Italy: The Life-Story of Nadia Lauricella [“Iron-Nadia”]! (12.6.2025)
I believe that everyone must play an active role in their own reality: only in this way can institutions be brought closer to the real needs of citizens, especially in terms of disability. For a disabled person sometimes a step is a problem, a road with potholes, the lack of traffic lights with acoustic signals… Therefore, it is the duty of every citizen to commit ourselves to achieving a truly inclusive society, where everyone’s needs are taken into consideration by those involved in urban planning, architecture and social policies.
CSA: Remembering the CSS HL Hunley – Confederate Submarine Recovered in 2000! (8.4.2025)
These were the last Confederate soldiers to be laid to rest in the US. They were buried in 2004 in Charleston – with over ten thousand people attending – many carrying Confederate flags. The official US government stance was one of indifference and perhaps embarrassment (the US was busy illegally invading Iraq and Afghanistan – falsely blaming both countries for the September 11th World Trade Centre Attacks). One of the submarine crew – “C Lumpkin” – was British (images of what the crew looked like have been created), whilst two others (of the eight-man crew) were also non-American (“Corporal Johan Frederik Carlsen” was Danish – whilst “Arnold Becker” was Germany). In other words, three of the eight were foreign – and I know that people came from Ireland (which was then under British control) and from Mainland Britain to join the Confederate Cause.

Galmpton: Encountering a Superb Traction Engine! (1.8.2024)
Indeed, what Goldsworthy Gurney first envisioned as an “Automobile” to be driven on open roads – became widely known as a “Traction Engine” from around 1850 in the UK. Ironically, whilst carry a single driver on country roads – whilst moving between farming fields – these devices were not allowed to evolve into the Motor Car envisioned by Goldsworthy Gurney. Only much later would a petrol-driven motor car be allowed to be developed. Whilst driving back from Exeter to Galmpton on Friday evening (Friday, August 1st, 2024) – whilst traversing the narrow streets of Galmpton – we encountered the above “Traction Engine” which was apparently joining many other examples in a local fayre that was about to be held! How lucky we were!
