THE MIRACLE WORKERS
By John Halford Tuscumbia, Alabama:My favourite movie of all time is ‘The Miracle Worker’, the story of blind, deaf Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, whose love and patience taught Helen to read and speak. My favourite scene is the moment at the well where Helen suddenly grasps the link between symbols and objects. Today I was able to visit the place where the miracle happened. Helen Keller was born in this quiet northern Alabama town.
Our special places - Red Rocks, Millowl, by Sue Saliba
Red Rocks, Millowl. Paintings: Ann Shenfield By Sue Saliba Ancient rocks, sea creatures as alien and beautiful and strange as the oldest language. The rock pools with their miniature worlds. And beneath the smooth water, a forest unable to be seen. Or perhaps imagined, not in its entirety or its exquisite detail. A seal pokes her whiskered face through the blue surface, a cormorant stands like a crucifix on the edge of the rock platform, his black wings outstretched to slow his beating heart.

These Article 50 judgments entrench sovereignty
Over the last week, former first Parliamentary Counsel Sir Stephen Laws and SOAS’ Gunnar Beck have harshly criticised the Inner House of the Court of Session and the European Court of Justice’s Advocate General for entertaining a claim seeking a definitive ruling on the revocability of an Article 50 notice. Like the channel tunnel’s engineers, they start at different places and meet at a mid point.
Brexit and legal certainty
The lord chief justice is about to hear what some have described as this generation’s most important constitutional case. Others, including the prime minister, dismiss it as forestalling Brexit’s inevitability. Who is right? The litigation began inauspiciously when Spanish hairdresser Dier Dos Santos issued an urgent judicial review of the decision the government had then yet to make about precisely how to exit the EU.
City of Memphis - Tidslinje
Today at Memphis Animal Services, Director Alexis Pugh is announcing a progressive step toward a better animal shelter that could lead to more adoptions. MAS is eliminating the use of breed labels for pets, instead referring only to the size and coloring of the pet. Here’s why: Research shows that breed labeling based on visual assessment alone is unreliable, and many labels are wrong.
City of Memphis - Tidslinje
ed a,replacement, it took about 5 weeks. Well I got a smelly, raggedy trash can with a hole in it. I contacted the city and 2 days later I received a brand new one. My trash pick up day was Tuesday, and guess what, they took my new can and replaced it with a raggedy smelly one with a hole. I am livid. I have no words for how I feel. I checked my neighbors and no one has a new trash can, so no one stole it. I want my new trash can, the old one is on the curb, and there it will stay.
Did God Set Fire to York Cathedral?
Did God Set Fire to York Cathedral? EARLY in the morning of July 9, 1984, York Cathedral caught fire. The wooden vaulted roof of the south transept was destroyed. The interior suffered extensive damage. Only the determined efforts of more than 100 fire fighters saved one of Europe's largest Gothic cathedrals from being consumed. The official explanation was that a freak bolt of lightning touched off the fire.
