A-W-E-S-O-M-E & Serene Winter Mountain Snow Scenes (TallSky Videography)
Videography original and copyright by TallSky Videography
A Barnsley Chronicle reporter rides a snow plough and gritter
Barnsley Chronicle reporter Mike Cotton rode with a Barnsley gritter crew amid heavy snow on Tuesday January 5 2010 to see what the job entails. This is a video report of the journey.
Below is the story which appeared in the Chronicle on January 8 2010 - unfortunately the camera was not running when the first incident described occured:
OH DEAR is an approximate translation of what the driver said as his 17-tonne grit lorry slid sideways towards a parked car near the Ship Inn at Worsbrough.
The seven tonnes of grit stored above the back wheels decided it didn't want to go in the same direction as the front wheels, and as I sat in the middle seat between driver Rob Hewlett and driver's mate John Allott, that was quite scary for about three seconds.
Rob, a council driver of 23 years experience, took a 'stood up' stance at the wheel so he had a better view of the snow plough, which sticks out a foot at either side of his truck, as he came closer to the parked Rover.
He had his body almost flat across the steering wheel as he steered his lorry back on course.
The crisis was quickly averted with Rob hardly batting an eyelid.
He said: We're out in these conditions all the time when it's like this so we're used to this sort of driving. But for a lot of road users, it can be quite scary.
Rob said his 12 hour shifts - which were sometimes up to 27 hours in the old days before the European Time Directive curbed long hours - are a thankless task.
He said: People don't realise salt isn't a miracle powder that's going to instantly melt all the snow. We can do a heavy grit for snow on a road, but until the traffic churns it up and dissolve it, it's not going to melt.
If it's snowing heavily within an hour it's completely covered again. But you'd definitely know about it if we hadn't been gritting.
Every year there are scores of complaints roads haven't been gritted. But Rob says in terms of main roads, they almost always have.
On Tuesday morning lorries stuck going up what appeared to be an ungritted Harborough Hill Road - we had comprehensively gritted it just 90 minutes earlier.
Gritters are fitted with snow ploughs only when snow is more than two inches deep, and when they are, two men are needed on each vehicle because it is so wide.
Driver's mate John said: We'll drive through somewhere and someone will shout 'where've you been'. They don't seem to understand not everybody can be first. We've probably already gritted before it started snowing anyway.
We'd love to be gritting every bit of road all the time, but we haven't got the man hours and the vehicles. We don't get enough of this weather to justify it.
If we'd got hundreds of gritters parked up doing nothing ten months of the year, everyone would be saying 'what a waste of money'.
It's a balance.
There were ten gritters working on Monday and Tuesday - four from the Penistone depot, six from Smithies. It takes then less than four hours to grit all 320 miles of main roads.
Rob added: If we were in Canada, we'd need the extra resources, but when it happens here, we just need to do the best we can.

Church of Scientology
The Church of Scientology is an organization devoted to the practice and the promotion of Scientology, a new religious movement. The Church of Scientology International is the Church of Scientology's parent organization, and is responsible for the overall management, dissemination and propagation of Scientology. Every Church of Scientology is separately incorporated and has its own local board of directors and executives responsible for its own activities and corporate well-being. The first Scientology church was incorporated in December 1953 in Camden, New Jersey by L. Ron Hubbard. Its international headquarters are located at the Gold Base, located in an unincorporated area of Riverside County, California, the location of which is kept secret from most Scientologists.
The highest authority in the Church of Scientology is in The Church of Scientology International (CSI) and the Religious Technology Center (RTC), whose headquarters are in Los Angeles. CSI is the mother church and has the mission of propagating the Scientology creed around the world. RTC's main function is to preserve, maintain, and protect the purity of the Scientology technology in accord with Hubbard's original research and to insure its proper and ethical delivery. The Scientology Missions International is under CSI and RTC and functions as the central church to Scientology missions worldwide.

Aerial view of Beautiful beach at Hubbard creek near Port Orford Oregon
I think this is one of my best videos so far. Finally getting the hang of a smoother control and glide patterns. Just south of Port Orford and a short walk from HWY 101 under a bridge and your there. A favorite spot for local surfers and beach combers. Big rocks and forested cliffs make for one of the most beautiful coastlines. Enjoy!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands, such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula, who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation.England's terrain is chiefly low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there is upland and mountainous terrain in the north (for example, the Lake District and Pennines) and in the west (for example, Dartmoor and the Shropshire Hills). The capital is London, which has the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the European Union. England's population of over 55 million comprises 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around London, the South East, and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East, and Yorkshire, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.The Kingdom of England – which after 1535 included Wales – ceased being a separate sovereign state on 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union put into effect the terms agreed in the Treaty of Union the previous year, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland (through another Act of Union) to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The History of Mr. Polly Audiobook by H. G. Wells | Audiobook with subtitles
A funny and touching account of the imaginative Mr. Polly who, bored and trapped in his conventional life, makes a U-turn –- and changes everything.
H.G. Wells’ early life as the son of a semi-insolvent shopkeeper and as a draper’s apprentice fueled his novels of the lower middle class: The Wheels of Chance (1896), Kipps (1905), and The History of Mr. Polly (1910). These works evoke the desperation of apprentices, clerks, and small traders in their monotonous toil behind shop counters. And, like Mr. Polly, his protagonists make a break from their mundane lives with more or less success.
H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific writer in history, general and science fiction, and politics. He was a lifelong socialist. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
