The Eastfjords of Iceland is a 120 kilometre (75 miles) stretch of coastline from Berufjörður, in the south, to the small fishing village of Borgarfjörður Eystri in the north.
Visit this region on a tour of the Eastfjords.
Out of the country's total population of 335,000 people, only an estimated 3.2% live in East Iceland. Locally referred to as "Austurland" or "Austfirðir", the whole area covers 22,721 square kilometres (8,773 square miles). Explore the region on a tour of the East Fjords.
Nature in East Iceland
East Iceland has many narrow fjords, surrounded by steep cliffs. Fishing villages sit in most of them.
Often overlooked by visitors, the East Fjords represent the very best of what Iceland has to offer. Including fantastic scenery, remote fishing villages, sparkling lakes, dense forests and traditional farms.
The region boasts the sunniest weather in the country, as well as some of Iceland's most well-known and loved wildlife.
This region is especially famous for its herds of wild reindeer. It is the only place in the country that reindeer live. Initially brought over for farming, the industry was never lucrative, and they have roamed free ever since.
Migratory birds live both inland and in the cliffs in summer, including the elusive puffin.
Many rivers run through the district and by their estuaries, colonies of seals reside. The fertile waters also provide food to whales and dolphins, making them visible even from the side of the shore.
The impressive mountain Snӕfell (not to be confused with Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the West of Iceland) is Iceland's highest free-standing peak and sits in the East. Near here is the highland oasis of Eyjabakkar, one of the world's most significant nesting places for the pink-footed goose.
Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier, stretches to the borders of Eastern Iceland and is so large it is visible from many places throughout the region.
Breathtaking coastlines and the promise of tranquil solitude also bring visitors to East Iceland. It would make an ideal stop on your ring road adventure.
There are plenty of things to do in Iceland's East Fjords. If you enjoy pleasant walks through nature, Borgarfjörður Eystri is a hiker's paradise. Local folklore tells that this area is home to elves and Iceland's 'hidden folk'.
There are also incredible basalt rock formations in Studlagil Canyon. Though the canyon requires a hike to reach it, it's a genuinely astonishing place for geologists and nature lovers alike.
The East of Iceland is also home to some beautiful waterfalls, such as Litlanesfoss and Hengifoss.
Egilsstaðir
East Iceland has only a few towns with vital services. The main one of these, considered to be the capital of the region, is Egilsstaðir.
Egilsstaðir has restaurants, museums, shops, petrol stations and an array of accommodation options to suit all budgets. It is also home to an airport, meaning those with limited time or without a driving licence can easily reach it from Reykjavík.
This small, idyllic town in the East of Iceland is famous for many reasons. The most popular things to do near Egilsstadir include hiking, visiting a swimming pool or Spa (Vok Baths is particularly special), visiting waterfalls, and exploring the quaint town. It also boasts a famous Heritage Museum. This gives visitors an insight into the lives of East Icelanders in days gone by.
The area is packed with fantastic cultural landmarks, such as Hallormsstaðarskógur, the country's largest forest. This can be found just on the eastern shore of Lake Lagarfljót. Look closely enough at the lake, and you may spot a worm monster in the water.
Hallormsstaðaskógur covers 740 hectares. It is made up of over eighty different species of trees from all over the world. The rate it has grown at is astonishing, considering that in 1910 it was merely a small group of trees within a protected paddock.
Egilsstaðir also has an annual electronic music festival, Hringrás; the Orsteiti Town Festival; and a jazz festival.
For something a touch more relaxing, one could also take a soothing dip in the swimming pool at Selárlaug, near Bakkafjörður. The pool is surrounded by mountains and beautiful views over the fjord and is considered one of the most authentic experiences available in the region.
In the East Fjords in winter, you'll have an excellent chance to see the Northern Lights from such remote areas as Egilsstaðir, weather permitting of course.
Those visiting Iceland by ferry from mainland Europe or the Faroe Islands will make port at Seyðisfjörður. The town has a small population of 700 people. It is famous for its ornate wooden architecture, Scandinavian influence and historical herring-fishing industry. Much of the timber used to develop Seyðisfjörður was shipped over by Norway ready-made in the 18th century.
In the town centre lies a rainbow-painted street, which leads to a famous blue church.
Seyðisfjörður is surrounded by pounding waterfalls, flat-top mountains and serene hiking trails, complemented by gorgeous panoramas over the adjacent fjord.
Other activities available from or near Seyðisfjörður include scuba diving, skiing, sea angling, paragliding and horseback riding. There are also several cultural exhibits to visit. These include the Fjarðarsel Power Plant Museum and Skaftfell Centre for Visual Arts.
Fáskrúðsfjörður
Fáskrúðsfjörður is a village with a population of just 700. It is nestled in the heart of the East Fjords and has a very distinct culture all of its own.
Its first settlers were French fisherman, and their legacy lives on in this small town. They first arrived in the mid-1800s. The Frenchmen built houses, a hospital and a harbour, which they considered to be all they would need for their time in Iceland.
They were quite settled here in this small coastal village. However, in the First World War, many Frenchmen were called into duty in defence of France. The town soon emptied of men. However, their heritage lives on.
It's possible to visit the french hospital, where the full story of these French settlers can be learned. It has recently been renovated and stands as a hotel and a museum.
As a nod to the village's founding fathers, the town continues to display signs in both Icelandic and French. It is also linked to a town in France called Gravelines.
Here they hold two parties every year to celebrate their connection to Iceland. The first is in spring when fisherman would set off to fish in Iceland. The second in autumn, as these men were returning to French shores.
In Fáskrúðsfjörður, the town celebrates its Frenchified connection in the height of summer. July is peaking fishing season, and so the celebrations tended to coincide with this.
For anglers visiting the area, fishing is readily accessible in the nearby Dalsá river.
Visitors are also advised to hike the path along Gilsá river towards the waterfall Gilsárfoss, where they can walk behind the cascading water.
Breiðdalsvík
Breiddalsvik is located south of Fáskrúðsfjörður. It is a small village with a population of just 140 people. This is an excellent location for people who enjoy hiking, and it's a great spot to look out for wild reindeer, who are often spotted roaming the nearby area.
Visitors can also enjoy the black sand beach of the charming fishing village of Breiddalsvik. It's possible to take a road trip to the longest and widest valley in Iceland, Breiðdalur.
Papey Island
Papey ("Friar's Island") is an uninhabited island located off the east coast of Iceland. The island is approximately 2 square kilometres (0.8 square miles). Its highest point measures 58 metres (190 feet) above sea level. Boat trips to Papey depart every summer from Djúpivogur.
The island is named after Gaelic monks ("The Papar"). These monks are thought to have inhabited the island long before the Norse settlement. Papey was lived on from the 10th century until the year 1966 when the island's residents finally moved to the mainland.
For centuries, Papey's residents had supported themselves on fishing for shark, hunting seals and puffins, and tending to their farmsteads. In later years, the residents would also harvest down from Eider Ducks living on the island.
Today, visitors to Papey can enjoy the large puffin colonies that still live on the island. It's also interesting to see the remnants of the former settlement including a lighthouse, church and weather station. These all still exist much as they did in 1966.
Culture of East Iceland
One of the central points of culture in the East is the cultural and historical centre, Skriðuklaustur, in the Fljótsdalshérað district. In the Middle Ages, a monastery stood on this site. From then on it became the region's religious centre. In the 20th century, the Icelandic author Gunnar Gunnarsson made it his home.
Gunnar wrote many masterpieces, such as Aðventa (The Good Shepherd), Svartfugl (The Black Cliffs) and Saga Borgaraettarinnar (The Saga of the One-Eyed Guest). He also wrote the autobiographical novel, Fjallkirkjan, which has been given a variety of different titles once translated, including The Church on the Mountain, Ships in the Sky and The Night and the Dream.
Festivals play a significant role in the culture of the East today. Seyðisfjörður hosts the annual music festival LungA. The settlement of Neskaupsstaður also hosts two highly popular annual festivals, Neistaflug and Eistnaflug.
East Iceland is also home to the Kárahnjúkar hydroelectric power station, which provides many of the towns with energy. The construction of this has led to a hot debate on Iceland's ecological footprint. The debate continues today.

The En Remilly vineyard came into being in the 1980s when stone crushing equipment was deployed in the land that sits between Saint-Aubin and the Montrachet hill. The resulting wines from the Hubert Lamy domaine as well as other producers have proven the sagacity of turning wilderness into wine. Last tasted in 2011, I wondered how well this 2007 Saint-Aubin blanc would have aged. No need for concern! The colour is bright, fresh and reflective: no sign of oxidation. A nose of citrus fruits, oak. Fresh, linear, light on the palate with green apple and pear flavours. This is not opulent or mind-blowing but its still impressively fresh without being overly acidic. Would have been a challenge to have spotted as a ten year old Saint-Aubin in a blind tasting. Scores 74/100 reflecting the wine's characteristics, vintage and terroir quality.

The social media archive is now fully searchable!
Posted by MirrorWeb on 16 Jan 2020
Our social media archive is now the first of its kind in the UK to feature a search function, allowing users to easily navigate our growing collection of tweets, Flickr images and YouTube videos from a range of central government departments and arm's-length bodies.
Through newly-designed access pages, users can now carry out keyword searches and filter results by government department, time period and platform.
The project was a collaboration between The National Archives and MirrorWeb which also involved expanding the number of Twitter and YouTube channels and incorporating images from Flickr for the first time.
All social media content is indexed into Elasticsearch using MirrorWeb's serverless indexing technology, providing users with a unified full-text search experience across all of the archived social media channels. This allows users to interact with the Social Media Archive in a whole new way by making use of new and advanced filtering capabilities.
John Sheridan, Digital Director at The National Archives, said: "We're really breaking new ground here, improving public access to an important collection that records the government's use of social media. As the official archive of government, it is our job to keep and make available the record, whatever form it takes. This social media collection contributes to our understanding of recent events and will be preserved as part of the official public record for generations to come.
"It is important to not only develop new archival practice for what types of records we can preserve, but to improve the ways records can be accessed by the public. With the introduction of the search function, locating relevant social media content in the archive is simpler than ever before."
The social media archive was launched in 2014 and now has over 877,000 tweets, 119,600 Flickr images and 39,900 YouTube videos. It houses content dating back to 2006 and covers an array of 21st Century milestones including the 2016 EU Referendum and the 2012 London Olympics.
David Clee, CEO at MirrorWeb, said: "Social media has become a primary communication channel for organisations and governments across the world. However, due to the ephemeral nature of the web, content is often removed or deleted as quickly as it appears. We believe capturing and archiving this content is key to preserving our digital history and legacy.
In our latest project with The National Archives, we focused on improving the user experience, enhancing the search and filter capabilities of the archive to ensure the collection is accessible and usable for everyone. We're truly proud of everything we've achieved with the National Archives and continue to look forward to helping them in their mission to preserve and protect our government's digital history."
The social media archive houses content dating back to 2006. It covers an array of 21st century milestones including the 2016 EU Referendum and the London Olympics in 2012. You can visit the social media archive by clicking here.

Top 5 most dangerous animals for humans
Before answering the question of dangerousness, it is still necessary to agree on what this notion implies. In general, an animal is considered dangerous when it is capable of killing many people. For that, he must be in contact with a large fraction of the population. If you wanted to include the shark in this top 5, you missed it because this animal has no particular appetite for humans and it does not frequent the same living spaces.
To help you, know that the danger often does not come from the animal itself but the hosts accompanying it. You may be starting to name a few animals from these top 5 most dangerous animals for humans … Here is the solution!
1 The mosquito: undoubtedly the most dangerous
2 The snail
3 The snake
4 The dog
5 Man is a wolf to man.
The mosquito: undoubtedly the most dangerous
The mosquito is truly the number 1 enemy of man, as it alone kills nearly 750,000 people around the world each year. It is not so much the animal itself that kills, but the viruses it transmits by biting its victims. These are several species of mosquitoes capable of carrying around forty different viruses. These are called "arboviruses", meaning that they are viruses spread by blood-sucking insects. The mosquito's most well-known diseases are malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus disease.
The last mosquito species to be talked about a lot and to make Westerners tremble are tiger mosquitoes. It first appeared in the United States in the 1980s, then in Europe in the 1990s. Unsurprisingly, it followed the major tourist and commercial routes to develop.
It has a remarkable ability to travel because its eggs are protected by an impermeable envelope, allowing them to withstand temperatures below 0 and insecticides. They can hatch more than a year after being laid. And unlike many species, the tiger mosquito bites during the day, making it more challenging to protect yourself.
The snail
The snail transmits a parasite called the schistosome which causes schistosomiasis (or bilharzia), a chronic disease responsible for 110,000 deaths each year.
Contamination occurs during activities leading to exposure to contaminated water. Children of school age where the principles of routine hygiene are not respected are particularly vulnerable to this disease. The fight against schistosomiasis is organized through water treatment and the battle against gastropods.
The snake
The snake is a major threat in South and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the regions with the most cases. One hundred thousand people die each year from snakebites.
In our countries, it turns out that the majority of snakes are not poisonous. If the first symptoms generally observed in the victim are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tachycardia, and shivering, these are more due to the bite's emotion, nourished by the collective imagination, which strongly associates the serpent and death. In the event of an edge, one should remain calm but still go to a doctor for an examination without delay.
The cause of death in dogs is actually due to the rabies virus. Every year, nearly 60,000 people around the world die from it. Non-existent in France, the disease is rife, especially in Asia and Africa. The virus is present in saliva and is transmitted by a bite from an infected animal and by scratching or only licking and excoriated skin or mucous membrane.
Man is a wolf to man.
Like other animals, humans can transmit various diseases to their fellows. The latest is that linked to the coronavirus. As of May 11, 2020, the estimated global death toll attributed to him exceeded 282,000.
But let's not forget the human capacity to kill for all kinds of unreasonable motives, which are a great source of inspiration for television series: the number of murders is estimated at 460,000 worldwide.

Register now to join this event and learn about ambitions within the NWA-Bouwstenen Route and joint the discussion about future collaborations with other research initiatives.
Registration is free, lunch and final drinks are included. We will update you with more information via the NWA-bouwstenen website and via this mailing list. We look forward to welcoming you at this event!
Participants to this one day kick-off event will share with each other the inspiringly interconnected research activities within NWA-Bouwstenen, learn more about the progress towards the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena DIEP, and help shape future directions and collaborations within the Route as well as with other NWA and knowledge agenda initiatives.
The Community Event's morning programme opens with an overview of scientific and outreach goals within the consortium and gives an update on running projects.
In the afternoon program, the focus is on one of the three Game Changers within NWA-Bouwstenen. This activity aims to establish a Dutch research community for emergent phenomena to found a Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP). Two distinguished speakers and three highly enthousiastic pitchers will show us the wealth of research possibilities in the field of emergence.
Closing the Community Event's formal programme is a spirited discussion on what connects the different research activities in NWA-Bouwstenen, and what future opportunities can be explored from our strong basis. Science journalist Martijn van Calmthout will moderate the discussion. This session will position us for an upcoming call for proposals by the Dutch National Research Agenda NWA, which will especially favor cross-collaboration between knowledge agendas such as with other NWA Routes and with Topsector initiatives.

More than 2,000 Isis hostages freed from Syrian city of Manbij
Allied Arab and Kurdish fighters retake Syrian city from retreating jihadis, where civilians had been held as human shields

The Islamic State stronghold of Manbij, in northern Syria, has fallen to allied Arab and Kurdish fighters, who freed more than 2,000 hostages held by the terrorist group.

A spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said they had taken over the city after the last Isis militants fled on Friday. According to the SDF and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the freed hostages had been used as "human shields".
Sharfan Darwish, of the SDF-allied Manbij military council, told Reuters: "The city is now fully under our control but we are undertaking sweeping operations."
The Pentagon deputy press secretary Gordon Trowbridge said: "Although fighting in Manbij continues, Isil is clearly on the ropes. It has lost the centre of Manbij, it has lost control of Manbij."
The Arab-Kurdish alliance had expelled most of the Isis fighters from Manbij by last week but dozens continued to put up a tough resistance until Friday.
Meanwhile, Russian and Syrian jets pounded rebel positions in and around Aleppo, killing at least 20 people, a spokesman for the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
On Saturday Germany's foreign minister said aid was desperately needed in Aleppo and that it may be necessary to start an "air bridge" to bring it in.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany was in talks with the US, Russia and the United Nations to try to organise "urgent humanitarian assistance" to the northern city, particularly for medical supplies.
Despite calls for a ceasefire and Russia's promise of a three-hour daily respite from airstrikes to allow in aid, there has been no letup in the violence.

Prior to their withdrawal from Manbij, the Isis fighters abandoned a northern neighbourhood, taking captives with them. They headed for the town of Jarabulus, along the border with Turkey, which their forces hold.
"While withdrawing from a district of Manbij, Daesh [Isis] jihadis abducted around 2,000 civilians from al-Sirb neighbourhood," said Darwish. "They used these civilians as human shields as they withdrew to Jarabulus, thus preventing us from targeting them."
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on sources inside Syria to cover the war, gave a similar report, saying Isis forced about 2,000 civilians into cars it confiscated and headed for Jarabulus.
The jihadis, who have suffered a string of recent losses in Syria and Iraq, have often staged mass kidnappings in the two countries when they come under pressure to relinquish territory.
In January Isis abducted more than 400 civilians as it overran parts of Deir Ezzor province in eastern Syria. It later released about 270 of them.
Isis has used civilians as human shields, booby-trapped cars and carried out suicide bombings to slow advances by their opponents and avoid coming under attack. Thousands of civilians were held captive by the group in Fallujah, which Iraqi forces recaptured in June after a four-week offensive.
On Friday the Site intelligence group said Isis had killed five men in Iraq for smuggling people out of territory it controls.

With air support from the US-led coalition, the SDF began its assault on Manbij on 31 May, surging into the town three weeks later. The offensive was slowed by a fightback by jihadis, before a big push last week saw the alliance seize 90% of the town.
Tens of thousands of people lived in Manbij before the assault started. The United Nations has said more than 78,000 people have been displaced since then.
Manbij was strategically significant because it was on Isis's supply route from the Turkish border to Raqqa, the de facto capital of its self-styled Islamic "caliphate".
The observatory said the battle for Manbij had claimed the lives of at least 437 civilians, 299 SDF fighters and 1,019 jihadis.
In Aleppo, the observatory said at least 20 people were killed on Friday in Syrian and Russian air raids on rebel positions. Twelve were killed in Hayyan, a small town 15km (10 miles) north of Aleppo, it said.
An AFP correspondent in the rebel-held east of the city said several neighbourhoods had been hit. The correspondent said people had been out on the streets to stock up on supplies after weeks of shortages caused by a punishing government siege.
Syria's state news agency Sana, quoting a military source, said the warplanes destroyed several rebel positions and vehicles and killed "dozens of terrorists". The observatory said clashes raged between rebels and pro-regime forces south of Aleppo.
Friday's raids took place despite a pledge by Russia to observe a three-hour daily ceasefire in Aleppo to allow for humanitarian aid deliveries. An estimated 1.5 million people live in the city, including about 250,000 in rebel-held districts.
Syria's conflict erupted in March 2011. Since then more than 290,000 people have been killed and world powers have been drawn in on all sides of the war.

Estate of Sargavak
Estate of Sargavak , 41 Cal.2d 314
[L. A. No. 22189. In Bank. Aug. 11, 1953.]
Estate of RUBY SARGAVAK, Deceased. H. KURKJIAN et al., Appellants, v. J. G. OHANNESON et al., Respondents.
Cameron & Perkins, William Kinley, Simpson & Wise and George E. Wise for Appellants.
C. W. Byrer, Charles E. Hobart, Robert M. Dulin, Spurgeon Avakian and Melvin E. Fink for Respondents.
CARTER, J.
This is an appeal from an order in proceedings to determine heirship in the estate of Ruby Sargavak, deceased, initiated by nephews and nieces, the only heirs of Mrs. Sargavak. J. G. Ohanneson and Samuel G. Mahdesian, the legatees in the codicil later mentioned, were declared by the order to be entitled to the entire estate under the codicil.
It appears that in 1945 Mrs. Sargavak made a witnessed will in which she named her heirs as legatees and Mahdesian as executor. That will was admitted to probate and a contest filed on the ground of mental incapacity. Following a verdict for contestants the probate court granted to proponents a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. That judgment was reversed on appeal (Estate of Sargavak, 95 Cal.App.2d 73 [212 P.2d 541]) and judgment entered on the verdict. The trial court then granted a motion for a new trial, and apparently that proceeding has not progressed beyond that stage.
Shortly after the 1945 will was offered for probate a holographic instrument, dated September 29, 1946, was offered for probate as a codicil to the 1945 will. It reads:
"1566 W-29th St.
Los Angeles 7, Cal.
"To Whom It May Concern:
"I the writer--Mrs. Ruby Sargavak wants everyone to know that she is writing these lines of her own free will--no one is putting her [TEXT STRICKEN]-[of]- or urging her to do it. She leaves everything she has to her Boy Sam Mahdesian & her layer, J. G. [41 Cal.2d 317] Ohanneson--she gives them power of attorney to divide what is left of her belongings to them. She specifically advises to give nothing what so ever to Mrs. Lillian Shooshan--she is no relation nor friend of hers--Mrs. Sargavak has been more than kind to her, just because she begged us to help her for a little time--Mrs. Sargavak would rather help her very own nieces & grand nieces & perfect strangers, who are truly in need of help. God has been good to us, she did not appreciate the goodness of the Lord to her. All honor & glory unto his High and Holy Name! Mrs. Ruby Sargavak. P. S. It is 8 o'clock, I am very tired--
Ruby Sargavak."
Its probate was contested by Mrs. Sargavak's heirs on the ground that she did not intend it as testamentary disposition of her property. Extrinsic evidence was received on that question and it was ordered admitted to probate. On appeal it was claimed that the evidence without contradiction showed no testamentary intent and also that extrinsic evidence was not admissible. The order was affirmed, this court stating that "we are here concerned not with the meaning of the instrument (codicil), but with the intention with which it was executed." (Estate of Sargavak, 35 Cal.2d 93, 96 [216 P.2d 850, 21 A.L.R.2d 307].) We held that extrinsic evidence was admissible to show whether the testator intended the codicil to be effective.
In the instant heirship proceedings initiated by decedent's heirs the latter asserted that it was her intent by the codicil that the property go to Ohanneson and Mahdesian in trust for persons other than Mrs. Shooshan and that they have power of attorney to divide it between the other persons, but as the beneficiaries of the trust were uncertain (the claimed beneficiaries being decedent's nieces and nephews and strangers) the trust failed and the property would pass by intestate succession to the heirs. The court refused to permit the heirs to introduce any extrinsic evidence to show that the intent was that claimed by them and determined that Ohanneson and Mahdesian took the property absolutely, and that no trust was intended by the codicil.
The heirs, petitioners in the heirship proceedings, assert error, claiming that the codicil was ambiguous on its face and extrinsic evidence was admissible to show a trust. In this connection they contend that this court's decision in the former appeal (Estate of Sargavak, supra, 35 Cal.2d 93) [41 Cal.2d 318] established that such evidence was admissible. The extrinsic evidence sought to be introduced by petitioners consisted of the circumstances surrounding the making of the will such as the size of the estate, the property involved and the circumstances and relations of the parties involved; and oral declarations of the testatrix such as were mentioned in Estate of Sargavak, supra, 35 Cal.2d 93, including her statement to Mahdesian in referring to the codicil--that she wanted Ohanneson, her attorney, and him, as her executor, to take care of her estate the way he knew she wanted it.
[1] Referring to the last contention first (the effect of the decision in the former appeal on this case), it is clear that the decision on the former appeal has no bearing upon the present case. As above mentioned it was there expressly stated in the forepart of the opinion that the court was concerned only with the question of whether the codicil was intended as a testamentary document and not with the meaning of the instrument. Here we are concerned with the meaning--whether there was an intent to create a trust. It is true, as stated by Ohanneson and Mahdesian, that we there said, in discussing the evidence on the question of testamentary intent, that nothing indicated an intent that decedent did not leave the property to those persons, that there was evidence of such intent because of the close association between decedent and them and that the purpose to leave her property to them was expressed by the instrument. But that discussion was aimed solely at the question of whether she intended to make a will and not as to the meaning of the will--as to whether their interest should be absolute. The only thing before the court was whether the codicil was a will and no question of construction was involved. (See Estate of Salmonski, 38 Cal.2d 199 [238 P.2d 966].)
The statutes on the subject of the admissibility of extrinsic evidence in the construction of wills provide: "A clear and distinct devise or bequest cannot be affected by any reasons assigned therefor, or by any other words not equally clear and distinct, or by inference or argument from other parts of the will, or by an inaccurate recital of or reference to its contents in another part of the will." (Prob. Code, § 104.) "When there is an imperfect description, or no person or property exactly answers the description, mistakes and omissions must be corrected, if the error appears from the context of the will or from extrinsic evidence, excluding the [41 Cal.2d 319] oral declarations of the testator as to his intentions; and when an uncertainty arises upon the face of a will, as to the application of any of its provisions, the testator's intention is to be ascertained from the words of the will, taking into view the circumstances under which it was made, excluding such oral declarations." (Prob. Code, § 105.) Recently this court has stated the rules of construction and on the admissibility of extrinsic evidence. [2, 3] To impose a trust upon property bequeathed it must appear that the testator intended to impose mandatory duties, and where an absolute estate has been devised by will, that estate will not be limited by subsequent words unless they indicate as clear an intention therefor as was shown by the words creating the estate (Estate of Collias, 37 Cal.2d 587 [233 P.2d 554]; Estate of Kearns, 36 Cal.2d 531 [225 P.2d 218]; Prob. Code, § 104, supra). [4] While declarations of the testator before and after the execution of the will are admissible for the purpose of ascertaining the intent with which the instrument was executed, they are not admissible "for the purpose of proving the meaning the testator attributed to specific provisions of the admitted will. [Citations.] 'Such ... declarations of intent to make a will are admissible when the attempt is not to explain an ambiguity but to show the testamentary character of a letter.' " (Estate of Sargavak, supra, 35 Cal.2d 93, 97.) In Estate of Kearns, supra, 36 Cal.2d 531, the court was considering whether a clear dispositive clause of a will was modified by a later clause which seemed to indicate, by allegedly precatory words, the creation of a trust. We concluded that the later clause was not as clear as the dispositive clause and hence under section 104 of the Probate Code, supra, a trust was not created unless the intent of the testator to do so can be shown by extrinsic evidence and "Section 104 must be read with section 105 of the Probate Code which provides that 'when an uncertainty arises upon the face of a will, as to the application of any of its provisions, the testator's intention is to be ascertained from the words of the will, taking into view the circumstances under which it was made, excluding ... oral declarations' of the testator as to his intentions." (Estate of Kearns, supra, 36 Cal.2d 531, 537.) [5] As there was an "uncertainty" on the face of the will the trier of fact may consider such matters "as the size of the estate, the property involved in the gift, the circumstances of the parties and their relation to each other and to the [41 Cal.2d 320] testator." In other words, oral declarations of the testator are not admissible but circumstances may be shown where there is an uncertainty. [6] Or as was said in Estate of Salmonski, supra, 38 Cal.2d 199, 214: "When an uncertainty arises upon the face of a will as to the meaning of any of its provisions, the testator's intent is to be ascertained from the words of the will, but the circumstances of the execution thereof may be taken into consideration, excluding the oral declarations of the testator as to his intentions. ... But 'where the intent is plain' from the words used, 'the duty of the court is to declare that intent, without regard to the consequences.' " As in the Kearns case, the question here presented is whether the testatrix intended to create a trust rather than an ascertainment of who are the beneficiaries thereof if one was created, hence it is not a case of determining an "imperfect description" or where no "person exactly answers the description" as contemplated by the first clause of section 105 of the Probate Code, supra. The problem is whether a trust was intended at all for any beneficiaries, not who those beneficiaries might be after it has been determined that a trust was intended. Thus it is not a question of ascertaining the objects or property of the testator's bounty, and cases on that issue relied upon by petitioners are not applicable.
[7] Decisive on the admissibility of extrinsic evidence is, therefore, the presence or absence of uncertainty in the codicil. That there is no uncertainty is plain considering the codicil and rules of construction applicable. The bequest to Mahdesian and Ohanneson, hereafter referred to as legatees, is positive and unequivocal. The testatrix declares that she "leaves everything she has" to her "boy" Mahdesian (he was not her son) and her lawyer Ohanneson. True, she goes on to state that she "gives them power of attorney to divide what is left of her belongings to them," but the giving of the power of attorney does not indicate a trust as it is only an authorization to the legatees to divide the property between them, merely another way of saying that she leaves it to them with full power to take charge of it and divide it. It is clear that when she said she gave power of attorney to "them" the "them" referred to the legatees, and it clearly follows that the second "them" in the same clause also refers to the legatees. There is no relation between that "them" and the nieces and grandnieces and strangers later mentioned. She states that Mrs. Shooshan is to be given nothing, undoubtedly [41 Cal.2d 321] fearing a possibility that the legatees might give her something, an eventuality which she wants to avoid because of her feeling toward Mrs. Shooshan. The references to nieces and grandnieces and "perfect" strangers is a further expression of her dislike for Mrs. Shooshan, it being stated that she would rather help them than Mrs. Shooshan, indicating that she did not even see fit to help such persons. When she refers to what is "left of her belongings" she plainly means what is left at the time she dies or after the creditors and expenses of administration have been paid.
It is urged that because Mahdesian was named executor in the 1945 will (none was named in the codicil) and that will stands as far as it appoints an executor, a presumption arises that the bequest to him was intended to be in trust. It is not known now whether the 1945 will will withstand the contest as a new trial has been granted and the outcome is not known as above mentioned. Aside from that, however, the law is not as claimed by petitioners. Even if Mahdesian was named as executor in the codicil it still appears that he is clearly made a legatee, and any power of attorney does not appear to be addressed to him as executor. [8] "Where the person directed to carry out the wishes of the testator is both executor and legatee, the courts in construing the effect of the language have refused to follow the strict rule which imposes a mandatory duty on the executor and have apparently treated the words as being addressed to him in his capacity as legatee." (Estate of Kearns, supra, 36 Cal.2d 531, 534; Estate of Collias, supra, 37 Cal.2d 587, 590.)
[9] It may be noted that some of the extrinsic evidence to which reference is made in Estate of Sargavak, supra, 35 Cal.2d 93, might indicate that there was an oral agreement between the testatrix and Ohanneson and Mahdesian that they would hold the property received by them under the codicil for petitioners or some of them. Such an oral agreement could be proved by extrinsic evidence and a constructive trust would arise in favor of the beneficiaries, for "Where a testator devises or bequeaths property to a person in reliance upon his agreement to hold the property in trust, the devisee or legatee holds the property upon a constructive trust for the person for whom he agreed to hold it." (Rest., Trusts, § 55; see Sears v. Rule, 27 Cal.2d 131 [163 P.2d 443]; Beck v. West Coast Life Ins. Co., 38 Cal.2d 643 [241 P.2d 544, 26 [41 Cal.2d 322] A.L.R.2d 979]; Orella v. Johnson, 38 Cal.2d 693 [242 P.2d 91]; 25 Cal.Jur. 177.) [10] The probate court is not, however, the appropriate forum in which to establish such a trust; it must be litigated in an independent proceeding in equity. (Sears v. Rule, supra, 27 Cal.2d 131; Estate of Morelli, 102 Cal.App.2d 39 [226 P.2d 716].) Hence, the question cannot be considered in the instant proceeding.
Gibson, C.J., Shenk, J., Edmonds, J., Traynor, J., Schauer, J., and Spence, J., concurred.

Irving ISD Named "Top Digital District" for Use of Cutting-Edge Technology
Irving ISD was named a top digital school district by the Center for Digital Education (CDE). According to the CDE's press release, Irving ISD was selected for its use of innovative technologies such as the 1:1 laptop initiative, STEM curriculum and flipped classroom instruction. "The survey recognizes exemplary school boards' and districts' use of technology to govern their district, communicate with students, parents and community and improve the learning environment and district operations," they wrote.
"We are elated to be recognized at the national level for our commitment to digital learning," said Angie Gaylord, Irving ISD's director of professional and digital development. "Receiving this kind of accolade is a testament to our digital instructional resources, our teachers and students. We always maintain our focus on preparing kids for their future in a competitive, global world," she says, "and this award honors that commitment."
"School districts, with the support of their school boards, continue their commitment to initiatives that enhance learning through innovative technologies," said Alan Cox, Senior Vice President for the Center for Digital Education. "As a result, students are using all kinds of cutting-edge tools that assist learning, inspire creativity and help prepare them for the future. It's my privilege to congratulate these school districts who are leading the way towards modernizing education."
The top-ten rankings are awarded to those school boards/districts that most fully implement technology benchmarks in the evolution of digital education, as represented in the survey questions. All U.S. public school districts are eligible to participate in the Digital School Districts Survey and Irving ISD earned a sixth place ranking in the large student population category, which was 12,000 or more students.
Irving ISD, a PreK-12 public school district with approximately 35,000 students, has received other national recognitions for excellence. Just last month, Irving ISD celebrated its selection as the National Advanced Placement (AP) District of the Year for mid-sized school districts.

Ending the War in Ukraine, Not Life on Earth
2 Comments / December 1, 2022 December 1, 2022
By David Swanson
Remarks on RootsAction Livestream
We have so many knowledgable speakers on this call, and I am so incapable of cramming into 10 minutes all the basic facts about the war that corporate media consumers have never heard and never will, and we've been over them so many, many, many times on so many calls during the past 9 months that we ought to have given birth by now and in any case I just couldn't do it yet again even if I had time, with all the videos and articles already out there to be watched by anyone who wants to watch them. Some places to start are
https://worldbeyondwar.org/ukraine
https://progressivehub.net/no-war-in-ukraine
https://peaceinukraine.org
So, instead, I'm going to offer just a few ideas for creative nonviolent actions.
Idea #1 Billboards
One useful type of campaign, which may or may not cost money, involves billboards. Most billboard companies, and advertising companies that handle the ads for public transit stations, trains, and buses, will allow ads selling things like fighter jets, even though most people who see them will never buy a fleet of fighter jets, and even though the ads celebrate war. But they will refuse to rent ad space to any message that is not selling a product or that is seeking to change public policy in any way other than driving public funds into particular weapons. So, you can try to put up a billboard with a message against war and/or in favor of peace, never have to spend a dime, and sometimes get a good news story about the censorship.
Other times, you can get your ad accepted, and then you have to pay for it. But there are people out there who will donate money for billboards and nothing else, so take them up on it. Get news stories about your successful ad campaign. Hold events flyering and signature-gathering in front of your billboard. Generate letters to editors about your billboard. Hold a public debate about the idea on your billboard. Etc.
The Metro Center subway station in Washington DC now has ads that say "Peace On Earth. worldbeyondwar.org" I thought they'd refuse them and we try for news of censorship, but they said yes and we decided to go ahead. If you want to be part of related events in DC this next month, or to see more about billboard campaigns, or to let me know ideas for new ones, go to worldbeyondwar.org
Idea #2 Bases
One way to open up a conversation about the global disaster of NATO expansion is to oppose current NATO expansion at the level of particular families. NATO is trying to create a giant military training ground on mountain plateaux in Montenegro, where the people have organized protests, elected government promising to prevent it, and put their lives on the line as human shields against it. NATO is telling them that environmental destruction is good for the environment, and unwanted military expansion is good for peace and democracy. Support and talk about such resistance campaigns as a means of opening some minds to thinking about NATO. See worldbeyondwar.org/sinjajevina
Idea #3 Debates
Polite public debates on controversial issues, especially debates that include positions not permitted in the corporate media, attract more interest than events promoting a single perspective, reach people who don't already agree with you, and simultaneously model for the public how to passionately disagree on something without becoming hostile or violent. There's hardly any peace event these days without people attending who support and oppose sending weapons to Ukraine. Find the best speaker for each position and announce a debate. If you promote it well and poll the audience at the start and end, the opposition to weapons will gain support if its advocate just provides basic facts that people have never heard: who is profiting, what the money could do instead, that victory is not imminent, who favors and opposes negotiations, etc.
Idea #4 Go to Ukraine
World BEYOND War is organizing a group of unarmed nonviolent defenders to travel to Ukraine and protect a nuclear power plant from attacks, as a model of what unarmed resistance can do. If you're interested in learning more or taking part, go to worldbeyondwar.org/zap
If you'd like a list of dozens of times nonviolent action has been successfully used instead of war, go to worldbeyondwar.org/list
Idea #5 Go After the Media
Last year, when Biden and Putin met and then spoke separately to the media afterwards, U.S. so-called journalists pushed both presidents for more hostility. You could practically smell their lust for blood and war and ratings. Without the corporate media you could not have wars. A protest, when your numbers are small, looks larger in the lobby of a local media outlet than it does in a street. Demand that media outlets cover the nuclear risk, the U.S. government's resistance to ceasefire or negotiations, the tradeoffs of dumping all that money into weapons, and the alternative of peace to endless cheerleading for war on the delusional eternal promise of imminent victory.
Idea #6 Cease Fire
Create local events that are part of national and global days and weeks of events demanding a ceasefire, or a holidy truce, negotiations, compromise, and no victory for anyone. Highlight the calls from leaders around the globe for such steps. Celebrate the tradition of Christmas truces including in World War I. And educate on the wisdom of the need for compromise. If Russia gets what it wants, or if NATO gets what it wants, through mass murder, that will bode ill for our prospects of avoiding mass murder and nuclear armageddon. Or if they go on for years both failing to get what they want, that too will bode very ill for humanity's prospects. The only way we all get what we need is for neither warmaker to get what it wants. This is called compromise. The are children's books and signs on playgrounds with basic wisdom that one is not permitted to say to the State Department or at a meeting of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Promote this basic understanding.
Idea #7 Even When Not in Rome
Italy has dock workers blocking weapons shipments, and giant peace rallies with top politicians opposing weapons shipments, demanding a ceasefire, and insisting on negotiations and peace. I've lived in Italy. Italians are the same species as Americans. They have no special magical powers. But they do have a tradition, perhaps based on numerous political parties and chaotic short-lived coalition governments, of being able to separate policy from party. Waiting to support peace until one of the two political parties empowered to participate in U.S. government is a death sentence. Being for peace first and demanding that the politicians follow is the only path to survival. Believing the lies that protests do not matter is as tragic as believing any particular war propaganda. Believing climate collapse is real, but not taking advantage of 80 degree winter days to rally for peace is climate denial. So, get out there and rally for peace. Do it in mid-January. Do it in February. Do it in March. Do it until war is over.
Is Amnesty the Way to Go?

The Handmaid's Tale is a 1998 opera by Danish composer Poul Ruders, setting a libretto by Paul Bentley based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood. It has a prologue, a prelude, two acts and an epilogue; there is a build-up in each act leading to a big scene. The work premiered in Copenhagen in 2000 and has since been produced in London, Toronto and elsewhere. Bentley's libretto converts a first-person novel into a third-person opera by means of framing devices. The action takes place in a 22nd-century United States taken over by a right-wing theocracy and named Gilead; it starts with a newsreel-like collage: the narrative first frame.

Background
The 21st-century North American society is depicted as one with great suffering and injustice in The Handmaid's Tale. Ecological and political disruption lead to the dismantling of the United States by a right-wing theocracy which takes over to create the new country of Gilead.

The structure of the opera is divided into two parts, which was librettist Paul Bentley's intention. Ruders offered that his basic structure contained a build-up in the acts which lead to a big scene. In Act One, the big scene is Birth, in Act Two it is Death, and the conclusion is quiet and tense. The opera's final structure includes a prelude, Act One, Act Two, and an epilogue.

Rather than beginning the opera in a usual way following the conductor's lead, the opera opens with a newsreel-like collage showing a sequence of many disasters to give a historical frame to the narrative. There is an underlying goal of highlighting similarities between the Gilead experience in this century and Iran's theocratic experience in the previous century, and the setting of the opera takes place at an academic conference far after Gilead has fallen.

Synopsis
Prologue

In AD 2195, the 12th Symposium on the Republic of Gilead is meeting via videoconference. The Republic was formed after Christian fundamentalists assassinated the President and most of the Congress in order to establish a dictatorship based on Biblical principles within the United States. Women in the Republic have no suffrage, right to work, right to education, or right to property. Women who live in sin are taken to Red Centres where they are indoctrinated as Handmaids by Aunts. The Handmaids are sent to barren households, where they are required to be ritually inseminated once a month. Professor Pieixoto introduces an audio-cassette recorded by a Handmaid who is in hiding. She had been taken from her second husband Luke and their daughter.

The Red Centre Prelude

The centre is run by Aunt Lydia. Moira, a friend of the Handmaid who recorded the tape, is captured after an escape attempt. Janine, another woman at the Centre, suffers a breakdown. Moira eventually manages to escape while other Handmaids graduate from the Centre.

Here the Red Centre showcases the multiple practices of indoctrination, which leads to Offred being posted to the home of a higher up Commander. The handmaids are taught a new set of rules based on the Ten Commandments.

Act One

The Handmaid is assigned to a new posting under the command of Fred. She is therefore known as Offred (Of Fred). The wife of the household is Serena Joy, a former Gospel singer. Offred and Ofglen, another Handmaid, go shopping where they encounter the pregnant Janine. A doctor offers to impregnate Offred, but she declines in fear. At her new posting, the handyman Nick and Fred both have illegal contact with Offred when they talk to her and approach her bedroom. The household gathers for the ritual impregnation, and Nick tells Offred that Fred wants to see her privately afterwards, which is also illegal.

Instead of treating Offred as a sexual surrogate, the Commander finds himself attracted to her, which is an unpardonable sin leading to much of the disaster throughout the story.

The next day, the birth of Janine's child prompts all the Wives and Handmaids of the district to gather in celebration. Offred visits Fred that night in private, and once she is back in her bedroom, she collapses in fit of hysterical laughter. This is Offred's way of acknowledging the hopelessness of her situation after the Commander makes her kiss him 'as if she meant it,' as well as it's a way to represent a woman's response to the experience of Gilead as a whole. The inconclusive ending of Act One foreshadows the ending of Act Two.

Act Two

Rita discovers Offred the next morning on the floor of her room. Offred visits Fred again in private, and during their next ritual, he caresses Offred. She fears that Serena Joy will notice the tender gesture. During another round of shopping, Offred and Ofglen confide that they are both breaking the law, as Ofglen talks about the resistance movement. Janine joins them before breaking down again, as a result of the execution of her defective child. Janine is taken off for execution.

Offred continues to see Fred privately. Serena Joy tries to bribe Offred into a union with Nick by showing her a photo of Offred's missing daughter. Offred and Nick begin an affair. At a public execution, the Handmaids are given the opportunity to hang a 'rapist', who is part of the underground. Ofglen kicks him into unconsciousness in order to spare him the pain of hanging. Meanwhile, Serena Joy discovers Offred's affair with Fred. The "Eyes of God", the secret police, arrest Offred.

Epilogue

In the video conference context, Professor Pieixoto asks for any questions, prompting the end of the opera with the lights turning on in the theatre. Professor Pieixoto reveals that no one knows what happened to Offred.

Style
The opera is written in a free tonal style, with clear influences from the operas of Alban Berg and from minimalism.  The musical style is narrative rather than lyric, but Offred does have two full arias, several mini-arias, a beautiful and moving duet with her younger self, and she is one of the quartet at the climax of the opera.

Much of the rather haunting atmosphere is built from the repetitive, chanting, choruses of the handmaids.

Performances and recordings
The opera was premiered in Copenhagen on 6 March 2000 by the Danish Royal Opera, conductor Michael Schonwandt, director Phyllida Lloyd, designer Peter McKintosh. It was subsequently recorded by the same company by Dacapo, currently the only recording of the opera in the catalogue.

The Danish production translated Bentley's libretto from English to Danish, which can be heard on the CD recording. This CD recording was then nominated for two Grammy Awards and received the Cannes Classical Award for the best work by a living composer in 2002.

This production transferred to the English National Opera in London's Coliseum Theatre on 3 April 2003 and ran for seven performances between 3 April and 2 May 2003.

The opera's North American premiere was performed by the Minnesota Opera in May 2003, in a new production, conducted by Anthony Walker, director Eric Simonson, designer Robert Israel, and ran there for five performances between 10 and 18 May 2003. The Danish Royal Opera production transferred to Toronto, Margaret Atwood's home town, on 23 September 2004.

In October 2018 Gertrude Opera mounted a production for the Yarra Valley Opera Festival in Melbourne, Australia. Director Linda Thompson, conductor Patrick Burns, designer Joseph Noonan.

Boston Lyric Opera mounted a production in May 2019, conducted by BLO Music Director David Angus, director Anne Bogart, designer James Scheutte.

In April 2022 the Artistic Director of the English National Opera, Annilese Miskimmon, directed a new production for ENO; conductor Joana Carneiro, designer Annemarie Woods.

In October 2022 the Royal Danish Opera mounted a new production in Copenhagen; the director was John Fulljames, the conductor Jessica Cottis, the designer Chloe Lamford.

Offred Suite is an arrangement by the composer, Poul Ruders, in which five of Offred's arias are interwoven with orchestral interludes from the opera, and the suite ends, as does the opera, with a postlude for full orchestra. It has been recorded by Bridge Records. The CD includes Ruders' Tundra and his Symphony no. 3 "Dream Catcher".

Critical reception
Critical reception to the opera's Copenhagen world premiere was almost uniformly positive (e.g. "Add The Handmaid's Tale to the list of recent works that the Metropolitan Opera should feel obliged to present" - New York Times). In London the reviews were mixed and many hostile. While the power of Atwood's story and skill of Bentley's libretto were recognised, some critics felt that the vocal writing was characterless and for some female characters too shrill and highly pitched to allow for proper diction, while the orchestral writing was judged by some to be bombastic.  Others praised Ruders for his composition's sympathy to the spirit of the novel. The Minnesota and Toronto premieres were widely praised by the critics (e.g. "This well-conceived production restores confidence in the possibilities of contemporary opera as compelling theater" - USA Today).

Both the first Copenhagen and London seasons, and the later productions in America and Canada, were successes with the opera-going public, with houses consistently selling out.

Denmark's Queen Margarethe attended the performance every month for four months when the opera premiered in 2000.

Language
The Handmaid's Tale was from the beginning composed for Paul Bentley's  English libretto alongside Ruders' Danish translation of the libretto. The Danish title was Tjenerindens fortælling.

The Danish Royal Opera who commissioned the work wanted the opera performed in Danish, but performances outside Denmark have all been sung in English.

Music
With the challenge of reflecting the complexity and discomfort of the novel, Ruders' music accurately represents the emotions depicted in the novel. The music alternates between harsh dissonances and sections of religious devotion, suggesting the brutal theocracy of Gilead. The dramatic points of the opera are illustrated by Ruders' rigid, metallic score. Some might see the music as dry and overly dissonant, but it sets a compelling environment for the story. Ruders uses extravagant lyrics for the love scenes in both Offred's affair in Gilead and in her memories. In contrast, he utilizes a unique blend of wolf-whistles and shrieks to show an opposite emotion in a scene where a doctor offers to impregnate her, while in another scene at an undercover brothel has a more upbeat, cabaret-like score.

Adaptation from Novel to Opera
The conversion of a highly complex first-person narrative into a third-person opera was a significantly difficult task that Bentley faced when creating the opera. Through his moving and faithful libretto, Bentley solved the problem of converting the novel into a coherent and effective opera. As he had to simplify the events of the novel, he chose to keep the separation scene of Offred from her husband, Luke, and their child. The reasoning for this is that it stands as a dividing line between the time before and the present. Bentley's effective libretto illustrates the consequences that come from constructing a world of ritual repression while also showing a compelling representation of both Offred's present and past lives.

In contrast with the novel, where the reader discovers at the end that the text is meant to be a reconstruction of a 200-year-old text from multiple cassette tapes, the opera's video conference taking place in the year 2195 shown in the Prologue and Epilogue frames the work from the beginning while also distancing it.

With the novel's first-person narration, the account we witness is personal and intimate based on the main character's own experience. Through this approach, the subjectivity of the narrative is apparent because the story only has direct insight into one person's perspective rather than revealing the thoughts and intentions of other characters. The direct, objective storytelling nature of theatrical opera opens the story to the audience as eyewitnesses to the events happening on stage. Rather than perceiving the events through the filter of the main character, the audience has a chance to create their own perceptions.

There is a clear distinction between reality and fiction in the production. Opening the opera and introducing the audience to the setting of an academic conference, crossing the threshold into the conference hall, acts as a surprise that can be compared to the surprise of the novel's ending. Crossing over between the distinctions of the opera auditorium and the numerous settings of fictionalized space prompts the audience to raise questions of dramatic genres and to also question the relationship between fiction and reality. The framing device being placed at the beginning of the opera places the core story in a delicate position with several layers of reality that overlap each other. This position highlights the subjective angle and underlines the problems of the relationship between reality and fiction.

The Board of Inland Homes provides the following update on trading ahead of its preliminary results announcement for the twelve months ended 30 June 2014, which will be released in September 2015.
The Group's performance for the year ended 30 June 2015 has been extremely strong and, as reported on 17 June 2015, the profit before tax will be significantly ahead of the then consensus forecast in the market of £12.7m. The performance in the first half of the financial year was driven primarily by our housebuilding operations, which was followed by profitable land sales in the second half. The land bank has also continued to grow, notwithstanding the land sales during the year.
As previously reported, the Group took a strategic decision to increase its housebuilding activity in order to take advantage of market conditions and extract maximum value from Inland's land bank. There has been a substantial increase in the number of residential unit completions, with the housebuilding activity playing an increasingly important role in generating Group profits.
The Group completed the sale of 287 (2014: 189) residential units (including units being managed on behalf of Drayton Garden Village Limited ('DGVL')) that include 39 (2014: 75) affordable housing unit equivalents which has resulted in record gross revenues. 31 per cent. of the open market units were sold using the Government's Help to Buy scheme. The Group has a medium term target of achieving approximately 500 residential unit completions per annum.
The Group currently has 195 units under construction across 7 sites (including the construction of 33 units managed for DGVL) with combined forward sales either agreed or contracted of £30 million.
Demand for the Group's consented plots is strong with 435 residential plots sold (including plots disposed of by DGVL) in the second half of the financial year ended 30 June 2015 for a total sum of £39.0 million.
Inland has continued to grow its land bank even after the sale of consented plots and residential units. The land bank now stands at over 5,000 plots together with a significant amount of commercial space (including sites held within joint ventures and managed on behalf of DGVL).
During the financial year, Inland acquired 76 existing houses, together with undeveloped land, that was released by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation at Wilton Park, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. It is the intention of the Group to hold the existing houses as investment properties, where significant value uplift is envisaged over the cost of these properties. 13 of these houses have already been let in the first three weeks of agents being instructed, confirming the strong demand for rental stock. Once fully let the 76 houses are expected to generate gross rental income in excess of £1 million per annum. There are other short term income generating opportunities that the Group are in the course of securing, whilst the scheme is being progressed for the wider development of this site.
The Group has recently received a resolution to grant planning consent for 351 residential plots at its site that was the former Meridian TV Studios in Southampton. Planning applications for 329 residential plots across 8 development sites are currently being considered by various local authorities with further applications for 1,196 residential plots to be made in the near future.
The Group has completed the acquisition of phase 1 of a 10 acre town centre site in Ashford, Middlesex in our joint venture with CPC Group Limited. The site is currently used as a general education college and will accommodate approximately 300 new homes, subject to an appropriate planning consent, with a gross development value in the order of £90 million. This is the second project within this joint venture.
Whilst all of our assets are held with a view to generate significant future value, some produce a regular income stream which helps to underpin the running costs of the business. As a brownfield regeneration specialist we inherit a variety of existing tenants and short term letting opportunities when we acquire sites for ultimate development. Alongside existing income streams and short term letting opportunities, the Group has a policy of holding commercial property developed as part of its mixed use developments. An example of this strategy will be the property let to Sainsbury at Drayton Garden Village which will be transferred to the Group, at a value to be agreed with DGVL, as part payment of its share of profits from DGVL and the proposed pre-let to the Co-op at our site known as RAF Stanbridge in Leighton Buzzard.
We anticipate annual rental income from residential and commercial property to exceed £2 million in the foreseeable future.
The Group's balance sheet continues to improve with £21.4 million (2014: £11.2 million) of cash balances at the year end. Net debt has increased marginally to £30.2 million (2014: £28.8 million), however net gearing has reduced compared to the previous period.
With the strength in our balance sheet along with a strong joint venture partner in CPC Group Limited, we remain confident in acquiring large scale opportunities to deliver further growth in value for our shareholders.
"Inland is fast becoming the brownfield regeneration specialist of choice with major institutional and corporate land owners. We have established an enviable track record as a leading developer of homes and creating vibrant new communities on sites which were previously derelict and redundant."
"The Group is now on a significant growth path which we believe will create further substantial value for our shareholders."

All throughout mankind's historical background, copper has long been connected together with curing. Should it be implemented in combination with quartz crystals, it transmutes into a highly potent Magic Healing Copper Wand. Ancient man understood copper as being an absolutely essential healing compound, and also has long been put into use as an effective curing metal, especially for osteoporosis and rheumatism. As though this weren't enough, copper is in addition thought to generate good luck to it's holder. When put to use in spell work and rituals mainly based on bringing good fortune, it can heighten those powers.
Reported by the ancient myths, copper has the capacity to transfer spiritual energy back and forth between individuals, the mind and the spirit realm and crystals and auras. It's also believed that copper has the strength to heighten thoughts while transmitting and accepting psychic messages. A Healing Copper Wand is also used to increase the 1st Chakra, the Root Chakra as well as the fourth Chakra when preparing for meditating. It can also really focus virtually all forms of energy.
If you're wanting to maximize the output of crystals or gemstones, set them in or near copper and their specific qualities will become more potent. It is also true when copper contacts the human body, it is said to elevate the intensity of one's personal energy. Copper also increases the energy levels of silver, gold and other precious metals.
An exquisite handmade Copper Wand employing a small genuine quartz crystal ball mounted to one end of the wand and a clear terminated crystal point on the other. Small garnet gemstones encircle on both ends of the wand, set in place into the silver rings. The Real Copper Healing Wands are approximately seven and a half inches to eight inches from tip to tip, with some difference given that they are hand-made.
