"Thousands of demonstrators converged opposite the White House on Saturday to call for an end to Israeli military action in Gaza, while children joined a pro-Palestinian march through central London as part of a global day of action against the longest and deadliest war between Israel and Palestinians in 75 years.
People in the U.S. capital held aloft signs questioning President Joe Biden’s viability as a presidential candidate because of his staunch support for Israel in the nearly 100-day war against Hamas. Some of the signs read: “No votes for Genocide Joe,” “Biden has blood on his hands” and “Let Gaza live.”
Vendors were also selling South African flags as protesters chanted slogans in support of the country whose accusations of genocide against Israel prompted the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Netherlands, to take up the case...
The plight of children in the Gaza Strip was the focus of the latest London march, symbolized by the appearance of Little Amal, a 3.5-meter (11.5-foot) puppet originally meant to highlight the suffering of Syrian refugees.
The puppet had become a human rights emblem during an 8,000-kilometer (4,970-mile) journey from the Turkish-Syrian border to Manchester in July 2001.
Nearly two-thirds of the 23,843 people killed during Israel’s campaign in Gaza have been women and children, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory...
“On Saturday Amal walks for those most vulnerable and for their bravery and resilience,“ said Amir Nizar Zuabi, artistic director of The Walk Productions. “Amal is a child and a refugee and today in Gaza childhood is under attack, with an unfathomable number of children killed. Childhood itself is being targeted. That’s why we walk.”
London’s Metropolitan Police force said some 1,700 officers would be on duty for the march, including many from outside the capital...
The London march was one of several others being held in European cities including Paris, Rome, Milan and Dublin, where thousands also marched along the Irish capital’s main thoroughfare to protest Israel’s military operations in the Palestinian enclave.
Protesters waved Palestinian flags, held placards critical of the Irish, U.S. and Israeli governments and chanted, “Free, free Palestine.″
In Rome, hundreds of demonstrators descended on a boulevard near the famous Colosseum, with some carrying signs reading, “Stop Genocide.”
At one point during the protest, amid the din of sound effects mimicking exploding bombs, a number of demonstrators lied down in the street and pulled white sheets over themselves as if they were corpses, while others knelt beside them, their palms daubed in red paint.
Many hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Paris’ Republic square to set off on a march calling for an immediate cease-fire, an end to the war, a lifting of the blockade on Gaza and to impose sanctions on Israel. Marching protesters waved the Palestinian flag and held aloft placards and banners reading, “From Gaza to Paris. Resistance.”"

So very tempting to catch another live show at some point in the next few months when so many of them are on Saturdays (three shows coming up at Underbelly Boulevard!)
Potentially the only way I can be stopped is if they plan another Manchester show.
#shoot from the hip#might go in march...that seems sensible after one in september and one in november#no wait...maybe not if i'm probably going to be going to london for work in march#don't want to go twice in one month#maybe feb...

On 31st August 1874 The Aberdeen Tramway Company horse-drawn tramway started operating.
Initially the system opened for public traffic with seven tram cars operated by 56 horses, the trams were first built by Starbuck Car and Wagon Company of Birkenhead, but from 1883 the company turned to a local manufacturer, R & J Shinnie of Union Row, Aberdeen, who provided subsequent tramcars.
The first routes opened from North Church to Queen’s Cross and from St Nicholas to Causewayend, and extended to Mannofield in 1880, their aggregate cost of construction being £18,791, whilst, in the year ending June 1879, the passengers numbered 957,115, and the receipts amounted to £5080, at a running cost of £3959.
Aberdeen Corporation took over the company on 26th August 1898 and formed the Aberdeen Corporation Tramways the country’s most northerly municipal tramway.
Horse drawn trams were soon replaced by electric ones, the first electricity generating station in Aberdeen opened in 1894. The first electric trams ran in Aberdeen in 1899, using the standard trolley poles until 1935 when bow collectors were fitted to take power from the overhead wires; the trams were double deck and painted in a dark green and cream livery, often with the words Corporation Transport painted prominently on the sides.
In the late 1930s the city purchased 18 trams from Nottingham Corporation Tramways, which closed in 1936. Further secondhand trams were later obtained from Manchester; the last new trams for the city were built by R Y Pickering of Wishaw in 1949.
The city’s best known service was route 1, from Bridge of Don to Brdge of Dee the numbering of which is preserved by the current number 1 bus service serving the same areas; the city’s last tram operated on 3 May 1958, being replaced by diesel buses.
A short stretch of track that served as a terminus for the Sea Beach route remains alongside the Beach Boulevard where, following their final day in service, the entire fleet was burned; this remainder formerly ran right across to the former Constitution Street depot now the Science Centre, however the western end is now occupied by a hotel.

Florence Price, an accomplished pianist, composer, organist, and music educator, holds the distinction of being the first African-American woman to have a large national symphony orchestra perform one of her symphonic compositions. Her exceptional accomplishments under the oppressive "Jim Crow" era are a tribute to her tremendous talents and tenacity. Florence Price Florence Beatrice Price (April 9, 1887 – June 3, 1953) a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, is credited with being the first African-American woman to have her orchestral composition Symphony in E Minor performed by a significant American orchestra in 1933. Frederick Stock and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed this work. Florence Price was born in Little Rock. Price's early career was as an educator based in the South, first at two schools in Little Rock after earning two artist diplomas at the New England Conservatory, where she began her studies at the age of 16. Later, she served as the head of the music department at Clark University in Atlanta until 1912 after completing her studies there. Florence relocated to Atlanta, Georgia in 1910 after returning to Arkansas for a brief period of time to teach. There, at the historically black college that is now Clark Atlanta University, she rose to become the department's head of music. She was married to lawyer Thomas J. Price in 1912. She resigned from her job as a teacher and relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he had a medical practice and two kids. In the already racialized community, she was unable to get employment. Florence Price, a member of the Chicago Black Renaissance, started a brand-new and fruitful chapter in her career as a composer there. Arthur Olaf Andersen, Carl Busch, Wesley La Violette, and Leo Sowerby were some of the top instructors in the city where she studied composition, orchestration, and organ. In 1928, she published four piano compositions. Price attended the Chicago Musical College, Chicago Teacher's College, University of Chicago, and American Conservatory of Music while living in the city, where he also studied music and other liberal arts and languages. In the Wanamaker music competition in 1932, her piano sonata in E minor took home first place, while her first symphony took home top honors. Frederick Stock, the conductor of the Chicago Symphony, became to like her music and scheduled the piece. After the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed Price's composition in 1933, she became the first African-American woman to have a major American orchestra perform her work. Despite the fact that she produced hundreds of works, her discography did not become part of the mainstream canon of the twentieth century. Many of her compositions, such as two violin concertos, may have been lost if they had not been discovered during the reconstruction of her abandoned home. In addition to composing, Price continued to perform as a pianist, organist, and teacher. He also published a number of effective educational pieces. She was hired by John Barbirolli in 1951 to write an overture, and she was scheduled to go to Manchester for the premiere but had to postpone it because of a hospital stay. She was scheduled to return to Europe in May 1953 to accept an award in Paris, but her health once more got in the way, and she passed away at St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago the following month. In her honor, the Florence B. Price Elementary School (also known as Price Lit & Writing Elementary School) was established by the Chicago Public Schools in 1964 at 4351 South Drexel Boulevard in the North Kenwood section of Chicago, Illinois. The majority of Price's students were African Americans. The school was open from 1964 until the 2011 decision by the school district to phase it out owing to subpar academic performance, which finally resulted in its closure in 2013. Price possessed a piano that was located in the school. As of 2019, a local church is housed in the former school building.
The University of Arkansas Honors College hosted a performance in Price's honor in February 2019. The University of Maryland School of Music will host the International Florence Price Festival's debut event honoring Price's music and legacy in August 2020, it was announced in October 2019. Price was the BBC Radio 3 Composer of the Week from January 4 through January 8, 2021. After her passing, a lot of her creative output was eclipsed by new musical genres that reflected the shifting tastes of contemporary culture. Although some of her compositions were destroyed, Price has continued to be recognized for her work as other female and African-American composers have. The Women's Philharmonic put together a CD of some of her work in 2001. 2011 saw the performances of Price's Concerto in One Movement and Symphony in E Minor by pianist Karen Walwyn and The New Black Repertory Ensemble. Florence Price's legacy and music disappeared into history, possibly due in part to the very small number of surviving pieces. However, approximately 200 of Price's manuscripts were discovered in 2009, neatly stashed away in boxes in an abandoned fixer-upper in a Chicago suburb. The finding has resulted in a joyous rebirth of interest in her works. We may all hope that this reconsideration of Florence Price's creativity and musicality will allow her to assume her proper position among the great American composers. After divorcing Thomas Price in January 1931, Florence Price married Pusey Dell Arnett (1875–1957), an insurance agent and former Chicago Unions baseball player who was around thirteen years her older. Pusey Dell Arnett was a widower. By April 1934, she and Arnett were no longer together; it seems they never got married. Price passed away from a stroke on June 3, 1953, in Chicago, Illinois, at the age of 66.

On 31st August 1874 The Aberdeen Tramway Company horse-drawn tramway started operating.
Initially the system opened for public traffic with seven tram cars operated by 56 horses, the trams were first built by Starbuck Car and Wagon Company of Birkenhead, but from 1883 the company turned to a local manufacturer, R & J Shinnie of Union Row, Aberdeen, who provided subsequent tramcars.
The first routes opened from North Church to Queen’s Cross and from St Nicholas to Causewayend, and extended to Mannofield in 1880, their aggregate cost of construction being £18,791, whilst, in the year ending June 1879, the passengers numbered 957,115, and the receipts amounted to £5080, at a running cost of £3959.
Aberdeen Corporation took over the company on 26th August 1898 and formed the Aberdeen Corporation Tramways the country’s most northerly municipal tramway.
Horse drawn trams were soon replaced by electric ones, the first electricity generating station in Aberdeen opened in 1894. The first electric trams ran in Aberdeen in 1899, using the standard trolley poles until 1935 when bow collectors were fitted to take power from the overhead wires; the trams were double deck and painted in a dark green and cream livery, often with the words Corporation Transport painted prominently on the sides.
In the late 1930s the city purchased 18 trams from Nottingham Corporation Tramways, which closed in 1936. Further secondhand trams were later obtained from Manchester; the last new trams for the city were built by R Y Pickering of Wishaw in 1949.
The city’s best known service was route 1, from Bridge of Don to Bridge of Dee the numbering of which is preserved by the current number 1 bus service serving the same areas; the city’s last tram operated on 3 May 1958, being replaced by diesel buses.
A short stretch of track that served as a terminus for the Sea Beach route remains alongside the Beach Boulevard where, following their final day in service, the entire fleet was burned; this remainder formerly ran right across to the former Constitution Street depot now the Science Centre, however the western end is now occupied by a hotel.
