  • FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway Tunnel Between Finland and Estonia
    FINEST BAY AREA DEVELOPMENT OY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The world’s longest railway tunnel project that uses private funding Finest Bay Area - Railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia The goal of the project is to construct an undersea railway tunnel between Finland and Estonia that serves both passenger and freight traffic and significantly reduces travel time between the countries. The travel time target between Helsinki Airport and Ülemiste airport in Estonia is approximately 20 minutes. The planned railway tunnel merges the Helsinki region and Tallinn into a single metropolis. The tunnel will connect Asia and Europe into a single hub for business, travel and traffic, since the tunnel project makes it possible to travel to Tallinn by train directly from Helsinki Airport. On the Estonian side, the possible connection with the Rail Baltica project will connect the region even more closely to Central Europe. Facts about the project • Tunnel length approx. 100 km. • The total cost of the project is estimated at EUR 15 billion. • The project is based on private funds. Control over the project company will remain in Finland, with project financing provided by international investors from all over the world. Equity will amount to 30% of the financing and 70% will be covered by debt. • At the moment, a one-way ticket costs 50 euros, a return ticket 100 euros and a yearly ticket 1,000 euros. Tickets are available from an online store: https://shop.finestbayarea.online/ • The project involves planning an artificial island which, according to the larger option, would enable real estate development on the island.

    Anglican Stagnation and Growth in West Africa: The Case of St. Paul's Church, Fajara, The Gambia. By Christine Elizabeth Curley A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the History Department of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Theology Masters awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto Copyright Christine E. Curley Anglican Stagnation and Growth in West Africa: The Case of St. Paul's Church, Fajara, The Gambia Christine Elizabeth Curley Theology Masters Wycliffe College 2012 Abstract This paper investigates the history of the Anglican Church in The Gambia, and uses one church, St. Paul‟s, Fajara, as a case study to understand the growth of the Church in the country. This paper evaluates the Anglican leadership in the mid-twentieth century to understand why the growth in the Anglican Church has been so small. To understand the stagnant growth, this paper also explores the Islamic and British backgrounds in the country, as well as some of the evangelistic techniques used by the Anglicans, as well as critiquing leaders in the 1970s and 1980s at St. Paul‟s, Fajara. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Timeline of Pertinent Events ii Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Background of The Gambia 17 Chapter Three: The Anglican Church in The Gambia 32 Chapter Four: Leadership in the Church 48 Chapter Five: Two Case Studies on Leadership 58 Chapter Six: Conclusion 72 Bibliography 76 iii Timeline of pertinent events 11th century: Arabic Islamic Traders make inroads to The Gambia 1855: Anglican Diocese of the West Indies send their first missionaries to The Gambia: James Leacock (A white priest from Barbados) and John Duport (a black ordinand from St.

  • Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley
    Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley Cuthbert was a mighty man. He was charismatic, he was powerful and he was the ideal Bishop to lead the Diocese in the 50,/60s and 70s. He came form an evangelical background, but he also practised the sacrament of penance which meant that he had the catholic wing on board right from the beginning. They were heady days indeed. If you wanted to learn about the holy Spirit, there was no need to buy a theological text book because all you had to do was to stand in the presence of Cuthbert. He absolutely exuded the Holy Spirit in all its various manifestations. His height must have been close on 6ft 6inches and he towered above everyone else. Most people thought it was great that he got himself married before he retired. The rumour was that Miss Michell might have taken on more than she could chew, but it was a loving relationship and I reckon that marriage was just what Cuthbert needed. They were married by Bishop Daly in the cathedral and I had the job of ferrying BJ there, but nothing was said and I only found out when I picked up BJ later I remember when I was away from theological college and working with Bishop John Daly, the old boy reckoned it was high time that I returned to my studies despite the fact that I had failed the exams and also the essays. He told me that he had written to Bishop Cuthbert, who was an old friend to see what could be done.

The objective of the TEN-T is to promote the European internal market, regional cohesion and sustainable traffic network. • A multimodal user-centric design for total mobility is needed. Smart solutions are needed for travellers travelling in Helsinki and Tallinn as well as in other cities in the BSR. • Both cargo and passenger traffic is estimated to increase via the Helsinki-Tallinn fixed link. Developing the link would have a significant effect especially on commuter traffic but also on tourism. A preliminary study is needed in order to connect the Helsinki Airport line with Rail Baltic. Background (1) Population: Helsinki 0,6 million, Metropolitan Area 1,4 million, Finland 5,3 million Background (2) 18.11.2014 Background (3) Transport in Helsinki Public transport (2011) (million) journeys, total 205.3 buses 88.4 metro 61.5 trams 53.7 ferries 1.7 Background (4) WP3, Activity ”Platform for smart apps for passengers based on open data” (1) • Multimodal information services enable the networking of different transport modes so that they support each other, direct the travellers into using the transport modes most advantageous for the resources and the environment and decrease unnecessary transport.
