@daniel_m_lavery Did you get to the part about the goat and the court martial yet?

CONVENIENT TO THEIR HAMS PATRICK O’BRIAN THE MAN THAT YOU ARE

@kerriandrewsuk Assuming this would be very dependent on national context - where I live (Norway) campaigns to promote "good practices for hiking" (including bringing a map) got a big push from the late 60s onwards, following multiple exposure-related deaths in 1967.

Perhaps random question, but does anyone have a sense of when it became habit to have a map on a walk? It’s been drilled into me to have the OS map or app at all times, but this wasn’t always standard practice. When did it change, does anyone know?

The Horn of Africa has experienced ongoing drought for more than two years, leading to crop failure, malnutrition and hunger.
Our latest study investigating the role of climate change in the drought will be published on Thursday morning.

@o_lough Oh wow! Never realised it looks like this! Did you ever read "To Sat Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis? Really great comedic sci-fi about time-travelling historians from 2057 trying to track down an artifact from the old cathedral, and stumbling into Victorian farce in 1888.

💔Harun represented the best of humanity in every way. Lucky we had him on this earth and in our team. My fave quote from him: "Each and every person here has huge potential. We just have to bring it out.”

Sad news from Bangladesh today. Founding member of #CPP Cyclone Preparedness Program in 1971 passed away after 50 years of contributions to saving lives across Bangladesh & Asia Pacific region through his #DRR efforts. May you Rest In Peace & Glory Sir! @BDRCS1 @ifrc @UNDRR

Mr Harun var 70, men dro på seg Røde Kors-vesten og var en tålmodig og klok mentor både for flyktningene som meldte seg frivillig, og for oss som jobbet med å sette opp strukturen rundt. Hvis jeg vil være som noen, er det han - intelligent, omsorgsfull, og ydmyk hele livet.(4/4)

Det er ikke ofte man får æren å jobbe sammen med noen som har reddet tusenvis av liv. Min helt Harun Al-Rashid gikk bort i dag, etter 50 års tjeneste i det bangladeshiske syklonvarslingsprogrammet han hjalp grunnlegge etter Bhola-syklonen drepte 300 000+ mennesker i 1970 (1/4)
Norsk
It is very rare in life to meet people in whom intelligence, kindness, and humility all shine equally bright - and when you do, you never want to leave their side. Mr Harun Al-Rashid was one of those people. His work with the #CPP saved lives, and he inspired all who met him. 🕯
