  • Written Evidence Submitted by Care4calais (CHA0029)
    (CHA0029) Written evidence submitted by Care4Calais (CHA0029) 1. About Care4Calais Care4Calais is a volunteer-run charity that supports refugees, providing for their basic needs and advocating on their behalf. We provide warm clothing, bedding, food and social assistance to people sleeping rough across Northern France. We also provide food, clothing and support to refugees in the UK. We represent the interests of refugees and seek to give them a voice. 2. Executive summary The increase in Channel Crossings is being exacerbated by UK and French Government policy, which is worsening conditions for refugees and pushing more of them to make the dangerous journey across the sea. Refugees in France endure hostility and misery, they are denied dignity and safety. Treatment of those who make it to the UK is deteriorating. People who arrive in Britain by crossing the English Channel in small boats should properly be referred to as ‘asylum seekers’. The UK government’s policy on refugees is failing to prevent chaos in the Channel, maintain control of our borders or protect the lives of refugees. The only real solution to this crisis is to create a safe and legal process by which refugees can have their UK asylum claims fairly heard without having to risk their lives crossing the Channel in small boats. 3. Ali’s story We asked one refugee, who made it to the UK, to explain in his own words why he made the journey and what the experience was like. We have changed his name for reasons of confidentiality. My name is Ali. I am from Yemen but I was born in Saudi Arabia.

    Leaky Boats and Paper Birds (2012) Lyrics All lyrics © 2012 by Katie Dahl unless otherwise noted. Ghosts of Sheboygan Town How peacefully we pass these ghosts on the road Like we never were afraid How large they all loom on the new-fallen snow We drive right through their barricade Not long ago, those shadows laid me so low I couldn’t find a way to stand I chose the pull of the undertow over your outstretched hand Let’s light this morning up, let’s drink the day down I think we’ve given enough of this love to Sheboygan town How sweetly you sing through these ghosts at the bar Like I always sang along How sleek the notes slide from that shiny guitar Like they always knew the song There have been days, dear, when all I could hear Were worries whispering my name Days when I sat alone for fear it was you to blame Let’s light this morning up, let’s drink the day down I think we’ve given enough of this love to Sheboygan town The stars sprawl in the sky tonight, silence has fallen below Except our wheels that spin like a sigh tonight toward the light of the moon on the snow How lovely you lie with these ghosts on my bed Like I always loved you back How lightly the lamp goes and halos your head, Like the night was never black There have been nights when it’s all I could do Just to rock myself to sleep Nights when I fell alone into that dark so deep Let’s light this morning up, let’s drink the day down I think we’ve given enough of this love Let’s light this morning up, let’s drink the day down I think we’ve given enough of this love to Sheboygan

Abstract This manual presents tools for the planning, design, and operation of highways in the coastal environment. It focuses on roads near the coast that are influenced by coastal tides and waves constantly, or occasionally during storms. FHWA estimates that there are more than 60,000 miles of these “coastal highways” in the US. A primary goal is the integration of coastal engineering principles and practices in the planning and design of these roads and bridges to make them more resilient.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

As you sing the songs again, may they recall memories of sunny days, and some misty and rainy ones too, of sailing on sparkling blue water, of cantering along leafy trails, of exploring the beach when the tide is out.

  • Rachel Carson
    FIRST PUBLISHED 1951 THE SEA AROUND US tells the strange and exciting story of the seas, how they came into being, and how Earth's life emerged from them. Miss Carson writes of the teeming life of the upper levels, of the icy, black, primeval depths, of the immense forces which find their expression in tides and currents, of towering mountains and desolate canyons. She describes the pulsings of spring when salmon migrate and jelly fish spawn, of the mysterious creatures that have so far evaded all man's efforts to catch them. Rachel Carson was a scientist by vocation who happened to possess the poetic, imaginative temperament of a truly great writer “The sense of force and movement in her prose is one of Miss Carson's best qualities . perfectly suited to her subject, to the restless, always moving waters, swarming with life, full of beauty and horror” Jacquetta Hawkes Over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by the sea. In this unique and fascinating book, Rachel Carson does nothing less than present a history of the sea from the earliest times and draw a panoramic picture in magnificent prose of the fantastic marine world which hides beneath its enigmatic surface. Miss Carson traces the beginnings of the sea in the Chaos of the World’s birth pangs and shows how the Earth’s first crude forms of life emerged from its saline womb. She describes the swarming life of the upper levels, the icy black primeval depths fissured with unimaginably deep canyons and ridged with immense mountain ranges, and the titanic forces of tides and currents.
