sea – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

The information I was given was a blue and white paddle board, which doesn't help when the sea is blue and white.

UK: Weird News from Scotland – How the RNLI Rescued a Blue Paddle-Board! (15.4.2026)

Mandy urged other paddle boarders to take proper precautions before going out on the water.

She said: “Obviously don’t go dressed like me, try and wear a wetsuit and a lifejacket.

“I had a swimming costume on, a T-shirt and a pair of Crocs. That’s not appropriate.”

The RNLI were called out to 13 paddleboard incidents in Scotland last year and 14 the year before.

Lifeboats in Scotland launched 1,172 times last year and 37 lives were saved. The number of callouts were 10 fewer than in 2024.

Scott said: “You really need to be prepared. Check the tides, the weather, the wind speed.

“Have wetsuits and lifejackets, tell people where you’re going, have a mobile phone.”

The crew said it had been emotional reuniting with the woman whose life they saved.

Scott said: “It was really nice to meet Mandy again, it’s something that doesn’t happen often.”

Mandy said: “I feel so special to have met the crew that saved me.

“I can’t remember what any of them looked like but their voices are very familiar now that I’ve met them.

“They do this unpaid, they are actual heroes.”

Brixham: A Photographic Strole Down “Windmill Hill”! (3.4.2026)

03/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Gee had to park the car at the top of Wind Mill Hill – as that was the only place a parking-space was available not patrolled by militant locals who still seem to think WWII is ongoing. I jest – but one or two were a little bit prickly – commenting about “Townies” and “City-Dwellers” with “their big cars”! And so on. Still, at the end of the day, we are the visitors and we will be gone tomorrow. After carrying-out my duty – and visiting my various family relatives – I thought it would be a good idea to make a record of the journey down the hill from the parking-spot to the rented house. The view was quite beautiful and I hope I have captured our journey on foot down a steep Brixham hill – although we could not actually find a “Wind Mill”! Come to think of it – we are supposed to be near the Brixham Army Cadet Centre – but we never found this place either!

Emergency services called after concerns about people at sea

UK: Weird News from England – Boat Seen Floating in Sea – Sparks Coastguard Alert! (23.3.2026)

23/03/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team said: “Our first informant lost sight of the boat in the mist and became concerned, so called 999 for the Coastguard.

“With our team on the way to Harrington our operations room made a request for the launch of both boats from Workington Lifeboat to assist in the search.

“With Coastguard rescue officers at vantage points in the vicinity of Harrington and our officer In charge with colleagues from Cumbria police, the lifeboats were soon on scene.

“The first informant identified the location and a faint outline of the boat could be seen through binoculars.

“The lifeboat was soon alongside and confirmed the two people were safe and well.

“As always, we would like to thank the first informant for raising their concerns, and thankfully on this occasion it was a safe outcome.”

Power to the People! Maduro Leads the Way!

Venezuela: “Don’t Worry – Be Happy!” – Worker-President Maduro Defies Trump is Extraordinary Display of Humanitarian Leadership! (11.12.2025)

11/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

All these States resisted and opposed the fascism of Zionist Israel (which serves to de-stabilise the Middle East in favour of US interests) – so it was important for both Tel Aviv and Washington to put an end to this collective resistance. Meanwhile, wherever there is oil and Socialism – the US must steal the former and destroy the latter. This is what the military build-up around Venezuela is all about. An invasion of Venezuela will not hinder the US-control of illegal drugs around the world – but probably stimulate its trade. It is important for Washington that its own poor are kept in a drug-induced stupor that prevents any meaningful engagement in the physical world – and thus prevents the development of any type of effective Socialism. This is how the “Land of the Free” manipulates the freedom of the people it holds power over. Maduro has it right – throw scorn at ALL fascist power! We, the people, possess the world in our hands!

CSA: Confederate Navy – Black & Foreign Workers! (15.10.2025)

15/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The CSA Navy was primarily tasked with defending the waterways leading from the coastal areas (and the open sea) into the Southern hinterland from attack by the Union. The secondary mission was to venture out into the coastal areas and the open sea to attack any approaching Union ship. The problem with this latter requirement is that once CSA ships were drawn away from the protection of CSA estuary and coastal batteries – the Confederate ships were often sitting ducks. This being the case, and given that stocks of new iron were low, the secondary objective was only rarely exercised. Of course, Confederate submarines did do some surprising damage to Union shipping – but this technology was still new, quite often unreliable, and usually deadly to its own crew. Despite being side-lined in favour of the CSA Army – the CSA Navy (and those who administered it) did an extraordinarily good job against incredible odds. African-Americans, both free and still in slavery, assisted the CSA in its naval requirements.

Kim Jong Un Calls for Love of Scientists Across the Nation!

DPRK: Love of Science [and Scientists] Will Build a Powerful Socialist Country! (18.9.2025)

18/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Wisong Scientists Residential District, the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp, which is nearing completion, and the apartment houses for educators of Kim Chaek University of Technology built on the bank of the picturesque Taedong River.

After a while, Kim Jong Un said it is the firm determination of our Party to build a powerful socialist country by dint of science and technology, adding that we should build a new world by dint of science under the leadership of the Party.

He earnestly requested the scientists to make redoubled efforts, always bearing in mind the Party’s plan and intention to build a people’s paradise with science.

That day the officials deeply grasped the noble intention of the peerlessly great man to usher in a new era of prosperity with science and build a powerful socialist country to be admired by the whole world on this land. (End)
