-approved financing can stop this scam in its tracks. Take the bull by the horns on this one and confront them directly. Let the finance manager know right off the bat you are aware this is a scam. Have the dealer commit it in writing that the warranty "is required to be approved for your loan." Tell them you want to show it to your State Attorney and the Better Business Bureau for confirmation. Watch how quick they back off.
Learn how to avoid this rip off by reading our section on New Car Financing. A reputable lender, such as LightStream, would never require the purchase of an extended warranty (or anything else for that matter) as a condition for approval. Why would they want you to take on more debt? It doesn't make any sense!
Make sure to read our complete article on Buying an Extended Warranty before you head out to the dealership. You want to make sure you don't get bamboozled twice on the same deal by purchasing an inferior warranty at double the cost. We will explain why we recommend buying coverage from a high quality company like CARCHEX.
This scam works exceptionally well on buyers with bad credit. The dealers may "require " you to buy credit life insurance or "your APR will go up." One of our visitors here at CarBuyingTips.com sent us her Ford paperwork that had it all. Their payments were "packed" with an extended warranty, credit life and disability for $3,385! That's right, why not milk it for all it is worth. If you fall for one extra on your purchase, the dealer will see how much more they can stuff into your deal.
Remember, the best way to avoid this scam is to have your financing lined up before stepping foot in the dealership. If you do finance at the dealership and the dealer refuses to remove the extras from your deal, then you should remove yourself from that dealership immediately.

The Bromley Wizard and The Cheese Kettle
Leave a Comment / 19th Century / By Willow Winsham
What would you think if, after an argument with your mother, your dairy maid fell ill and your cheese-making attempts ended in disaster? Some might put the matter down to coincidence and bad luck, but for Thomas Charlesworth of Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, the answer was clear.
He had been bewitched.
A farmer of sixty-five acres, Charlesworth had taken over the family property on his father's death in 1848, on the understanding that his mother, Elizabeth, would remain living there as long as she wished. This comfortable arrangement was upset in December 1855, when he married his cousin, another Elizabeth Charlesworth, a match of which his mother disapproved. She moved out in the following February but continued to visit, warning on one occasion that they should not attempt to make cheese or else it would "tumble to pieces." The Charlesworths, however, did not heed her words, and several attempts at cheese making ended in disaster. Not only that, but the farmer, his wife, and the dairymaid fell ill from an unknown cause.
Listening to his woes, and agreeing with his assessment that bewitchment was the cause, a neighbour told Charlesworth to seek out James Tunnicliffe, a local man known as the Bromley Wizard who "could do anything" and was well-known for his expertise in sorting such matters. Accordingly, on Saturday 26th April, Charlesworth and his wife made the four mile journey to Tunnicliffe's home. After hearing their story, Tunnicliffe said he would visit their farm the next day, but that he would have to tell his wife that he was going to see about some calves, as she did not like his "going about on that business."
He came as promised, pronouncing, (without seeing the animals, much less the maid and the kettle), that the cows were bewitched, as were the horses, dairy maid, wife and cheese kettle. There was nothing to worry about though, as he, Tunnicliffe, would rectify the situation if Charlesworth would only do as he instructed. This translated into a demand for money; Tunnicliffe initially charged three shillings six pence per cow (there were twenty-seven of them), and five shillings each for the maid, the cheese kettle and Charlesworth himself. Charlesworth's wife was not as badly bewitched as the rest, and she could be made well by having a piece of fabric taken out of her dress. He was also to send to a man named Conyway in London for a spell book.
Abbots Bromley Church
Tunnicliffe took lunch with the family and then returned to his home. On Monday, with no improvement to maid or cheese, Charlesworth went again to visit Tunnicliffe. The older man agreed to come the next day and see how things were, and after drinking some ale, Charlesworth returned home. Arriving there, he found himself feeling unwell, with pains in his chest and head. Shaking and shivering he retired to bed.
When Tunnicliffe arrived the next day, he told Charlesworth to take some brandy, explaining that the reason for his sickness was that he had been engaged in battle with Old Bull of Yeaverley on Charlesworth's behalf, a man who dealt in witchcraft and had been employed by Elizabeth Charlesworth to bewitch her son. It would take more money to lift the bewitchment, three shillings six pence for the remaining animals, five shillings for the baby and another five for "good and chattels."
Impressed, and by this time convinced that his mother was the cause of all their ills, Charlesworth employed Tunnicliffe to also work as a labourer on the farm, perhaps to help the old man hide what he was doing from his disapproving wife. Both Charlesworth and his wife continued to suffer from sickness, for which Tunnicliffe gave various explanations; a man named Cotton at Longton had bewitched him (something Tunnicliffe sorted at the cost of a pound), and his mother had likewise engaged the services of Arnold from Bradley High and another man from Kingsley in her quest to torment him. On one occasion, the couple accompanied Tunnicliffe to Froghall Station, where they waited at an inn for him to return, during which time Mrs. Charlesworth experienced being shaken and scratched by forces she could not explain.
Froghall Station, Staffordshire
Despite Tunnicliffe declaring his success each time, matters did not improve. This was, the wizard insisted, due to the determination of Charlesworth's mother, who was consorting with wizards as far away as Derby in order to achieve her terrible aims. Each time a new threat was discovered, Tunnicliffe would go off to do battle with the forces of darkness, and each time, Charlesworth's purse was a little lighter for it.
On the farm, the situation worsened. Strange noises were heard throughout the house; winds blew down corridors, curious disturbances happened in the yard, the cows "lamented", the horses "pranced" and the dogs made an awful racket throughout the night. A phantom dog was witnessed running into the house, appearing to be "all on fire". The apparition ran through a closed door before vanishing, much to the consternation of all concerned. Charlesworth and his wife continued to experience strange bouts of illness and their infant daughter, Elizabeth was also taken ill, dying of unexplained convulsions.
Matters finally came to a head when the Charlesworth servants made complaints against Tunnicliffe, blaming him for the unrest in the household. With his staff threatening to leave if Tunnicliffe remained, Charlesworth had no choice but to dismiss him, his own suspicions no doubt growing by this point. Tunnicliffe departed on the 16th February, upon which the strange happenings and symptoms experienced on the farm ceased. Encouraged to pursue the matter, Charlesworth went to the authorities, and Tunnicliffe was apprehended on 25th February, charged with obtaining money under false pretences and drugging Mr Charlesworth.
Talbot Arms, Rugeley
The case was heard at the Talbot Arms, Rugeley, six miles from Abbots Bromley. The room was large and crowded, and the general atmosphere was recorded as one of amusement, with much hilarity to be had at the expense of the Charlesworth's bewitched cheese kettle and their lamentable gullibility as they gave their version of events. Several servants and neighbours of the Charlesworth's also came forward to give evidence, no doubt glad to see Tunnicliffe get his comeuppance.
The fact that the bouts of illness coincided so often with eating with or been served food by Tunnicliffe, was explained by the discovery of a parcel of "root and leaves" in Tunnicliffe's house. Bryonia dioica, as was explained by a doctor attending the trial, had "violent and irritating properties" and, in some cases, was known to cause death and miscarriage – the latter experienced not only by Charlesworth's cows, but also Mrs Charlesworth herself.
Despite the overwhelming case against Tunnicliffe, it was not an entirely straightforward journey to conviction; a "false pretence" was part of the indictment, but, for that to be proven, it must be established that there was something real or factual to pretend to in the first place. Witchcraft was, by the passing of the 1735 Witchcraft Act, now legally not a recognised reality. This didn't help the prisoner in this case, however, and Tunnicliffe was found guilty at the next assizes, and sentenced to twelve months in prison.
General opinion was divided; while some derided Tunnicliffe for his actions and agreed he deserved whatever was coming to him, others were less sympathetic towards the Charlesworths, declaring that punishing Tunnicliffe served only to encourage people in clinging to superstition and credulity. There was also the suggestion that class played a part in the outcome, with one newspaper opining that:
"If James Tunnicliffe had had the wit to set up as a medium, and give seances to the aristocracy, he would have made a good thing of it, and would not now be picking oakum in gaol."
Bryonia dioica
The incident with Tunnicliffe no doubt left Charlesworth older and, one would hope, a great deal wiser; in the 1861 census we find him living with his wife and three daughters, with one hundred and eighty-four acres to his name, plus two labourers and one boy. How his cheese-making progressed there is no record, but he died in 1876, at the age of forty-eight.
Who was James Tunnicliffe? Born around 1796, he married Maria Birch in Abbot's Bromley in 1819, and the couple had several children together. His occupation is given as agricultural labourer in census returns, and brewer in the newspaper reports of the trial, where he is referred to as a beerhouse keeper of Thorney Lane. He died in 1874 at the ripe old age of eighty-one, but not before at least one more incident of scandal blackened his name, as related in the Staffordshire Advertiser, 28thMay, 1864:
"Assault On A Child. James Tunnicliffe, of Thorney-Lane, was charged with an indecent assault upon Elizabeth Jackson, of Abbots Bromley, a girl 13 years old, on the 20th instant. The offence was proved against the old ruffian, who is 70 years of age, and figured a few years ago in the notorious witchcraft case, but as it was not of such a nature as to call for a heavy punishment, the bench convicted him summarily, and awarded him one month's imprisonment with hard labour."
Thorney Lane, Hanbury

Colin Campbell, PhD
Dr. Colin Campbell grew up on a dairy farm in the 1940's and 50's where he was taught, as most of us were, that eating a lot of meat and dairy was the perfect way of life. His father died at the age of seventy from a second heart attack.
He was the first in his family to attend college. In 1956 he obtained a bachelors degree in pre-veterinary medicine from Penn State, and later in 1962 he earned a PhD in nutrition, biochemistry, and bacteriology from Cornell University.
Health Ads by
It was the college education that led Dr. Campbell to research how to make cows and sheep grow faster to increase the production of animal protein.
Author of the most comprehensive study every undertaken.
Dr. Colin Campbell later took a position at Virginia Tech where he coordinated technical assistance for a project in the Philippines working with malnourished children. Part of the program investigated the unusually high cancer in liver rate among Filipino children.
Children of the Wealthiest Families
At this time, many health organizations believed that the poorer countries lacked enough protein in the diet for sustaining good health. This is when Dr. Campbell noticed that Filipino children of the wealthiest families that consumed the highest protein diets were the ones most likely to get cancer of the liver. The rural poorer children did not seem to have the cancer incidence of the wealthy city children.
Shortly after the children's liver cancer revelation, Dr. Campbell reviewed a study by Indian researchers that changed his direction forever!
The study was composed of two groups of rats.
The first group was fed 20% of their diet with animal protein, similar to our American diet percentage.
The second group of rats was fed a diet of 5% animal protein.
Both groups were fed an equal amount of aflatoxin, a known cancer causing toxin associated with mold found in corn and peanuts.
Every rat in the group that ate the 20% animal protein had evidence of liver cancer, and every single animal in the 5% animal protein diet avoided cancer of the liver.
This overwhelming evidence left no doubt that nutrition nullified powerful carcinogens in controlling cancer.
As civilizations and cultures become more wealthy and affluent, the consumption of animal products increase. and the result is the increase of chronic health issues.
New Direction for Dr. Colin Campbell
This information went against Dr. Campbell's life experiences and everything that he had been taught. If this were true and he proceeded to investigate the issue, he could be branded a heretic even if the conclusions followed good science protocol.
However, Dr. Campbell had been raised on the farm and learned to solve problems on his own. Independent thinking was part of his character. The decision to proceed was a difficult one at this time early in his career, but it was "full speed ahead".
This decision has prompted a revolution in America and other cultures as to how we should think about the food we place on our dinner plates.
Dr. Campbell's Study in China
From the conclusions of the animal studies, it was time to move into human studies.
Dr. Junshi Chen, a distinguished scientist from China, came to work in Dr. Campbell's lab in the early 1980s. Dr. Chen had been in charge of the "Cancer Atlas" that surveyed 880 million citizens in the 2400 Chinese counties in the 1970s. The atlas depicted graphically where certain types of cancer were high and where they were almost nonexistent.
The wealth of data and collaboration with Dr. Chen led to the idea of The China Study.
Dr. Colin Campbell went on to direct the most comprehensive study of diet, lifestyle, and disease ever attempted in biomedical research. This massive study was sponsored by Cornell University, Oxford University and The Chinese Academy of Preventative Medicine along with obtaining the political permission of the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China.
More that 8000 statistically significant associations were found between various factors and disease. Data was gathered on 365 variables in 65 counties across China. Questionnaires were given to 6500 people along with a blood test and urine test.
Findings: The China Study Diseases Linked to Animal Protein
The counties were located in rural and semi-rural parts of China. Dr. Campbell found that so many of the associations pointed to the same findings:
People that ate the most animal protein got the most lifestyle diseases.
People that ate the most plant protein were the healthiest and tended to avoid lifestyle diseases.
This information that Dr. Colin Campbell gathered became the basis for The China Study.

Prachuap Khiri Khan province's capital, Hua Hin, is located 281 km. south of Bangkok. The old town was abandoned during the fall of Ayutthaya in the 1760s and a new settlement was established in 1845.
Hua Hin is one of Thailand's most popular seaside resorts among overseas visitors as well as Thais. Located on the sunrise (west) side of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin lies some 200 km. or a three-hour drive southwest of Bangkok and is renowned as Thailand's most traditional beach resort. It was here, in the 1920s, that King Rama VII built a summer palace, thus creating a vogue among high society for Hua Hin as a favourite retreat from Bangkok's summer heat. Today the Royal Family continues to reside at Hua Hin for part of the year. Hua Hin is noted for its traditional fishing port with many seafood restaurants, and a splendid sandy beach which starts from a rocky headland next to the port and curves gently for some 3 km. to its southern point where Buddhist temples surmount hilltops. Hua Hin is a well-established beach destination, with full facilities, But in contrast to Pattaya, the long-established resort on the opposite shore of the Gulf, Hua Hin provides a quiet, relaxed retreat amid surroundings which preserve a typical Thai ambience. Hua Hin is thus well suited for families or those who wish simply to escape the city bustle.
Built in the reign of King Rama VI in gingerbread style, this is probably Thailand's most beautiful train station, of which the local people are very proud.
This is situated in a typical old house on Naepkehat Road, It has an exhibition of contemporary Thai art, antique furniture and oId pictures of Hua Hin.
King Rama VII had this summer palace built in 1926 to the north of Hua Hin, consisting of three Spanish-style villas facing the sea. Open daily 9.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m. Contact Tel : 0 3251 1115 for more information.
This hill rises at the southern end of Hua Hin beach. There is a road leading to top where a temple is situated. The nearby Khao Takiap beach offers mostly bungalow accommodation.
Anglers can enjoy a day's outing to this island, just a few kilometers from Hua Hin or Khao Takiap where some boats for hire are available.
This beachside area belongs to the Army Welfare Office and is open to the public. It is at Km 241, some 8 km. south of Hua Hin, and accommodation is available.
This beach lies about 10 km. south of Hua Hin and 1 km. along an access road. It is a sea pine-fringed beach, more secluded than Hua Hin. Bungalows are available.
This waterfall is within a perpetual verdant forest where various birds and butterflies are found, especially in the morning. It has 11 tiers, some of which can be reached along a trekking traiI.
This park is located 63 km. south of Hua Hin. Its 98 sq. km. area features undulating ranges of limestone mountains, mangrove swamps and beaches. It is home to various local birds and hosts many migrating birds, especially from November to February. With a large number of ridges, Khao Sam Roi Yot (300-Peak Mountain) stands as a landmark for seafarers and a shelter for ships in a storm. Attractions within the park area include: Khao Daeng, 400 m. from the park office, has a splendid viewpoint. Ban Khao Daeng, a canalside village, is the starting point for boat trips to watch wild birds. Hat Sam Phraya, located 3.5 km. north of the park office, is a beautiful beach lined with sea pines. Accommodation is available. Tham Kaeo, full of stalactites and stalagmites, is situated 15 km. north of the park office. Oil lamps to assist exploring can be rented at a nearby village. Tham Sai is 9 km. north of the park office. Exploration inside the cave takes about half an hour. Oil lamps can be rented at nearby Khung Tanot Village. Hat Laem Sala is a beach located 16 km. north of the park office. It can be reached by boat or by walking across a hill from Bang Pu Village. Ascending a beachside mountain, visitors will arrive at a famous cave called Tham Phraya Nakhon.
The cave has a big hole in its roof through which shafts of light reach and permit the growth of various plants. Most famously, the light shines on Phra Thinang Khuha Kharuehat, a Thai-style pavilion, a compelling sight which has become the symbol of Prachuap Khiri Khan, The four-porched wooden pavilion was constructed in Bangkok in 1890 during King Rama V's reign, then dismantled and moved to the cave where it was reconstructed. Its gable tops were raised by the king himself.
