Cheryl Campbell played Vera Brittain in the BBC's 1979 dramatisation of her memoir, Testament of Youth. Her fiancé, poet Roland Leighton, who died of wounds on the Western Front just before Christmas 1915, aged 20, was played by Peter Woodward and fellow author and activist Winifred Holtby by Joanna McCallum.

Having served as a nurse at home, in Malta and on the Western Front, and lost her fiancé, brother and closest friends in the Great War, Vera Brittain struggled to readjust to academic life. She became a controversial figure due to her pacifist beliefs in World War Two. Her daughter, (Baroness) Shirley Williams (Senior Labour politician and SDP Gang of Four rebel) later said that her reputation was only redeemed in the UK by being discovered on a Nazi assassination list.

Vera Brittain passed away in 1970, aged 76.

Ina Kay Carson Pegram, 67, passed away on Friday, October 28, 2022. The daughter of the late John and Dorothy Carson, Ina was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 5, 1955. Ina trusted Jesus as her personal Savior when she was 9. She graduated from Woodward Academy in Atlanta, finishing as the Salutatorian of her class. She married the late Dennis Pegram on June 5, 1976, and received a B.S. in Music Education from Bob Jones University the following year.

Dennis and Ina ministered in Virginia Beach before returning to Greenville for graduate school. Ina earned a master’s degree in Sacred Music from BJU, following which she and Dennis faithfully served together at Hampton Park Baptist Church and Christian School until the Lord called Dennis Home suddenly on July 29, 2005. For years Ina was active in the HPBC adult choir and directed the ladies’ ensemble in addition to singing solos.

Ina loved investing in her piano and voice students. She taught at home, at school, and online through Majesty Music Academy and for her favorite students-her seven grandchildren who were taking lessons. She was a member of the National Association for Music Education, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, the Music Teachers National Association, and the National Federation of Music Clubs; she dearly loved the members of her local NFMC clubs-Crescent Music Club and Greenville Woman’s Music Club.

Ina dealt with a number of health challenges over the years but always persevered, diligently doing with tremendous energy whatever God asked of her. In addition to her beloved husband and parents, Ina was preceded in death by four infant grandchildren, brother Michael Carson, father-in-law Joseph Pegram, and mother-in-law Norma Smith.

Ina’s memory will be cherished by her children Joanie Pegram of Taylors, SC; Joshua (Liz) Pegram of Charleston, SC; Audrey Beth (Daniel) Roland of Fort Sill, OK; Bryce (Chelsea) Pegram of Allen Park, MI; Alana (Isaac) Arco of Summerville, SC; Clark-Everett (Bianca) Pegram of Lyman, SC; Ethan (Caroline) Pegram of Pelzer, SC; Lorin Pegram of Greenville, SC; and Ariana (Jacob) Parker of Jacksonville, FL; and her 18 grandchildren-Gracen, Clara Jane, Joseph, Rex, Atlas, Dottie, Liliana, Maya, and Isabella Pegram; Ezra, Noah, Micah, Thaddeus, Renee, Eleanor, Luke, and Justus Roland; and Deacon Arco-as well as siblings Mark (Susan) Carson of Normandy Beach, NJ; Suellen Carson of Brookhaven, GA; Scott (Jane) Carson of Rochester, WI; sister-in-law Susan Carson of Fayetteville, GA; mother-in-law Donna Pegram of Decatur, IA; brothers-in-law Ben (Karla) Pegram of Pleasant Hill, IA; Dan (Suzanne) Pegram of Des Moines, IA; and sister-in-law Helen (Ron) Burkhart also of Des Moines, in addition to many nephews, nieces, cousins, other relatives, and friends.

A visitation will be held Monday, November 7, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes, Downtown Chapel, with a funeral service on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, at 12:00 p.m., in Hampton Park Baptist Church and interment to follow in Woodlawn Memorial Park.

I’m like, enjoying but not loving TD Season 3. Mahershala Ali brings it and yes, the story is good so far. But there are two things that stand out to me as not as good:

1. The stakes. Since Marty and Rust were such, um, disaster people, I never really appreciated how much I was rapt by their conflicts with each other. I love how professional and competent Wayne and Roland seem by comparison, and I get that Wayne’s tension in the middle arc with his partner is supposed to fill that void. But I feel like the writing is trying to be a bit more gentle, especially because of the race angle. And while I appreciate that, it’s not holding me hostage the same way the first season did.

2. The storytelling. This really struck me today in E3 (or maybe 4?) when we see Brett Woodward running out with that ‘body’ in a bag. Or whatever the hell it was. The point is, in Season 1, we hardly saw anything unless Rust and Marty saw it real-time. It was great storytelling for that reason, we were with them for every moment of it. No alternative perspective, except maaaaybe with a little break to show the King in Yellow at the end. This just felt...cheap, I don’t know? 

[rominatrix]

Some folks over at reddit are hating TD s3 ending and I’m just sitting here wondering how much gore do you need to see and let the characters go through to get your gore fix and call it good? Why do people expect the same thing but different (?)? S1 was one thing and it was different to s2 and to s3. Deal with it but it is like that. Roland and West are most definitely not Rust and Marty. The cases are different. I get that sometimes we love somethign so much we do actually want more of the same but different. It’s like the story of every musician whose album you fell in love with and the next one they released is different and you are just not feeling it. Deal with it. Yeah everyone is allowed to not love it, but I’m just really wondering if their expectations weren’t so that they were high but they were wrong because they were expecting the same as (our) beloved s1. I mean jeez. we got some great moments in this one. That scene at the porch was beautiful, the same thing that the scenes in the car, and the scene when they meet again after all those years... that scene is a masterpiece. It’s not like we didn’t have monsters. Like those fuckers that chased Woodward that eventually led to him being killed because of their racism? You had a big motherfucking bomb. How about those who attacked Tom for going to gay bars? Or maybe that’s not bad enough? Just the fact that the kids were abducted is monster material right there? One of the kids died ffs. Maybe it wasn’t 20 kids that died or more like the fuckers in s1. And the girl was actually kidnapped and locked against her will even if when she was a kid she probably felt more safe than at her house. So boohoo... the conspiracy wasn’t huge. And as it usually happens yeah you probably have the odd plot hole which sucks when you realise but it’s up to us to see how much it affects the whole. Maybe it was not so much about the case which if you wanted you could have told it in a 1.5 hour film. Time is what matters though. I mean, hate the thing if you want to, be my guest. But it’s such a pity.

Emma Azalia Hackley (1867–1922) was an African-American singer and political activist. She promoted racial pride through her support and promotion of music education for African Americans.

Born Emma Azalia Smith in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, she learned to play the piano at age three and took voice and violin lessons as a child. Due to her very light skin color and light hair, many people suggested that she try to pass for white in order to further her musical career. She refused to deny her heritage and remained intensely proud of her roots throughout her life. She moved with her parents to Detroit, Michigan where she graduated from high school in 1886. After high school, she worked as an elementary school teacher before meeting and marrying Edwin Henry Hackley, an attorney and newspaper publisher from Denver, Colorado.

During her time in Denver so founded the Colored Women's League and co-founded the Imperial Order of Libyans with her husband. She received her bachelor's degree from the Denver School of Music in 1900. Emma Hackley promoted racial pride through music.

In 1905, Hackley separated from her husband and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she was the music director for the Episcopal Church of the Crucifixion.

Later in life, she trained artists such as Marian Anderson, Roland Hayes, and R. Nathaniel Dett. In 1911, she formed the Vocal Normal Institute in Chicago, Illinois.

She died in Detroit, Michigan in 1922.

A special collection, the E. Azalia Hackley Collection of African Americans in the Performing Arts, was founded in her name at the Detroit Public Library in 1943. (Wikipedia)

A silenciosa crise ambiental alimentada pelas máquinas de lavar roupas

Resíduos de fibras sintéticas que começamos a usar em grande escala a partir dos anos 1950 estão se acumulando em quantidades assustadoras no meio ambiente. Cada tipo de máquina de lavar utilizada solta uma quantidade diferente de microfibras sintéticas. Getty Images/Via BBC Quando somada, a quantidade de microfibras sintéticas que vão para o ambiente quando lavamos nossas roupas é surpreendente. Cientistas americanos estimam que já tenhamos produzido cerca de 5,6 milhões de toneladas de poluição de microplásticos a partir de roupas com fibras sintéticas. É uma quantidade que se acumula no ambiente desde que começamos a usar poliéster e náilon em grande escala, na década de 1950. Microplásticos que saem das roupas na lavagem estão em todos os lugares, até mesmo nas geleiras, diz especialista Pouco mais da metade dessa massa — 2,9 milhões de toneladas — provavelmente acabou em nossos rios e mares. Isso é o equivalente a sete bilhões de jaquetas de lã, dizem os pesquisadores. E cada vez mais esse problema de poluição por microplásticos das roupas sintéticas afeta também o solo. A equipe da Universidade da Califórnia em Santa Bárbara (UCSB), que fez os cálculos, descobriu que as emissões desse poluente para o meio ambiente terrestre por ano (cerca de 176,5 mil toneladas) agora ultrapassaram as para corpos d’água (167 mil toneladas). O motivo? Os trabalhos de tratamento de esgoto tornaram-se muito bons em capturar as fibras despejadas pela máquinas de lavar. O que está acontecendo é que essas fibras capturadas, junto com o lodo da filtragem, estão sendo aplicadas (como parte de fertilizantes) em terras agrícolas ou simplesmente enterradas em aterros sanitários. Estudo OMS indica que ser humano vem consumindo microplásticos “Ouço pessoas dizerem que o problema da microfibra sintética da lavagem de roupas vai ser resolvido à medida que o tratamento de águas de esgoto se tornem mais difundidos e mais eficientes em todo o mundo. Mas o que estamos fazendo realmente é apenas mover o problema de uma ‘área’ ambiental para outra”, diz o pesquisador e ecologista Roland Geyer, da Universidade da Califórnia, à BBC News. Trabalhando com uma série de outros especialistas, Geyer já calculou a quantidade total de plásticos virgens já produzidos (8,3 bilhões de toneladas); e o fluxo anual de plásticos nos oceanos (cerca de 8 milhões de toneladas por ano). Esses cálculos são extremamente complicados e envolvem modelos que recorrem a algumas suposições para preencher lacunas de dados do mundo real. Eles podem não ser 100% precisos em suas descrições dos problemas, mas ao menos fornecem alguns números importantes nos quais discussões sobre possíveis soluções podem se basear. Cerca de 14% de todo o plástico produzido é usado para fazer fibras sintéticas, principalmente para roupas. Quando essas roupas são lavadas, elas soltam pequenos fios que são muito mais finos do que um fio de cabelo humano. Para seu relatório recém-publicado na revista científica PLoS One, a equipe da UCSB tentou descobrir quantas roupas sintéticas foram produzidas nos últimos 65 anos ou mais; como foram usadas e como foram limpas. Considere a complexidade de tal avaliação: quantas pessoas em todo o mundo têm acesso a máquinas de lavar e quantas ainda lavam à mão; quantas dessas máquinas de lavar tem portas frontais e quantas tem portas em cima; quais os métodos e detergentes usados nas lavagens; entre outros fatores. Tudo isso afeta a quantidade de fibras eliminada pelas máquinas. Sabe-se, por exemplo, que as pás rotativas existentes em máquinas com a porta em cima aplicam muita pressão mecânica às roupas e, portanto, eliminam mais microfibras. Uma ‘montanha’ de plástico Quando a equipe da UCSB fez sua análise levando em consideração todas essas variáveis, o número encontrado para a massa total de microfibras sintéticas emitidas pela lavagem de roupas no mundo todo entre 1950 e 2016 foi de 5,6 milhões de toneladas. Metade desse valor, porém, foi liberado apenas na última década. Isso é em parte uma consequência de armários cada vez mais lotados de roupas. Em 1990, dizem os pesquisadores, a média global de roupas por pessoa era de 8 kg. Em 2016, cada pessoa tinha em média 26 kg. Para resolver o problema, é conjunto de soluções, comenta Jamie Woodward, do Departamento de Geografia da Universidade de Manchester. A equipe de Woodward foi a primeira a mostrar que os rios do Reino Unido podem estar fortemente contaminados com microplásticos. Essas soluções incluem a redução do uso de fibras sintéticas, a criação de filtros mais eficientes nas máquinas de lavar e o desenvolvimento de um melhor tratamento de resíduos (produzidos pelos seres humanos). “As microfibras representam um desafio particular porque escapam das estações de tratamento de esgoto aos trilhões — mesmo com tratamento avançado”, afirma Woodward. Mas mesmo quando a poluição é filtrada pelas estações de tratamento, elas estão poluindo o ambiente terrestre. Ou seja, melhorar as infraestruturas de tratamento de esgoto só vai acentuar essa tendência. “É improvável que seja tecnicamente ou economicamente viável a remoção em grande escala de microfibras do meio ambiente”, diz a pesquisadora Jenna Gavigan, principal autora da pesquisa científica publicada pela UCSB. “Então o foco precisa ser na prevenção de emissões.” “Uma vez que as estações de tratamento de água de esgoto não reduzem necessariamente a poluição, nosso foco deve ser a redução das emissões para o meio ambiente”, diz Gavigan. “Sabemos que os microplásticos estão no meio ambiente há décadas, mas ainda não sabemos qual seria um nível ambientalmente aceitável de contaminação por microplástico — em qualquer ambiente”, diz Woodward. Isso ressalta a importância de pesquisas para compreender o impacto ecológico do microplástico em ambientes terrestres e aquáticos, diz o pesquisador. “A poluição microplástica é um fato da vida moderna.

A silenciosa crise ambiental alimentada pelas máquinas de lavar roupas

Resíduos de fibras sintéticas que começamos a usar em grande escala a partir dos anos 1950 estão se acumulando em quantidades assustadoras no meio ambiente. Cada tipo de máquina de lavar utilizada solta uma quantidade diferente de microfibras sintéticas. Getty Images/Via BBC Quando somada, a quantidade de microfibras sintéticas que vão para o ambiente quando lavamos nossas roupas é surpreendente. Cientistas americanos estimam que já tenhamos produzido cerca de 5,6 milhões de toneladas de poluição de microplásticos a partir de roupas com fibras sintéticas. É uma quantidade que se acumula no ambiente desde que começamos a usar poliéster e náilon em grande escala, na década de 1950. Microplásticos que saem das roupas na lavagem estão em todos os lugares, até mesmo nas geleiras, diz especialista Pouco mais da metade dessa massa — 2,9 milhões de toneladas — provavelmente acabou em nossos rios e mares. Isso é o equivalente a sete bilhões de jaquetas de lã, dizem os pesquisadores. E cada vez mais esse problema de poluição por microplásticos das roupas sintéticas afeta também o solo. A equipe da Universidade da Califórnia em Santa Bárbara (UCSB), que fez os cálculos, descobriu que as emissões desse poluente para o meio ambiente terrestre por ano (cerca de 176,5 mil toneladas) agora ultrapassaram as para corpos d'água (167 mil toneladas). O motivo? Os trabalhos de tratamento de esgoto tornaram-se muito bons em capturar as fibras despejadas pela máquinas de lavar. O que está acontecendo é que essas fibras capturadas, junto com o lodo da filtragem, estão sendo aplicadas (como parte de fertilizantes) em terras agrícolas ou simplesmente enterradas em aterros sanitários. Estudo OMS indica que ser humano vem consumindo microplásticos "Ouço pessoas dizerem que o problema da microfibra sintética da lavagem de roupas vai ser resolvido à medida que o tratamento de águas de esgoto se tornem mais difundidos e mais eficientes em todo o mundo. Mas o que estamos fazendo realmente é apenas mover o problema de uma 'área' ambiental para outra", diz o pesquisador e ecologista Roland Geyer, da Universidade da Califórnia, à BBC News. Trabalhando com uma série de outros especialistas, Geyer já calculou a quantidade total de plásticos virgens já produzidos (8,3 bilhões de toneladas); e o fluxo anual de plásticos nos oceanos (cerca de 8 milhões de toneladas por ano). Esses cálculos são extremamente complicados e envolvem modelos que recorrem a algumas suposições para preencher lacunas de dados do mundo real. Eles podem não ser 100% precisos em suas descrições dos problemas, mas ao menos fornecem alguns números importantes nos quais discussões sobre possíveis soluções podem se basear. Cerca de 14% de todo o plástico produzido é usado para fazer fibras sintéticas, principalmente para roupas. Quando essas roupas são lavadas, elas soltam pequenos fios que são muito mais finos do que um fio de cabelo humano. Para seu relatório recém-publicado na revista científica PLoS One, a equipe da UCSB tentou descobrir quantas roupas sintéticas foram produzidas nos últimos 65 anos ou mais; como foram usadas e como foram limpas. Considere a complexidade de tal avaliação: quantas pessoas em todo o mundo têm acesso a máquinas de lavar e quantas ainda lavam à mão; quantas dessas máquinas de lavar tem portas frontais e quantas tem portas em cima; quais os métodos e detergentes usados nas lavagens; entre outros fatores. Tudo isso afeta a quantidade de fibras eliminada pelas máquinas. Sabe-se, por exemplo, que as pás rotativas existentes em máquinas com a porta em cima aplicam muita pressão mecânica às roupas e, portanto, eliminam mais microfibras. Uma 'montanha' de plástico Quando a equipe da UCSB fez sua análise levando em consideração todas essas variáveis, o número encontrado para a massa total de microfibras sintéticas emitidas pela lavagem de roupas no mundo todo entre 1950 e 2016 foi de 5,6 milhões de toneladas. Metade desse valor, porém, foi liberado apenas na última década. Isso é em parte uma consequência de armários cada vez mais lotados de roupas. Em 1990, dizem os pesquisadores, a média global de roupas por pessoa era de 8 kg. Em 2016, cada pessoa tinha em média 26 kg. Para resolver o problema, é conjunto de soluções, comenta Jamie Woodward, do Departamento de Geografia da Universidade de Manchester. A equipe de Woodward foi a primeira a mostrar que os rios do Reino Unido podem estar fortemente contaminados com microplásticos. Essas soluções incluem a redução do uso de fibras sintéticas, a criação de filtros mais eficientes nas máquinas de lavar e o desenvolvimento de um melhor tratamento de resíduos (produzidos pelos seres humanos). "As microfibras representam um desafio particular porque escapam das estações de tratamento de esgoto aos trilhões — mesmo com tratamento avançado", afirma Woodward. Mas mesmo quando a poluição é filtrada pelas estações de tratamento, elas estão poluindo o ambiente terrestre. Ou seja, melhorar as infraestruturas de tratamento de esgoto só vai acentuar essa tendência.

When you add it up, the total amount of synthetic microfibres going into the wider environment as we wash our clothes is an astonishing number.

US scientists estimate it to be 5.6 million tonnes since we first started wearing those polyester and nylon garments in a big way in the 1950s.

Just over half this mass - 2.9 million tonnes - has likely ended up in our rivers and seas.

That's the equivalent of seven billion fleece jackets, the researchers say.

But while we fret about water pollution, and rightly so, increasingly this synthetic "fluff" issue is one that affects the land.

The University of California, Santa Barbara, team which did the calculations found that emission to the terrestrial environment has now overtaken that to water bodies - some 176,500 tonnes a year versus 167,000 tonnes.

High plastic concentration found on ocean floor

Microplastics are 'littering' riverbeds

The reason? Wastewater treatment works have become very good at catching the fibres lost from washing machines. What's happening is those captured fibres, along with biosolid sludge, are then being applied to cropland or simply buried in landfills.

"I hear people say that the synthetic microfibre problem from apparel washing will take care of itself as wastewater treatment works become more widespread around the world and more efficient. But really what we're doing is just moving the problem from one environmental compartment to another," Roland Geyer, from UCSB's Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, told BBC News.

The industrial ecologist, working with a range of other experts, has previously totted up the total amount of virgin plastics ever produced (8.3 billion tonnes); and the annual flow of plastics into the oceans (roughly eight million tonnes a year).

These types of calculations are fiendishly complicated, involve models and necessarily resort to quite a few assumptions to plug real-world data gaps.

They can't be absolute in their descriptions of the issues, but at the very least they provide some ball-park figures on which to base serious conversations around mitigation.

About 14% of all plastic is used to make synthetic fibres, principally for clothing. When those garments are washed, they will shed tiny strands that are much thinner than a human hair.

For its just-published report in the journal PLoS One, the UCSB team tried to work out how much synthetic clothing had been produced in the past 65 years or so; how it's been used; and how it's been cleaned.

Consider the complexity in such an assessment. Consider, for example, how many people around the world have access to washing machines and how many still wash by hand; and how many of those washing machines are front-loaders and how many are top-loaders.

Different methods (and detergents) will shed different amounts of fibres. We also know the rotating paddles in top-loaders apply a lot of mechanical pressure to garments and are therefore regarded as big shedders of microfibres.

And think for a moment how many of the garments in an individual's wardrobe are actually routinely worn (and therefore cleaned), and how many stay on the shelf and rarely get an outing? That favourite old fleece almost certainly sees much more action than the office jacket and tie. It's thought a quarter or more of a person's clothing store probably isn't being worn at all or only very, very infrequently.

When the UCSB team ran its flow analysis on all these variables, the number that emerged for the total mass of synthetic microfibres emitted from apparel washing between 1950 and 2016 was 5.6 million tonnes.

Half of this amount, however, was released in just the last decade. This is in part a consequence of course of our ballooning collections of clothes.

In 1990, say the researchers, the global average stock of garments per capita was 8kg. By 2016 it was 26kg per head.

As stated above, increasingly the shed fibres are ending up in land settings, and improving the availability of modern wastewater treatment infrastructure is only going to accentuate this trend.

"Large-scale removal of microfibres from the environment is unlikely to be technically feasible or economically viable, so the focus needs to be on emission prevention," Bren School colleague and PLoS One article lead author Jenna Gavigan said.

"Since wastewater treatment plants don't necessarily reduce emissions to the environment, our focus needs to be on reducing emissions before they enter the wastewater stream."

This means a suite of solutions, commented Jamie Woodward, from the Department of Geography at The University of Manchester and whose group was the first to show that UK rivers could be very heavily contaminated with microplastics.

These solutions include reducing use, engineering more efficient filters on washing machines, and developing better wastewater treatment.

"Microfibres pose a particular challenge because these escape from wastewater treatment plants in their trillions - even with advanced treatment," he explained.

"We know that microplastics have been in the environment for decades, but we still don't know what an environmentally acceptable level of microplastic contamination might look like - in any environment. This underscores the importance of research aimed at better understanding the ecological impact of microfibres in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Microplastic pollution is a fact of modern life - it is here to stay and we are only beginning to appreciate the consequences."

And the Prof added: "Natural fibres such as wool and cotton have been present in our rivers and seas in significant concentrations since the Industrial Revolution. The durability of synthetic fibres means they will be in the natural environment for a very long time and can be recycled from sludge treated soils into rivers and, ultimately, the ocean."
