Hans Christian Andersen and Astrid Lindgren
By Curator Ane Grum-Schwensen
"I was introduced to H.C. Andersen's world of fairy tales around the age of five. Mother was reading Little Claus and Big Claus. The impact it had on me was indelible; I had never heard anything so wondrous, and laughed deeply at Little Claus's quirky cleverness. To me it was completely fair that Little Claus cheated Big Claus into drowning himself." (Astrid Lindgren).
Two Anniversaries
Denmark - and Odense - are back to normal after the great anniversary in 2005, which for better and worse caused storms in the media and cash boxes.
2005 was the the bicentenary of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen. Odense Bys Museer received a generous grant from the City Council, which enabled a complete renovation of The Hans Christian Andersen Museum in the years prior to the celebration.
Without the anniversary and the interest in the fairy tale writer's birthday, such extensive renovation and modernization of the existing exhibitions would not have been possible.
Vimmerby celebrated their anniversary in 2007: namely the centenary of the birth of Astrid Lindgren. Extensive preparations were carried out establishing a new research centre, Astrid Lindgrens Näs, and Astrid Lindgren Gården - formerly connected to the amusement park Astrid Lindgren's World, launched new exhibitions in the old vicarage and Lindgren's childhood home.
Needless so say, we handle celebrations in our own manner and we establish new and permanent exhibitions differently. Individual results and experiences will come of the efforts. The conference for the Nordic literary museums - to be held in Odense and Copenhagen in 2008 - enables us to compare and define our different experience from these two anniversaries.
The two writers are not only very different; they are also separated in time by some hundred years. The poor and lonely childhood of H.C. Andersen in Odense at the beginning of the 19th century are worlds apart from the safe and extroverted childhood enjoyed by Astrid in Vimmerby at the beginning of 20th century.
Their adult life was also worlds apart - not just in terms of the places where they lived, Copenhagen and Stockholm. H.C. Andersen lived in a time and age where a rebel like Pippi Longstocking was absolutely inconceivable. Where as H.C. Andersen's fairy tales were a solid part of Astrid Lindgren's childhood.
And then again: despite the many things separating the two as individuals and writers we see many common denominators in their work and children's literature. These common stamps are obviously not conscious connections. They are bound by their status as great Nordic writers of literature for children whose work has been translated into many, many languages; currently yet another 153 more in H.C. Andersen's case and 93 [i] Astrid Lindgren's. That in itself points to the abundance present in their work, and when we compare the authorships and their artistic qualities, the likeness become evident.
The aim of this article is to identity a subject that has great potential in my opinion. Hopefully it will become the topic of extensive, systematic research. In the following major fields in the two writer's work will be compared. The focus is deliberately aimed at H.C. Andersen's fairy tales and stories rather than the extensive work mainly written to an adult audience.
An Intact Childlikeness
Astrid Lindgren and H.C. Andersen both made their débuts somewhat late in life. H.C. Andersen had reached the age of thirty by the time his first fairy tale was published, and albeit one is still young at that age compared to modern standards, one should consider that the he had been an active writer since the age of 17. Astrid Lindgren's début was even later: Like H.C. Andersen she had been writing since she was a child; at the age of 17 she became a journalist at Wimmerby Tidning, but it was not until she was around 35 she started writing her Pippi Longstocking stories. When Lindgren was 37 years old she won a book competition prize for her teen-age novel " Britt-Marie unburdens her heart ". Rabén & Sjögren launched the competition. By the time Lindgren had turned 38, her first book about the rebel Pippi was published.
In the light of the late débuts it seems a paradox that the most striking common stamps between the two writers are the conspicuous empathy with the child, an identification which may be rooted in an intact childishness. As Helene Høyrup writes: "Andersen was one of the first artist who refused to give up his childishness. [ii]
On February 10th 1834 Andersen writes from Rome to his friend Ludwig Müller after several parties had accused the poet of being too childish: "- What kind of change is it really that you want me to undergo? My sensitivity and my puerility has done me much good and it must vanish! ... My childlikeness ? It is my happiest blessing; if only I could keep it...". [iii]
Astrid Lindgren also describes the loss of childhood - but not childlikeness - as a tragic event:
"It was terrible realising that one had to stop playing at some point. I remember it vividly: we always played with the vicar's granddaughter when she was visiting during holidays. But one day we suddenly could no longer play; we tried but it no longer felt right. We were quite bewildered, what should we do now? That was the end of our childhood; we were around twelve or thirteen". [iv]
This tragedy ceased when the author herself had children - and that might also explain her late début: "When I had my children I rediscovered my own playfulness. I want all sad teenagers to know that it will get fun again. How we played! We went to KarlbergPark where we climbed all the trees". [v]
About her alter ego, Pomperipossa, Astrid Lindgren wrote: "And then she thought: Who knows: after all children may be as childish as I am; maybe they'll also enjoy reading my strange stories?"[vi]
H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren adopts the child's point of view and mind-set: This may seem only natural since we are talking about children's literature but at that time - in the late 1940ies - it was no matter of course at all, and most certainly not when H.C. Andersen wrote his fairy tales. By 1826 he had written the poem "The Dying Child" - world literatures first attempt to view life from the child's perspective. In the poem the child is communicating to his mother.
Narrative Style and Genre
An intact childishness is clearly applied and expressed in the narrative style. In" The Dying Child" the point of view is obvious and the wording also has a distinctive way of addressing the recipient. As professor Torben Weinreich concluded in an interview in the newspaper Politiken:
"H.C. Andersen was very brave when addressing children directly using their language. "Have you been to the countryside? Have you ever seen a really old cottage?". A rather intimate style brilliantly suited for reading out loud. Only one other author has succeeded in using that style, and that is Astrid Lindgren". [vii]
H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren described in their respective memoirs how familiar they were with the oral narration tradition - both having known it since their childhood. These oral narration techniques, which they both used, are:
Directly addressing the reader: "Surely you know a magnifying glass, don't you...", [viii] "Have you ever seen a proper old wooden box ,...?", [ix] "I was thinking about Emil from Lönneberga, who lived at Katthult in country in Smaaland, ever heard of him? ". [x] It is the repetitions such as: "Away! Away! barked the old watchdog" in H.C. Andersen's "The Snow Man" (1861), the usage of verses from hymns " In the valley when the roses be/There the child Jesus you will see!" in "The Snow Queen" (1844), " Whew, whew, whew! On, on, on!" the refrain from the ditty" in "The Wind Tells about Valdemar Daae and His Daughters" (1859), and the title itself (repeated in the text) in Astrid Lindgren's fairy tale Mio, my Mio (1954). (Mio is also Italian for 'mine').
It is the simple syntax, which resembles the spoken language. These techniques contribute to setting up an intimate, personal relationship with the reader.
Endowing objects with spirit is typical for the fable and fairy tales - particularly found in H.C. Andersen's fairy tales and stories. All sorts of objects are personified: Collars, tin soldiers, top and ball, figurines, paviours, etc. This is not so much the case in Lindgren's universe but never the less we do find some examples in stories like "Lustig-Gök", "Mirabell" and "Ingen rövere finns i skogen" [xi] , where dolls and the cuckoo - in its clock - respectively are personified.
The childlike mind-set is present in both worlds. At first the two tales "Little Ida's Flowers" [xii] and "The Brothers Lionheart" [xiii] seem very different; but they both employ fantastic components that are so distinct they can only be described as part of the modern fantasy genre; this mixture of realism and fantastic components were very characteristic to H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren. Both authorships generally display an informal approach to the concept of genre even H.C. Andersen's literature for children. They overlap different genres (fairy tales, stories, poems/songs, letters with an epic air to them) and often many different genres are present in one and the same story.
It has been suggested that H.C. Andersen's fairy tales have hints towards romanticism, modernism and even post-modernism. The two writers also share other ways of experimenting with style by employing endings that deconstruct the course of the plot resulting in readers recalling the tales as tragedies even when they actually have happy endings. This is true about "The Little Mermaid", in which the mermaid is not actually dying but adopted by the daughters of the air and is given the coveted immortality when her body is dissolving into foam. A Swedish reader wrote:
"The scholars are often discussing the ending, many find it contrived and not a part of something organic in its structure. Others have defended that. If you ask me I choose to turn to my adolescent conclusion that truly wished the tale had ended with these words: "She cast one more lingering, half-fainting glance at the prince, and then threw herself from the ship into the sea, and thought her body was dissolving into foam". [xiv]
Several abridged versions do indeed end with these words. The same goes for Lindgren's fantastic epos about Bröderna Lejonhjärta (The Brothers Lionheart), where some readers find the ending, where the brothers face death together for the second time, unbearable tragic where as others pay attention to the comfort and promise awaiting them in another, new realm - Nangilima:
"I visited The Erica Institution one day and talked about children and death. A young psychologist declared that he could never read the ending of The Brother Lionheart to any child. It was cruel to let the brothers die twice. I replied: The more one dies, the easier it becomes. He did not seem to take comfort in my answer. When I came home the girl who played Ida in Katthult in the films about Emil telephoned and said: - I just read The Brother Lionheart and want to thank you for the happy end. Children are able to conceive it that way". [xv]
Quite a different stylistic common feature is the use of humour and irony. It is well known that H.C. Andersen applied humour in his fairy tales addressing the child and the adult reader alike. He was fully aware of this himself and often pointed it out. In Astrid Lindgren's case people are always assuming that the humour is addressing children only:
"In all of her books she only gives her child readers the humour they can relate to and delight in. Even her irony is never aimed at adults above the heads of child readers".[xvi]
However, I'd like to question that. In my opinion Lindgren's humour and irony is equally and frequently addressing both children and the adult reader. In Nya hyss av Emil i Lönneberga (1966) it reads:
"[Mrs Petrell, editor.] asked them for lunch at her house at 12 o'clock; she would most definitely be serving both fish pudding and blueberry soup. By 11 o'clock Petrell herself had some filet of veal and a large amount of marzipan cake, since there hardly was any fish pudding. And it would look terrible if she would swallow up almost all of it herself and leave her guests to starve, oh no, that would not do at all!" [xvii]
One thing that binds the two in style is that the humour is always taking sides with the weaker ones or the children. As Anette Oester Steffensen writes:
"At lot is written between the lines in these books and a child would not be able to grasp them all, but the adult reader naturally will, but not at the expense of the child. There are more than one level of comprehensibility, more ways to read and understand the text. The child is never made the laughing stock; it is always the adult who is on the receiving end". [xviii]
Lindgren's ironic account of the snobbish Mrs Petrell's motive for inviting the family from Katthult for lunch is an example. [xix] . There is an equivalent to it in Andersen's account of the master and mistress in" The Gardener and the Noble Family" (1872) and the farmer who cannot endure the sight of sextons in" Little Claus and Big Claus" (1835). [xx] Irony is being used as a part of the alliance between the storyteller and the child often exposing the hidebound and narrow-minded adults.
Quite a few stories circle about longing. Sometimes the longing is aimed at another person who is separated from the main character by death or another seemingly insurmountable obstacle. There is Skorpan (Rusk) Lionheart's longing for his older brother, Jonathan, the mother longing for her dead child in "The Story of a Mother", "The Little Mermaid's" longing for the prince and Bosse/Mio's longing for his father in Mio, My Mio. The longing to be accepted is also present, longing 'to belong to' and find one's home, as we see it in"The Ugly Duckling" [xxi] , Rasmus på luffen [xxii] and Sunnanäng [xxiii] . There is also indefinable longing for 'something different', as in"The Fir Tree" (1844).
The longing represents the lack of something - this is very characteristic for the course of most fairy tales in general. [xxiv] Never the less, longing is present to a much greater extend in every detail of the work of both Andersen and Lindgren than in other fairy tales for children.
"Longing for something is part of a child's universe. The child longs for the one who is gone away, for Christmas, the summer holidays - for growing up. Great poets recall that longing even after having left their childhood behind". [xxv]
In direct continuation of the longing we find the preference to cast the lonely and abandoned child as the key figure. Andersen uses this type of key figure in fairy tales like " The Little Match Girl", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Snow Queen", " The Little Mermaid" and " The Travelling Companion". Lindgren uses it in stories like Mio, My Mio, The Brother Lionheart, Pippi Long Stocking, Rasmus på luffen and Kajsa Kavat [xxvi]:
"Grandma already noticed how brave Kajsa looked even at the age of three months lying there in her basket which was given to grandma one shiny day with a note asking if grandma please would take care of Kajsa, as there was no one else to do it." [xxvii]
Most of the children in these stories get an adult ally, a 'helper' with whom they often form a deep friendship. This goes for Johannes and his travelling companion; "Shall we keep each other company?" "With all my heart!" said Johannes ...", [xxviii] to The Little Match Girl"... old grandma was the only one who had been kind to her..." [xxix] and to Little Ida's student; "... What do they do that for," she asked of the student who sat on the sofa; she liked him very much ..." [xxx], the same goes for the orphan Rasmus and Oscar, the tramp in Rasmus på luffen, [xxxi] and for Emil and Alfred;
"Emil and Alfred swam in the Katthult lake among the white flowers in the cool water; the month was July and the crimson red moon in the sky shined down upon them. -You and me, Alfred, Emil said. -Yes, you and me, Emil, Alfred said. That is so!" [xxxii]
Another related and returning topic in these stories is death and how to overcome it with love. This approach to death is seen in "The Story of a Mother", " The Little Mermaid", The Brothers Lionheart, Mio, My Mio and Emil i Lönneberga (Emil drags the fatally ill Alfred through the blizzard to the doctor in Mariannelund). Death is often delineated as deliverance from the vexations of life on earth: This goes for H.C. Andersen in fairy tales like " The Little Match Girl" and "The Angel" [xxxiii] , and for Astrid Lindgren in stories like Sunnanäng [xxxiv] , Spelar min lind sjunger min näktergal [xxxv] , and "I Skymningslandet" [xxxvi] : In the last-mentioned land of dusk we find a parallel to the land of the dead with a repeated exorcising denial of pain and other earthly vexations and limitations:"Never mind that my leg hurts. 'It does not matter', Liljonkvast said, 'It does not matter in the land of dusk!'".
One may - and many does - wonder why a subject as heavy as death plays such a big role in H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren's literature for children. I shall not dwell on possible interpretations, but only conclude that both writers treat the subject in ways, which both understands, comforts and consoles the child. We see that in both " Little Ida's Flowers", and "The Brothers Lionheart", which both belong to the fantasy genre and share a common approach to death.
"Little Ida's Flowers" was written to Ida Thiele (1835), who was fatally ill as a child and also lost her mother. As Helene Høyrup writes: "Ida's perspective opens the connection between the world of fantasy and the child's frame of mind. Dead flowers become alive, and the child's angle gives new life to objects and (re)creates intimacy and reciprocity with the world". [xxxvii]
Both stories represent an unorthodox religious thematization of death. This unorthodox religiosity is, in general, typical in H.C. Andersen's authorship, but stands out in the case of Astrid Lindgren, who was a self-declared Agnostic. The explanation may at least partly be down to an evident distinction between one's personal belief on one hand, and on the other, a great sympathetic insight into the child's fantasy world and needs:
"Agnosticism and scepticism belong to the adult world in Lindgren's universe. Children need stories they can cling to if they have to confront death, stories that can alleviate their fears and anxiety, and she gave them such stories". [xxxviii]
Sympathetic insight and compassion are key words when it comes to the two Nordic writers. The urge to enrich children and make their lives happier has clearly been a strong motivating force for the literature of Astrid Lindgren as well as of H.C. Andersen.
How The Rebels Were Received
This well-meaning, pleasant trait in both authorships does not mean that their contemporaries viewed them as edifying writers in terms of children. Quite the opposite; yet another common characteristic for the two is the very mixed reception from their contemporary public.
The initial publications for children - Fairy tales, Told for Children and Pippi Long Stocking, were faced with strong criticism - even accused of being demoralizing. There is a connection between the total lack of fear of using fictitious elements in the stories and the fact that both Andersen and Lindgren's earlier main characters (or protagonists) appeared as profound immoral rebels: The soldier in "The Tinder Box" and Pippi do not care about norms when it comes to satisfying their own immediate needs on behalf of others. The soldier chops off the head of the old witch despite their preceding agreement and lavishly spends all the money on luxury. Pippi goes power shopping in both candy and toy stores, and does not restrain herself when it comes to third helpings from the cakes served at an afternoon coffee party; it was the norm to let adults eat before children - seemingly disregarded by Pippi.
In general, we see a conspiracy against the adults and their norms, manners and rules of behaviour. We see it in Pippi Long Stocking as well as in " Little Ida's Flowers" and Lustig-Gök - and in many, many more of the two writer's stories and books where the balance of power between the generations are turned upside down.
"- It is a secret, the cuckoo said. It is a secret only told to children. Big people would never believe it anyway. They think all cuckoos in cuckoo clocks are made of wood. Ha, ha, ha, they are the ones made of wood; this is as true as my name is Lustig-Gök". [xxxix]
"... But the lawyer did not like such jokes, and he would say as he had just said, "How can anyone put such nonsense into a child's head! What absurd fancies there are!"!" But to little Ida, all these stories which the student told her about the flowers, seemed very droll...".[xl]
Both authorships are abundant with characters that bring joy, adventure and rebellion to the Biedermeier ( English Regency style) and middle class lives, which consistently are described as stagnant and dull. In other words: no wonder it caused offence.
H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren revolutionised children's literature in their own day and age; they both strongly rebelled against prevalent norms in terms of form and content. For that reason they both met strong headwind and criticism. On the other hand, both writers experienced honour, recognition and acknowledgement in their own lifetime- in the case of Astrid indeed so, when she received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Writing in 1958 - also known as the " Nobel Prize in Children's Literature".
Looking at Children's Literature From a New Angle
It is beyond doubt that Astrid Lindgren 'knew her Hans Christian Andersen´. The heritage from Andersen is very explicit in her authorship. They both paved the way for entirely new types of children's literature. As Torben Weinreich notes in Information (August 8th 2006):
"H.C. Andersen sparked off an artistic intention in literature for children". Others followed but Astrid Lindgren was the first who entirely followed her own rules using her own unique expression and managed to integrate techniques and themes in universal, timeless art (for children).
Literature for children has been rather neglected. Originally its primary aim was to educate and many have been inclined to think that children's literature neither could nor should live up to the same artistic standards as art for adults. People made disparaging remarks about Hans Christian Andersen writing for children . Many (including himself) have strongly defended that the fairy tales and stories also address adult readers. Astrid Lindgren often encountered the very same criticism:
"Many wondered why Astrid Lindgren devoted herself to writing for children; why did she not write "proper" literature. Her answer was always the same: 'I wish to write to readers who creates miracles. And children do that, when they read". [xli]
Fortunately the perception of children's culture and literature as less valuable and interesting is undergoing a change. Children's culture is now more than ever the subject of independent research, as you can tell from monumental Danish publications such as Torben Weinreich's "The Story About Literature For Children - Danish Literature For Children Throughout 400 Years" (published August 2006) and Beth Juncker's doctoral thesis "About The Process - The Meaning of Aesthetics in Children's Culture" (June 2006).
Both are tokens of recognition and when it comes to art aimed at children, a whole list of aesthetic criteria is at work. Children are competent aesthetics - and as Beth Juncker points out towards in her thesis, this also goes for those books that become classics; they are characterized by using childlike, experimental elements in order to succeed in their aesthetic expression.
Odense and Vimmerby - Childhood Towns
It is only natural to investigate the backgrounds of these authors in which the childlike became so significant and to whom childhood was so essential. We know that in Odense, and they know it in Vimmerby, where more than hundred of thousands of visitors each year visit the amusement park Astrid Lindgrens Värld, where also the museum Astrid Lindgren Gården was located until recently.
The actual childhood home is near the park, in the area where the former vicarage Näs is located - later on in her old age Lindgren reconstructed it with original objects; it now appears almost like when she was eleven years old. The childhood home is still in the family's possession, however not accessible to the general public. The former vicarage has established a research centre: Astrid Lindgrens Näs. The new museum, the new Astrid Lindgren Gården opened May 1st 2007. The designer of the exhibitions Håkan Qvist has pointed out that the new exhibitions "bring out the humour in Astrid". [xlii]
It will be exciting and interesting to follow the development of Näs in the years to come. The management of this heritage naturally involves great responsibility. Odense and Vimmerby have been discussing to which extent it is possible to maintain the natural environment surrounding the childhood homes. A lot is at stake, as it is not possible to recreate the original environment.
The work of writers is naturally open to continuous research, when the main parts of the original manuscripts are preserved. A thorough analysis could seek to answer the question: what are the many common denominators in their authorships down to: Is it a cultural context or typical of the Nordic countries? Did H.C. Andersen and Astrid Lindgren have anything besides the 'intact childlikeness' as a common, underlying motif for their work? Or is something entirely different going on?
I hope this article has suggested which perspectives a comparative analysis may be open to both in relation to general artistic qualities in children's literature and in terms of a better understanding of the two authorships. A comparison will open new aspects in both authorships, which otherwise could have been less obvious.
[i] Cf. e-mail from the Lindgren expert Lena Törnqvist (Kungliga Biblioteket, Stockholm): Regarding Astrid Lindgren's translations it is a question of definition - what is a language? Some weeks ago I heard this definition "A language is a dialect with an army", quite horrid but thought-provoking. That is not the way we have counted when we state that Astrid Lindgren has been translated to more than 90 languages (93 I think is the latest number). We count Moldavian as a separate language, not a Romanian dialect, Serbian and Croatian separately as well as Bokmål and Nynorsk. Likewise, not all the languages are published in print; Latin i.e. is just the first chapter of Ronja Röverdotter which a student translated as part of a paper, etc. I found one just the other day and that was Interlingua, an artificial language that I have not heard of before. But it was in published form. There is not one of her works that has been translated to all of these languages. Pippi is the most widespread literary figure, she exists in appr. 65 languages according to my informations, sometimes just in the format of picturebook.

He was a good man. He possessed rare qualities, that were desirable to all women, and ones which she had sought after for so many years. He was clearly a man destined for great things, who attributed his successes to the Lord. And she saw that, indeed, he was a good man. But he was also a taken man.
After their first encounter, which she had rehearsed over and over in her mind, as she convinced herself that he was her soul mate, she became obsessed with thoughts of what might have been if she had met him first. She knew that she should let him go, and look for someone she could call her own. But her will was weak, and she frequently sought to be in his presence, and showered him with affection.
Because he was a sincere man, he treated her with respect and honour. However, even though he knew she too was an attractive woman, he was not a cautious man. He failed to see her attempts to seduce, and allowed himself to be flattered by her flirtatious advances. His pride was touched, and he was pleased to be desired again, in a way that he had not felt in a while with his beloved wife. He did not see that he could fall, convinced, as he was, of his own strength and sincerity.
It started with casual telephone calls, then 'work-related' meetings at lunch time. She was his friend, at least that was what he told himself, and there was no harm in enjoying the company of another woman. At first, he mentioned these 'meetings' to his wife, until he realised how much he desired the meetings. Then he decided that there was absolutely no need to disclose everything he did in a day to his wife. He had to work, and she understood.
All this time, his new colleague was encouraged by the possibility that she had not missed her opportunity after all. Was he not choosing to spend his time with her, and showing so much delight in her? Her dreams of happily ever after were awakened again, and she decided that he was very much available to her. She believed that the man she desired, was the man she would receive. She did not know that the good man she first saw was undergoing a transformation.
From their first kiss, which they both admitted was wrong, and promised would never repeat itself, the good man was changed forever. The once faithful and considerate husband was now a cheat and a liar, corrupted by his lust and pride. He was a double-minded man, who loved his wife, but could not keep away from his temptation. He became an unstable man, as he wrestled with his conscience over his infidelity. He was plagued by his desire for the other woman, until he had not only sampled her goods, but devoured her. The seed had been sown… And it was going to bear its fruit – death.
The wicked woman, as she will be known, did not see that she had lost. She had not gained the man she sought, neither did she keep the man that was created by her envy. All she had succeeded to do was to turn a good man away from his wife, and bring their holy bond into compromise. Even as she saw her wickedness, she did not relent, deceived as she was. Deluded, she believed that the man would still come back to her, after she succeeded in breaking up his matrimonial home.
But when he came to his senses, how he hated her! He knew he had fallen from a great height, and that he was also to blame, but he loathed the sight of her. Though he tried to keep his wife from finding out, the wicked woman played her evil hand and confronted his wife. That was when the nightmare began for all three of them. It was also then that the wicked woman knew that she was, in fact, wicked! When she saw that she was no longer desired, but hated, and that the angel she once admired from a distance, was actually just a flawed man, she came to her senses – albeit much too late.
Torn by this assault on her marriage, the wife had to make a decision. One she had prayed against for many years. While he waited to know his fate, the cheat was in torment at the thought of losing his beloved. The wicked woman stood alone, in greater misery than she had known before.
How deceitful is envy, to desire what is not yours. Ladies, be warned! If it is not yours, you cannot keep it – at least, not in the way that it existed before you forceably made it yours! Gentlemen, be advised! Protect what you cherish. The devil will not ask your permission to invade, but if you are careless, you might as well send him an invitation…

Poor guy. He could have availed himself if either of two options:
1. He could've trained himself on how to keep a side chick… successfully.
2. He could've just taken her for a second wife.March 20, 2017

message well passed. only the wise will adhere.
thanks.March 20, 2017
Lovely message. I am a little concerned though that the man was painted as a good man who lost his was and his concubine was the wicked woman. He didn't seem to have taken true responsibility for his action choosing to blame and resent the other woman instead of owning up to his own screw up.
Society need to start holding the party that recited the vows more responsible than those that did not.March 20, 2017
Hi Larz,
I appreciate your criticism. The man was clearly at fault, but the woman came after him, and so she was more at fault. This is not the case of a man looking to cheat, but a man who made himself vulnerable by not being on his guard and protecting what he cherishes.
As a woman, I have no intention of painting women as the wicked party. I know what happens, and than many men go out to cheat. This is not the case in this story. The lessons I am sharing here are obvious. I am addressing both the women who chase after married men and married men who make themselves vulnerable by not being watchful and setting boundaries in their relationships with other women.
I think anyone can see from reading the story that the man was no angel…except in the eyes of the woman who sought him, until she discovered that he was just a man…and in fact had shown himself to be a rather weak one. There's no need to make everything about men vs women and blame. Let's take the lessons that apply to all of us.
Sincerely, Ufuoma.March 28, 2017
I agree with the point of this message. This wasn't man vs woman issue because of the story line but because of the words used to describe the man and the woman in this story. This is a sad reflection of our society.
For example, I know of an elderly man (who has retired) who left his wife and kids to another woman younger than his eldest daughter. Everyone is saying the new younger woman has charmed him. But no one seems to remember they fact that when he also has several kids from another woman when he was younger (who sadly has passsed away now). So with all the evidence of his indiscretions (past and present), why is the new squeeze the wicked woman.
We tend to have an unconscious bias that we really need to own up to. It is in the story we tell, the lessons we teach our children etc. When a woman cheats in Nigeria, it is her fault and an abomination but when a man cheats it is his lovers fault no matter how many times he does itMarch 28, 2017
I think you actually contradicted yourself, and missed the point of my story, and are still pushing your own bias on what it is I'm actually saying. You say it isn't a man vs woman issue, yet your conclusion shows that that is exactly what you believe; that there is a bias in society and that is it evident in my story. Yes, there is a bias in society and no, it is not evident in my story.
Your case study of a man who was previously a philanderer, who decides to marry another woman, has NOTHING on my story or my message. Every situation has its own issues and merits. Let's stick to this one, when trying to understand what I am saying.
In this particular story, the woman was wicked, because she chased after a married man. And the man was foolish for not fleeing temptation. Those two messages were communicated clearly.
In any case that anybody (male or female) goes after a married person (male or female) that chaser is WICKED. And in any case that the married person falls for temptation, that person is FOOLISH. And in any case that a married person goes out to have an affair, they are both WICKED and FOOLISH. This is NOT a man vs woman message
Sincerely, Ufuoma.March 28, 2017
I seem to have offended you here in voicing my opinion. I apologise if this seems like a personal bias to you because it is not. I am responding to your write up where you referred to the woman as wicked and to the man as making a mistake. I have gone back to read your story and nowhere did you refer to the man as foolish. There is a chance you intended to but forgot or feel it is implied (which i didn't get). Either way, I have picked up your story as is and responded to it the way I kno bst.
The example I gave above about the man who left is wife was showing an everyday Lagos example where even if the man is clearly at fault, the blame is still laid on the other woman or even worst the woman he cheated on. I felt it was relevant as it was another example of a cheating woman. But we can agree to disagree. If you prefer I don't comment on your post anymore please do so say or if my method is what you dislike, i am happy to seek feedback.
LarzMarch 28, 2017
Hi Larz,
No, I won't prefer that you don't comment on my posts anymore. Like I said in my first response, I appreciate your critique. But I don't have to agree with it, and I think we can both appreciate that.
My problem with your critique is that it takes away from the message I am passing across. Other people read the story and carried away the lessons I was sharing, and your critique poked holes in it, by trying to say that I was implying something I wasn't, because it is a problem in society.
I have agreed with you that it is a problem in society, that there is a bias and women are often blamed…but not in my post! If you are coming in defense of this woman being called "wicked", perhaps you don't know what wickedness is. For a moment, forget what is written about the man, and consider the woman. She knew he was married, she went after him anyway. When he dumped her, she still confronted his wife! Is she wicked or not?
Now, let's look at the guy. He is busy minding his own business being a good guy to his wife. He doesn't cheat, he doesn't chase women…and then this woman comes, and he is flattered by her attention. And he isn't smart enough to know that he could be at risk, until it is too late, and he is giving in to temptation. Because I didn't call him "foolish" specifically, doesn't mean that I didn't expose his foolishness! I exposed it. And he is referred to as a cheat and a liar! Do you want me to call him wicked too, to make it even?
In this scenario, no, the man wasn't wicked! The Bible says that "the RIGHTEOUS will fall down seven times and rise again" (Prov 24:16). This was a good man who fell…never mind what normally happens in society. My story is addressed to the good men, to encourage them to guard their homes. I am not writing to the philanderers who habitually cheat on their wives! Even though he is not wicked, he was foolish. If he continued in his sin, he would have been wicked, but he came to his senses, and yes, he was rightly angry at the woman who tempted him.
Get this, Jesus said that "It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but WOE to the one through whom they come!" (John 17:1). That tells us that those who seek to break up marriages are worse than those who fall for their temptation! Whether they be male or female. The marriage can be repaired, and it is up to the wife (in this case) to decide if she can forgive.
Please make sure your comments actually reflect the message being communicated, and doesn't take us away from appreciating what is being said. That is what I found offensive about your comment. It wasn't constructive but destructive.
Sincerely, Ufuoma.March 28, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. I will endeavour to incorporate it into my comments going forwardMarch 28, 2017

Bringing a movie about a guy who doesn't know he is on TV to actual TV? Why didn't humanity think of this sooner!
A year after Paramount relaunched its television division, the studio announced that a variety of projects are in the works, including "The Truman Show." The 1998 movie stars Jim Carrey as a man who discovers his whole life is actually a TV show. The film was a hit at the box office and taught us how to use the soap to draw an astronaut's helmet around ourselves as we look in the mirror. What else are you going to use soap for, right?
Other projects that may soon come to the silver screen include the films "Narc," "Terminator" and "Ghost."
Paramount Executive Amy Powell told The Wrap, "We have three buckets of content we're looking at, and one of them is intellectual property the studio, which has been around for over 100 years, owns."
Details on the "Truman Show" TV series have not yet been released, but stay tuned for updates.
Until then, good afternoon, good evening and good night!

Glacier Loss in Tien Shan
Populations in Central Asia are heavily dependent on snow and glacier melt for their water supplies. Changes to the glaciers in the main mountain range in this region, the Tien Shan, have been reported over the past decade. However, reconstructions over longer, multi-decadal timescales and the mechanisms underlying these variations—both required for reliable future projections—are not well constrained.
Check out the rest of the article here.
Breweries Support Glacier Research
A British Columbia scientist is hoping to use a few cold ones to get the public thinking about really big cold ones – glaciers. Brian Menounos, a glaciologist with the University of Northern British Columbia, has teamed up with Kokanee beer for a project that will result in a better understanding of what's happening to western glaciers as well as a special batch of suds.
Read more about the story here.
Glacier Plants and Insects
There is a growing interest in understanding the relationship between the structure and dynamics of ecological networks. Ecological network changes along primary successions are poorly known: to address such topic, gradient of primary succession on glacier forelands is an ideal model, as sites of different age since deglaciation stand for different ecosystem developmental stages.

Some programming languages excel at turning coders into clockwork oranges. By enforcing rigid rules about how software must be structured and implemented, it is possible to prevent a developer from doing anything dangerous. However, this comes at a high cost, stifling the essential creativity and passion that separates the masterful coder from the mediocre. Thankfully, Ruby is about as far from this bleak reality as you can possibly imagine.

When I had a chance to use the Mosaic web browser way back in 1994, I fell in love with the web at first sight and became interested in HTML and the way the W3C was driving the growth of the web along with the IETF. A year later, I discovered Java by reading Sun's white paper and was convinced that it would lead to a great future. I started using it professionally to write a web load-testing tool using CORBA and an HTTP proxy.

The pervasiveness and ubiquity of the Web stems from the way it combines architectural simplicity with a small set of widely accepted technologies.

Revised 4/3/13- Here is a report that clerics have authorized the rape of non-Sunni females as a part of the war effort. Note that the writer conspicuously leaves out Christians as approved victims. These are only briefly included in a quote of a Kuwaiti women who had called to reestablish sex slavery.*You see, rapes and murders of Christians are not mentioned by most Western writers. Reporting on such insignificant issues only incurs the wrath of those who follow the religion of peace.
Hat tip to Gates of Vienna.
One that wants to know what is happening has to avoid the Mainstream Media at all costs. The Media, like Obama and Romney, tell us that Assad needs to go. As we were assured about Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, and Libya, all will be fine once the autocrats were driven out.
The link at top has an embedded video clip in which the plight of the girls and women of one refugee camp in Jordan is made painfully clear. The girls are targeted for abduction and rape, forced prostitution, and "convenience marriages " that consist of a girl or young woman being used for a few weeks and then divorced. Aside from a few brave young men who have taken it upon themselves to protect their women and girls, the only authority figure that should any indignation at what is occurring was the leader of the Mosque of the camp. He describes 60 year-old man from Saudi Arabia (Some come from from other wealthy Gulf states) asking for help in finding a 13 year-old girl for marriage.
The females can't even use the common toilet at night for fear of being assaulted or abducted by the animals who have descended like jackals on the camp. Many of these look specifically for families that have no men or dress as women in order to make approaching their victims an easier task.
I generally avoid videos as I am impatient and would rather read text, but this video should be seen.

The intention of this blog is to share my knowledge of the Delaware Valley as experienced by me, up close, through thoughtful photography and first hand knowledge of the area.
As a wife, mother, local realtor, outdoor enthusiast and photographer, I am always discovering new places or seeing old places through new eyes. I love this area and all it has to offer.
Since this is my first post, I'm going to start of simply by posting a picture of some ruins my son and I discovered while hiking on the Pink Trail in Tyler Arboretum in Media, PA. This trail starts at the arboretum and crosses Painter Road. It's not a long hike, but it is hilly! A nice reward for kids is finding this neat stone structure that makes the perfect hideout! Be sure to take water and a snack so it doesn't become more strenuous than fun.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
~Joseph Addison~
I called a local company the other day to make an appointment… The woman that answered had a smile on her face… even over the phone, I could just tell.
She made me smile by not only her friendly tone, and "hearing her smile, it was the pattern, that included "Thanks for calling 'X'. This is Linda, how can I make you smile today?"
Those real, authentic, natural smiles are infectious, whether you see them or not…
Remember, it's often the smallest of things that change the rest of someone's day. Make it a habit to smile.
Did you know that smiling alters not only the brain chemistry to those who receive our smile, but us–the smile-sender too? Imagine what can happen the next time you choose to smile? I think we could all use a little extra happiness these days. With cell phones, texting, social networking, email, and more, many of us don't interact face-to-face much anymore, so how do you "virtually" smile?
It's easy if you are on the phone – smile. A real smile changes the shape of your face and throat which in turn changes the voice… The easiest way to know if it's a true smile — are your eyes crinkling? Crinkly eyes = true smile. No crinkles? Phony (or too much botox.)
To send smiles online takes a little light-heartedness. Write notes to others with a little twinkle. Having trouble writing with a twinkle? Move. Go get some fresh air. Change your perspective, write from a different location or just move some things in your office. grab your favorite tea, even try decluttering. Oftentimes changing your location or perspective changes how you sound and feel. Give it a try and let me know what you find… how did you make others smile today?
Have a great day whatever your adventure!
To Success! To Life!

Setup Hosting Accounts automatically on different servers
For automatically setting up new Hosting Accounts the system requires
nominating 1 server to be the default server for new Accounts.
I would like the ability to be able to have a separate default server
for certain hosting packages or groups of hosting packages.
For example for my web hosting clients I like to have new Hosting Accounts
setup on a server with Solid State Drives.
For my clients who have chosen an Email only Hosting package I would
like to have their new Accounts setup automatically on a different server,
one with large capacity normal hard drives.
Although I have already selected a different server for Email only Hosting packages
the setup of new Accounts on that separate server does not happen automatically.
Thanks for your suggestion. The desired setup can be achieved by way of Server Groups: https://docs.whmcs.com/Servers#Server_Groups
Create one server group for your SSD servers, a second for your email servers. Then select the appropriate server group under the product's Module Settings tab.

It does one very simple thing: adds a hotkey that opens Alfred and types in: "open ".
So you can easily open any folder on your computer by just hitting the hotkey and typing the name of the folder you want to open.
Plain and simple.
You can download it here:

This section of works from Ashli's collaboration with several conservation organizations she worked with in 2015: the National Audubon Society, the International Rhino Foundation, the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary of Indonesia, and the Elephant Nature Park of Thailand.
These are all a product of Ashli Sisk's ruminations on the complex and sometimes disparate feelings and motivations surrounding climate change. This work is combination of Ashli's most optimistic feelings about the future of the humans, conflicting with too many examples of hubris dooming entire ecosystems across the planet. Pollinators canoodle around the bouquets, omens of multi-species cooperation for a better future, while we fritter the world's resources away, thinking there is plenty of time to stop. We fly rhinos to other rhinos in hopes to help them save themselves. This work is about the human experience of watching ecosystems fall apart in our hands, and the struggle to save them.
In cooperation from several countries and organizations, the Cincinnati Zoo prepares to ship Harapan, one of the last 100 Sumatran Rhinoceros on the planet, from the United States back to Sumatra, where he can breed with other Sumatran Rhinos. Though the rain forests and wild spaces are dwindling in Sumatra due to illegal burning of forests for farm land to produce coffee and palm oil, the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary is an example of native people and western experts coming together to create a positive shift in a population.
The art of still-life painting has long been coded with notions of human mortality, value and gender. The flower market of the modern world is a globalized industry and exchanges flights of tons of flowers into the US to satisfy the demand. The flower market represents the very best of human innovation to preserve and appreciate flower species, and the use of GMOs to satisfy our eyes and noses. Our drive for flowers and our innovations around them demonstrate our potential to eventually navigate some solutions to species loss and climate change during this 6th extinction event.

UPDATE: We received a reply back from a representative at GMC confirming that the new Yukon will be revealed on January 14. The text has been updated to reflect this.
General Motors is renewing its body-on-frame SUVs, and GMC's Yukon is next in line to receive a full makeover. It's scheduled to break cover on January 14 alongside the long-wheelbase Yukon XL.
It's reasonable to assume we would have gotten our first glimpse at the next Yukon during the 2020 Detroit Auto Show had the event not moved to June. The new date is too close to the model's on-sale date, so GMC will unveil it during a standalone event held in Vail, Colorado, according to GM Authority. We reached out to GMC, and a representative confirmed that is indeed the reveal date for the full-size SUV.
Spy shots suggest stylists took GMC's two biggest SUVs in a sharper, bolder direction. Both models share the same front end, which borrows styling cues like C-shaped headlights from the Sierra pickup. Brand-specific rear lights help the Yukon models stand out from their Chevrolet-badged siblings, the Tahoe and the Suburban, which hasn't always been the case. The standard Yukon and the Yukon XL will each grow in size, though there's no indication GMC's naming structure will change to reflect that; Yukon XXL admittedly doesn't have much of a ring to it.
While we haven't seen the interior yet, we expect it's getting a generous serving of technology, including a new, touchscreen-based infotainment system. The larger exterior dimensions will clear up more space for people and gear, so average-sized adults will be able to fit in the third-row seats. The range-topping Denali variants of both models will return to satisfy those who crave sumptuousness.
The sheet metal will hide much of the same hardware found under the Tahoe/Suburban duo, including an independent rear suspension added in the name of comfort and handling. Powertrain specifications should carry over, too, meaning the entry-level engine will be a 5.3-liter V8 rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The list of options will include a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower on tap, and we're betting the straight-six turbodiesel available on the Bowtie-badged SUVs will also be offered at an extra cost. Rear-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission will come standard, and buyers will be able to pay extra for four-wheel drive.
The next GMC Yukon and Yukon XL will go on sale halfway through 2020 as 2021 models. Cadillac will complete the trio of body-on-frame SUVs when it introduces the next-generation Escalade in Beverly Hills on February 4, 2020. The model will get a star-studded debut in one of America's wealthiest zip codes, and it will play a key role in the 2020 edition of the Academy Awards.

We may not be in school anymore, but like our younger selves, I think a lot of us still see summer as the time for adventure. Sadly, there are now only about 33 days left in the summer of 2018, but luckily there are hundreds of micro-adventurous ways to make these waning summer days count. Here are just a few you might try:
1. Hike – This is an obvious one, but so few people take advantage of all the trails around them. Hiking is the classic micro-adventure, and it will make you stronger and more capable while also bringing you face to face with the natural environment in your area of the world. Great trails are just a Google away.
2. Do yoga outdoors – You haven't done yoga until you've done it in a big open grassy field with hundreds of people. My city of Atlanta has King of Pops yoga, but you can probably find free outdoor yoga in your area hosted by a local studio and/or sponsored by a yoga or outdoor brand.
3. Visit another faith/denomination – Go to visit a church, a synagogue, a mosque. Or go talk to some atheists! Religious and philosophical exploration and exposure can be uncomfortable, but they yield some of the best adventures.
4. Run a 5K – It's wonderful to have something to train for, and a 5K is dead simple. Running is free, you can do it almost anywhere, and it will make you feel great. 5Ks themselves cost some money, but they're great ways to meet people and have fun while pushing your body on to greatness.
5. Go dancing – Inexpensive dancing opportunities abound in cities, from swing and blues dancing (check to see if there are local dance associations) to salsa and club dancing.
6. Host a movie night – Sometimes adventures don't have to go too far from home. Movie nights are a perfect opportunity to develop your food skills, your hosting skills, your interior decorating skills, and your taste in film. Use movie nights as opportunities to bring interesting people together, and don't let an opportunity for good post-film conversation pass you by.
7. Try a new food experience – I recommend Korean BBQ. But check around your area: you might have Ethiopian food, Indian food, Vietnamese food, or French food close by.
8. Explore a library – If you love books, there's nothing more rapturous than plunging into rows and stacks of them. Shun the public library and go instead to a local university library or a specialty private library. Worst case? Barnes and Noble is a great place to spend summer nights.
9. Walk (or run) on a beach or waterfront – Beaches and waterfronts are wonderful places for meditative walks or runs, or for deep conversations with walking partners. Go at night if you can, see the stars clearly, and look out to the horizon (if you happen to be on the ocean) to ponder the world's bigness.
10. Go busking (or try karaoke!) – Play an instrument? Try performing on the street or in another (legal) public space with some foot traffic. If you're shy, go at a quieter hour. If you'd rather only show your vocal skills to friends, try some low-pressure karaoke, either at a karaoke bar or in the comfort of your own home (all you need are YouTube karaoke tracks and some voice amplification).

Review - Supernatural 10x08 "Hibbing 911" - Sheriffs Doing It For Themselves
True confession time: I harbour an epic girl crush on Kim Rhodes. She's amazeballs. I've had the pleasure of seeing her at a few conventions as well as getting the chance to talk to her about life, loss and all things in between when she was in Australia a couple of years back.
3 comments:
I loved this episode. I love these ladies so much. Kim Rhodes is an awesome actress and a fabulous lady. I loved how she was so open when we met her that time in Melbourne, and the other times I've met her too. Kim and Brianna played off each other beautifully.ReplyDelete
The only thing that would have added more to this episode is for the boys to have maybe made a reference to the last time they were in Hibbing, Minnesota and dealt with the Benders. Though I can only imagine they's want to block that particular time out of their memories.
Another good MOTW episode, dealing with vampires. I've heard it said "Vampires, again?" but think that out of all the monsters there are, vampires would have to be the most believably prolific. They have the ability to integrate among regular people and mask their feeding habits, even resorting to animal or bagged blood to survive in plain sight. So, yeah, I can get on board with more vampires.
I love where the brothers are in their relationship right now. They are dealing with the MoC together, even if Dean is probably not being entirely truthful about how it's still affecting him. I can see he doesn't want to worry Sam any more than necessary. I love the light that is back in Sam's eyes when he and Dean talk.
I love the relationship that Sam has with Jody. She cares for both boys, but there seems to be that extra layer with her and Sam. I think it's because of the way they bonded when Dean disappeared with Chronos that time, the way she "mom'd" him. He'd never had that from anyone before and I think Sam liked it.
So, one more episode that will leave our hearts in tatters over the Christmas break. I remain unspoiled, not even watching the promo, but given past experience I know it'll be another rough ride.
Thank you for yet again another wonderful recap and review. I also loved this episode. I loved Donna from the Purge and her bond with Jodie was so perfect in it's progression. I will always love Jenny Klein for "Batman and Superman" and now we have "your pretend job" and my absolute favorite, Puppy dog eyes from Dean. I am also loving this season. I really loved S8 and 9 but there is such a nice understated tone to this season. I kind of get the feeling we are being set up but right now I am enjoying the calm before the gut wrenching why the hell is Dean looking like that episode that is going to leave us in shambles.....ReplyDelete
Great review and a fabulous episode. I loved all of it. Now Creation needs to get these two ladies to some cons. Especially Minneapolis. I have tickets and I would sooo buy a photo op with the two of them. I mean why wouldn't they want Donna coming to her home state and Jody is right next door. It would be the best place for them to come so the 'locals' could get photo ops. Maybe some real Minnesota or SD law enforcement would even show up for a photo. Ha..Jody is from MY home town. I'm dying to have a photo op with Kim and bring her some genuine Sioux Falls sheriff stuff. It's actually a county sheriff, but oh well. I can get fake tattoos for her from the jail. Ha. The ones they give kids at school talks. She'd get a laugh out of that I bet. Sorry, I got distracted.ReplyDelete
Yes, love S10. Such a great feel. But that preview shocked me a bit out of my bliss. Thanks again Amy

Personal profiles are the ideal way for you to grab a recruiter's attention and persuade them to continue reading your resume. This small paragraph sits directly at the top of your document, concisely and effectively displaying who you are, your skills and strengths relevant to the sector or job role, and your career goals.
The vital thing to remember when writing your personal statement is to keep it around four sentences in length. As with your cover letter, If your opening statement is too broad, you'll give the impression that you haven't done your research.
When drafting your personal statement split it into three sections: who you are, what you can offer the company, and your career goals.
Get straight to the point and provide evidence of your skills and experience, but be brief! Offer just enough information to hook the reader.
Market yourself and make the statement look purposeful, show the recruiter you know what you're talking about.
Be personable! Recruiters ultimately want to know you as a person and what you can bring to the table and always proofread for spelling and grammar. Mistakes are an instant turnoff.
For more information on our professional profile writing services visit our website. Our professional writers are always on hand to assist with your application.
What personal information should you include and exclude from your CV or resume and why?
The standard inclusions are pretty straight forward so they don't need much explaining. Include your full name, your direct phone number, your email address, a link to your LinkedIn profile and the city in which you live or are planning to work in if you are relocating. You don't need to enter your full address, this is a privacy concern and nobody has physically posted employment acceptance or rejections letters within the last ten years.
The equality act has made it no longer necessary to include your date of birth, race, marital status, sexual orientation or nationality. To ensure you don't fall victim to discrimination don't include these in your resume, they are not required. Also, don't include your visa status, this will show that you are foreign and this is the leading area of discrimination candidates face.
If you hold a specialist driving license relevant to the position, show this on your resume. However, if you're a seasoned professional, and driving isn't an aspect of the position, don't include your license information, this isn't relevant.
For more information on our resume writing service visit the services page of our website. Our professional writers are always on hand to assist with your application.
Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

The new facility, on Eardisley Road, opposite the health centre opens to the public on Saturday 9 April 2016 and means residents will no longer have to travel to the site in Leominster.

Councillor Harry Bramer, cabinet member contracts and assets at Herefordshire Council, said:
"I'm really pleased we are able to offer this facility to the residents of Kington. It is a long awaited asset and finally completes our excellent network of Household Recycling Centres in every market town and the city of Hereford."

Did you know that the term 'arts and crafts' was coined as late as the closing years of the nineteenth century? There are many reasons that motivated this terminology. One of those motivations was as a counter to the dramatic evolutions of the First Industrial Revolution. While many more products were being built by steam-powered machines, there were still those talismanic folks struggling to keep up with the pace of change.
These were the folks who had been making so many nice things by hand. The list is long. Anything from dyed in the wool fabrics to ceramic pottery and you have got the picture. Today, it is now the turn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. By now most readers here need very little introduction to this. And thankfully, there are still those lovely artisans and artists who are still crafting beautiful looking objects for practical everyday use.
But to keep up with the pace of this latest revolution is hard going. One thing that could be said about 4IR is that it is driving more and more people away from the weekend arts and crafts market. What a poor pity this is. Talented men and women seem to be losing out. And customers do not know what they are missing. But it turns out that the 21st century paradigms have become something of a blessing in disguise.
Yes, you are so right. Not being able to get to the Sunday morning market on time, you can now go direct to the online craft store and browse for something that you might need and tickles your fancy. Here you will be able to buy your functional fabrics for every single room of the house, as well as your patio space.
