Christian Aid and its partners are working on sourcing and distributing food, tents, hygiene kits, blankets, jerry cans for water and water purifiers for more than 15,000 people in eight communities. They are targeting areas that are getting little help from other agencies and distributions have already started in Leogane, Darbonne and Delmas 33. Christian Aid are also funding medical supplies, both inside Haiti and for the tent hospitals at the Haiti/ Dominican Republic border. A disaster of this scale poses exceptional challenges for aid agencies, and Christian Aid are drawing on lessons learned from their tsunami response.

    Traditional Farm Buildings Survey

    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI.

    Lindsey Lightowler Dear Ms Clowes I Am Very Aware

    Lindsey Lightowler From: Edwina Ashton <[email protected]> Sent: 13 September 2020 23:52 To: Planning Cc: june merrie Subject: Objection: planning application R/52/65E. East Hill Top Barn, Countersett Dear Ms Clowes I am very aware of Yorkshire Dales National Parks' impressive and sensitive drive to enhance biodiversity across the Dales. It is remarkable and utterly commendable. Because of this, I had to write to object to this application. It is impossible to see how this planning application can do anything other than damage the biodiversity of the land to the edge of Countersett. The area is very special: just above a Site of special Scientific Interest and with a wide lake, it is almost unique in the county. It has very low population and is entirely farmed. It is one of the last outposts of many rare and declining species ( lapwing, curlew, etc) John Drewett, in the very interesting and thorough Bat Survey, writes that the surrounding habitat (trees, many streams and unusually a lake) is ideal bat territory, and on his most recent and earlier surveys he noted many species of bat and a bat roost. However he writes that because the barn is being used by a farmer and therefore contains sheep dung, it was impossible to carry out a full survey. Is this really good enough for The Yorkshire Dales National Parks, especially since there are grave penalties for even unintentionally and unknowingly injuring or killing bats or damaging their roosts? Equally with such evidence of bat activity, isn't there a huge problem re light pollution? Lighting from this new development would have to be absolutely limited.

    Friends Meeting House, Countersett Countersett, DL8 3DD National Grid Reference: SD 91926 87938 Statement of Significance Countersett meeting house has exceptional heritage significance as a meeting house closely associated with Richard Robinson who lived at Countersett Hall and was the first to be convinced of George Fox’s preaching’s in the area. Meetings were first held at Countersett Hall and subsequently moved to the present site, a former barn which in 1710 was adapted for Quaker use. The meeting house is set in an idyllic setting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Evidential value The meeting house has high evidential value. The building was a former barn associated with Countersett Hall and the fabric illustrates incremental repair and alteration from the eighteenth century to the present.

    WILLIAM HILLARY a PUPIL of BOERHAAVE by C

    WILLIAM HILLARY A PUPIL OF BOERHAAVE by C. C. BOOTH WHEN Boerhaave died at Leyden in 1738, the Gentleman's Magazine in London wrote: 'The University has lost its chief glory, and the City of Leyden, at a moderate Computation, twenty thousand pounds sterling a year, which she gained by his pupils from Great Britain, without reckoning those from most other Nations in Europe.'* This estimate, as is usual with the popular press, was something of an exaggeration but it serves to illustrate the extraordinary reputation of the greatest clinical teacher of the eighteenth century, Hermann Boerhaave, Professor of Medicine at Leyden University from I714 to 1738. It has been demonstrated that during his years at Leyden he taught nearly two thousand medical students, of whom as many as a third were English- speaking.' Peter the Great is said to have studied under Boerhaave. His more conventional pupils included Albrecht von Haller, who later played the major part in the foundation of the Gottingen Medical School, and Gerhard van Swieten, physician to Maria Theresa and the father of medical teaching in Vienna. He also directly influenced medicine in Scotland for he taught Alexander Monro, John Rutherford, Andrew Plummer and Charles Alston, the first Professors at the Medical School in Edinburgh which after Boer- haave's death inherited Leyden's position as the centre of medical teaching in Europe.2 Not all his pupils achieved such immortality. Many became competent physicians, too busy perhaps for literary endeavour, too obscure to influence the history oftheir time. There were others, however, whose works reveal to this day, as do those ofHaller, the influence and encouragement they derived from their teacher at Leyden.
